<p style="text-align: center;">All those dark cold nights where The Wind's cool breeze just feels like a slap in the face. But ever since she lost The Wind that's how it felt to her. Taunting and teasing and reminding Spade of all she had. All she has sacrificed and no one knew.

<p style="text-align: center;">All those dark cold nights where The Wind's cool breeze just feels like a slap in the face. But ever since she lost The Wind that's how it felt to her. Taunting and teasing and reminding Spade of all she had. All she has sacrificed and no one knew. Everyone assumed that the queen and king's eldest daughter with all her impulsive and temperamental ways had surely done something wrong to become forsaken. Even now. All these years later, as she walked with Lily. It welcomed her sister but shunned her. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">And yet, it somehow didn't bother her.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Not anymore because admittedly it took much getting used to. Learning to be tethered to the ground when you once knew the sky so fondly was like becoming a baby once more and learning the basics of this life. Spade wore her tether well. Better than any forsaken before her and maybe even better than those who have yet to lose The Wind. This heaviness. This permanent gravity she learned to wield came with some advantages, if only to her. It allowed her the freedom to do anything and everything to free herself and her family from her ex-mate's pack. By any means necessary.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://64.media.tumblr.com/6fd8ede487b6ca1c4feca1413bc14197/tumblr_pkgrydmCyL1w7zrs9o2_400.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/6fd8ede487b6ca1c4feca1413bc14197/tumblr_pkgrydmCyL1w7zrs9o2_400.gif?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="200" class="align-right"/></a>And so, when the moon set so did Luna. While Spade came rising from the dog pile of bodies with ascending Sun. Except the moon rose once more, Luna didn't come with it, and the sun never set with Spade. "No." Spade said sternly as if there would be no negotiations on the matter when asked to share what Lily had missed. Lily saw the birth of Spade. Saw her snap. She saw the burning rage in her golden eyes. No one could stop her. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">And soon everyone's screams just blended. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">So it didn't even matter if they were family begging her to come back to her senses or the enemy pack begging for their lives. What led to that beyond what Lily already knew is something Spade couldn't talk about. Because if she did she'd snap again. And truth be told their siblings who experienced it with her were both traumized and scared. So it remained in the dark. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"I asked you first." Spade intertwined her hands behind her back and looked toward where she was walking. She looked calm. Then again she always looked calm nowadays with only flashes of faint emotions expressing across her face before fading back to her phlegmatic state. She hardly lost her temper... Unless with Devon due to their... Unique... Predicament, nowadays, she often handled things quite civil compared to her teenage self or when Spade was first born. But there were moments. Moments where civility failed. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">And in those moments, Spade never hesitated. </p>

No she just considered herself being a good sister, she would do what she needed to, to keep their family together the best she could. The Twins would be the hardest to keep together, a future of uncertainty laid out for them all. One thing she was sure of was that she would be there for any of them as long as they wished for it. They were all different even Lily had been touched by darkness, something she knew they all tried to shield her from. <br/><br/> When Luna pulled herself from Lily’s hold she felt a gentle frown touch her lips at her words. “I know.” She said with a sigh as she started to follow her again, once she pulled away from her. She had so many feelings lately when it came to everything that had happened. She just tried to not let it touch her face or let Luna see her affected, she didn’t need Luna taking on the weight of her sins. She didn’t want to lose anyone else they loved either. Her mind drifted to Hawk, was he even alive? She wondered to herself. It had been so long since they last saw each other.<br/><br/> <img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/08ab481192882b70d7847f678ec50d68/tumblr_inline_opmhmefcoZ1t526rx_250.gif" class="align-left"/>Lily, walking in silence with her sister, was lost in her own thoughts of what Hawk was doing in that moment. If he had found another and wouldn’t return back to her. Her words yanked her out of her sad daydreaming state, with wind twisting in the ends of her hair as Luna mentioned the wind saving her. She gave a huff for a moment on what parts to tell Moonpie, and what to keep to herself in her time away. She had been to more than one place, had to heal her relationship with the wind, with herself. She had to find herself. What to tell. “A lot happened. Highlight of it all was the brief moment I made Vega Sanguine's friend uncomfortable by just showing up and being my erratic self.”<br/><br/> Lily laughed slightly remembering how he stiffened up when she took in his scent. “Sanguines don’t seem to be a fan of touch from what I can tell.” She mumbled the last part even though that part of her journey ended with too much blood shed. Should she mention all of that to Luna? She opened up her mouth to go on about everything when Luna spoke of her not being told of what happened while she was away. “Tell me what happened while I was gone. I feel that needs to be shared so I can understand what happened.” Her voice expressed she didn’t plan on letting this go now that Luna had started to open that can of worms.</div>

