All I wished to do was explore, wander far and wide, as far as the eye could see, and beyond. But I felt trapped, more or less, within the bounds of the land. But I was more ambivalent than anything. I wanted nothing more than to explore like I dreamed of, but I was terrified to leave mama all alone with her getting up in age. I knew better than to speak of such things, of the idea of mama passing onto another dimension, but I knew it was coming, sooner rather than later.
The thoughts that were running ragged in my mind were not ones I would share aloud with anyone, because lets be honest, no one wishes to talk about the future demise of a parent aloud, its...ghastly to speak of. I mentally shook myself, knowing that such things would only lead to worse ideas within the far reaches of my mind. And so, I let my attention drift back to Zanon. I had a bit of a nagging feeling, as if my mama and da wouldn't quite like this, me making friends with a boy of another pack, but at the same time, I couldn't find it within me to care much about how they'd feel about it all.
In a way, it was a bit of a rebellious streak, one that I knew would get me in trouble without a doubt, one day, but I didn't care about the consequences right now, they didn't matter much to me, and I knew that was bound to get me in trouble before I knew it.
He spoke of managing to help me explore, and I grinned. When he asked about getting in trouble I couldn't stop the eye roll at that comment. "
Mama is too busy missing dad, and Dad's to busy patrolling the borer to notice. And whats a little trouble when I get to explore, finally?!" I grinned, a small laugh escaping my lips. "
But, the question is, are you willing to be my accomplice in this? You don't mind?"
NOT ALL STARS BELONG IN THE SKY.
