Now that the movie part was over, Kuja could relax..not everyone agrees with it, but its overall content lay correct and 100% fathomable and understandable. It didn't take a genius a lifetime to create his basic knowledge of wolves, their history, and facts about shifting, mates, packs, roles, and duties among a pack. It was decent to watch, enough to distract Kuja from the impeding eyeballs his sister was giving, a scowl narrowed over the bridge of her nose.
I found myself staring at the ceiling by the time the lights came on; I have seen the movie too many times to care to see it another dozen more. Creed..ugh. I can't shake the fact I had to hide this from her. I wonder if she's finally no longer mad, or she's just giving me a reasonable amount of silent treatment ...
"Creed..? Did that help at all"
" Well, not really. I'm going for a walk...don't bother me. Any of you...Especially you.Kuja."
I could hear the scowl in her voice as if that comment was directed at me. This was going to take time. That much was clear. Creed's eyes began to glow a dark green tint as she stared at me, a clear sign she knew I'd be the one to follow her invade she took off...She knows me too well. Never did let her start too far without keeping a close eye.
Krux wasn't one to impose, but they had a fair share of silent conversations, so he hopped on the bandwagon hoping She would oblige, even though he had a hand in the secret for so many years."Do you mind if I come along..? Creed..? No babysitting intended. I could use a good walk. My legs are cramped from the couch.." I know my words were bored of emotion, but it was true.. I needed to stretch my legs and... She seemed to lean my way more than her brother so I could get her calm before returning home.
"Sure, whatever...but no talking. Processing everything here.." Krux could see the thought process and gears grinding in her head as they left the pack house, his jacket tight around his sides. Was all she could muster.
Her face was paler than usual. Always had been faint. But today especially, it was like her skin had omitted the sun from the sky: no sun, just clouds .. Dark grey clouds. She wasn't sick..she just...
She just wanted time alone, but it was evident that wasn't happening anytime soon. All she could think.., WHat's with everyone wanting to bomb on me...I just wanted a few minutes alone to be myself for a bit—the normal me as I remembered.
It was like someone had put a film over the sun when heading outside. It was dark and shady. Clouds rolled in shades of grey and black. Almost putrid. Nothing scared me, but standing there beneath the ominous sky made me feel very tiny and skeptical about my walk, knowing how the weather changed so drastically here in Florida. The winds were already shaking the trees for miles as far as the eyes could see. It didn't take long for Creed to decide to keep her walk-in motion, skeptical. Though glad for now, she had some company, even if it was Krux.
" You coming, dude..? I'm not going to wait all day" as soon as I spoke, I felt a broad chest frame bump my back. Krux was standing directly behind me, staring at the sky as well, eyeing the clouds like some meteorologist. Sometimes I worried about him. He seemed too far off to be a good friend of my brother, yet too strange to reconsider. He helps make up the weird factor he and my brother live by.
" Yeah, let's go. I want to get back before the sky decides to ascend on us with angry pellets of rain or hail, whichever it may be this time.m Florida can never make its mind this time of year."
" good enough for me."
And we went. Silence enveloped us both for quite a while. Walking down the path into the woods. Something about being in the middle of nowhere was comforting to me yet again terrifying because. Yes, we may be wolves. But there are other things besides us—some things bigger carrying a heavier bite than us too.
" Don't worry; nothing's going to hurt us. I'm here.." A sly smile crept onto the corner is Krux's lips. He slid an arm around my shoulder like my brother always did, I tried to push away, but the sky's darkening made the side hug all the more comforting and awkward. I didn't refuse. Just merely tapped him and coughed as if finding out about being a wolf wasn't enough.
"Ahem...you know I hate you..so don't let this go to your head..."
A chuckle. What does he find me as a damn comedian? ... " Don't worry. It won't. Your brother told me stories of how this type of weather gave you severe anxiety. Just trying to help keep you calm.."The smile faded just like that from his lips. That didn't take long. He was back to his same old stoic self once more.
Krux knew she was feeling on edge. He only was trying to help. He knew he hadn't been the best, and all of us lying to her didn't help, but he laid his bed and was slowly trying to make it with less of a burden than how she made me feel. Why do I even care what she thinks..? We've never gotten along...I hope this isn't how things start...Wolves attract company, so He could only hope this wasn't the idea he was trying to portray to her.Wolves were meant to travel in packs and pairs, he only hoped she picked that up from the movie they had watched only not too long ago before making the unideal idea of walking in a upcoming storm.
