FEMALE - SIX - MATE: NONE - IMPRINT: REICH

Like a moth to the flame. This unnatural pull feels just like that, tempting her to give in to what is lain before her. To drown in him as if he is the water she fears; hoping in the end he will save her instead of allowing her to sink into the dark depths she is known to. No, no yet, she not willingly to give so much, time would only tell how true this pull will be. And if she can willingly allow herself to fall, to blindly trust another like she had never done before. That does not mean she cannot enjoy him, the mute shadow stalker that is wrecking havoc in his thoughts. She flies closer and closer yet refrains from burning up in the flame he tempts her with. For even a flame can die, only time will tell just how long he will flicker before her.

The warmth of him is pleasing, the soft brush of her fur along her face. As she feels the muscles within his leg shift she knows their journey is just beginning. She keeps close, almost clinging to him in the dark. The heavy and thick scent of his, smothering her lungs in everything that is him. As he stops, he tail seems to block her from moving. As tangerine eyes shift to look at it, there is a slight temptation to playfully nip at it. Quickly is that drowned out, for it would be foolish to play in such caverns just yet. Eyes dart to watch him, a small stone thrown. As the eerie silence lets her know there is a deep drop before them.

He moves, she follows; in sync. She allows him to move her into the safety of the wall so that he is the one that risks the fall. But for some reason she cannot allow him to do such willingly without nothing in return. Her muzzle runs softly along his back, as teeth grasp firmly on a tuft of his coat. Ever ready to pull him back if he were to slip. The fact she fears for his safety is confusing but she does not question her bodies response as she moves steadily at his side.

As the end of walkway is crossed, she releases him, running her muzzle along the wet fur to smooth out the clumps as she grins at him, tangerine eyes blinking. When he moves again, eyes dart to the hole and for a brief moment she almost whines at the separation, but teeth clamp tightly upon her tongue wondering why her foolish body dislikes this so. Crawling in after him, belly scraping along the stone. And it is the light up ahead that let her knows wherever he lead her, they would soon be there.

Shaking herself out, as tiny pebbles seem to fall at her feet. It is when she looks up her breath catches at the beauty before it. Afraid to blink, she stares openly at the creation mother nature has wielded from the ancient stones. When Reich moves her eyes knowingly follow him, watching as he leaps upon a flat rock within the pond. Smiling and with his ever present waving tail, she is speechless.

Minutes pass and yet she does not move, eyes watching her shadow stalker as if he is not real. As if he is just her darkness teasing her with an innocence she lost long ago. She then steps closer, hesitant. She knows he is real, has touched him. Yet for some reason her mind denies her this. A step and then another. Hesitating for some unknown reason. Until a soft smile crosses her lips and her tail waves like a white flag in the light. "Beautiful.." Her raspy voice breathes, but her eyes are not lingering on the sight around her but what is before her. His innocence and carefree of the world is by far the most precious thing she has seen yet. Finally realizing her embarrassing and oddly childish infatuation she stills at the waters edge, allowing herself to a forbidden act.

Lowering her head as if to drink, she eyes him from the side. A gleam of play in those flaming eyes. Before her tongue reaches the surface she throws a paw within, sending a spray of water towards Reich. Hoping she had not missed a sound bubbles in her throat, its raspy and hoarse quality reveal the fact it had not been used in some time. But the more she does it, the clearer it becomes. As her laugh echoes within the cave, grinning eyes looking to him.
