She didn't expect him to get so angry at her; she could feel the aggressiveness coming off of him in waves. His lip was curled up so that she could see
his fangs poking out from the top of his mouth, and his eyes burned orange with a fire that Skye did not know. What was wrong with him? Did he scent her
and remember her, perhaps confusing him - but then, why would he be so angry if that were the case? Skye almost felt herself wishing that she had never come
to Inferni today at all.
She did not quail under his sharp gaze or his dominant posture. She remembered herself then, straightening herself like the leader she was, matching his
pose and even more, although he was taller than her. "I am Skye Collins," she said, still unsure of who the man was; her heart wanted him to be her
son, wanted him to be alright.. He then asked how she knew his name. Nathaniel was his name. It was sure, then and there, that he was her son -
there was no doubt in her mind then that he was the pup that she had lost so long ago to the unknown of the forest. This wasn't just Nathaniel.. this was
her Nathaniel. Her Nathaniel pup...
"Nathaniel.. do you remember me?" She peered into his orange eyes - how they were so like Bangle's! - searching for the spark of recognition, the
realization that he did know her, that she was his mother. Did he have that? Did he know who she was from her scent? Would he remember.. even after
she had failed him, failed the most important task a parent can have?
"Do you.. do you remember? Your mother?" Her heart was perhaps wrong now, as it hoped that he would remember her and he would smile and they would
go back to her pack, where she would show Robert and Erzulie their long-lost brother, and they would live happily as a family once more. But her brain was
the one who was right, now.. her brain was the one that said that he would not remember, or if he did, he would not care, and would retain his allegiance to
Inferni forever. She did not know what had happened to him.. she wanted to know. Did she? Did she want to know what led her Nathaniel to be this way?
