The scene moved quickly. The wolves attacked and a rifle shot went out. The first poacher was attacked by wolves and the second taken by an arrow. The scene done, Calvin turned around and the sight shocked him. Snow was on the ground. Sierra held him close, crying. He sent Snow messages, and there was no response.
Calvin couldn't stop the tears from falling. Images raced through his head - his mother, father, Mary, Benji, and Snow. Everyone he cared about died. All he could think about was it being his fault. He should have been a better son, or a better dad. Hell, if he hadn't asked Sierra to come with him today, this wouldn't have happened.
Calvin looked at Dawn Wind as he left and sent him a message."Why did you bring me here?"
The message was laced with too many emotions.
Surprisingly, the alpha didn't chastise him. The wolf sent him an image of himself comforting Sierra. They weren't a pack per se, but he could be a support to her.
Calvin's thoughts shifted then and he turned and walked toward Sierra and Snow, dropping the bow and quiver of arrows as he did so. Stop thinking of yourself, you selfish bastard
he thought as he knelt down.
Calvin had lived a life of loss. He didn't form many close relationships anymore because of that. He wanted a closer friendship with Sierra and his defense mechanisms warned him to stay away, but something inside of him shifted. Maybe it was Dawn Wind's final image, but he knew he had to had to ignore his thoughts of self-preservation. Sierra was more important than himself right now.
He didn't say anything. He had heard all the apologies after he had lost his family. They didn't help. You could never understand the pain of someone else's loss. Each relationship was unique. One thing he did know though, is that it always hurt to cry alone. That sense of loneliness was terrible and foreboding. It haunted forever. The only thing Calvin could do for Sierra now was to cry with her.
The tears were already there. Snow was his friend too. Calvin wrapped his left arm around Snow's body and with his right he hugged Sierra as the two mourned the loss of a true friend.
