THE NEXUS OF SATISFACTION

thunder
He found her seeking refuge under the foot of a tree, her arms hugging her folded legs and shivering in the cold of the rain. He kept his sharp gaze on her and he watched her small figure, her head bent and ignorant of his presence. She was, at that moment, a perfect example of a terrified prey struggling to find safety in the foot of a tree that could never offer security.
Was she…frightened?
"What is it?" he asked, unable to decipher what exactly was terrifying her.
She lifted her face slightly, just enough for her eyes to meet his, naked fear visible in them.
"There is no enemy," he offered, as a frown settled its way into his lips. She threw him off the seat of Certainty and he did not like it.
A flash of lightning illuminated her trembling figure, followed by a roaring thunder that made her flinch and inch backward until her back found solace upon contact with the trunk of the tree.
"Thunder?"
No doubt his tone was displeased, although it held a slight hint of surprise for the very idea took him unexpectedly.
Wordlessly she nodded, reassuring herself in a tighter embrace.
"Thunder?" he was forced to ask again, in disbelief. And was it not months ago that she challenged his half-brother's most powerful nemesis?
Gods,
even the fears of the woman were twisted.
