Firefly hadn’t really had anyone to talk to in a while. Jacquez seemed to think everything was a game and she wasn’t sure if any of their pillow talk actually got through to his head. Svara had been gone for a few months and Firefly hadn’t even attempted to draw herself out of the shell she’d hidden in, but somehow this little puppy had been able to do just that to her. She smiled as she watched the little girl settling in for a minute, wishing that she had realized sooner how much she’d kept inside this whole time. It wasn’t like she could do anything about it now though so she just let it be and entertained the child’s questions while wondering on her own.
Firefly hadn’t realized that her actions had really been that visible to the child. She hadn’t wanted to frighten her but it seemed that just speaking of the beast that had attacked her was bad enough. A tight lipped frown fell upon her lips as she stared off past Amaranth as she revealed the truth behind Firefly’s suspicions. The bottom fell out of her stomach as her nails dug into the palms of her hands. The small cat had slowly crept up to where Firefly was sitting and pawed at her blankets, trying to get her attention as she was lost in her anger and rage.
The words of the girl shook her to her core. She had known that Haku was dangerous but she hadn’t ever thought he would attack a child that wasn’t part of the clan. She had known what he’d done to the young coyote but that had been in the mists of war, of revenge for the actions against his sister. She narrowed her eyes as she spoke. ”Yes Amaranth, I do know him. He was once my mate.” She lowered her eyes slightly as she asked, needing to know the whole story. ”He tried to burn you? Amaranth, what ALL did he do..” She had to force the words between her lips as she tried to swipe her tongue across her suddenly dry mouth. Firefly wondered who all knew of the man’s actions but that wonder was soon answered as Amaranth spoke again.
Her emerald eyes were like green flames as she barely noticed when Elroy moved away at Amaranth’s asking and crouched down low beside her, swishing his tail and batting at her own fluffy plume. She glanced back towards Amaranth as she tried to sooth her fears and worries as she actually listened to the girls words again. She sighed as Amaranth asked her more questions and spoke of Leroy’s emotions when Ayita had told him the truth of the mater. ”No, he wouldn’t hurt us just because you told. He’d just us just because he likes others to feel pain. He’s wanted me dead for a while, knowing what he did to you won’t do any more harm than what already exists between us.” She didn’t really know what to say. She had a feeling that she would have to tell Ayita just what had happened but she didn’t want to tell the truth to the woman in front of her daughter. She didn’t need scared anymore than she already was. Firefly just sighed quietly and turned to watch Elroy as he pounced on Amaranth’s tail.
