No! Makita thought as she stared out over the edge of a dark cliff. This was not her home, yet it was very, very highly elevated. What was there to make it better? A twister making it's way across the land, coming to sweep Makita off her feet yet again. "Don't take me away!" she shouted at the storm. Lightning flashed across the sky, lighting up as bright as the day even though night had fallen long ago. "I've finally found a home! Finally have people I love!" Love. Haha. Well, being as overtrusting as Makita was, that was probably only a little bit of exaggeration. She did have friends though. Angier, Alexander, Weldering, Vlarindara, Kinis. Oh no, please don't take me away from Kinis!
Kinis had been up on the mountain recently and Makita had the chance to meet him. She remembered the day so well. They had been on the mountainside, staring at the beautiful Relic Lore, while they spoke of good and bad and families.. Such a deep conversation. He had watched her mauled by a bear without a word, and that conversation had proved that he wasn't just a coward that didn't speak. He'd turned out to be quite nice company and out of all the wolves in Relic Lore she'd met yet, it was probably him that she wanted to see again the most.
The storm raged on, sending rain falling into her thick tawny pelt. The twister continued to advance on her though, and now tears were streaming from her golded eyes. Oh.. no.. please.. she thought hard, her tail curled up under her body and her ears flat against her head. There was nothing she could do. Nothing. Running away would be cowardly in the first place, but there was literally nowhere to run. She couldn't hide, the place was rockless and treeless, so there was nothing to hide against.
As the twister progressed, her golden eyes widened. "NO!" she shouted, because whirling in that twister were the bodies of the ones she loved. Kauda swirled around and around, gripping the massive white body of Kanaii. Liss and Johante were limp as the wind forced them to hit Tracenda and Aadte. Farther down were the ones that were simply friends. Vlarindara was screaming bloody murder. The white female had saved Makita's life, but now Makita was too cowardly to save hers. Angier simply whimpered alongside Alexander. Her alpha.. helpless. There was a grey blur which Makita guessed to be Weldering. At the very top, Kinis's body was highly visible. He wasn't swirling around like the others however. The young wolf just floated there, staring right into Makita's eyes. She knew that look, it was betrayal. "Oh, I'm so sorry.."
Miserable, Makita swallowed hard. Her golden eyes peered over the edge of the cliff. It was so far down... Letting a whimper escape her throat, she took a step forward and closed her eyes. Her stomach felt like it was in her throat as she flew and an annoying loud sound filled the air. It was her own shriek.
...
Makita's eyes fluttered open, wide with fear. It had been just a dream, but it was so realistic. Golden eyes scanned the area, she was curled up on the ground in her bloody den. The young second let her head flop back down on the ground and closed her eyes, though she was careful not to fall back into sleep. Lately, she had been having the worst of dreams. Twisters and bears and everything bad.
Kinis had been in her dream. Nobody was ever in her dream that wasn't her family, except maybe a few friends. Yea, Kinis was a friend, but he wasn't at the bottom of the twisters with the others. He was at the top, shooting her a look of betrayal. Right then, Makita had just wanted to save him, to keep him safe maybe, but instead she had jumped off the cliff. What a coward she was.
That was when Makita realized the tears in her dream had actually been leaking out of her eyes during her unconsciousness. Oh, how embarrassing. Luckily it was just her den, nobody around hopefully. She let her mouth open in a wide yawn and hesitantly pushed herself off the ground. By now, she was almost completely healed, except for a little limp in her legs. By May 5th, she should be ready to start hunting and doing regular things again. She was so excited. Still yawning, Makita took a step out of her den, waiting to see what this day brought her. |
