Hopes and dreams[Nyx]

[shy]

Dexter trotted along the side of the huge waterfall the loud sound of the water crashing below into the deep and cold water his tongue hanged from his mouth as he trotted. As he went further down the sound became relaxing he soon came to a stop watching the water move down stream his mind went into a thinking stage like always "Is their any hope for me...is their one special femme that can save my life from depression"he thought these things ran through his mind.

Slowly he sat on his haunches and just watched the down stream river move in a peaceful way as he sat their he listened to all the sounds around him it was so silent it made chills go down his spine for a bit but soon past away. Dexter was a depressed kind of brute he had suffered many things in his past it was bad enough he suffered brain damage which caused a lot of problems maybe that was the reason why he didn't have a mate.

Thinking about it made his heart break turning him back into depression it wasn't new he had this feeling for a very long time also the sadness and pain about life with no love and no friends.

Nyx stepped out of the trees, black coat ruffling. She looked around and spotted the water. The femme was tired from running all day. She was a little down stream from Dexter, and didn't notice him. Dipping her maw into the water that was calmer, Nyx caught what she thought might have been a sigh. It was faint but she knew she had heard it. Looking up, Nyx saw the brute. He seemed sad. Nyx's black eyes scanned the grounds, and started towards him. Her body language said she wasn't threatening him, and she stopped just out of attack range.

"I'm sorry to intrude, but you seem a little down. Is there anything I can do?" She sat down, her black tail curving around her haunches. Nyx's head cocked to the right looking the brute over once. He was very handsome, a dutch shepard if she wasn't mistaken. Nyx was beautiful too, but she didn't really care. Her solid black coat was thick and made her look a little bigger than she really was. She was a belgian sheepdog, a very caring one at that. Seeing this brute in sorrow hurt her heart somehow. No one ever touched her this way before. "My name's Nyx." She offered.

As he watched the rive flow down stream I voice was heard he turned his head he was silent for a moment his face reminded you of a sad pup "Its okay I'm fine"he said his voice was still said and depressed he lied yes but still. He didn't want the femme to think he was a over sensitive guy. When she spoke her name a much better smile came on "Very pretty name my name is Dexter....to tell you the truth I am just really depressed I been like this for a while only cause I don't feel like actually belong in this world my parents hated me my owner did to I was tested in a lab...I feel like I have no soul or life in me for what I been through"he said to her.

"Why did I just tell her my past how come I just told her the truth"he thought he looked at her waiting to see what she would say "She is the first femme I spoke my feelings about is it possible that she might be the one"he thought to him self.

Nyx felt the sting of his past, her eyes sobering. "I'm sorry for that Dexter, but that is the past. Look and see what is right in front of your nose. The world is beautiful, too beautiful and full of hope and dreams to let pass! So why are you sitting here depressed think of the past with no one at your side, when you can believe in something, and sit with someone you love, thinking of a future?" She turned her head from him now, her eyes flashing out to the water. "Of course everyone's past effects them, and there are times to remember and times to forget. Some dogs can't let go, they survive, others that don't let go, they drown in the harsh world they've created. Some even let go, but let go a little to much, and become lost. Each dog has a peace ground, just big enough to stand on, not one step more." She sighed "My brother killed my little sister and attacked me. My father killed him in cold blood in front of my eyes. I hated my brother more than anyone, but he was still my brother and I still miss and love him. I've let go and have moved on, but sometimes I stop and remember him, and my little sister. It took me years to let go and move on, and every dog has his or her own healing time. I respect you for your feelings, and feel honored to know your past."

She knew he probably had never told anyone but her his past. She felt for him, and her heart ached. Padding a little closer, she placed her crown against his jaw in a way that said everything would be OK.

[shy]

He listened to her wise words of on how to let go it was hard to life to him was just a cruel world no one cared about how you felt, none didn't understand you every day he suffered brutes would hurt him for no reason seeing how he was emotionless wreck. As he continue to listen he notice her eyes becoming water ears went down feeling bad as she told her history both of their histories were painful when she placed her crown under his jaw he didn't know what to do he didn't know if he should cry, speak, smile, he was lost with his own emotions.

