LEVIi will be your wings
I suppose I should have expected someone to follow me, but who it was was not who I expected at all. My father had never been very involved in me life. I'm sure he tried and I really couldn't blame him for giving his attention to the incessant behavior of my sisters. I truly didn't care if he wanted to be involved or not; if he did, great he needs to try harder, but if he doesn't than its no problem of mine. I didn't have the need or desire for the attention like my sisters. I didn't need to be coddled, I was fully capable of taking care of myself.
My eyes flashed open when I heard movement in the distance. I peered with icy cold eyes into the shadows, trying to see who it was was coming my direction. When I noticed the familiar red form of my father, I simply stared at him, my eyes conveying no particular thought or emotion. I watched him, slightly curious as he sat near the bolder I found myself laying on. I couldn't decipher his reason for coming here; if he was here to take me back home, he'd find that I was not going to listen. He may be my father but he was merely a stranger.
"Do you long to travel?" he asks curiously, his question taking me by surprise slightly. I look out over the forest and ponder the question. Did I long to travel? While I enjoyed the freedom and the solidarity, I don't think I could live without a certain home. I was destined for great things, this I knew, and I would not find them wandering like father had.
"No. While the idea is appealing, I am destined for another path," I say plain and simple, my voice cool as I continued to stare out into the woods. I desired more to life than simply wandering, I wanted the strength to be able to do what is right, to do something important; it was truly simple, something anyone should be able to understand. Unlike father though, I would not be stopped by a female. My imprint and mate would have to work around my ambition.
I am unsure of what to say to my father, so I say nothing instead. He has sought me out this day, he will speak his mind. If he wanted to fix the relationship we had, then he was going to have to work and prove it.