<p style="text-align: center;">Physical contact was a trigger. Or at least it used to be. Luna was... Getting better with it. Becoming familiar with as she once was. And yet still it felt so foreign to her when the innocence and warmth of certain touches from certain people crawled across her skin.

<p style="text-align: center;">Physical contact was a trigger. Or at least it used to be. Luna was... Getting better with it. Becoming familiar with as she once was. And yet still it felt so foreign to her when the innocence and warmth of certain touches from certain people crawled across her skin. Lily's voice helped pull Luna away from this weird feeling she was experiencing. But her words didn't. When Luna fully registered them. For the first time since Lily found her way back to the pack, Luna was seeing that darkness. The one she hoped wasn't there but feared that it was. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://64.media.tumblr.com/a965132d816aa91b0e3713d7e94a3025/tumblr_inline_pd14mpHgx21ro4fjb_250.gifv" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/a965132d816aa91b0e3713d7e94a3025/tumblr_inline_pd14mpHgx21ro4fjb_250.gifv?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="200" class="align-right"/></a>And so, she slipped her arm out of Lily's. Holding her for a second as she stared down at that physical contact. "I don't hesitate." she let her go and kept walking. She didn't mean her words as a good thing. Sometimes a second thought or hesitation was needed. But so often in her life, she couldn't afford those moments. Or else someone she loves dies. She would do what she needed to keep the people she loved alive. Even if they didn't love her back. Even if they hated her in the end. At least they were alive to hate. Love. And so forth. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Luna walked silently. Moreso focused on following the vague direction she was given. And following her sense of smell. But being honest it had been so long since she'd seen anyone from this pack alive that the only scent she could fully remember from them was that of their blood. And so, a flash banged through her mind. Like a chaotic bat rattling around a cage. Yet, rather than let herself succumb to her dark memories she sighed them away. "You never did share what you happened during the years you were away from the pack when The Wind saved you." she glanced over her shoulder at her. </p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Watching her sister get lost in her thoughts was not an uncommon site for her. She always just sat quietly and watched her unless she had something to say. She wasn’t as bubbly as she had once been before being taken by her ex-mates pack. They had been through the ringer together but she also wouldn’t have wanted Luna to go through everything alone. She rather be there on the worst of days with Luna then the best of days without her. She just wished she could…</span></p>

She wasn’t as bubbly as she had once been before being taken by her ex-mates pack. They had been through the ringer together but she also wouldn’t have wanted Luna to go through everything alone. She rather be there on the worst of days with Luna then the best of days without her. She just wished she could make Luna understand no of it was her fault in the end. Yet she was so stubborn that she would never believe her.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://thumbs.gfycat.com/AgileUnequaledDuiker-size_restricted.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://thumbs.gfycat.com/AgileUnequaledDuiker-size_restricted.gif?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="300" class="align-left"/></a>As Luna glared at her she kept her eyes locked with hers, unlike others who would look away from her immediately. They had both changed since that day, there was no denying that. But they would always be sisters. Seeing her sister wave her hand dismissively let her breath out a sigh of relief before folding her hands together. She felt better knowing that her sister would be going alone. Moving back to check on those around handing out the plates of breakfast. Moving to settle back in the shade as she stared at the trees thinking of Hawk for a moment.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Though being lost in her thoughts were only brief as the bag was launched at her. Lily reflexes helped her catch it. A brow raised at her sister when she heard her words a gentle smirk crossed her lips. “So you want me to be the one to go with you so if we get caught I can talk our way out of it.” She teased her sister as she slung the bag on, linking her arm with her sisters and started to walk with her letting Luna guide but showing she wasn’t going to fight her in being the one to join her.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I won’t stop you but know if you hesitate I will step in and finish it for us both.” She said in a dark voice, keeping her gaze in the distance. “After all he deserves it.” The once kind giving everyone the benefit of doubt Gypsy wasn’t there at that moment. She knew what it meant if she did such an act but in the end she didn’t care when it came to this one person.</span></p> Alone.

