Prince of Wolves

h u s h

he brings me to the castle.

it is cold even with him.

i know what i need to do.

i need my maid.

she would believe me, no matter what.

she would bring me the right wear for living with wolves.

i lead the prince to my secret entrance.

I had made this with my little sister.

before she was killed.

by wolves.

I shudder.

he whines.

"hush." i tell him.

he whines again.

"hush."

his ears are flat against his head.

"hush." i repeat.

he quivers beneath my hands.

then i let go.

i squeeze through the tunnel.

i have grown.

it has not.

then, i'm inside.

home.
