The wind was nice in his face, but it was not entertaining enough to make the little boy content. He did not understand. Life had started as something wonderful, but his little heart felt sad all the time. It was horrible. Was it because mommy was gone and daddy was angry? This family had never been truly happy and harmonic, but he remembered vague feelings of being happy, feeling warmth and love everywhere around him. Why did he not feel anything now? The feelings he experienced daily were not happy ones, and he ached to feel it again. Being with Emwe did not feel quite the same either, although the two brothers still had a lot of fun when they were together. It was just, things had changed, and he did not know if it was his own imagination. Was it he that had changed to be a bad boy? He tried to be good, but everything felt wrong and sad and scary.
Something moved in the distance, and the boy’s greying eyes looked up to see the possible figure of another wolf. First it looked like a wolf extremely far away, but then it occurred to him that it was possible that it was another boy. He sniffed loudly and found this to be true, because there was the scent of a stranger in the air. He hesitated slightly, because he was a shy being, afraid daddy would get angry if he talked with other puppies. Well, daddy had said he had been angry because Vuk had not belonged there and that he was bad. It could be true, because the black man had not smelled like home. This other boy’s scent was new too, but he could smell the home smell on him, which was the scent of Dahlia de Mai. Children were not dangerous, were they?
Conor got up on his feet and stretched his neck slowly out towards the other. ”Hailo, who is you?! The boy called out, slightly shyly. He wanted to see who this guy was. |
