a change in the wind
chapter 6
yes or no
2 and a 1\2 weeks later, april 19th
me and karyme have been getting closer over the time we have been together but karyme has left every night between 3 and 5 in the morning and coming back whimpering in pain, laying down next to me and falling back to sleep again, I am wondering about it but i am going to find out what she's up to.
I was awoken by a kiss on my cheek. I slowly opened my eyes just in time to see Karyme heading towards the dense trees, at a brisk trot.
Now I'll find out what Karyme's been hiding from me I thought to myself. I slipped out of the tent and followed at a fast walk. I kept Karyme in my sight the whole way. Not too close that she would hear me, yet not to far that I would lose her.
The trees started to get denser the farther we walked and I was only able to catch glimpses of her. Shit. I'm gonna lose her! I can't see squat!, Eventually I lost sight of her for good. Where did she go? I started searching around the area I saw her last. Nothing. She's disappeared. I turned around and started heading back to the camp.
Oh, well. I'll just try again tomorrow night. Then I heard it. A whimper. It sounded exactly like the one Karyme made last night. I headed in the direction of the noise.
I pushed through a rather large clump of trees and saw Karyme on the ground, with her back against a tree. She had her legs spread and she was pushing her pointy tail in and out of herself. Everytime she would push back in, she would let out a whimper. Some of them were louder than the rest. She had her head arched back with her eyes closed and her teeth gritted in pain. So this is where she disappears every night.
Suddenly, a Hoothoot gave a very loud "hoot" right behind me. I jumped in surprise and tripped over a protruding tree root. I fell out of the trees and flat on my face. I lifted my head to look at Karyme. She had a stunned look on her face and we stared at each other for what felt like forever... Karyme blushed and flipped onto her stomach. I got up and walked over to her.
I sat down beside her and put an arm around her.
"You must think I'm some kind of freak," she said, covering her muzzle with her paws.
"Karyme, I will never think any less of you. No matter what you do."
"But I feel so, so...dirty. Ever since my old mate left me for that bitch. Sorry about my language."
I don't care i swear all the fucking time I just don't do it that much around you, anyways Go on."
"Well, ever since he left me, I've had this growing need. My body needed him, but he wasn't there to relieve my needs. I not only needed him, but I wanted him. I'd cry myself to sleep every night. I had nightmares about the moment he said he was leaving...
FLASHBACK
A lone Houndoom was running through the trees. It was nighttime. The moon shone down on it, making it's fur shine. It carried a dead Buneary in its mouth. The moon was a symbol for Houndoom. It gave them strength. That's probably why you hardly see them out during the day. Night belonged to the Houndoom.
The Houndoom ran across a river and then out across an open plain, never stopping once. It ran for hours until it finally slowed down a bit. This particular Houndoom was a male. Any female would kill to be with him They all said that he should take over as alpha male. Normally, Houndoom fight for dominance over the pack. He slowed down to a trot as he entered his pack's territory. Some of the females without mates came out of their dens to greet him. They flirted with him, calling out his name. He chuckled softly to himself.
The never quit, do they? He gave them all nods, trying to be polite and continued on to his den. He crouched down and walked inside the little dugout den. It was just as he left it at dusk. His love, Karyme was lying on the floor on the far side of the den. Two pups were suckling on her breasts eagerly. They were both about a month old and still didn't have their black fur yet.
"I was getting worried, Kain," said Karyme with a smile as he put down the Buneary in front of her and they nuzzled affectionately.
"Don't worry, my love. I will always return for you," said Kain as he layed down in front of her and licked her neck. Karyme put her paw over his paw and put her head down on his soft fur. "Did anything happen since I left?"
Krystal is so jealous of me it's ridiculous! She offered me a piece of meat today that looked like it was killed two months ago. She's trying to poison me!"
"I will have a talk with her to see what's going on," said Kain firmly. "She's gone too far this time."
Just then another Houndoom came into the den with a serious look on her face.
"Kain, I. Oh," she said when she saw Kain licking Karyme on the neck. "I hope I'm not interupting anything."
"No, no. What do you need, maggy?", Kain said turning to look at the Houndoom.
"There's another Houndoom that just stumbled into camp. She's badly hurt and needs help. Could you help us?"
"I will be right there," said Kain. The other Houndoom took off out of the den. "Karyme, I'll be back shortly," he said standing up.
"I'm not going anywhere," said Karyme. Kain gave Karyme a lick on her muzzle and took off after the other Houndoom. He hurried off to a group of Houndoom huddled around in a circle near the entrance of the territory. He pushed through the others to the center.
