LUCIFER
ii would stop running
if ii knew there was a chance
it tears me apart to sacrifice it all
but ii'm forced to let go
Black knees snapped high to make the going easier as the female wolf trotted across the clearing. It was obvious she was running, but from what, well that was another thing entirely. She had caught a hold of his scent just a few moments ago. She wouldn't be able to rest here much longer. The only question to her was how long she'd have to run this time, and how much of a rest she'd get after. Unfortunately, her black bodice stood out like a sore thumb among the green, and her white marking would easily define her as who she really was; Lucifer, a wolf bound to die for the crime she had committed against the one she had loved, when she still had the heart to love him with.

As soon as I caught her scent I growled. I leaped out from the grasses and began running, following her. I finally found her. So many thoughts ran through my mind and they all clashed together. I didn't know what to do except one thing. Catch her. I refused to let her slip off again. Currently, my mind saught her blood, and that was all that I could think about as my paws dug into the ground, pushing me closer and closer towards her. I saw a flash of black and sped up, knowing I had her. Now I could clearly see that black pelt, running away from me. A flash of memories fluttered through my mind, remembering her running away from me after she killed my father. But not only that, it hurt my heart to see her run away from me, even though she had every right to. I will catch you! I yelled to her, getting closer and closer.

Chocolate eyes darted back as his voice reached her, echoing off nothing and everything all at the same time. It encouraged her to run faster. Before it would have made her slow down. But, pain was a horrible thing that, after enough of it, numbs not only the body but the soul inside. She wouldn't be slowing down anytime soon. Her breaths began to turn ragged. The escape had never been this hard before. She'd gotten careless, let him him come to close. Arrogance would be the beautiful she-wolf's downfall someday. But, if she had anything to say about it, not today.
Her paws pounded the ground with a wearisome, constant rhythm. Her muscles began to burn, but there was no way she was slowing down. But then came the river. A massive torrent of water flowing with speed that brought up primal instincts to avoid it. It was much too large for her to jump, and she hesitated, losing precious seconds, before leaping in.
Fighting against the current, she found herself nearly going under time and again. At the point she thought she should just give up, soft ground connected with her pads and she scrambled up on the other side. She was about to keep running when, for a moment, the cold surrounding her melted away and she looked back, the old Luci hoping that Cael would make it across, even if it meant that she'd die when he did.

I saw her hesitate at the river which brought me closer to her. She lept in and landed in the water. I saw her bob up and under in the water which made my heart lurch, not wanting her to be taken by the water's torrents. I may be wanting to kill her but I wanted to do it, and I did not want her to disappear. I wouldn't be able to take it. I growled at myself for the combating feelings in myself. I hadn't felt so much for so long. I now just wanted to go curl up and die. As the river drew close, I leaped, my haunches launching me farther then Luci had and I easily was able to grab onto the soil beneath the rushing water and draw myself out of it.
As I dragged my bod out of the water I noticed she was watching me. Whether it was to make sure I made it across or to see if I wouldn't I wasn't sure. I betted on the latter. As soon as I could, still in the water, I launched myself at her, catching her off gaurd as she was watching me. I knocked her to the ground and my paws were planted on either side of her dial. I bared my teeth at her and let loose a low growl, my eyes boring into hers, filled with hate.

For just a moment longer, she was as she used to be. Her jaw was slightly open, and her eyes wide in fear. Then the numbness took over once more, her eyes slowly glazed over and her mouth closed. She stared at him for a moment, letting her body go limp. Then, suddenly, as it seemed she was giving in, her lips snapped back into a snarl and she threw herself up in an effort to throw him off. Her breath caught in her throat for a moment, pausing the growl, before it continued once more.

The emotions that flipped through her made him.. confused. She changed quicker than he and when she threw herself against him, she knocked him off. I stood and shook my cranium and crouched low, ready to pounce at her. You killed my father. I growled. My tail twitched as the anger built in me, and now all I wanted was this femme dead. It would make life a little easier. I could go back to being a numb and bitter loner and live out my miserable life not having to worry about this vix who took everything from me.

He certainly knew how to choose his words wisely. Though she always lived with the fact she's killed the wolf, she never put names to him, never thought him as Cael's father. The reminder brought everything back. The why and how of it all. It made even her, the one who had done it, shiver.
What, would you have preferred yourself dead like I was ordered to do? Or would you be happier with them taking my life and living out your lovely life with your father 'til he died of old age?
THought she meant every word she said, it was the way that she said it that hid how she was truly feeling. It sounded sadistic, like she had truly pondered each and every option carefully, like a serial killer picks his next victim. However, she hadn't. Hadn't thought at all. It had been rash, a quick escape from making a decision that she hadn't wanted to make. And now she would have to pay the price. The devil had come to collect his toll.

My auds flickered as she spoke. I didn't know she was ordered to kill me. Though it made me pause, I still wanted her death. She had tricked me. You could have avoided it. There is always another way. I replied with a nasty tone. A growl followed and my bod lowered closer to the ground, anger rolling through me in waves. I thought that you loved me, and I let you in. My father told me not to trust you. I went against everyone and chose you. And you chose to kill my father. I continued, it ust rolling out of my mouth without control. There was too much that had built up inside me. I launched at her again, blind with emotion. I was on top of her again, and looked directly at her though it hurt. My orbs filled with anger, but it slowly ebbed away, showing what was really there. Sadness and hurt that was just tinged with anger. You lied to me. I said, my voice full of hurt and barely audible.

Only about where I was from.
She growled softly, and this time when her body relaxed, it wasn't to deceive him. Even a desperate wolf knew a trick only worked once reliably.
Why do you think I ran? It gave me a reason to avoid a choice. It wasn't a decision I made, it was simply an action to avoid making one. Killing him got you out of their reach at the same time. Young, rash things cause mistakes. That's the cold reality, Cael.
The evil glint in her eye was far from disappearing, unlike his pretense of anger. But her last statement revealed more than any of her actions now ever did. The only question now was if he would read between the lines, or if he would hardly scratch the surface on what it meant.

A deep growl emitted from my throat after her speech, my teeth bared. Instead of lunging at her though, I shoved off the ground and turned away, turning my back towards her. Whatever Lucifer. was all I said in reply. The anger was boiling again mixing with everything else and I was done with her crap for now. I expected something I would never receive. She wasn't who I thought she was. Don't let me catch you again. I growled towards her as I began walking away.

She didn't move, nor did she want to. As he walked away, she was reminded again of everything she had forced herself to never be able to have. Her eyes softened again, then closed.
I did love you. I still would, but there's not enough to live for in hatred.
It was a soft whisper, one she wasn't even sure he heard, but she got up after, slowly. If he didn't screw with her mind so much, she would never have said that, but taken the chance and ran. She wasn't the type to give in or give up. Not anymore. She used to be, though, and that's what he brought out. The old her. The Lucifer she used be, the one she had wanted to return to. She'd stopped trying along the way, just like she'd stopped trying for many things. She hadn't ruined only his life, but her own. And, unlike some, she knew she was to blame. She'd never admit it out loud, but inside she tortured her soul over and over again.
Head hanging low, eyes sad, she also turned and walked away, letting her weary paws drag in the dirt. She was finished with running. There was no point. She'd given up. She had gotten to the point where she wished for the chilled embrace of death, whether it be by his teeth or another's.
