The boy was older than me, that was more than clear. It was his eyes though; that captured my attention. A pink hue I couldn't quite name. They were more than captivating. I tried to not stare, but in my defense, it was hard to not. I tried to force my eyes away from his, knowing I would be coming across as a creeper the more I stared at his eyes. I drew in a deep breath as he began to speak himself. Zanon, From Iromar. I let my mind wander for a moment, thinking to when dad had told us who were allies of the pack. My breath released in a sigh of relief. They were allies. Yay! That meant I wouldn't get in trouble for talking to the boy. Score.
I gave a soft smile, mother's shyness kicked in, and I felt strange all of the sudden. I tried to push it away, but I couldn't find the shyness creeping in. I never knew when it would kick in, or when I would be overcome with it but damnit, now was sooo not the time for this! I huffed a little, listening to his words as I tried to mentally battle the feeling that was sweeping over me.
He had to be a year older than I, as he was beginning to look more like a wolf than a gangly pup like myself. Part of me felt alone in that aspect. Sure, I had Stryker. But I had yet to run into any other wolves of my own age, and that, was sad. I let my attention snap back to him, little snippits of information was rolling back into my mind. The layout of the island was unknown to me personally, but mom and dad had described a lot to me. "
From what my parents have told me, Iromar is quite a ways from us here. But then again, furthest I've traveled is the woodlands, at least alone." I wrinkled my nose at my own statement. "
I keep trying to tell my parents I'm old enough to explore on my own but they wont listen. How do you get yours to let you go wherever you please!?" I plopped the question out rather quickly. Interest sparking in my eyes as I wondered how I'd be able to get out from under the watchful eyes of my parents. Dad wouldn't let me past him on the borders if I tried, I knew that.
NOT ALL STARS BELONG IN THE SKY.
