sharing different heartbeats - Rexanna - 11-04-2015 and you, you knew the hand of the devil. and you, you kept us awake with wolf’s teeth.
Blood. So much blood, bruises, and heartache. Again. I hadn’t yet felt like cleaning off my golden pelt from the events that had unraveled at the Isles. Though the swim back had managed to clean off part of my chest, running blood down along the tops of my legs as I made it to the water’s edge. Though, by now, the blood had dried. A thick dark coating on my fur that stuck it up in random directions. But this blood wasn’t my blood. It was Tembovu’s. And the thought of that name made me want to shrivel up forever. I was saddened by the events that happened, but there was nothing I could do. Both creatures I had confessed a love for were gone. Perhaps forever. And with that, I was gone too. I didn’t even want to wash off the blood. The coloring matched my bruised face as I passed through the Frostbreathe Steppe. Making my way back home, I began to feel the chill of the Basin air. Snow amid the Tallsun sun that had been burning and scorching at the Isles. It had been a long trip, emotionally and physically. And with that I felt the need to rest. I scoured my surroundings in the hopes of finding a cave, but with no luck. I figured if I continued on then maybe something would come my way. Even if it didn’t and I were to freeze to death here, I wouldn’t mind. But as I passed over a small hill, I spotted a darkened cave in the distance. I quickly made my way to it, walking within it and shaking off the snow that had gathered along my pelt. It was dark outside. The sun was nearly done setting and wit that, the chill was even more intent. I shivered lightly, my breath slightly visible as I walked in the cave further. It was large, dark, but large. It would be a good place to call it a night. Leaning up against a chilly cave wall, I closed my eyes for a few moments but did not sleep. Instead, my head swam with all the recent events. Many of which were troubling. "Talk?" @Caleb RE: sharing different heartbeats - Caleb - 11-12-2015 She was dusted with gold, the same way he was dusted cold. By her side was little but snow, yet at his, a beast in tow. The titan slithered near, her body said "come hither," and he was eager to oblige. Pristine and unpropaned, whereas he was dotted with the scars of physical assaults. As he neared the cave, his ears slipped forwards, he was eager to see her, as eager as nature is to entropy. His heart beat quickly as he neared, his mind clouded with too many thoughts. As his dark body slipped into the cave with hers, he said one thing. This one thing could be interpreted however the mare wished, but Caleb knew exactly what it meant. "It's all about love, Rex." His voice was quiet and low. "Us horses, we are either in love, wishing to be in love, or recovering from it." He paused now, eyes falling into her crowned head. She is beautiful. "I'm not sure if you're in love with Tembovu or not, nor do I have any idea as to why you would be..." Caleb was opening up, perhaps that cold wall was crumbling. "But I hope you're not." Could he say he was in love with her? No, he would not say I love you tonight, if ever. He could not physically bring himself to say those words. "We don't always fall in love with those that are most suited for us," He said, a vague reference to something. "Rexanna, I found a piece of myself when I met you. I didn't even know it was missing in the first place." Henrietta had slipped away, probably due to a mental command heeded by Caleb through their bond. Caleb is a confused man, constantly lost in a strange shuffle between cold and heated, black and white, anger and placidity. He is only fragments of what could've been, slivers of a masterpiece. Caleb is a granite statue slain by time. "I want to start over with you." The dark brute had opened up, greater then he had with anyone else. He didn't want to run away anymore, he wanted to stay and to fight for her. He wanted to kick Tembovu's ass. Caleb had always thought he was better for for Rex, even if that wasn't exactly true, it feels so right to the brute to think it. @Rexanna RE: sharing different heartbeats - Rexanna - 11-16-2015 and you, you knew the hand of the devil. and you, you kept us awake with wolf’s teeth.
I shivered gently, a small quiver rolling down my spine with the force of what seemed like a tsunami. Both from the cold and from the emotional trauma I felt that I was going through. My golden cream pelt, speckled with snow, dusted with blood, pelted with bruises. I faced inside the cave, blue eyes closed gently, hoping just to freeze in the Steppe without a single soul to miss me. But before any such thing could happen, I heard him. A voice I hadn’t heard in what seemed like an eternity. I had tried to apologize to him, for all the things that I had done. Nothing had worked, so why was he even here? ‘It’s all about love, Rex.’ Shivering again, I stood still. Like a statue. Eyes opened, staring straight at the frozen solid stone. His voice continued, his words almost perfectly sweeping up my shattered soul that lie before him on the ground. He was right, we were just searching for love. Bumbling around like idiots, living, loving, and losing. Growing and writhing in pain all the same. I turned to face him and his bright blue eyes fell into mine gently, hopeful, and loving. He spoke of Tembovu and just at the mention of his name I flinched. He hoped I wasn’t and I only nodded to him, unsure if I felt like ever loving again. The whole thought of it just made my heart bleed. I blinked slowly to him, taking in every ounce of the words he said. I stepped toward him, close to the point where I reached out for him. Trembling and shivering, wishing to press my cheek into his chest. Wishing to feel his feathers tickle my nose. Wishing to forget about everything. “I want to start over too, Caleb.” I whispered to him. Eyes closing, his body shadowing me from the reflective light off the snow, hiding the blood and bruising. Hiding the broken soul within me. I knew part of me still loved Tembovu, but whether or not he would ever love me back was another story. He was having a child with someone else. I had slept with him after the fact and he never told me. I was shattered. Shattered to the point I wasn’t even sure if Caleb would be able to fix me.

