The Darker Side of Nothing.

[Wolfias]

Returning from the simple chores he'd finished quickly, entered their home humming the tune they danced to. Washing his hands before their first time dinning together, wine that was set out to breath he fills two glasses. Placing the bottle back onto the table prettily set, he awaits his love and mother of their baby girl.

Knowing after today what he swore he'd do, that was to walk her into the basement, leave her locked up inside. It would sadden his tender heart and burden his soul, but his love for his Mate and child guides him. Providing her plenty of wild game for food, she would have enough to sate a Furies strong appetite.

 

[1millionsecrets]

She placed a small plate of food in her seat. And laid two large ones before her lover. Sitting down across him she saw his expression, it one of worry. "Are you okay my Love?"

 

[Wolfias]

Smiling he takes her hands tenderly kissing each one. ''Aye love just thinking what I must honorably do.'' Releasing her delicate hands down onto the table. ''This is our first dinner together my love...and it looks and smells delicious.''

 

[1millionsecrets]

Upon hearing his words her apatite fades. She rests her hands in her lap and doesn't dare meet his gaze.

 

[Wolfias]

''I'm sorry I shouldn't have said anything till you told me when It's time.'' Hanging his head in shame with a sigh, and just sat picking the food having lost his appetite completely as well.

 

[1millionsecrets]

She smiled weakly and stood, walking over to him she spoke barely hiding the pain in her voice. "Don't worry love..."
Her small hands found his strong shoulders and rubbed them softly.

 

[Wolfias]

''I just want to have everything fixed where you're comfortable when...His voice broke as big tears fell silently. It would break his heart if something happened to her, or their baby girl he would never forgive himself. Turning around to face her dropping onto his knees, his arms go around her waist his face against her belly. ''I love you Ivory!''

 

[1millionsecrets]

"My.comfortability is not a concern.... or it shouldn't be." She ran her little hands through his hair. "Your safty is all that matters. And if that means, certain things must happen, then you must be willing to allow them to." Her voice broke softly, and at her daddy's presence the baby fluttered the wall of Ivory's belly.

"I love you Angus." Her voice trembled weakly as she closed her eyes.

 

[Wolfias]

Looking up at her his face streaked with tears as she spoke the truth. ''I was going to do as you asked...I just wanted to make the basement like our bedroom. Feeling the flutter of their baby against his cheek he kisses her belly. Aye...what must happen will happen and I'll be safely away from you. But you can be in a comfortable place...please allow your Angus do this for my wee Lassies?'' His eyes as a puppy as he's looking up to her.

 

[1millionsecrets]

"Okay love..." She hadn't the heart to speak of possibilities to come, things that may result in her death.
Childbirth alone was dangerous, and if he wasn't home, even more so. She simply closed her eyes, regretted presenting a possibility of heart ache to this sweet man. She hated herself, hated her species and prayed for her daughter's eyes to shine like her father's.

 

[Wolfias]

"I'll be upstairs while you're down there and when it's time...when it's safe I'll come help you to deliver our baby girl. Only when you regain complete control will I come to you, I know I can not until then'' Standing up he wraps his love, mate, wife and master as she said once, kissing her lips tenderly with all of his true love for her and their child.

 

[1millionsecrets]

She nuzzled close and kissed him so deeply it hurt, light tears trickled down her cheeks and her hands carefully cupped his perfect face.

 

[Wolfias]

Sighing as she nuzzles close her lips crushed hard against his, soft tiny tears trickling down her cheeks onto his. Holding his face in hands her touch beyond loving, rubs his hands slowly up and down her back. Returning her kiss as desperately as hers, the belong to one another never to be separated.

 

[1millionsecrets]

She pulled back slowly not able to look at him. "Its time...."

 

[Wolfias]

As she pulls away with her downcast he understood why, running a hand over her hair she said. ''It's time'' Placing a loving kiss upon her forehead he sighs. ''Aye my Lass.'' Taking her delicate hand gently into his, it was only ten or so paces to the basement door. Upon reaching the door he opens it ''I love you Ivory.'' He would embrace her once more kissing her cheek, awaiting her entry he took the key to the heavy paddock.

 

[1millionsecrets]

She made her descent into the darkness. This part of her home seemed almost like another world. It was cold enough, if lighted your breath could be seen. Water puddled in various places, and it seeped in from the walls. Only one light, lit the entire room and it hung feebly in the middle. She pulled the cord and the furniture became visible. Against the wall was a chair, w Ith a hole dug below, it opened under the basement into a sewer pit. A tiny cot rested near it, and a chair was placed to the right of the cot.

On the wall hung five chains, all just long enough the reach all of the furniture. Once she reached them, she began placing the lower on her bare ankles. Then she locked them and.placed the restraints on her tiny wrists, and then she offered the neck cuff to him, unable to meet his gaze. "Help me..."

