Thread: Innocence beneath the moon

Large, heavy footsteps sounded through the patch of the trees were Callista sat, her blood littering the ground beneath her.. but were her blood had fallen, flowers began to bloom. She paid no attention to them, but stood up straight and reached for the blade she had tossed away, bringing it up to her chest. The wolf again.. She sighed and let the blade slip from her fingers... knowing it would do her no good. Had he come to beat her too? Rape her and use her. A pained sigh escaped her lips as she stared into those golden eyes again. Have you come to punish me too? She tried to sound angered, mocking even.. but her voice was too shattered, too shallow. What a suprise it was to hear the wolf apologize. He thought of this as his fault? No.. If it wasn't for the wolf, her father would have found another reason to get rid of her. She knew he hated her.. despised her and now she had known why. Callista was not his child, and it pained him.. he wanted his own.. and he wanted a son. His heart must have been shattered when he found out his wife could not have kids, perhaps that was why he was always away? Wasn't your fault She stated, lowering herself from the rock she sat own. Her body froze, listening to him as he continue to speak. Did he truely think her wings made her wonderful? The things that had haunted her adult-hood, made her wonder away from people of her own kind. Yet here he told her she was not human.. never was. Before, she would never have beleived it, but hearing that her parents found her.. werent related to her at all. Hearing over and over that she did not belong with them. Then again, just last night she had confirmed that there was other species living on this earth.. was there even more. Perhaps her place was with them instead? These monsters.. What did she have to loose now? A decision had been made.. she would meet these wolves and see what the knew of her kind. If they knew nothing, perhaps they would help her figure out were she fit in this world.. even if it was with them.. the pack as he called it. She didnt know, she was scared.. so worried, but if there was one thing she knew, it was that right infront of her was something that had no intention of hurting her. A living creature who offered her a place at his side, if only for the night. She wasn't ready to put herself at risk and follow him away but a warm side and a soft comfort for the night sounded so wonderful. Callista did not want to think about anything.. not her adoptive mother, and not the man who had every intention of using her body until he received coin for her. She only wanted comfort.. and the sleep that would follow. Forcing her feet to move once more, she moved infront of those golden eyes. A delicate, and shaking finger moved over his head, down through his neck fur and tangled in the golden hair at his side. The look in her eyes gave him a warning.. though they thanked him. She was grateful for even that little bit of company. Even if in the end he intened her harm.. she didn't have much to loose now did she? Lowering herself onto the grass below her, she leaned into the warmth of the canine, letting her aching legs spread out across the ground. Shutting her eyes, she felt his chest rise and fall with each breathe.. enjoying the warmth that radiated off his body. Her lips did not move to speak.. for she had no clue what she would say. All she wanted was to drift off into sleep, let these emotions fade away.. tommorow she could start with a fresh, clear head. Or so she hoped.
