just let go

She really shouldn't be the way she was. She should be bitter and angry and resentful towards the world. She had every right to do so when the wolf who had brought her into this world had abandoned her, left her to possibly die at the hands of the elements. Being a lot older now, Alessa still couldn't understand what would drive a mother to abandon her child without a second thought. Had her mother not been ready to be one? Had Alessa not been the child she wanted? The girl supposed she would never know. It didn't matter much now. She was a year and a half, far past the point of needing to be babied or taken care of. She didn't need anyone. She had herself and that was all she needed. At least that's what she tried to make herself believe. And then a growl broke through her thoughts, reminding her that she was helping out the strange boy at her side because he'd twisted his paw. Bi-colored gaze flickered to the darker male at her side, audits flickering to attention atop her creamy head. Why'd he growl? It certainly wasn't directed at her, she could tell that much. So why had he? He'd turned away from, apparently lost in thought when he'd suddenly turned back after his unexpected growl, flashing a smile of apology her way. She simply watched him calmly, not in the least bit frightened or upset out by his behavior. She had certainly met stranger wolves in her travels. He was relatively normal. She could feel the quiet shock ripple through him as she pushed herself against him, using her body as a crutch to help him make the trek to the ravine. At first she thought he was going to protest, but after a moment she realized he wasn't going to do anything. He appeared to fully accept her help, as unexpected as it was. Thank you. came his quiet murmur, taking his first.You're welcome.Alessa followed suit, taking the next one until they were slowly making headway towards the ravine. She would have offered to carry him there, but she was clearly not physically built to do such a thing, so she settled for acting like a crutch, aiding him towards the ravine that would prove relief from his aching paw.
