I loved him; that much I knew for certain. There was nothing in the world that could change that. But what if she had never wandered into that clearing that day? Would he have found someone more suited towards him and who he was a as a wolf? In all honesty, I wondered if I may have screwed things up for him in the long run. I wasn’t outgoing or bubbly, I wasn’t the life of the party or miss popular, I wasn’t anything anyone really wanted in their life. I knew that, from a young age my faults had always been my downside, and I knew that if I tried hard enough, I would eventually overcome them, but really, I hadn’t yet. I still spoke to the nature around me, merely the trees and shrubs at times, but the birds, they sang to me in the mornings and I felt so alive when they did, so carefree that I wanted nothing more than to stay right where I was for all eternity. I was always careful though, to not do it when Ryne was around, merely for the fear of scaring him away for good.

There were times when I wondered about his family, but since we’ve never breached that subject with one another, I never brought it up. I hoped he’d had a good childhood, better than the one I had. But I knew that most families were unstable, much like my own had been. But I hoped for the better, always believing in my own silly world that he had a good childhood. I was foolish and I usually never thought things through all the way, but I knew that I had to believe those things, or else I would lose sight of who I was as a person, faults or not. There was not anything I could do anymore, I knew that in time my little ticks and faults would make their way forward and he would catch me unaware, speaking to the trees and nature’s beautiful things. I only prayed he’d stay with me, despite that little bad habit.

Laying on the bank of the falls, my cyan eyes closed, my breathing was slowly evening out as I waited, hoping that those steps that vibrated the ground I laid on belonged to my love. The touch of my love’s body as he laid with me, his larger body holding me close I grin, a soft and childish look nearly, as I wiggle my head, closer into his embrace, cracking my eyes open, a gleaming light sparking within them as I look up at his face. Goddess, how had I ever deserved to find someone like him? I didn’t know what I had done, but I would do anything to keep him as mine forever.

I lift my head, just enough to lick the side of his muzzle after he speaks. “I explored the cave behind the falls, I wish you’d come though! You would have loved it.” my voice carried to him, not that I was speaking very loud, after all he was right here, there was no need to be very loud at all. I grinned at him. The cave had been mysterious, and there had been some clumps of black rough stone in there, it smelled like the air had after the meteor struck. It had probably been part of it or something.. Right?
