Thread: The curse that corrupts all [HimekoxTinyThings]

Grim had certainly felt the warmth from Layla, but hadn't seen the extra wanting towards her, other than the sisterly love. Grim, however, never had a reason not to consider such a thing. She'd never known family, the way Layla did. To her, the love she felt for Layla, might as well be that for a lover. She wanted it, to be that. Layla was beautiful, and sweet, although a little vindictive towards their family. Grim had started to feel the darkness inside her, and it caused her heart to drop slightly. It was a darkness, she once felt on Ahmelien as well. She could only guess, it had something to do with their magical powers, knowing now that they shared that. But Grim knew, that she had brought Ahmelien back from the darkness, and helped her resist the corruption, so she knew she could do it again. After bringing Layla home, Grim was forced to explain a few things to the pack. While most of the pack agreed to welcome Layla into the pack, almost all of them mentioned that they would be cautious, at first. Coldtooth, and his gang, had already mentioned, that Layla had the ability to use the old Witche's powers, just as well as Ahmelien did. This hadn't helped. But with the combined efforts of Ahmelien and Grim's promises, it was agreed that Layla could stay. The pack was, more or less, a democracy, whenever it came to important choices. A vote was cast. But before it was, Grim promised that she would leave with Layla, if the vote went against her. This had increased the odds in favor of her, since most of the pack loved Grim. So Layla, stayed. After the meeting, Grim had to have a conversation with Ahmelien as well. They discussed her actions, and Ahmelien let Grim know the facts. She was no longer bound to the pack, but instead bound to Layla. Her promise had been, that for as long as she was the last Witch, she would belong to the pack. Now, she wasn't the last Witch, and her oath send the binds over to Layla. After this, Grim joined Layla, and Ahmelien sat down to wait. Ahmelien never slept anymore, the corruption having ripped the ability to, away from her. While this might seem a blessing to some, it felt like a curse to Ahmelien. She was never felt depraved of sleep, though. But she had so much time to spare, and so few things to do. Her life span had already been increased by so many years, so she had nothing to look forward to there, either. It was just a very, very long life, with no rest. As Layla moved around, Grim moaned slightly, making herself small as Layla was out, almost crawling into a fetal position. But she stayed deep asleep, silently breathing as Layla left the hut. When she stepped out, Ahmelien quickly looked up at the Blood Elf, and smiled happily, quickly getting up from the primitive chair. She shook her head a bit, as she was thanked, loooking upon Layla with great joy in her eyes. And when she was apologized to, she looked surprised, and then a little sorry, as she walked closer to the other woman. No, no.. Do not be sorry.. What.. You did.. For me. I could never repay. She started, smiling as she tried to make Layla look up again, without touching the other woman. You.. You couldn't possibly imagine.. How it feels, to be loyal to a pack, that holds so little love for you.. Or.. Maybe you do, but.. But I have been oath bound to this pack, for so long.. Used for.. So many things... And all, because of one big mistake. She looked down for a second, but didn't break into a frown, instead looking back up at Layla. But.. No more! Because, I am not the last descendant of the Witche's blood, anymore.. So now.. I am bound to you, instead.. Th.. Thank you. She thanked Layla, as she sat down on her knees, with her hands on the ground, bowing her head before Layla. I am yours, now.. To do with, as you please. She said, with a small, relieved smile on her face. She had felt so much pain, in her life in the Pack. Only after Grim took over, had she felt love. But still, she had no place among them, and she would never be respected, for anything but the loyal dog she was. Ironically, being that in a pack of Werewolves. A ironic joke, she didn't want to be part of, anymore.
