Thicket of Secrets Between the Raindrops

It was noon by the time they made it to Secret Woodlands and to say Rayne was nervous was an understatement.The large male shuffled nervously along the edge of the Thicket, his gut feeling heavy and his mind swirling with what was about to happen. Yes, he could step back onto the lands easily enough, as he hadn’t left the pack just yet but with the knowledge that @Silver was beside him... He didn’t want to leave her for a moment. There was a sharp intake of breath when he thought of Aideen. The girl was what he considered his best friend and the promise that was between him and Aideen filled him with even more guilt. They had been so excited to see each other, to know the other was safe and alive. What was he going to tell @Aideen, if she came by and saw him with Silver and heard the news that he was leaving? Rayne felt terrible for doing this to her. Not to mention @Kite and all the other wolves he had come to consider family over the course of time he had been in Secret Woodlands. Would they hate him, for becoming injured and then upon healing, abandoning them just like that? The pack had expanded greatly since he joined yes but he felt like he was giving them a sort of betrayal in leaving them so soon. And with nothing to show for it. Would he be allowed to come back and visit them? Would @Miccah or @Nina or any others chase him away the moment he stepped near the borders? He wasn’t aware of it but Rayne was trembling slightly and his breath had become short. He hated to let others down, even if it was in pursuit of his own happiness. He hated the thought that maybe, just maybe, this would be all for naught and Miccah and Nina wouldn’t let him go or Silver would leave him again. A small whine escaped him as his tail curled between his legs and his ears drooped against his head. His heart was torn. He didn’t want to leave Secret Woodlands but the thought of not having Silver in his future...That urge to have her by his side was even stronger.

(Short and crappy post >.<)

Silver had followed Rayne all the way back here. She used to live here. Though it was short lived. It made her feel horrible to even be this close to the lands. It caused her to have the slightest bit of anxiety in her.

As @Rayne stopped Silver stopped right next to him. She could feel him trembling lightly. It made her worry. Secret Woodlands had obviously been important to the large male, and she would be the one pulling him away from them. She knew he had agreed to leave and go with her but part of her wanted him to stay now. She wanted him to be happy. "You're sure you want to do this? We still have some time, I can leave. I just want you to be happy." Her voice shook lightly with worry. She knew there was little time left but it was enough time for her to run if Rayne wanted it.

She knew exactly where she would go, with or without Rayne. Whisper Caverns. She had made a promise to return to Narime after she did a few small things, and she had nothing left to do except for this small task with Rayne. Then she could be on her way to be, hopefully, a scout again. This time she would promise herself to be more careful. She would make sure to stay in one place as long as possible. Especially since she had made a promise to Narime.

Was he sure? Was what he was doing right? Rayne complemented this, after Silver posed the question. She had disappeared bit long after meeting him and yet, after the first time they had meet again in months, Rayne found he couldn't have said no to her.

Because you're too kind. His mind murmured. and because you've fallen in love with her

But something tumbled in his heart. What was to say she wouldn't run away again and leave him with a broken heart?

she won't. his heart whispered softy. if she's willing to follow you back and shoe you a new pack, why would she run now?

Taking a deep breath. Rayne turned to look at her, a warm look in his eyes. Yet his voice shook as he spoke, betraying the calmness he was trying to show. "I am sure of what I am doing Silver. I will be happy as long as I am with you." leaning over, he nuzzled her cheek gently before lifting his head and calling for @Miccah and @Nina, hoping they'd come soon and understand what he was going to tell them.
