This who situation was crazy, lets be honest. Imprinted at a young age, then we had both gone our separate ways. And then, he came running back into my life, literally. And, well, here we are. Running towards well, it appeared to be the grotto. I wasn’t aware of anyone who had that wicked of a reputation that they would cause others to run just from hearing him. I mean, yes, deep down a part of me was worried, I didn’t want to get caught in some wicked scheme, but at the same time, I didn’t really know that there could possibly be such a wicked being. But Aspis, he seemed certain, and certifiably scared of this person. I felt small as I ran beside him, I wasn’t nearly as tall as he was, nor did I have as much bulk as he did.

I moved easily with him, moving the direction he nudged when need be, hoping that trusting him wouldn’t make me regret it. I hadn’t ever put blind trust into anyone in my life, so to do that now, it was a little…out of the box for me. When he led me towards a large vine against the rocks, I tilted my head, puzzled until I saw him push his way through the vines. Well, that’s new. I sighed, looking backwards over my shoulder before tipping my nose towards my chest, letting my ears tuck back against my skull as I pushed my head through, following quietly through the vines. I pressed myself up against the wall, sitting down as I watched him with weary eyes.

He apologized for the bite, and I inclined my head, not answering just yet. I let him continue, telling his tale. I couldn’t imagine the fear he had felt growing up with someone like that, but really, I had no one to compare it too so I had no idea how he felt. At all. “How could your parents leave you there? They didn’t try to get you back?! I understand you’re afraid, but I don’t understand why he would hurt me, I’ve done nothing to him, I am a nothing to him.” I shook my head, when he at last asked I had anyone to go home too. “No, my parents are long gone, although I live in spriane, my aunt and uncles aren’t there much anymore.” It made no sense as to why this being would want to hurt me, after all, he didn’t know me, nor did I know him, so him wanting to hurt me was…puzzling to say the least.

I wanted nothing more than to make this all go away, but I wasn’t capable. If this wolf was as bad as Aspis said, then there wasn’t really much I would be able to do, right?
