Shadewood lonely man of winter

"I look inside myself and see my heart is black..
I see my red door I must have it painted black.."

Her words still shook as she belted out things that felt true in her heart, a heart of gold tarnished into a shining ebony color. How could she have created life in such a way, should she sew a bright scarlet letter on her chest but she was not allowed to tell. Instead she darkens his door but he wont let her escape, wont let her hide.

"Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts!"

Would he really be so angry if she were to fade away, if this all would go away. Tears began to fall from her pale blue eyes as she closed them and lifted her head to belt out the next line of her song. A friendship ruined, and now the lie would start. To herself, to her friends, to her pack, to her children.

"It's not easy facin' up, when your whole world is BLACK!"

She let the last words echo and linger as long as she could hold it. Tears continued to fall but she did not open her gaze until one word came from behind her. Immediately her tall ears fell to her skull and the next line of her song died in her throat, oh no, she would have to face the facts now. Slowly she turned to face him, tears still in her eyes as she gave her childhood friend a sad excuse of a smile. 

"Hey." One word, just like him.
