They had occupied a small part of her head over the past months, her thoughts roaming and roving over the possibilities, the shame, the odd, vicious sort of thoughts creeping through the hybrid matron's head. Samael loved her more than the others, albeit in a way that had turned unexpectedly against her, though Kaena could do nothing but take responsibility for the monster she'd created, the horror to so many others that she herself held elevated and beloved in her heart. He whispered to her then, his dreams of her death seeming to haunt him. The coyote woman's hand strokes his hair gently, her fingers kneading through the knots that had entangled themselves into them. He was so damaged, so like her—the hybrid gave a little sigh and rested her chin against the top of his head, her breath tickling against his ear. "I will not leave you again," she promised, knowing it was a lie through her teeth—the only way this could come to pass would be if Samael died before she did, and the hybrid woman would not wish that on either of them. She had children ripped from her grasp before. "Do you dream such things often?" she said, pulling away so her yellowed eye could look into his crimson ones. Even behind all of the rage and discomfort in them, there was an echoing, mournful sadness lurking there. The night was quiet for a long time, deathly still and free of any of the usual noises of small animals moving about, crickets chirping, owls hooting. It seemed all had fallen completely silent about them, though out of respect or fear, Kaena could not tell. A thought occurred to her, and she tilted her head to the side, her yellowed eye searching Samael's "Your brother has come home," she said to him softly, naturally meaning his only whole-blooded brother, Razekiel. Though there was happiness in her voice, there was a strange sort of ache, perhaps missing the child who lurked on the outside of Inferni's border, though Kaena could certainly see why, considering Samael and Gabriel's history. |
