Tired And Broken

Figured it was about time to introduce Blind to some other Dreamers Smile Anyone's welcome to hop in whenever.

Blind trudged to the water's edge, her body tired and determined to rest. She had been wandering for too long, and as she sat by the lake, she made up her mind not to venture far from her pack again. She was grateful for the opportunities she had had to make friends in her attempt to return to her birthplace, but after being nearly blinded by a bear and having to say one too many 'good-byes,' the dark she-wolf realized that the safety of her new home was where she belonged. If she did decide to venture past the borders again anyway, she would make sure to stay within a sniff's distance.

Lying down on the cool grass, Blind let her tail dip into the water and create soft ripples on the glassy surface. It fascinated her to think that, only weeks ago, her sight had been nearly gone. Now, as she surveyed her surroundings, the eye that had threatened blindness was covered in only a slight fog, and the other was completely clear. Although the pain in her leg had returned, it wasn't nearly as severe as it had been, and the tilt in her hips was now non-existent. She considered herself blessed to have healed the way that she did, but she knew that if the hybrid she met in Halifax hadn't taken her to see a healer when she had, she probably wouldn't be as well off.

Thoughts of her friend kicked the walls of her heart and tugged a soft whimper from her throat. She missed the companionship, and hoped that she would eventually meet canines in Crimson Dreams with whom she could connect just as well. Blind knew better than to impose herself on others, but the waiting sometimes grew difficult. Being new wasn't exactly a sociable status, for all she could do was sit around and keep to herself...or at least, that's all she FELT she could do. The dark-pelted she-wolf looked down at her reflection, remembering the words her mother had once spoken to her: "You'll make friends without even trying. Just let them see who you really are.

Blind's brow furrowed. Who am I, but another wolf? she muttered to herself. What do others see in me? She lifted her tail from the water, flicking the droplets from her fur. She then slapped the water with her paw, watching a mess of black skitter around where her reflection had been.

Blind rested her head on her paws and closed her eyes. Letting a heavy sigh escape her lips, the young she-wolf reasoned that a nap would make everything feel better. Letting the silence fill her ears, she began to feel herself slowly dozing off.
