Ever’s Dress

388

======================================================

The smell of the wild flowers on the breeze was enough to drive any young wolf out into the open. She had tamed her wild red curls in a braid that ended abundantly above her tail and slipped on a silk dress she had found in a chest in the stables. During the process, not one smile kissed the maw of the female, her face a thick wall of woe. Her frame was still underweight and her head pounded with the loss of sleep she had experienced.

This was her first step outside the stables for weeks. She was tired of being depressed, but still couldn’t shake the last stages of the feeling. It was impossible to smile and her mind was an uproar of painful thoughts. Unbearable as it was, the girl was out to make things better again.

By her side, as always, was the stallion. He walked in her shadow, led by an invisible rope. Saphraine was like a guardian to Ever, watching her always. Together, they wandered, searching. The horse was wild, never ridden for Ever had never sat upon his back. She wasn’t ready and neither was he; the companions could read each other like a pop-up book.

She knew not what she looked for, but what she needed. The silver girl was familiar with uncommon herbs and the scents never left her memory. Along the moors, various herbs had already passed her, but Ever was out for one; something that would calm her anxiety and hopefully put her to sleep. Her muscles were tense and her mind spun. She could have sat down and cried right then and there, the gash in her heart as big as the hills themselves. But she had already spent to long doing so.

The girl had no desire to meet anyone else on this trek. Her voice was sore and she looked worse for wear. Occasionally, Ever stopped to scent the air, but prey was not something she wished for. It had been hard to eat while the feeling of being abandoned hung over her like a storm cloud. Her aqua eyes were dull, even when she caught scent of the Kava on the breeze. Her ears twitched gently as wisps of clouds drifted across the oasis of blue in the sky.
