A life that knows no bounds: Shadow Paw
Perhaps she never realized it. So long had she spent surrounded by a realm of solitude, content in her own world. Perhaps she never really knew, that their kind was meant to be together; to thrive together.Maybe it had just never occurred to her, that indeed wolves were meant to form packs, alliances, friendships and enemies. Had it really been that long? Had it really been that long since she had known what it was like to be in a working, co-existing pack? Maybe it was being in solitude for so long that had changed her, reformed her into the female she is now who, is so different from the young wolf she used to be. Years in isolation from the world have broken her down, made it impossible for her opinion on the world and others to be heard; especially here, in a place all too new to her: a place where she had only dreamt of in her mind, on those lonely nights under the sky-alone.
Her huge cold and unforgiving gray-black eyes would tell her whole story but those eyes of hers are like locked doors and impossible to open. They cannot tell you all the laughs she has had, all the tears she has shed, all those mistakes she has made that have killed so many. As much as she would want to show the world, they cannot see the pain she feels everyday, how she puts on a fake facade to manipulate others into thinking she was such a perfect, beautiful, and quite female . She can not show you her soul or her true personality for most advert their gaze from her eyes that are so chilling: pupils as black as her pelt, a dark gray surrounding the pupils which, begin to fade lighter and lighter the father from the pupil, giving her eyes an eerie illusion.
Go ahead.Stare. Stare into those gray hued eyes that where set onto her blackened face if you can handle them. Look into them and try to figure her out: her past, her memories and her soul. All locked up in those fearful eyes, not her heart or her mind, but her eyes. So little to be seen and yet so much could be said. But the thing is she will not speak of any of it. She is a closed book no longer wanting to be opened by anyway. This was just the way she is- so unusual, so beautiful, so small and lithe, shrouded in darkness protecting an eerie secret of some sort.
Long, slender, and sharp outstretched talons connected to small, dainty black paws clicked in a rhythmic way every time she took a step over the rock . Muscles tensed and quivered under the black pelt with each short, yet quick stride. Her small black cranium moved side to side as she glanced around with no fear in her frozen heart, occasionally glancing down and seeing the remnants of a once gone pack. Still, looking down, noticing all the cracks in the rock, where it was stained from food kills and seeing that no matter where she looked there was no thriving foliage; she could only guess why. Inside she laughed in humor as she pictured wolves fighting wolves and how great it must have felt, each of them trying to live on, struggling to earn food from the carcass. Of course, that was just what she imagined and most likely the farthest from the truth possible.
She halted quickly for she had run out of room to walked forwards. She was now, at the edge of a densely thick and black forest, leading off into the distance. A shiver ran up her spine as memories flooded back to her although the forest wasn't the one to bring the memories back, it was the slight sound of water in the distance. No matter how much she flailed and struggled, she could not get back to the surface, the current was too strong and she was being pulled down deeper and deeper. Her vision was clouded and the cold salty water of the winter stung every part of her body and showing no mercy. Her head shook violently from side to side, trying to erase the images of the past. That was than, this was now. Now, it was time for a new beginning. A new start on life where no one knew her- or her ways. .
Eyelids came down, covering her eyes as she let her other senses take over. The night was cool, or the warmest it could get for early Spring in this area, and the moon was was almost at its fullest height in the sky, shinning down on the path before her; casting an eerie glow. There was nothing to be heard for everything was so silent except for the rustles of leaves, the cry of some bird of prey, or some small animal running through the snow. Her jaws opened slightly and an unusual melody poured out. It would have been beautiful if it wasn't tainted with her feelings of loneliness, her fears, and death among other things. She was a twisted wolf and her name, was Shadow.
Slowly she stopped, cutting off her melody and opening her eyes once more the world. Before she had felt so carefree and alive but now, now she might as well be dead. Shadow was confused, she did not know where she was, she hadn't been paying attention. Was the land under her small paws claimed by another? Did that mean she was intruding, that she was a trespasser. A slight groan escaped the small black female as endless thoughts and possibilities crossed her mind; she was not optimistic. But no, this was a place for loners and from the scents of this place no packed claimed it. She was safe- or safe from a pack, not safe from another loner or a band of them. Oh well, danger always followed her but she'd live. No, never mind all that- this was her land now. No one else owned it but her. Anyone who entered her territory would answer to her and her alone.
Slowly her gaze drifted and she noticed a strange sight. There seemed to be the form of a bowing wolf but it seemed so unreal yet real at the same time that it sent shivers down her spine. For the longest time Shadow just sat there- staring. Maybe, she thought, it would move. Maybe that was a shadow of a wolf hiding in the shadows? However when she stepped to get closer the clouds covered the moons warm glow and with that the apparition disappeared too. She was losing it were her thoughts as she stared dumbfounded at the empty place. One day, she'd know the story behind it.
