FROSTE ;
All memories are but snow, and ice;
cold dust shining in the light of dawn.
And I remember watching it as a pup, the glittering that called to me. That told me to keep my innocence, and to live free, and to move through life without blood in my fur or under my claws. I was a youngling for a time, and then a mother. My life was mine. Theirs.Always theirs.
I think that a part of me always knew that I was made for this place. That I was designed to be cold, and brave, and so quick to protect to my own. I think I could feel it inside of myself, a kind of code, a memory that was made just for me. A reason to show my fangs when the time came.
Because I could not be young, or kind, forever; that is not the nature of things. I felt motherhood move like a thorn through me, cutting everything, replacing it with a kind of cold strength. I watched my children, like I watched the snow, and I was happy.
And I was afraid, always, of losing them.
As if they were ever mine.
Perhaps it was not my choice to lunge when the strangers emerged into the frozen woods and took a step too close to my youngest son, but I still felt my jaw move, and my anger rise, and I listened to the call inside of myself. The one that felt so ancient, and so new, always controlling me. Guiding me.
I was made to be a terror. My love made me terrible.
