Forbidden Secret
------------------------------------------------
Continuing to watch the water lap against the white sandy shore, Forbidden begun to wonder if maybe his parents had come down here. Maybe they'd rushed here to wash off their burns and clear their nostrils of the strong smelling smoke. Or maybe the other pack members had headed down towards this area in hopes of reuniting? The pup frowned to himself and let out a shallow sigh. No, they probably hadn't, he decided. They probably separated into a heap of different areas. His teal eyes were full of hurt and unshed tears, so he didn't bother turning to look at his mother. Instead he just watched as the waves continued to lap at the surface.
"This may hurt a little." The words pulled Forbidden from his thoughts, as well as the stinging that followed her words. The small wolf yipped and twirled around, giving Lolita a small glare. He knew she hadn't meant to hurt him, for it was going to make him better; but he couldn't help it. Though after a while the stinging begun to subside and a soothing feeling overcame. The fluffy chestnut relaxed a little and closed his eyes as his mother continued to apply the aloe vera. Once she finished he laid down, stretching out on his side.
Once again the dappled femme had slipped off, leaving the pup to wonder what she was collecting now. When she returned he sat back up and gave an excited wag of his tail, though quickly stopped once he saw the item she placed before him. Wrinkling up his snout, Forbidden looked away; giving a refusal to even taste the poppies. His lips parted and an angered slur of words slipped from them,
"I do not want this, I am fine. I do not wish to eat this."
Genuinely Forbidden was a pretty good pup, always obeying and following orders and suggestions. Though he didn't feel himself for once. Homesick, maybe. But after awhile he glanced down to the poppies and ate one, for he had begun to feel sick; and his rump still stung a little. For a while he focused on the unique flavour that exploded in his mouth; a mixture of sensations and disgusts. "What are you thinking about?" Once again his focus had returned to Lolita and he gave a small frown.
"Just family..., old friends. I don't know. I'm just thinking about how my life won't be the same.."
The slightest hint of disappointment could be heard in the pups voice, but he quickly smiled up at his mother and thanked her for helping him. He didn't want to talk about his family, really. He had small hopes he could begin again; fresh.
