Her fur had yet to cover her scars, but they barely bothered her anymore. At least not physically. Savina really wasn't a vain wolf but at times she worried if they would be off putting to Kansas. The only person who had ever really made her feel beautiful was him and now that she had that she didn't want to lose it. While she was walking down the hall she stopped into one of the rooms that had a mirror. The obsidian fey frowned as she looked at the puffy pinkish lines that stood out starkly against her fur. Most were on her arms and legs, though there were a few on her chest and sides. Solemnly she left the room, having had enough of her self inflicted torture for the day. She wondered where Apollo was. She hadn't seen him since he had found her collapsed inside the borders after the fight. He had taken her to Naniko. That was all she knew though. No memories remained of her actual encounter with Hybrid. She had no idea that Apollo had come to aid and in all likelihood had saved her life. Savina looked into his room, not really expecting to find him, but she was pleasantly surprised. "Hey there," accented tones said softly. - Apollo Haddix - 01-21-2009 [html] we prey as wolves among the sheep and slit the necks of soldiers while they sleep [/html] - Savina Marino - 01-22-2009 [html] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v515/ ... banner.jpg); background-position: bottom center; background-repeat: no-repeat;"> Eagerly she walked inside and sat next to him on the bed. "I'm...doing alright. Better than I was." It had been a long recovery process. The emotional had been worse than the physical. As her hands laid in her lap, her eyes couldn't help but run over the scars again. That was where they were the worst. She sighed, unable to push the thoughts from her head. "Do you think the hair will grow back?" Savina wasn't sure why she was asking Apollo. He probably didn't have any better idea than she. Maybe she had just needed to get the words off her chest. There was a sort of awkwardness that she couldn't quite pinpoint. Perhaps subconsciously she knew that he had been there. That he had seen her like that. But sitting there now she couldn't think of why she felt that way. Her gaze switched over to him. "I never thanked you. For finding me and getting me to Naniko. I'm sure these would be worse if you hadn't." The wolfess hadn't been able to help but wonder how he had found her. Had it just been chance that he had stumbled upon her? For some reason the odds of that seemed to great. "How, ummm. How did you find me?" Everything about that day was so fuzzy. - Apollo Haddix - 02-04-2009 [html] we prey as wolves among the sheep and slit the necks of soldiers while they sleep [/html] - Savina Marino - 02-05-2009 [html] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v515/ ... banner.jpg); background-position: bottom center; background-repeat: no-repeat;"> His words of reassurance about her scars were comforting. She was fairly certain that they would heal over just fine as well, but it was good to hear it from someone else. The wolfess had never really had any scars before, at least not any this severe. There had been some after she had saved Noah from that wildcat but they had all been much more superficial than these. Back in Italy she had never really had a serious wound. Ah, what a sheltered life that she had lead. "Yeah. You're probably right. Thanks." She remembered next to nothing about that day. Savina had run to find Hybrid and had caught his scent. After that she remembered nothing until she had come to wounded in the forest alone and had known she needed to get back home. When she had made it back she had immediately passed out from exhaustion. She remembered that Apollo had found her and took her to Nani but even those memories were jumbled. At his words her eyes grew wide. He had been there? He had seen her like...that? That horrified her and it certainly showed on her face. "Y-You were there?" The fey could feel her hands shaking and she clutched them together to hide it. "I...I don't remember anything. I came to alone in the forest..." - Apollo Haddix - 02-06-2009 [html] we prey as wolves among the sheep and slit the necks of soldiers while they sleep [/html] - Savina Marino - 02-08-2009 [html] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v515/ ... banner.jpg); background-position: bottom center; background-repeat: no-repeat;"> As he relayed what he knew of the fight, she rubbed her hands together nervously and stared off into the distance. Savina hated that Apollo had seen her that way. Just hated it. That wasn't her. That...that thing wasn't her. And now she realized that she probably owed the younger boy more than she knew. If he hadn't found her...would she have stopped? Would it had been a fight to the death? At this new information she thought for a second she might faint, or get sick, or something. Her hands clutched onto the bed for support. Her breathing had become more labored as all of these thoughts swirled through her head. "Oh Apollo..." she said in barely more than a whisper. "I...I think you saved my life..." If not for him neither of them would have stopped fighting. The femme had figured already that she had come perilously close to losing her life, but now...now she knew that she really had. "What you saw there, it wasn't me. There's this...monster inside of me. It took over after what I found out that Hybrid had done to your father..." - Apollo Haddix - 02-08-2009 [html] we prey as wolves among the sheep and slit the necks of soldiers while they sleep [/html] - Savina Marino - 02-08-2009 [html] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v515/ ... banner.jpg); background-position: bottom center; background-repeat: no-repeat;"> The Italian fey shook her head. She knew that he was just trying to make things better. To try and make it seem like what she had been wasn't so bad. But it was that bad. She knew that better than anyone. "It wasn't just the adrenaline. It's happened before, but it was never that bad. The other times I remembered what had happened. Not this time..." Luckily she was getting help. Savina was learning what she could do to control the beast that lingered in the darker part of her. Even so, it was a hard pill to swallow for her. She didn't want anyone to see her like that. Especially someone she cared so much for like Apollo. Oh no, she had said too much. What the hell had she been thinking? Obviously she hadn't been thinking about what was coming out of her mouth. Her head shot towards her dear friend, almost like a little brother. There was no use covering it up now. She knew that he wouldn't settle for some made-up answer. "Pilot said that he...he touched him..." The girl swallowed hard. "He kept him in Inferni. That's why he disappeared from here." But quickly her hand grasped Apollo's wrist and she looked deeply into his eyes. "Don't do what I did Apollo. I know you'll want to, and I don't blame you, but don't. It has cost me so much. And I...I couldn't bare...loosing y-" A sob choked the last word and she wrapped her arms around his neck. The thought of him going out to get revenge like she had and getting hurt or worse terrified her. She would never be able to forgive herself if that happened. - Apollo Haddix - 02-10-2009 Good place to end probably?[html] we prey as wolves among the sheep and slit the necks of soldiers while they sleep [/html] - Savina Marino - 02-11-2009 [html] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v515/ ... banner.jpg); background-position: bottom center; background-repeat: no-repeat;">
Si! The older wolf breathed a deep sigh of relief as he promised her not to go search Hybrid out at Inferni. It was easy to feel the anger radiate off of him, the same way it had surely radiated off of her when she had found out. As much as she had wanted to avenge her friend, it hadn't been worth it. It hadn't been worth risking her life over. Risking all of her relationships. Risking the safety of her pack. She regretted what she had done with ever fiber of her being. The last thing she wanted was for the dominoes she had started to keep falling and causing more pain. "Thank you." Savina's head nodded against Apollo's shoulder. "Of course." Maybe Pilot was better now. More healed. Even if he wasn't, maybe his son would be able to get through to him better than she had been able to. The sudden break of their closeness left her feeling cold and alone. She wrapped her scarred arms around herself as she watched him walk out the door. Of course she would forgive him. She loved him as family and owed him her life. While the femme knew that he would keep his word and he would be back, something inside of her told her it wouldn't be right away. She only hoped it wouldn't be too long. |
