Hollow and Alone

Fearless had never been a word to describe the silver and black wolfess. Fear, in fact, had ruled over her for most of her life. It was fear that had kept her isolated, a creature of solitude, unlike her family oriented brethren. Not only her own fear, but that of those that feared her. A peaceful creature it was her mere size that seemed to invoke the worst reaction for her own species and while she was capable of holding her own, confrontation was something she often avoided at all costs. But it was death she felt in the night air, though there was something almost palpable about the atmosphere that had settled over the two creatures. She did not know or understand what she was doing here any longer. But something bid her to stay and see out the conclusion of this day.

Step after step brought her closer and closer to the creature that had bid her only to leave. Part of her screamed to leave, to turn around and do as he had bid her to do. Runaway and start over again. The outline of the cat becoming ever clearer, the striped beast emerging from the shadow of the suns last dying light. She did not avert her gaze from his form as the timid female often did, but her eyes would not go as far as to meet his own as she approached. Her head and tail were low. Ears perked forward in curiosity, occasionally one or both of the gray audits would fold back. She stopped a few yards in front the massive cat. Despite her resistance to leave, the voice that was sealed and dry from lack of use had yet to break free.

Fear had yet to seep into her, but she was beginning to feel quite foolhardy as she stood before the striped cat. She had known such a beast before, but he had been a gentle soul. Not marred with scars and filled with hate. He spoke again, taking his own step forward. Whether it be the words or the step forward, something brought golden orbs to those of brilliant green. Inhaling sharply, she took a step back. The breath taken was held captive in her lungs as her mind reeled. Those eyes forever etched in her memory, she felt sure it could be no other, but her heart could not dare to hope.

She tried to speak, but nothing came out but a raspy exhale of air. Clearing her throat she tried again. The voice was faded and cracked from disuse. "S..Samir?" She took a tentative step forward, surely she must be dreaming.
