Silvertip Mountain Let the devil take me

Ahhhhhhhhh I'm dying of sadness!!!! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?!?! jk, I'll archive it :)

As she curled against his soft fur, she felt his body tense as if he wanted to move away from her. Even though he eventually relaxed, it had been enough. She knew in that exact second that whatever had ever been between them would never return. The little string of golden hope she had clung to had snapped, leaving her falling into a pit of dark despair, nothing below her, nothing above her. All she could feel was nothingness as the life she had pictured for them fell further and further out of reach.

Unconsciously, that was the second she made the decision. She would leave. She would leave tonight and she would not return. She had been raised without parents, so these pups would still have it better off then she did. And no way was she going to stay here, not when she could tell she was not welcome.

So she forced her body to stay still and soft as she gazed off into the distance, a wolf she used to know doing the exact same right beside her.