A Houndoom was lying on the ground bleeding profusely. Blood was coming out of a single long gash on her stomach and she was coughing up a bit too. Kain knew the move Moonlight. It was a move that restored health to the user, but Kain learned how to direct it to others. He was kind of like the doctor for the pack. He lifted his head to the moon overhead and closed his eyes, concentrating on the moon's radiating energy.
A strong ray of moonlight shone down on the Houndoom. It lifted her up off of the ground and the slash melted away, stopping her bleeding. She lowered back down as she was finished healing. Kain opened his eyes again and his fellow Houndoom cheered. The female Houndoom on the ground got to her feet and nuzzled Kain's neck in thanks.
"Thank you so much," she said. Kain walked her over to the group of dens for guests. He walked her inside and she settled down on the ground. Kain wished her luck and turned to get back to Karyme.
"Oh you're leaving already?", asked the female Houndoom. "Couldn't you keep me company for a little while. I feel so lonely."
"I really must get back to my mate," said Kain. I could tell this female wasn't different from any of the others. "She's waiting for me." The Houndoom cried out in pain. She wasn't really in pain. She just wanted him to stay. It fooled Kain. He had a look of concern on his face and he turned back to the Houndoom. "What's wrong? Where does it hurt?" The Houndoom smiled and said, "My heart. But you can fix it, can't you?" Kain turned around and started to leave again.
She was exactly like the other females. Kain stopped when the Houndoom called him again. "This had better be important. I need to get back to Karyme." Kain turned around again, but when he locked eyes with the Houndoom, he lost all intention of returning to Karyme.
The Houndoom had him locked in a stare. An Attract stare. The Houndoom's eyes were a pale shade of pink and Kain's eyes turned the same color. "You don't want to return to Karyme," she said. "I don't want to return to Karyme, " replid Kain in a monotone voice. "You want to spend the rest of your life with me."
"I want to spend the rest of my life with you," said Kain in the same voice, moving back into the den and sitting next to the Houndoom.
"You are my mate."
"I am your..."
"What are you?"
"Mate."
"That's a good boy. Now give me a kiss." Kain leaned in to her in a robotic way and licked her on her muzzle. The Houndoom smiled in an evil way. Back in her den, Karyme's heart gave a throb. She groaned in pain and looked out of the den. "I hope Kain's okay." She put her head down and went to sleep, comforted by the thought of him returning in the morning.
Light flooded into the den from the early morning sun. Karyme opened her eyes and yawned widely. She turned her head to her left expectanly hoping to see Kain there. The space beside her was empty. She sniffed it. He didn't even return last night. His scent wasn't there. Now she was a bit worried. He always comes back during the night, no matter what was going on.
She couldn't leave to look for him. She had to watch her pups. They whined for her when she would go outside to urinate. She turned to the two little pups and started grooming them. She looked up when the sunlight was blocked by a figure at the entrance. It was Kain.
"Oh, Kain! I was so worried about you! You didn't come back last night." Kain didn't move. He just stood there staring at her. "Are you okay Kain? What's wrong?" He still didn't move. He just stood there in the entrance. "Please Kain. Stop it. You're scaring me!" Then he spoke in the same monotone voice he spoke in last night. "Goodbye Karyme. I'm leaving."
Karyme sat there not moving a muscle. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Kain? What are you talking about? Where are you going?"
"I'm leaving with Sarah. I'm through with you."
"Sarah? Who's Sarah? What's going on? If this is a joke, it's not funny. You're hurting my feelings!", Karyme said tears forming in her eyes.
"This is no joke. I'm leaving for good."
"Kain! No!", Karyme exclaimed as Kain turned around and walked away. Karyme got up and ran out after him. The pups started pining as the warmth left them. Kain was already at the entrance to the pack's territory and nuzzling a female Houndoom. She grinned at Karyme and took off. Kain looked back at Karyme and that's when she saw it. His eyes were glowing pink. She stopped in her tracks and stared at Kain. Kain turned around and chased after the Houndoom. Karyme started crying openly now. She didn't care that the whole pack could see her. She collapsed to the ground sobbing as the other Houndoom, young and old came out of their dens to watch her...
END FLASHBACK
Karyme looked up at the sky.
that bitch stealing others mates who does that i said in a pissed off tone
karyme chuckled and said My needs slowly subsided when I realized he wasn't coming back." She paused for a minute and looked back at me. "Then I met you and my body responded to you. It wants you as my mate. Actually, I want you as my mate. The reason I do this every night is because I was too ashamed to ask you to be my mate. I satisfy myself. It hurts because my tail is sharp, but it helps more than it hurts me. If I didn't relieve myself, I'd probably pounce on you because of my want for you."
