The rain was pouring down around me, yet I didn't feel the need to find cover. I've lost the ability to care long ago. I looked up at the darkened sky with sad eyes and a hand over that shameful mark forever frozen in time. I heard a soft whimper coming from my left. I glanced over Adain was shivering his beautiful red and brown coat did the wolf no good against the harsh elements. "I'm sorry boy lets go find sum shelter till this storm calms a bit" I cooed to my shivering companion. Adain nuzzled my leg as if to say its alrighty before running off to the dry cave just ahead. I immediately started up a fire and threw Adain the last of our meat. he devoured quickly no wasting a piece. "Were gonna have to make a detour if we wanna be able to eat" I told the wolf. He whined quietly and seemed to shake his head as if he agreed. Laughing I relaxed against the cave wall, "I think you understand me more then I do sometimes." I joked feeling my self grow tired. I felt Adain curl up next to me just as everything faded to black.
Dream
please Kevin, miss Autumn bring my mommy and daddy back I miss them" our young mistress Begged crying over her parents coffin's. "It's all my fault" seemed to be the only thing that ran though my mind. I glanced over at Kevin his red eyes met my mismatched brown and green ones in a moment of understanding. We were such opposites but for the moment we were exactly the same. Master and mistress were the closest thing to family we had. And I was supposed to be protecting them. They put their trust in me and I failed them. In that moment I had decided. I didn't care what happened to me anymore I would bring them back. I glanced at Kevin once more and I knew he made the same choice, we were in this together. "Erica, honey" I paused picking up the crying child in my arms, "we will get your parents back I promise" I cried out burring my face in her shoulder. Kevin's eyes softened and he walked over to us I looked up eyes red and swollen as he wrapped his arms around us both placing his chin on my head, and we cried for our sorrows, just cried.
Dream End
I sat up immediately gasping for air. I reached up and touched my face. I felt wetness on my finger tips "I-I-I cried?" I stuttered in shock "I-I hadn't cried in twenty years". Adain whined and licked my tears stained cheeks as I buried my face in his soft fur thinking about that night. "I wonder what it could mean I hadn't had that dream in a long time" I thought feeling a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach at the thought of the all too familiar memory. I looked outside it was still pouring out, the rain fit my mood perfectly at the time and all I wanted to do was go stand in it for hours letting the water wash away all my sins. I sighed getting up and snuffing out the fire hiding any reminisce of it every being there. Adain whined and nuzzled my leg again as if to ask if I was alright. I pat his head "I'm fine" I reassured him but I was mostly trying to convince my self. "lets get going we don't need Pandora catching up with us again" they were sure to send there strongest members after us this time... especially after what we did to them last time I shuttered at the thought of it and stepped out into the rain it felt good on my heated face. I stood there for a minute then easily broke into a fast run Adain right along side of me. We ran through out the day taking small breaks here and there. We finally reached the town of Reignsworth around evening. I slowed to a stop just before its gates and turned to Adain, "you gotta wait out here buddy" I told him ruffling his fur. He whined at me and bumped my hand. "Hey" I laughed "you know you'll scare all the townspeople if you come with you wanna eat right?" he looked to the side, "see I'm right" I gloated smiling at the childish wolf "why don't you go kill something" I offered watching as his ears flicked back to acknowledge my offer then he barked at me and took off into the forest. I snickered at Adain's reaction and turned to face the gates. The sinking feeling settled its self back into my stomach and thunder crackle in the distance the rain was on its way.