<p style="text-align: center;">Alone.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">That request rattled around Luna's mind on end. She sneered and her already tight jaw twitched. There was only one person who had the right to ask her such a thing.

<p style="text-align: center;">That request rattled around Luna's mind on end. She sneered and her already tight jaw twitched. There was only one person who had the right to ask her such a thing. And they had just asked. For years Lily struggled on her own. With no gypsies, or wolves or anyone to help. Just The Wind. The thought of Lilypad out in the world alone for Luna's mistakes made her heartache. Worsening when she thought of how their reunion was one of pain since they were prisoners of her ex-mates pack. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>She should've never come back.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">But in the end, Lily was stronger for it. Different? Wiser? In fact, Luna couldn't put her finger on it but Lily seemed to harbor darkness from those dark times deep in the back of her gaze. Maybe she was good at hiding it... Or maybe Luna didn't want to accept it was there. She'd only blame herself more anyway. She huffed and closed her eyes. Her body slowly unclenched as her breath released. She glared over her shoulder at her sister. Her eyes flicked down toward the soft scar on her nose. She clicked her tongue and then waved her hand dismissively as she began to walk away. This was her way of agreeing to Lily's request, however, which by now Lily would know its meaning. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://64.media.tumblr.com/7bf769a0338f203823a595b00fbf2851/tumblr_pw2v0l6ZXH1va6ybpo1_r3_400.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/7bf769a0338f203823a595b00fbf2851/tumblr_pw2v0l6ZXH1va6ybpo1_r3_400.gif?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="200" class="align-right"/></a>Luna wanted to leave right that very second and be back before noon. But in truth heading there unprepared as she was, wasn't advisable. She knew it but her anger and want for revenge were calling her to action. She took some time to pack and set her affairs in order so things would run smoothly while she was gone. And she made sure to inform Devon and his rogues as well since she was trying to be more communicative with them. This all took under half an hour and soon enough she was ready to go.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"You don't want me to go alone. Fine..."</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">She launched an extra bag she had packed at Lily. "Then you're coming with me." She didn't give her a choice or chance to argue. Honestly, if Lily decided she didn't want to go it wouldn't stop Luna from still going... She'd just grab someone else with a harsh frustrated growl and physically drag them along. "But I <strong>am</strong> killing him and if you try and stop I will make you do it!" </p> The thing they all knew as, L…tag:timeless.ning.com,2022-06-23:5164310:Comment:990082022-06-23T17:40:25.928ZDicehttps://timeless.ning.com/profile/LR

She would always be there. Holding her hand out to her. Waiting. Yet she knew that she would have to come back to the light on her own in the end.

Why were they all here if…</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“You are not.” She said as she sat up more to lean towards her sister. “You are not going alone.” She tried to reach out to make Luna look at her.

