Wapun Meadow i must become a lion hearted girl

she's easy to spot- her sister. the little shadow sticks out amongst the light toned colours around her and polaris straightened, swallowing nervously as lainie made her way through the flowers towards her. a weak smile curls along her mouth and her own wispy tail attempts a little wag as the girl sits. her mouth is suddenly very dry and she swallows nervously as she's asked what's up. how does she even begin? she's never felt so anxious around a sibling before but in reality it's all just down to the guilt and how she should go about handling it. it wrings around her gut everytime she recalls the moment she'd ran away from her sister, usually so strong and full of joy- broken down at all their paws. how could she be angry at her brothers if she caused her the same pain?

inhaling shakily, polaris forces herself to fix bi-eyes on her company. "i..um, i...i'm so sorry lainie!" she chews at her lip, paws shuffling subconciously in the dirt, knocking over a few unsuspecting flowers. "i was a big meanie when i ran away from you i feel so bad for doing it please believe me i....i was just being scared and weak. i couldn't handle the truth so i ran away from it...and you. i can't imagine what it was like for you to see that and i didn't want to so i was..." she grappled momentarily for the right word before letting it escape in a shameful whisper; "selfish" she looks away now, eyes dropping to little dirt speckled paws as she continues to worry at her lip nervously. would her sister forgive her? 

a moment later she simply mumbles out; "i love you so much lainie, swear...and i'm glad you told me the truth" that's all she could do right? her eyes lift once more, wide and anxious. she wants to embrace the girl but she holds off because what if she doesn't forgive her? the idea fills her with dread as she peers over, all she can do is hope what she said was enough. they needed each other, now more than ever.
