Time Changes All

It was almost like a invisible line pulling her. It has always been this way; She would breakaway from her littermates to find the highest point to just look at the stars. But as she crested the top of the rise she saw a shadow in the grass. Astrea stopped, watching as the male pawed at the sky, a silly grin filling his face.
She turned her head then looking up as well watching the distant suns twinkle softly, seeming to call to her. Being close to the stars makes her feel like nothing ever could, and the closer she was the more calm came over her, like she belonged among them but gravity was not willing to give up its hold on her.
She moved forward now not even thinking, her thin body moving in front of the male, her dark pelt blending into the background as the bright purple stars that cover her flanks shine in stark comparison. She got lost in the call, her pale blue eyes becoming distant as she thought about the turn her life has. Siblings she forgot coming out of the woodwork to take her and her littermates in after the parents who she adored abandoned them. It felt like the stars has changed around her, like she had become a different wolf all together even though she still has the same stars on her pelt that she had since she was small.
Can life change that drastically that quickly? Can just one event cause a ripple so large that it changes not only your life but everyone's around you? Is that is what people mean when they talk about catalytic events? She sighed as she sat down, her tail curling around her body, her mind slowly returning to the now.
She blinked and turned to look at the male who was now just behind her. "Hi. Sorry. Did not mean to intrude." She turned back to the sky. Her eyes becoming slightly unfocused but she was not completely lost in her own mind now. "They called to me."