Standing there in the dim light, nude and shivering she looked pathetic.

 

[Wolfias]

Following her downstairs into the cold damp basement, watching her lock shackles on wrists and ankles. ''Aye my love.'' Accepting to restraint collar from her he sighs, locking it around her neck tears welling up. He kisses the top of her pretty little head and steps back ''I'll be right back with pillows and blankets Lass. Walking back over to the stairs and up them, upstairs to the linen closest retrieving her things.

He would figure out a way to heat the basement, and do it in a way she didn't unintentionally kill him. Back down two flights of stairs into that frigid basement, knowing not to meet her eyes now he places pillows and blankets. ''This should help till I pump warm air down here through the food shoot...I love you Ivory and it won't be long before we're safely together once again my beautiful little Lass.''

 

[1millionsecrets]

Not able to even look at him she would nod. "Don't cry... And don't worry. I'll be fine." Gingerly she would take the blankets and pillows and begin making her bed, dismissing him with silence she would turn, not letting him witness the falling of her tears. Before he left though she would hold the key to her shackles out to him. "Here..."

 

[Wolfias]

He didn't mind she dismissed him with silence, she would burst into tears if she said anything else. Gently accepting the key to the shackles, his thumb softy grazes over her delicate hand. ''Aye...for I'll be strong.'' Walking back to the stairs he looks back a moment, stepping through the door closes locks and bars it shut.

 

[1millionsecrets]

She made her way to the small chair and curled upon it softly, there was nearly no light in the room, now that the door closed. The little bulb flickered weakly and she prayed that it didn't go out. She felt it, her eyes flooding and she knew soon a hunger like none before would take her.
Why... Why didn't he just let her drown...

 

[Wolfias]

With a heavy heart he steps out the door she would need food soon, longbow and quiver over his shoulder he set out to hunt. Walking with purpose he came across a game trail, taking a knee he sniffed out a deer and stood. Heading out at a slow trot following his prey, it wasn't long before he found the 10 point Stag. Taking cover down wind of the animal, pulling an arrow from the quiver notched it.

Drawing back the bow string takes aim, the arrow was loosed and travels true to strike. The Stag rears up on it's hind quarters, it feel dead exactly where it had stood. Field dressing it swiftly with very agile practiced skill, leaving inside everything Ivory and babe would need. Touching his forehead to the Stags Angus thanked it, whispering a quite prayer to Gai he then hefts it across his shoulders.

Heading back home he was glad he had someone their, making good time he walks around to the game shoot puts in in. Lowering the box inside the shoot down to the basement, he love could easily get to the Stag inside. Closing the heavy door again locks and bars it, washing off an the well he went back into the house. He took the plates of uneaten food, placing them into the oven to warm up. He needed to eat and take care of himself, Ivory would want him to do this so that's what he'd do.

 

[1millionsecrets]

She heard a loud thump and noticed the meet, it was cold enough inside its meet would stay well for a few days. Usually the smell of blood would cause her to vomit, but in her current state it filled her nostrils like a drug.

She felt her head grow light, and soon everything went dark. As she awoke, all that remained of the poor deer were bones and blood splatter. She grimaced and looked at her alabaster flesh, plastered with the now cool crimson liquid. Tears filled her eyes and she walked to the nearest run off pool to clean herself. "What is wrong with me..."

 

[Wolfias]

Removing the plates of food his sweet love cooked for him, he alright missed her even though it was only hours ago. The plates we place on the table with care, seating himself down to eat his heart ached. A lace edged table cloth of white linen, wild flowers in a rustic earthen vase. two place settings were perfectly set. with the utensils wrapped in red homespun cloth. The plates black volcanic earthenware, it was quaint and placed with care.

Angus said a prayer of thanks to Gaia, for his lass his babe and the food. The bottle of homemade blackberry wine, he lifted pouring himself a little in a glass. Eating slowly his mind imagined his love across from him, still he would long for her just a floor below. ''Your Wolf loves you and always will as you're my Fury Lass.'' A drawing of her sleeping he lay close by him.

 

[1millionsecrets]

She would curl into her bed quietly, tears dancing down her delicate cheeks as she fell asleep.

 

[Wolfias]

After his meal he gathered the three plates, utensils and wine glass, standing from the table with a sigh. A few steps and he was at the sink, washing the dishes quickly rinsing and drying them. Tears well in steel grey eyes and roll down Angus cheeks, the Mate bond better he and his love unbreakable.

Wiping his eyes roughly with a callused hand, internally chiding himself for feeling sorry for himself. Bracing a large hand on the counters edge, concentrating to establish the link to his lass. -I love you my lass...if you hear a voice whispering in your mind it is I your Wolf and Mate-
