MILA
It felt like I had been running for hours.
I needed to a rest. But I didn't know what direction I was heading in. I just needed to run.
I must have been running for over an hour as I felt my muscles in my legs tighten. My breathing become hard. I slowed my pace and went for a walk, catching my breath to make sure I could take in what was around me.
But I know where I am.
I know this place, but how do I know it?
I inch more through the forest and stumble across a cabin. I come to a complete holt.
I take in the sight before me. This place is the place I know. This is where I stayed with my mother. It has bushes that are overgrown all around the cabin and even through the steps; the windows have cobwebs in them as the windows themselves look terrible and stained. It looks like no one came back here ever since the whole rogue attack happened.
I let out a sigh and head into the cabin, taking each step at a time. I run hands over the handrail as I take the steps. Everything smells damp and feels worn.
I open the front brown door and head inside.
No one has been here. Everything before me remained exactly as it had been left. No food out, tidy kitchen except the cobwebs were all around the furniture and loads of dust. The spiders must have taken over this place now. There were toys all around; I walk through till I come across a photo on the wall that was hanging up, there's so much dust on it. I wipe away the dust with my T-shirt to reveal a picture of me and my mother. She looked so beautiful. The smile on her face always made me feel like I was at home. I feel some tears escaping my eyes; I take the photo out of the frame and place the photo in the back pocket of my jeans.
I carry on looking around the cabin, noticing all the toys, the furniture and even some clothes around the place. I walk into the room I loved the most; I opened the door to my mother's bedroom. I look around. It looked the same as if she had never left.
I notice another photo frame on the bedside table of myself, my mother, and Gamma Richard. The photo was on his birthday; he has some cake on his face with me and mum laughing on either side of him. I also took out the photo to put in my back pocket. I have nothing of either of them. I miss them so much. I sit on the bed and just let the tears wash over me.
I drop the block on Sapphire and I can feel her stir inside. She takes a while to look around and sense where we are.
"It hasn't changed since you were here last," she says softly.
I say nothing, as I'm still feeling all the emotions of everything.
"Mila, please talk to me?" She says softly.
"You promised Sapphire," I say with the sadness that escapes me from all I had lost.
She says nothing, even though I can sense her close by. She knows I have had enough of everything. She stays still, looking through my eyes and lays down with her head resting on her paws.
"I know, Mila, I'm sorry," she says with a hint of defeat in her voice but also concern.
"I'm sorry I made you feel you couldn't trust me," she said.
"Sapphire, we are supposed to be as one. If my wolf has something to say or needs answers too, tell me. It makes me feel stupid, especially in front of Emily," I say and sigh. "You want our mate, don't you?"
I feel her purr in my head at the mention of our mate.
"I do, Mila, but you are more important than them. I won't go to mate till we are both ready and I mean not until you are ready Mila," she says with her tail wagging.