He wanted to smile he really did but he feared to smile he didn't know why but he did, but slowly a smile came onto his maw showing he would be okay "This is the first time I have ever smiled"he said to her a smile was still place on his maw he looked at Nyx with a smile and gave her a sweet lick on the face "Thank you very much for making me smile I always wished some one special would put a smile on my face....your also the first kind femme to ever to help me understand that the past is the past and that I have to let go"he said to her.

He new it would take time to get use to new emotions hew soon realized that she must have been the one for him.

Blinking away tears, Nyx smiled too, listening to his voice. She looked surprised when he licked her face and said trying to mask her cracking voice, "To live with out happiness is no life at all, and I feel honored to give you a life to live." She felt her heart begin to race a little before calming once more, " I never told anyone my own past, Dexter. I know this is sudden, but I think I feel something very special between you and me." She was certain he felt the same way, like fate had drawn them together. If felt so cheesy, cheesy and beautiful. Could this be... dare she say it, love?

Her heart felt warm then, all sense of loneliness was washed away. Maybe she could really imagine Dexter by her side forever. Their pasts pulling them together, and their hearts intertwining. She wanted to see his smile more. It was beautiful, a little awkward, but that was o.k. since he had never smiled before, but she'd make sure he smiled at least once every day from now on.She nuzzled the tip of that smile with her own and felt at home for once. They said that Canine Ridge was heaven for most dogs. Well at least it was for Nyx right now.

[shy]

He listened to her kind voice when she spoke saying that she felt connected to him he smiled more "I think so to Nyx...no femme has every helped me or ever made me feel the passion of love before for what all I been through you changed my life around Wren your the first that I truly feel about every time you talk you heal my heart more and more"he spoke sweetly to her. As she pressed her lips against his he licked her on the lips gently giving her a smile his eyes burned with true passion love for her it was true her voice had healed his heart one by one it did but it was just the beginning. He had a long way to go on how to social and trust others he had stayed far away from others for a long time.

He felt like it was just him, and her no one else on the earth he felt much pure, and loved cause of Wren he soon realized his love for her was stronger than anything he new if she ever die he would crash down back into that depressed and emotional stage.

Nyx watched the passion burn in his eyes, and felt absolutely whole. She knew how he felt, and his voice soothed and strengthened her somehow. She felt a blush rise beneath her black coat when he kissed her back, and was glad Dexter couldn't see it. In her wildest dreams she had never imagined this, "Dexter, I love you, and I never thought I could grab someone like you. Most brutes are so insensitive, I admire that you know what you feel and aren't afraid to tell me." She felt her own passion well into her eyes, burning black flames sparkled in her eyes.

Nyx was happy, she had a mate, but now what? Dexter loved her and she loved him... She looked into his eyes again, "What now Dexter?" Her voice seemed a little lost, the emotions swirling like a tornado inside her body. She felt vulnerable and strong at the same time, at peace and yet troubled. What would the future hold for her? What did the future hold for them both! She shuttered as the world came crashing back into place, the warmth still in her heart, but she knew she had to start thinking straight. About what she wasn't sure, all she was sure of was that she would be with Dexter when it was time to move forward.

[shy]

Dexter trotted next to her tail wagged as the breeze came when she asked what to do he shrugged "I don't know really....how about we go find a good warm place to stay winter is coming and its going to be pretty hard to find a place to sleep"he asked her with a sweet tone.

His tongue hanged out of his as his eyes laid on Nyx waiting for her to speak the day was lovely it was so perfect he had a mate and to him that was all that mattered. He finally had a mate he wasn't going to be lonely no more and had some to protect for once it seemed like a dream but really it wasn't.It was all real for once something was real and not a huge fantasy of his he proved him self wrong for once that not everything is just a fantasy but it can also be real.

His paws carried him gently over the beach as he waited for her to speak to him a huge smile crossed his maw happy that she was his mate if any one tried to take her he kill them.
