And there it was, the part where he was completely ignored, obvious by how she looked right past him, staring off into the forest. If it was said that Gimmel was a strong wolf, he would not deny that, but he certainly was not completely invulnerable to the forest. Those echoes were often heart wrenching and brought great sorrow to him when the forced him to relive his past but he knew better than to go running off. He was strong enough not to listen because the past was the past. Anyone who refused to let go was weak in his eyes. She though him a pup? So be it, he did try to warn her in his own way and she refused to listen to him. They always had to act so tough, so bold, and he wondered why they couldnâ€™t just admit they didnâ€™t have the stomach to face this forest.<br/><br/>It was not every day that he goes out of his way to warn others of the dangers of places like this, where old memories gather. He remembered why now.<br/><br/>He knew that he had to get out of there himself, just in case that something shows up that he would be powerless against. Things that were better off forgotten, lost, remaining in the past. He didnâ€™t want to remember those things ever again. It just so happens there was quite a few things in that department and he definitely did not want those skeletons loose for the whole world to see. He shivered at the thought. Gimmel trotted back to the shrine, admiring the sunlight shining on the snow, creating a sort of pinkish crystalline glow. He was  intrigued to find his sister up at this hour, staring off into the forest.<br/><br/>â€œBeyt?â€ He called out to her in a calm tone. â€œYouâ€™re up early.â€<br/><br/>â€œShe went into the forest again. Gimmel, we have to go back and help her, sheâ€™s in danger! The darkness will swallow herâ€¦â€<br/><br/>Beytâ€™s tone was void of almost any emotion what so ever and it bothered Gimmel greatly. He turned his gaze to the forest absently as he wondered if by â€˜sheâ€™ Beyt meant Jhene. Beyt was known for having a special gift for sensing things so if that were the case then it would not surprise him in the slightest. They were always getting themselves into trouble because of her random desire to save those who have fallen victim to the Dark Places. Not all of them were grateful for it and didnâ€™t hesitate to show their dissatisfaction. He wanted to question his sister further, tell her to just leave it alone. But before he could say anything more, Beyt bolted swiftly towards the forest like she was possessed. â€œFoolâ€¦â€ Gimmel said in a low growl before starting after her.<br/><br/>Leaving her brother behind, she ran into the forest as fast as she could wondering where Jhene could have gone off, too. She could smell her scent so she knew she could not have been far yet the fae continued to elude her. Andâ€¦ and there was also another presence masking her. It made Beytâ€™s fur stand on end and she felt a low growl deep in her throat. Whatever was there was certainly not anything friendly and she knew she had to run faster. She had to reach Jhene before it was too late and the forest took her forever. If that happened Beyt could never live with herself. She would have failed everyone. Her brother, the pack, even Drake and Fatal. And that was what worried her so much, she refused to fail.<br/><br/>â€œJhene!â€ She called out hoping her voice would reach her. But the only thing she found was another wolf staring her down, blocking her from reaching Jhene and whatever she was talking to, a large black male that looked a lot like Gimmel with a blank expression. Beyt froze when she recognized the wolf. â€œA-Alephâ€¦â€<br/><br/>â€œThe forest has awakened, Beytâ€¦â€ The wolf said with a sinister smile. Beyt just stared at him... it... knowing exactly what that meant.
