Been living in a dream about you

this too, is sappy :o

As soon as she saw him sitting there, on their bed with his eyes closed and his back leaned against the log wall there was nothing that could be done to stop the smile that spread across Anann's golden face, setting it aglow with the simple, blissful happiness that only he seemed to bring to her. It started small as it often did, though its presence undeniable as it pulled at the corners of her lips and as his golden eyes reached her eyes of a darker, deeper hue it would only grow. Reaching its glorious full potential as he rose from the hodgepodge arrangment of mattresses clad in furs that served as their bed and she felt his arms come around her as he pulled her into his embrace. It was a such a simple thing, a small, loving gesture as he gave her a quick kiss. So simple, yet it always left her feeling so satisfied, so loved and yet pining for more. Never had Anann thought that she would know what it was to find such happiness in another. To share such a love. Such a thing had never been hers to hold amd she had never expected it to be.

It was an intoxication. The way the world seemed to blur away during the hours they spent together. Nothing else seemed to matter so long as she was with him. Anatoliy completed her world, the new life she had set out to create for herself. Though it hadn't been until he had found his way into her heart, her life, that she had even realized what had been missing. Ignorance had been bliss, but it was nothing compared to the knowledge that had come to replace it. Anann saw a new future for herself. A shared future, for she could no longer imagine what life might be like without him. He had become a large part of her life. And it was frightening. Hell, it was down right terrifying to the she-wolf that had always been so independent. Heath's departure had been a hefty blow to her heart, but to no longer have Anatoliy in her life, that would be devastating. To feel so connected, so dependant on another was a vulnerability she had never had. Love was a double edged sword, and so it was no wonder that it often left so many hearts bleeding.

There was no time for such thoughts on this day though, as Anann sought to leave such things behind. To move on past the sudden loss of her closest friend. Today was a day for distraction and for her and Anatoliy to spend some much needed time alone. At least somewhere other than the confines of their home. Anann had only asked that they go somewhere beyond the pack's borders. Though there was nothing wrong with the time they had spent in the packlands. Within the walls of their cabin. She had thought it likely that they would be headed north, perhaps to the ruined city. She has heard of a library there that she hoped to explore one day to see if still held any tomes that she might find of value. There was also the harbor, larger than the one within the packlands themselves. Or perhaps even the mountains that lay even further north. She had not given the south much thought at all for the simple fact she had scarcely ever been further in that direction than the pack of Dreamers, though she had not ventured north of their own borders either since she had first come through those lands to where she now knew as home. A genuine look of surprise came over her, ears perked and her head tilted slightly off kilter as he talked of heading southward, though her smile, that silly, silly grin, never faded.

There wasn't a chance for her to question further as he took her hand and lead her back out into the brisk morning air and pointed southward toward their distant destination. She gave his hand a tight squeeze as her eyes lit with excitement. Anann had heard of the castle. Jazper and Haven had both spoken of the weaponry that could be found within. She had seen it once, from a distance, but had yet to explore it at all. Nor had she heard of the haunted nature of the halls. "Haunted? Do you really think so?" The question genuine. Anann had heard tell of haunted places where spirits were tied to the earth after their death rather than moving on to the next life. If it was, she would be curious to see if there was any truth to such myths.

The sun sat high in the sky by the time the dark walls of the castle began to appear on the horizon. Growing larger and larger as they drew ever closer. It was massive and one of the largest structures that Anann had ever seen. Sure, she had seen pale imitations of the massive stone castles of ancient Europe. Things she had only seen in books. Staring at it so, it had taken her a moment to realize that Anatoliy had so quickly shed four legs for two. Her own change was quick and there was only a slight delay as she vale to stand at his side. Her hand seeking out his. "Have you ever seen anything like it?" She wanted to know what it was like inside, to wander its halls and see what secrets it might hold.
