Blind

This Darkness is Closing In On ME

Blind had stood on the edge for awhile now her white fur blown in the wind. The darkness that was falling down on everyone else she couldnt see but by how much cooler it got she could almosttell the time of day.

Why cant I seem to speak why are all these colors fading?

Something was wrong and the female knew it. It was deep inside just one of those instincts that kicked in every now and then. The female began to pace back and forth back and forth coming close to rose bushes but not quite touching yet. Her blind eyes looked around her searching for what even she didnt know.

Why does this pain me so Why cant you see what I see?

Nightcrawler

The jet-black male was worried about Kali still, whom had hadn't seen for some time now. His own wounds were healing now and hardly bothered him, but a restless mind wouldn't let him rest.

As he traveled over the land, his senses fell upon Blind. Have I met her yet? He wondered to himself, having heard about her at least. Nightcrawler changed his course and now headed towards Blind, making his footfalls heavy so that she might be able to tell he was approaching. "Greetings." The wolf called out as he drew near.

Blind

She glanced up in his general direction and smiled faintly "I have been blind all my life you do not need to make your footfalls heavier then normal." Her mind wandered but she shook herself back to the present and forced herself to hold the calm easy manner that had always been so easy for her. "Wont you come sit? I havent seen anyone for many days." Her voice was soft and gentle like that of a mother. Blind had never had pups but had always wished to one day have some. She knew now that she might never have any for she was elderly and Blind and the trait may pass on to the pups and that was not something she wanted. No definitly not. To be able to see colors was something blind had always wished for. A wish that had never been granted

Joscelin

The yearling had been on guard duty atop a cliff, and came down, not bothering to make his steps heavy as Night had. Though he had never met Blind, he had heard much about her from his mother and Eytan, and so knew about her. Hello Blind. I'm Joscelin. Second male of Karai. She has told me much about you, as has Eytan. I am glad to meet one about whom I have heard so much good. He bowed his head respectfully, thinking she might feel it, even if she could not see it. Joscelin was definitely the diplomat of the family: level-headed and dependable, definitely the most sensible of his siblings.

Blind

She nodded in Joselins direction a smile on her face. Her tail waved showing she was happy to finally have someone to talk to. "I dont understand how so many know about me and I not know about them. It is a pleasure to meet both of you gentlemen." Blind smiled faintly then turned in the direction of the Silver Glades. Her 'daughter' Fallen Angel had come to give her the news that Aaka and Legosa had had pups. Although Blind knew she couldnt see them she always loved the bundles of joy even if they might one day grow to be monsters. She shook her head of that thought and turned back to the two males. On good days she could see outlines and shadows. She strained hard but a faint sigh escaped. Today wasnt a good day.

Dont take what you have for granted for one day it might be Stolen from you

Joscelin

Joscelin smiled back, though he knew she couldn't see. Instead, he let his words smile for him. You must admit, Blind, that a blind wolf that lives over about three months is indeed an oddity. And one that learns to get about alone and even help with pups is quite extraordinary. He laughed just a little, and smiled again. Of course, this is a pack FULL of oddballs.

Blind

She laughed softly "Angels Sin had her pups I heard. Im glad but Im not sure how she will do. She is indeed and oddity." She had smiled when the pup said that it was odd that she had lived more then 3 months let alone six years. She had had help at times but she was proud to know that she had accomplished something in her life.

Nightcrawler

Nightcrawler smiled sheepishly when he was informed of his uneccessarily loud approach. Taking up her offer, Night padded nearer and sat down beside Blind, listening at first to her conversation with Joscelin. After a moment, he piped up, "Um... has anyone se... heard of Kali recently?" He questioned, quickly changed 'seen' to heard', for he didn't know how sensative Blind was to, well, being blind.

Joscelin

Joscelin's eyes grew sad at the mention of Kali, who had once been like a sister to he and his siblings. We've neither seen nor heard anything of Kali... and Mama's worried. You know, Mama half raised her. And now Kali can't stand her. She acts as though Mama is trying to control her life. And his eyes squeezed shut against the memory of his mother's face after her last encounter with Kali. I don't understand! We protected her as a pup, Mama loved her, still loves her, and supports her as much as she can... and his voice grew soft. And she's breaking Mama's heart... And he looked back up at Nightcrawler, his voice more steady. Of course, Mama would never admit to it. She'd never admit that one pup meant more to her than any other... but... Kali is special to her. She loved and protected her... and understood her in a way even I don't understand. There's a lot I don't understand about Mama. She once told me that she and Kali are alot alike, but I don't see it. I just... and his voice faded again, so soft that Night would have to listen carefully. I wish that I could help... if only to understand why... and to keep Mama from hurting over it so much...

Nightcrawler

Nightcrawler listened with a look of utter remorse. Deep down, he felt guilt eating away at him, for Eytan had wanted him to protect Kali at all costs. And now... she could be dead for all he knew. Sad yellow orbs looked to Joscelin as he nodded to the wolf's words. "I understand much of what you are speaking of. I don't know her relations with others too well, but from what I've seen of her, she's got a darkened soul." Night shook his head, frowning now in thought. He had tried his best to turn the wolf around, trying to make her happy. "I think I'm going out to search for her now... I can't let Eytan down." Night said, lifting himself up. With a polite bow to Joscelin and a word of 'farewell' to Blind, the dark wolf took his leave, heading out of the pack's boundaries on a mission he hoped wasn't fuetile, but figured it would be.
