I move ever slowly
to the fence and put my nose to the air. I can smell it but I had to be sure. I
lost my sibling here once before and it hung on the fence for days before they
took it down. I am not going to be one like that. I am here for a purpose and I
would accomplish it with my skills. I slowly picked at the soil and removed it
aside so that it would create a passage for me to go through. I am small and it
would not be a big burrow. I can smell it and it's coming. Trust my scent to
reach the nose of it as it's in their species too to track us into the deep
forest. It caught me as I was halfway through the passage.
"Purity, why
did you come? You know you're not welcome here." The dark handsome beau of
mine was to warn me but I had to come. It's a Labrador and a fine dark one.
"Black, I had
to come. I missed you and more to it, I have news to share with you." My
dark Labrador scooped the soil around me so that I could come through the
fence. It even licked away at the soil that caught up on my white fur and
caressed my tired limbs with its loving kisses.
"Purity, I
would come as I promised but today is not the time. So tell me why you came?"
Black is ever concerned for me as there are the others it had to look out for.
They don't share our love as we do. They viewed my kind as enemies of their
blood and be killed on sight. It's a sad world we live in when the creatures of
the same build cannot be allowed to be friends. Or mates in life.
"There is another
who had come to the domain. It prowls and hunts there despite my presence but I
am a mate all alone. I am also of the age when I needed it to mate....." But
Black was to growl back at me.
"Am I not
your mate, Purity? Must you find another like the bitches here? They know not
who their mate is when in heat. I have denied myself for you. I kept myself
pure for you and you tell me that you are going to be served by another."
Black was upset but it still nuzzled me with its nose. That tells me that Black
loves me still.
"No, Black.
That is not why I am here. I am with our family...." That took Black to be
stunned by my whimpers and immediately it snuggled up close to me.
"When? And
why did you not let me know earlier?" I nuzzled back and rubbed my body
against its dark fur self. I can feel the warmth of love that is in there and I
longed for it. Black raised its head to allowed me to lick at its neck and to
its shoulder.
"At the
creeks but we rarely see each other, so I did not tell. More so, when we meet,
it's of intense passion and there is little time to whisper." Black leaned
back on the long neck and licked at my ears. An area of mine it knows I like
best.
"Tell me what
am I to do?" Black sometimes can be dense in the bigger head so I had to
guide it on.
"Come with
me. Live with me. Be wild with me. I love you."
It did not happen
as Black find comfort in me but not of security. We part that night without a
whimper as we both go back to our dens. My only regret was Black could not see
beyond its kind and sacrificed itself for real love. I raised the loved ones
when they were due, and send them off to their life's in the forest. I told
them to go far where their furs would not be seen to apart, and be brave. It's
a new world out there and one day we may all be accepted. But avoid the fences as
the ones inside are the caged ones with narrow ideals. I did have a mate
eventually but we did not consummate in our lifetime. I told the new mate, that
I am not keen and if you want me for a mate; hunt and live me, but never let me
make the same decision I had to do over the fence.
