I think I found hell

Athena breathed in the cold air and let it out in a contented sigh, a small smile playing on her muzzle. Oh how she missed this weather. She was slowly beginning to adjust to the warmer temperatures of the East, but this chill was still the climate she was used to. She wouldn't dare breathe a word of missing the North to Amalia though. Her little woman was so happy to be around her family and if living in the East was what kept her happy then Athena would gladly adjust. But, just occasionally, Athena would make a quick trip up to the north, just to visit. She hadn't quite gotten up the courage to go back to the Sparse Pines yet, that place held far too many memories, most of them either bad memories or good ones that had been soiled by some other event. No, she would stay far away from there for quite a while still she imagined. She moved slowly and without much purpose, her steps leisurely and aimless. She had no real destination or plans for the day. She was simply enjoying the cold and the snow. That was until a scent reached her on a cold breeze, one that she had thought she would never smell again. She froze in her tracks, trying to sort out her thoughts as they instantly became a confused tangle. In her searching for him she had thought she had found his scent several times and ran after it till she had run herself ragged, but it had all been a figment of her imagination. She looked around frantically, a sense of panic settling over her. Was he actually here? Was she going crazy? She had been sure that she had finally moved on, that these hallucinations had finally stopped, but had she been wrong? Maybe coming up here had been a mistake, maybe she should have stayed home. |