<p style="text-align: center;">The hardest part of being trapped in the dark is that when someone lets the light in to save you, you close your eyes to the pain of light. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Luna knew. She knew Lily was searching in the dark for her sister. Reaching for her hoping she would reach right back and take her hand. Let her guide her back into the light she was forsaken from. But Luna was, for now, comfortable here. In the dark, she could operate at her own will and move more freely. In the dark, she didn't have to answer for certain things she did most wouldn't approve of. In the dark, she couldn't see the violent truths she did in the light. She was hidden here.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">She was free. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">But she really wasn't. Free of expectations and formative rules. Burdened by fear of all those close to her terrified of if she'd snap again, how soon and how bad it may be this time. No one realising that despite her trauma response to the certain things they did she was overall fine. A snap like when she was deemed Spade wasn't as easy as they feared. Even when Luna was angry or handled something violently. Which were farther and fewer between than everyone assumed. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/60/79/5e/60795e61cf538606a319e804086a395a.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/60/79/5e/60795e61cf538606a319e804086a395a.gif?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="200" class="align-left"/></a>Even now as she planned out what to do this leftover who hurt her little sister she wasn't near a snap. Angry and ready to rip him to shreds? Of course but this was normal for Luna. A snap would involve failing to keep control of herself and losing her sense of when to stop and who was innocent. The burning in her eyes said it all though. And anyone looking would see that blazing rage everyone feared. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"No."</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It took her far too long to finally respond. "I'm going to find him." It was clear in her tone of voice there was no changing her mind. "And I'm going to kill him so slowly he'll regret he was ever alive, to begin with." She didn't look at Lily. She couldn't. Instead, she marched forth.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Was it too much? Was she pushing too hard? Was she being a nuisance? These all crossed her mind, and yet Lily knew that she was trying to reach a part in Luna that she didn’t want to see disappear fully. She knew Luna had to miss being her carefree loving self. Events had turned her into a cold being who was fighting a war inside of herself. She didn’t reach out for help, and it was hard for Lily to see her this way.

