Yes, it was impossible.
She would never keep her, and as Anu felt the other body sift and move away from hers the thought became truth. Blue orbs looked as the grey female moved backwards, her steps creating the fissure between them that she had so quickly closed just seconds before. Chilled air hit her stomach, and Anu could only watch. Her mouth stayed closed, her lips fighting the burn they felt. Anu could read the emotions of her face, knowing them all too well. They were memories, but Anu hadn’t forgotten how it felt.
Anu didn’t step forward, her paws rooted in the floorboards. She had readied herself for this very moment, and it took every ounce of her being to not fall to her knees and beg. Instead, her face went soft and eyes watched the other woman’s features. Remembering the sweetness of it, the gentle jawbone that she had held and the never-ending depths of her green eyes. She wasn’t gone yet, she hadn’t ran… Anu still felt her hold on her fragile body and the touch of their lips. It was all too real to have been her imagination.
You don’t have to. There was understanding in her voice. She knew that their moment would end, always did. And for the briefest of moment, mere seconds Anu could understand why. But for once there was nothing forcing her to go, there was nothing left to loose, nothing left to give up. In the end Geneva would leave her, but she wouldn’t leave until Anu told her, I don’t want you to. Her voice was strong, lacking the tears she thought she would shed, instead the words were threaded together with steel. There would be no more hiding, and she felt the fight rise from the bottom on her being. Awaken and ignited the small wolfess knew there would always be something worth searching for, battling until she heard the cry of victory. |
