My dreams were interupted by a wet nose. Kale's nose to be exact. Pushing into m fur, tickling my cheek. I moaned and stirred, not wanting to wake. As I felt him leave I yawned and blinked open my eyes. I yipped softly and looked at him with a shy smile. Good morning. What happened?

.: c r e m o r :.

I grinned at him and went into a play bow, not taking my eyes of him. I darted and danced away from his atempts to tag me, but after a while he succeeded. I growled playfully and launched myself at him with flailing paws, careful not to hurt him. I pinned him on the soft snow and grinned with goofiness.

Kale sighed as the question he had been expecting filled the cave. He turned around and looked at Shila. "It was confusing... I... I ran into Sierra. I wanted to work things out with her... I wanted to stop fighting. It was going well until she hugged me... It was a friendly gesture but... but it brought me back to that day. The nightmare where she killed you, the fear you weren't okay, the anxiety, the emptiness that I had felt, Sierra stalking me, her cold gaze staring hatefully at me, my fear she was about to hurt me and finally my teeth sinking into her flesh. I had always pretended it was anger that had driven me that day but no, it was fear. Terror she was going to hurt me or hurt those I love. I was trembling as I shouted at her not to touch me and watched her stalk away." Kale explained. "I'm afraid of her, Shila. I don't know how our fight can end when whenever I see her I fear she'll hurt me. I... I know it's irrational but... but... I don't know what to do. I can't stop picturing her hatred filled eyes that day that I attacked her. I can't stop picturing her killing you... sinking her teeth into your neck. I just want the fight to end already but it seems like it never will. It seems like for the rest of my life I'm going to be terrified of her." His emotions spilled out of his mouth as he sat down beside Shila.

I sat and listened as he spoke, my eyes wide and sorrowful. I nodded slowly, whimpering ever so softly. I pressed up against him and sighed. I understand how you feel Kale. I get it. She ruined our lives. She may not see it that way, but she did, didn't she? You tried to make up, but she went slightly too far. Not every dog likes hugs. I mean, that's so human. It's not your fault. It's the nightmares. If Sierra ever attacked me I would win. I would always win. I'll tell you why? You Kale. I would see your face. All the memories would flood back and I would enjoy beating her. But I would leave her alive, to live every day in shame. Shame for breaking the team. I would neverlet her forget that. I said, anger slowly rising in my chest. I sighed and pushed it down, pushed it away. I licked his cheek. I love you.

(Thinking about dropping Sierra as a character...)

Sierra

Sierra steadily awoke from her light sleep. She crawled out, still a little sleepily. Her drowsy silver and white body slipped out from under the pine tree that she had been sleeping under, and she slipped down towards the running stream. She had to be careful not to fall in, but after several awkward positions, she finally got into one that was more... suitable for her, and dipped her head to drink. She sat down, yet she was hunched over like some kind of zombie. After she had her fill, she wiped her muzzle by rubbing it against her chest and looked around. Everything in this part of the forest was ever so silent all the time, and she couldn't help but imagine the horrible things lurking just beyond the shadows.

"She didn't ruin my life, I still have you. And until the day one of us dies we will always have each other, and so long as we have each other our life isn't ruined." Kale nuzzled her and smiled warmly. Why did it seem that Shila always understood how he felt when nobody else did? Shila was the only one he truly felt comfortable talking with about what had happened because of this, because of her understanding. "And if it ever is beyond nightmares I'd help you, I'd make sure you were alright. I would never loose you." He added softly.

(Why are considering dropping her? It's nothing personal or anything how Kale is acting towards Sierra, it's nothing more then his fear. An irrational fear. He doesn't hate her or anything, his fear is taking over him. Kale's quite a shy dog so I try to make his actions fit around that, at first he was afraid of being around other dogs, then afraid of Sierra and then afraid of Breeze. It's nothing personal. Ah, I spend far too much time making sure everything my charries do fits with their personality and the situation they are in...)

I sighed. I didn't hate Sierra. I was just afraid. For Kale. For the team. For her. For... me. I just hadn't admitted it to myself. I wanted to hate her, but I couldn't. She didn't mean it. I sighed and laid down, lost in thoughts.

Kale licked Shila softly behind the ear. "Would you like to go find where the rest of the team is?" He asked, although he knew the team was all scattered. But he wanted to distract from this hard topic of Sierra.

(I mean... the words you guys use just kinda... bugs me I guess. Like when Shila said that Sierra ruined their lives... I felt all bad and stuff.)

Sierra jumped over the creek, her paws clumsily slipping across the surface as she lazily looked around. Her blue eyes were careless, for she was ever so tired, although she had just gotten done with a nap. She flicked her tail and tasted the air for any scents, failed, and then went back to relaxing. She laid on the banks of the rather wide river, for the jump had worn her out completely. She needed to save her energy, rather than use it all at once. Yet, that was just one of the many things that Sierra needed to learn.

(I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel bad. It's hard to RP like this... with the charries fighting. Maybe Shila should go out and explain what Kale is feeling?? Like I said, I didn't mean to make you feel bad... I'm sorry. )

Axel bent upward and touched his nose to hers. "Tag…" He murmured, his eyes locking with hers. Axel's heart begain to beat in a funny way. He had never felt this with Breeze.