I pulled away for what seemed like an eternity. The heat radiating off of his ebony coat, his behemoth self shielding me away from the outside world. It was like time was slowing and coming to a gentle stop with the two of us starting over. Memories of the first time we had met flushed into my mind but as he said that he missed me all the time my heart shuddered slightly. Tembovu began to flush from my mind ever so swiftly. If he were to have a child with another, then so be it. Yes, I was upset at it happening, but there was nothing more that I could do other than move on. It appeared as though Caleb was willing to move on as well and perhaps we could step off on a new step into the world together. What if I didn’t have to be alone through this? He had opened up so much in the darkness of the cave, in the few moments he had even been there. I shivered gently, not a racking one this time. One from what could be considered to be the start of happiness. The start of a new life, one where I could stop hurting Tembovu and he could stop hurting me, in turn. “I am Caleb, it is nice to meet you.” Swiftly, like an eagle stealing a fish from the river, my memories of our first encounter were gone. This is the part I needed to remember, and I would. I dipped my crowned head to him, my chains sliding gently and effortlessly over my bruised face in the motion, lifeless blue eyes hiding behind my eyelashes slowly glinting with a light. A new light. One ignited by the hybrid that stood before me. I smiled to him, genuinely. Raising my head back to place, pieces of my white and ashen mane drifting over my shoulder effortlessly. “Hello Caleb. I am Rexanna. It’s a pleasure.” I said gently, reaching out to brush my nose to his in a gentle greeting. My golden coat speckled with cream was a stark contrast to the beast of the night that had come to my rescue. “I don’t suppose I could ask what brings you out here in such a freezing night?” I questioned gently. Knowing full well that I was the reason he had come. I always was the reason. But for this time I wasn’t complaining. He was no longer the brooding character of my past that haunted my shadows before I had confessed my love for Tembovu to him. I began to wonder if he could be the one for me. The one that perhaps wouldn’t end up having a child with someone else while I believed our relationship had grown strong. It was going to be an adventure. He was younger than I, naïve in ways that I was now more mature. But we each had our childish ways. He could throw his childish tantrums and I could still believe in a life full of happiness and love. If this was a fairytale, he was the prince that came for the damsel in distress. He, the prince shrouded in black – and I, the damsel shrouded in gold and trapped in a tower of my own mind. "Talk?" @Caleb <33333333 RE: sharing different heartbeats - Caleb - 11-24-2015
@Rexanna i've literally been writing and re-writing this for four days RE: sharing different heartbeats - Rexanna - 11-30-2015 and you, you knew the hand of the devil. and you, you kept us awake with wolf’s teeth.
“You brought me here.” I shivered again, wishing that with all the emotions that flooded my mind that I could just run to him and melt within him. Golds and blacks mixing into a pool of one. But I held my movements, held my tongue, refrained from speaking until he was finished. I didn’t know exactly which way this was going, but he was here and willing to listen to me. And before when I wanted to tell him the reason why I had seemingly chosen Tembovu – he pushed me away. This time it was different. This time he came for me. My head pulsed lightly with the bruising on my face as I raised an eyebrow slightly, curious when he said my name. My head tilting slightly in my curiosity, golden chains sliding over the bruising like a snake. He said I was magnificent and he smiled. I returned the smile and only nodded slightly. “You’re quite the tall, dark, and handsome one – yourself.” I admitted to him, beaming to him. Forgetting all the past events that haunted me into this cave. He was here. A black flame to ignite my happiness once more. At least, so I hoped. He moved closer to me and he noticed the bruising. I began to shy away slightly when he asked me if I was okay before pushing my head out to him, a quiet sigh escaping my partially open lips. “Not exactly alright, but surviving.” I admitted to the ebony stag. Shrugging slightly, I turned my eyes to the outside of the cave where the snow fell slightly stronger now. But I noticed a movement from him, his nose outstretching to mine and when my eyes fell upon his own, I noticed his forelock had slid off and I just smiled gently to him, pressing my nose to his briefly. “Don’t worry about me, though. I did this to myself. I thought it would be a great idea to ram my face into a giant Tiger god – thing. Not my smartest move, I’ll tell you that.” I nodded, agreeing with what I was saying before I recoiled into myself slightly again. Feeling awkward and slightly ashamed, remembering the fight and the events that occurred afterwards. I averted my gaze once again and looked to the stone floor before taking a deep breath. “I missed you.” "Talk?" @Caleb , I DUNNO WHAT HAPPENED HERE. Random bipolarism I guess. xD |
