Rain, Let the rain fall down....

[Cheese Sandwhich]

Let's go back
Back to the beginning
Back to when the earth, the sun, the stars all aligned

'Cause perfect didn't feel so perfect
Trying to fit a square into a circle
Was no life
I defy

[CHORUS:]
Let the rain fall down
And wake my dreams
Let it wash away
My sanity
'Cause I wanna feel the thunder
I wanna scream
Let the rain fall down
I'm coming clean, I'm coming clean

I'm shedding
Shedding every colour
Trying to find a pigment of truth
Beneath my skin

'Cause different
Doesn't feel so different
And going out is better
Than always staying in
Feel the wind

("Come Clean (Let the Rain Fall Down)" by Hillary Duff, lyrics from http://www.sing365.com )

As the cream fae approached her den, clouds covered the evening sky. Hints of purple, pink, and orange could be seen through the clouds. The colors soon dulled and darkened, as thunder could be heard. The femme knew another storm was coming. Vert would be coming along soon, she knew. She was around fifteen yards away from the border.

Mist yawned and streched. Night was approaching quickly. The rain poured, making a soft knocking sound on the stone den. Light green grass became moist, and a dark green color as it flopped over. The femme laid down, crossing her paws. The femme laid her head on her paws.

Rain dribbled down his coat. He wans't quite soaked, but he was wet...He was somewhere in the middle of the two. He followed Mist slowly, watching her figure disappear into the den. He wasn't running anymore, he had decided to take it is and enjoy the rain. It was quite refreshing actually. Cold droplets sliding down his flanks, hge let out a small, but happy, sigh.

His eyes gazed back behind him, he would no longer wander, well, not alone. He would stand by Mist. His promise was still strong, his silent one to make her happy, like a guardian angel would. He wanted to be that much for her, if he couldn't pull off being a good mate-which he would try his hardest to be-he would make her happy no matter what.

He came to the den and sat outside for a minute, catching raindrops on his tounge. He didn't know whether to enter or not, so he sat, raindrops on his tounge, waiting for an invitation to enter.

Mist lifted her head. Her cream maw opened, and a chuckle could be heard. Come along in, dear. the fae said, a smile coming across his maw. Her maw closed, and it became silent. Mist stood up, and trotted outside of the den. She let the raindrops fall onto her tongue, and her tail flickered in a good-mannered way. Mist smiled at the brute, before she trotted back into the den.

The cream fae laid back down, her paws crossed. Mist laid her head on her paws and yawned, showing her snow white teeth for a moment, and a little whimper came as she yawned. The femme rolled onto her side, and closed her honey colored eyes. Mist soon fell asleep.

[Echos]

Dear... The word echoed in his head. How odd to be called that now, after everything but there was something nice about it, regardless of the odd feeling it gave him. It was their den now wasn't it? How odd to be sharing it with someoen, but how ncie too. He stayed outside for a little while longer, watching her fall asleep.

Then he stepped in and shook himself dry. Once he was dry enough eh lay down next to her, not that tired but he pressed his flank onto her's. Her warmth made him smile and he pressed against her a bit more. He could feel her breath, he could feel every little hair rise and then fall. He placed his head down over her side and smiled. He would give up wnadering anyday to be with Mist.

Mist's tail tucked tightly agaisnt her side across from Vertigo. Her laid laid on her paws still, and her gentle breathing could be heard. The cream fae opened her eyes up around three o'clock AM. She yawned and her honey colored eyes looked around. She felt Vert's head on her side and she smiled. He laid next to her side, and she watched him sleep for a moment.

Mist laid her head back onto her paws and looked around a bit. Her tail gently swiped agaisnt the rocky den's floor. She yawned and closed her eyes, before she fell back asleep at exactly three fourty five AM. The femme's dreams were pleasant.

[Echos]

Five o'clock. Vert got up and stretched, sunny spilt down outside the den and he quietly wlaked outside, watching Mist sleep for a bit. He ran around the whole territory then, wind on his wild and a smile on his face. Freedom! He sprinted around but then stopped on his second lap. Sun illuminating his pelt he sighed and hung his head. What if Mist had woken? What if he had worried her? Slumped head he crept back into the cave.

Five thrity. Vert looked outside. He had seated himself inside teh cave but right at the end so he could peer outside when he pleased. Every second minute or so he cast a glance back at Mist to see how she was. She looked peaceful as she slept so Vert was put at ease. Sun rippled down adn splashed the den, Vert just smiled watching the thin grass blades sway softly in the cool fall breeze.

Mist opened her honey colored eyes. The femme smiled at Vert, noticing him instantly near the front of the den. She yawned and stood up. Mist stretched and yawned again. The fae looked at Vert. Good morning. she said, being able to tell it was around five fourty. Sun streamed through a crack in the side of the den. The femme nodded to the brute as she trotted out of the den.

She went down to a creek and dipped her muzzle into the cold, refreshing water. Water dripped from her maw and she closed her muzzle and lifted her head. The cream fae then went over to scanning the borders. She walked along the borders, alert for anything. A cold breeze ruffled her fur, and the ground was damp and covered with leaves.

[Echos]

He followed after her quietly, the small breeze ruffling his coat slightly. He wondered how soon until winter came, until the snow blew in. He would have to hunt soon, the thought of food make his stomach growl, but only a faint whisper. He wasn't in dire need of food, not yet. He watched her survey their borders, he woudln't say he had already done that. In a matter of minutes things could change. So perhaps something had happened.

He walked to her side and took a small breath of the crisp air. "It's peaceful here," He commented, "Nice though." He added reassuringly. He did like, just the two of them. But there were other packs out there and he wondered...

What was going on there?

[Cheese Sandwhich]

Yes, it is... said Mist, sighing peacefully. Winter had now come, and clouds covered the ground. Snow gently fell, falling into her coat.

-One Week Later-

Mist smiled and walked over to Vert. Hey! Vert... she said, her voice softening and getting quiet when she said Vert. Vert? she asked, looking into his eyes. Would you like pups? the cream colored fae asked him.

Mist held her breath silently, laying her head agaisnt Vert's chest. She spoke softly. I love you. she said, with a small smile. Mist really did love Vert.

[Echos]

He blinked. Pups. Well...He had never thought of himself as being a father, but if Mist wanted them, and it seemed she did...And this was the time when mating impluses were highest-not that he dabbled in them. It would be proper, to have pups, seeing they were the alphas..and it might be nice...

He gave her a small half smile and a quick nod. Vert nuzzled her softly. "Whenever you're ready," He whispered, he didn't care if it was now or next winter or two winters after that, he'd wait until she was ready.
