An Instinct

Gimme Gimme Love

Legoshi crouched to the floor with his face in his hands. On the brink of sobbing in so much pain. He felt his heart beating as fast as the memories he had with his mom.

Letting a few stray tears drop into his large lanky hands. He misses the little hole he uses to love to look through. The beautiful gray wolf that hid behind it.

The wolf's eyes met a piercing gaze. A gaze that held strong and brave. But almost in pain. All of the hardships of being a leader. Yes, indeed. It was 

"Louis"

The deer slightly crouched down and whispered in the wolf's ear.

Legoshi's ear perked up when he heard

"Everyone's looking for someone to hold but I can't let you go"
