My eyes refuse to leave his even though he isn't gracing me with his lookers. It's clear to see i too am lost in his unexplainable adventure too. He tries to explain every detail but struggles to find the words to do so. I offer him another nod letting him know there is no rush. I wanted him to take his time since i could see just how much it was bothering him trying to figure it all out himself. I was curious to say the least and even when he explained each detail of what he saw, as if my mind was incapable of storing such information, i failed to create anything before my minds eye that could be classed as normal or similar. If i was speaking with anyone else i would probably have chosen not to believe what i was hearing, it did sound farfetched and unlikely, but as it was Titan.. I knew he wasn't lieing. He then goes on to explain the sharp sensation he felt reach his flank, something again, i'm not familiar with and despite my attempts to try and understand, i still have trouble doing so. I let him carry on and tell me about the culprits that caused him harm and my eyes grow wide with curiosity. I was like a pup again being told a story or myth, something that would most probably give me nightmares but i couldn't stop myself from wanting to hear more.

After much time has passed, I come to the conclusion that what Titan is trying to say.. Is that he had been taken and held captive by some unfamiliar force. Something so foreign as a creature that walks on two legs. To anyone else it may have sounded insane, perhaps they would accuse Titan of being delusional and incapable of holding a stable mind.. But i knew different. Although i hadn't spoken, my mind was taking me back to my puphood, long before i met the soldier who would take me in as his own, long before i met Fang and forged a sibling bond that would lead me to following him along his path to Blossom Forest. I had never spoke of what occured before i had been taken in, so it was understandable that Titan would speak of these two legged creatures like they were anything but normal. However.. I too, had witnessed the strangely shaped beings that my love spoke of.

I take a deep breath and let Titan finish his story. A gentle whine escapes my chest when he tells me about just how abused he had been and his harsh fight for survival. I longed to move forward and comfort him, tell him to stop and tell him i couldn't bare to think about the torture he had endured. But i don't, i can see his determined nature seaping through his words, he was going to get this out in to the open whether i wanted him to continue or not and that i understood. Guilt washes over me, hating myself for thinking he was out pleasuring himself with another female, perhaps even spreading his gene like a forest fire when all along he was unable to get home. That being the reason my searches for my love had failed to bring me good news, he wasn't in Blossom Forest at all. The chain that had been attached to his being i was familiar with and brought back faint memories of my puphood. Titan seaks of the chain being negative thing and i completely understand, i too.. Had been subject to the negative attachment but unlike Titan, i had sulked and admitted defeat. I was only small when i had been found my the fearful creatures that i soon grew to care for, only to be abandoned for something that was not my fault at all.

When he finishes, i'm still silent and overwhelmed by guilt that was probably clearly exposed on my palette. How could i possibly begin to apologize for thinking he was anywhere but the place he truly had been? How could i believe he was happy and had elft through choice when really he was enduring more pain than i could ever begin to understand. His voice brings me back from sorrow thoughts and when he asks me if i wanted him to save the rest for later, i was leaning toward begging him to never continue. I had heard enough.. And forever his torture would hound my dreams for years to come. My heart sunk throughout the entire memory he spoke of and as if we had been bound and connected psychologically, i could almost feel the pain and sadness he endured. I shake my head lightly while my eyes plead for him to not continue, i couldn't take the heartache occuring in my chest any longer. Pale paws shift my closer to the male, finally meeting him where he had shuffled to earlier and whether he would reject me or not i was unsure.. But i couldn't resist throwing my skull around to rest my chin on his nape in a wolfish embrace. His masculine cologne tickled my nostrils, teasing them and i longed to be drenched in his scent to warn off other males letting them know i was his completely.

I sigh momentarily and then somehow, i manage to speak. Courage was not coming easily but when i did i managed to grab it like a bull by the horns. "I'm so sorry.. How could i not know? How could i let myself believe you would leave me without word when i was so terribly wrong.. I'm so sorry Titan.." Tears take advantage of the emotional situation and are quick to begin trailing their translucent existance down my cheeks. "I know what creatures you are talking about.. I, too have been taken in by them." I remove myself from our wolfish embrace to look at him. Chocolate meeting emerald for the first time in quite a while. ".. Before i was taken in by Silver Dagger, after my mother left me in the middle of nowhere.. I was found by the beings that also found you.. One was smaller than the other, the smaller one looked as alone as me and i couldn't help but feel drawn to its excited, puppish energy. It took me to a place and fed me, it would find these unusual objects that still to this day remain foreign to me and it would move it across the ground and for some reason i couldn't help but feel drawn to it and long to play. After only a few days, i was sleeping beside the creature and felt protective towards it much like i felt it did with me. I was not alone in the pack, these dogs you speak of.. I am familiar with them and they too lived amongst the creatures and they told me they were called Hoomans? Something like that, i can't really remember now.. But they spoke fondly of the breed but after a short while, they grew jealous of the bond i had created with this one hooman and they turned on me. Making fun of my large paws and bigger appearance, i snapped.. and before long.. I was back in the wilderness where i started." The tears continue to fall and i shift my gaze from Titan not wanting to reveal the hurt i felt that day, especially when he had experienced something so bad that involved the same creature i spoke so fondly of. "After that Silver Dagger found me and when i spoke of these hoomans that had taken me in to their pack .. He dismissed it and said i was being ooflish, that no such creature existed. So i do know what you speak of Titan, i'm just so sorry you have been through so much.. And what a terrible home coming.."

I slip my gaze back to my love and silently i'm begging him to forgive my awful accusations. One thing was for sure, i would never be so foolish again.
