I T was an odd thing to think of, this imprinting. The way he felt when he looked at me, it was not as I imagined it would be. Though, perhaps I had been mistaken and had only seen the part of him that was most apparent. The cruelty, it was threaded through him like it was sewn into his fur, draped across his back. I had fled from him, driven by self preservation and a deep rooted fear of my soul. How could the fates have placed me with such a creature? Oh yes, I knew of imprinting, I had heard the word whispered about and had asked about even this when Sleekwing was ill. I could not have imagined that I would have such a dark other half.
T H O U G H I was frightened of his mere existence, I knew I would have to see him again. The ache in my chest made me aware of just how tightly our bond brought our souls together, made me feel as though I could not breathe without this monster of a male. I yearned to know him deeper, to see if all this cruelty would be what he would always be capable of, or if perhaps he could learn to be a bit softer. I had no intentions of taking him to bed, how could I? He reminded me of home, where all the wolves hated me and bit me, where I was picked on and shoved about. I was not sure I could ever see him in a romantic light, but I had nothing else to do with my time at the moment, and I was not sure how I could fool anyone with my eyes being as distinctive as they are.
M O V I N G with graceful strides and light paws, I am silent, light as a feather, and almost undetectable. I know he will be able to sense me, however, and though I hate knowing, it is a comfort that I will know when he arrives as well.
"I know you are close, beast." I say in my china doll lyrics, my dark form coming to halt when I feel the shadows creep up over my half of the soul I shared with Malikye. The flame of his gaze rakes over my back and I am stunned by just how much he can affect me. I had no way of knowing if I would survive the encounter with my soul or not, had no idea just how far his mean streak goes, but I do know that I would leave a mark if I was forced to defend myself. I was born to survive, and so I would here with him as well.
N O W, to find him.
