Ross moved with ease, bumping his shoulder against his daughters as they walked. Oliza walked on the outside of Emeline. The girls had found him a few days ago, after meeting and telling stories they heard of their fathers, before realizing the two had the same fathers. The two girls were so mismatched in colors, you would never assume that they were half-sisters. He saw parts of himself in each. Emeline was almost all white, part from the red on her hips, and the black on her face and silver on her nape. The rest, she took after her mother. Her skin was pink and she was so, delicate, it made him smile to see his girls together. Oliza, she was darker, split of half black, half her mother’s mottled greys. They both had the same gold hue, in one way or another, they were just like him. The girls stopped, and so did he, turning his head, he rubbed his nose against the two, knowing they were headed back to their mothers sides. They did it so that they wouldn’t get in trouble and he understood it. He watched the two girls go off in separate directions, a sigh falling from his lips. He wished he had done things different, mainly with Oliza’s mother. He shuddered when he thought of the terrible things he had done. It was so unlike him, so caught up in the moment that nothing was able to stop him and he hated himself right now. There was a group that was growing before his eyes, and slowly, he decided to slowly make his way into the thick of things. His eyes searched the group, wondering vaguely to see if anyone he knew was there or not. He didn’t notice anyone, but he still moved towards them, his ears shifting slightly as he walked, his paws digging into the soft earth below his feet. His mind moved back to the surreptitious act that he had committed those months ago, nearly a year. It shook him to the core and he hoped that should he ever run into Daisy again, that he could find a way to condone for his actions that he made that day. He sighed as he stopped by the group of wolves, his ears alert and listening, but his heart was not into talking to anyone now. |
