Though he didn’t regret the words, he regretted saying them. Her words pierced his ears like a knife, offended, angry, a snarl with the hint of the woman he liked. He backed away, fearful of his life as she came at him, afraid that she too would put his head on her belt, though he wasn’t quick enough. It wasn’t a deathblow but the backhand felt like it should have been. Tears of pain and misery welled up in his eyes, though he kept them in and kept his mouth shut.
“I’m sorry... my way of life is not what you find appealing to yours... but I have learned that no matter what one did in life in death they shouldn’t be treated the way you COYOTES treat these wolves. Life threatening or no.”
STUPID SHUT UP he thought as he bit his tongue, but it was too late, she was yelling at him, snarls of hate, words of anger, he could only stand now just watching her, not sure how to take in what she had said, yet her last words stood out as the woman stormed off. He did not always live in the safe haven he was in now, and he knew if things went wrong one of his neighbors would be looking unkindly in the direction of New Dawn. He knew... he knew how it was for it was like that in Cour des miracles after the AniWayans raided Crimson dreams for a prisoner and Niro and Vigilante had savd Foxglove so Jiva had been awake every night, afraid that some tribesman would be at his door trying to break it down and take his sister and his life. Yes he knew, but what did it matter anyway. He paused, watching the woman with the pretty curls disappear into her lands. He left before someone else found him and did far more than what she had, though right now he would just lay down and let them do it for he was just a stupid pup who couldn’t keep his mouth shut anyway.