These all crossed her mind, and yet Lily knew that she was trying to reach a part in Luna that she didn’t want to see disappear fully. She knew Luna had to miss being her carefree loving self. Events had turned her into a cold being who was fighting a war inside of herself. She didn’t reach out for help, and it was hard for Lily to see her this way. Not being able to eloquently pull her out of a dark place was bothersome to the young wolf.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Watching her react to her touch in an animalistic way caused Lily to pull her hand back and place it on her bowl once again. Trying not to show any reaction, after all she expected the reaction. Thanks to the trauma she had been placed through. Raising another spoonful to her mouth as she ate it and watched her sister fight with what words were going to leave her mouth next. Confusion crossed her face for a moment before she understood.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://64.media.tumblr.com/26c7e3a76ab8844ad7e17c5200feabcb/tumblr_inline_nu5na5TKGW1qlt39u_250.gifv" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/26c7e3a76ab8844ad7e17c5200feabcb/tumblr_inline_nu5na5TKGW1qlt39u_250.gifv?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="200" class="align-right"/></a>Swallowing the lump of food before placing her half eaten bowl next to Luna’s. Peering over the Pack and Rogues. “And do you know where they are?” She asked simply as she moved to raise and stand beside her sister. The peace that was happening in camp at that moment was nice but now with this new information she wondered what Luna's true intentions were now.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Are we going to pay them a visit?” She finally asked before turning her gaze to her sister. She wondered if her sister could see the scar on her nose. If it was fueling some part of her rage deep down.</span></p> Silence filled the tent and s…tag:timeless.ning.com,2021-10-15:5164310:Comment:967342021-10-15T05:26:53.808ZSpade - Councilhttps://timeless.ning.com/profile/Spade
<p style="text-align: center;">Silence filled the tent and sat on their shoulders from the weight of it. Luna just sat there a while staring at the half-eaten food in her bowl. Swishing the remains from side to side. A million thoughts swirling around her head and a million words left unsaid. Dancing at the tip of her tongue which remained trapped behind her clenched teeth. She put her bowl down before she did something she'd regret later. </p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Silence filled the tent and sat on their shoulders from the weight of it. Luna just sat there a while staring at the half-eaten food in her bowl. Swishing the remains from side to side. A million thoughts swirling around her head and a million words left unsaid. Dancing at the tip of her tongue which remained trapped behind her clenched teeth. She put her bowl down before she did something she'd regret later. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Lily was joking. She knew that of course but she despised herself for letting herself become so associated with violence. Anger, sure, but most Lupines are angry and known to be angry. Anger however doesn't always equate to violence. Unless of course, you have Luna's luck. Which was bad. She gave her sister a tight insincere smile as she brushed her hands off on her thighs. If her conversations throughout the rest of the day were all like this she'd snap, because no one realised violence for her was only a trauma response. Or that the topic of her being violent was a small trigger that was mentioned enough to add up and chip away at the shield she'd built against it. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">One day it would be one too many and Luna wasn't ready to break and lose herself to Spade again. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It was bad enough she had to live with the name. Taking its reputation and building something she could be proud of. Using it to protect those she cared about and those who had no one else. Though it was all at her own expense. She really didn't know how to reply to Lily or where to take the conversation so she found it best to just get up and leave. Not to be rude but clearing her head with some fresh air would certainly help. She was stopped short by one of her pack members just she was about to make it out of the tent. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://64.media.tumblr.com/44f1cc9830771fb418d444a4bb429df4/tumblr_ou2kdlm1dW1u7dw63o1_r1_500.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/44f1cc9830771fb418d444a4bb429df4/tumblr_ou2kdlm1dW1u7dw63o1_r1_500.gif?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="200" class="align-left"/></a>She had thought it was perfect timing. Someone needing her before her sister could speak another word or say she's coming with her. However when she heard the message the wolf had she froze and went numb. Her face paling the more she heard. It wasn't until a gentle touch landed on her shoulder that she was thrown from this terrifying trance she was caught in. Instantly, pulling away harshly with an animalistic growl as she showed off her fangs. Only to realise it was just Lily. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Touch was another trauma response. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">She was trying so hard to get past that though. Especially since most of her siblings were physical and she could see the emotional pain she caused them every time they hesitated to reach for her or every time she defensively pulled away. That silence fell on them again as Luna dismissed the messenger as the weight of the quiet brought her head down. She rubbed her face and groaned into her hands. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"They're not all dead." </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It was all she said at first as she came to stand beside Lily and peered out at her pack and the rogues camping together in peace. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"My ex-mate's pack. They're not all dead and their new alpha... Is the one that broke your nose."</p> As Luna caught her finger she…tag:timeless.ning.com,2021-07-02:5164310:Comment:948942021-07-02T22:01:32.381ZDicehttps://timeless.ning.com/profile/LR
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As Luna caught her finger she didn’t fight it, As it wasn’t hard enough to cause concern. Knowing her sister would never hurt her on purpose. So the moment she was freed she pulled her hand back and moved to get a bowl of food for herself and her sister. She watched her sister grumble and huff. Mentally she was sad because Luna used to be different. Yet she would never not love her sister. She wanted to always be by Luna's side.…</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Knowing her sister well enough to know not to push more than asking the question. She watched the cogs turn in her mind as she took a long sip of the stew. Quiet and watching. Watching as she always did. The colors that swirled along the emotions of her sister's face. It always caused her heart to ache. Her face was soft, staring at the strong woman in front of her.</span></p>

Mixed emotions are okay to have.” She said softly as she shifted to stare at the fire and watched the swirls of oranges, yellows, reds and amber dance together. “Do you want to stay married?” She asked as she moved the stick to poke it. “If mama would allow you to dissolve the marriage would you? Or has the human gained your affection?”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She let her dark gaze drift back to her sister knowing that she herself had secrets from Luna and their family. Her eyes went back to the fire to think of Hawk even though she knew she shouldn't. She wondered when the wind was going to take her back to him. She was mad he left that night after bringing her back hurt. When it was all an accident. “If he wasn’t a good man we would have eaten him by now.” She said with an easy laugh as she poked at the fire.</span></p>
