gone like yesterday

Her nightmares had come back with vicious vengeance. Sometimes they were repeated, more often than not. Otherwise, she experienced a new one each night. By the time she awoke the dark dream seemed forgotten, but everyday aspects brought back details.

That morning she had aroused deciding if she wanted him or needed him. Her head pounded in rhythm with her heart and a few pants escaped her mouth. He was gone. She realized this shortly after calming. His side of the mattress, covered in sheets and considered a bed, was cold and the sheets lightly thrown back. Claws grabbed the thin fabric in a frantic attempt to keep control.

It wasn’t that Ever wasn’t used to Ezra leaving in the mornings, it was that she need someone to be there for her right now. Her dream had consisted of the strange falling feeling again. She needed the man’s warmth like an anchor on reality. He was her drug, and she needed a high dose that morning.

But alas, she couldn’t mope just like any other dawn. With one last inhale, Ever slipped from under the sheets and into the first dress she picked – a light blue, knee high gown with thick straps. After a quick rest outside the door, the silver hybrid padded to the stables.

Saphraine hadn’t been nearby for a few days, but quickly found the girl on her way. She mounted the golden stallion as soon as they reached the Miracles barn. It was silent in the early morning light except for the muted shuffles of other horses inside. The breeze felt refreshing on her auburn dusted face as Ever began to trot around one of the many pastures. Early morning chills didn’t faze her.

OOC: Me and Caspa both reacted the same way to that post. 'Ooo pretty' x) Hope you don't mind me jumping in.

There was a person-shaped hole in Caspa's life too, but it wasn't a vacuum waiting to be filled. It was a scar, healed and sealed. There was no man in her life, and there had never really been. She had a pretty good coat, though, which was a consolation at least. She wore it this morning, although the days were milder, it still helped to shrug the soft leather folds around her shoulders as she stepped into the dew. She was not blessed with the cold resistance, unlike many other forms of endurance. Maybe one form she also lacked was the ability to survive isolation. There aren't many who can. It had been a moon since she'd arrived and as she strolled, one eye idly scanning for moose hoofprints, she thought of the packmates she was slowly beginning to know. Most amiable, none consistently there - they roamed, and the territory was large. It probably didn't help that she spent a lot of her time either roaming herself, or in her secluded room.


There were one or two, though, that almost unconsciously the tall young girl would not have minded running into again. Perhaps that was why her feet turned her in the direction of the stables, that unfamiliar horse-populated world that judging by the tracks, drew a few more people to converge there than anywhere else. She had no interest in the beasts, but today, something wistful hauled her that way anyway. The light was low and still brightening when she reached the surrounding pastures. Long shadows were cast across the palely lit grass, and one of them was moving. Caspa halted, turning slowly to watch the golden stallion trot, the bluebell dress of the melancholy-eyed she-wolf fluttering against his sides.

I am SO sorry for the wait.



The feeling of the chilled breeze caused by their momentum caressing across her cheeks and pulling her auburn ringlets back quickened the pace of her heart. She could hear the beating of hooves in the elongated grass, and the sound of the whispering swish as white furred legs parted through the pasture. Aqua hued irises sleepily analyzed the hazy fog that hovered above the sea, stained peach-colored by the rising sun. Her beryl dress briefly brushed against her thigh as the stallion lurched forward in another swift gaited canter. A bird trolled nearby the meadow, its solemn song ringing deep in the morning air.

Through the indistinctness and cumbersome early silence, Ever sensed the woman positioned a distance away from the fence. She brought the lustrous honey pelted Haflinger to a gradient stop, watching insignificantly as his dark hooves disappeared in the sage strands as they stilled together. Urging Saphraine forward with an effervescent tap of her bare smoky heels, the girl brought them towards to unfamiliar biscuit-white pack member. She couldn’t help the shadowed look that stole across her face as she approached, unwilling to immediately settle gently upon the newcomer from a single remote glance.

Do you ride?

Ever asked as soon as she came close. Her melodic voice resembling springtime chimes. A very placid tug on his silk-white mane stopped the wild horse before the woman. She had never seen this new wolf and the girl found herself marveling discreetly over her unusual height and apparel. The silvery hybrid slipped a hand down Saphraine’s neck, mutely nuzzling his side with her warmth. As lofty as the wild stallion stood his withers nearly reached the original female’s muzzle – a surprising discovery.
