-&& Rain falls down and {Riddle} slips up...(Snow)

[{Riddle}--♥]

Rain spluttered down to the ground, pouring from the skies in a violent storm. Gusts of wind bursted around the park and breezed quickly past things, causing rushes of cool air to hit the pelts of dogs all around. It was certainly chilly outside, and the temperatures promised a cold drop again, reminding everyone of the trecherous winter. But at least it was forming to be sunny and warm, and everyone looked forward to that. If a little rain meant a lot of sunshine, Riddle would welcome the wet splashes like she'd welcome Jiro back into her life; Unsurely but happily.

A pretty american foxhound darted out from underneath a rusty red slide and flashed toward another shelter. Soon enough, she had darted under the plastic blue covering of a bridge; One of the many playthings of those strange humans; The humans who nearly killed them all, but also nearly saved them with their gasoline. Raindrops still managed to hit her silky pelt, though, which made her frustrated and agitated. She absentmindedly muttered something under her breath, and looked around with her ears flattened. Everything was wet and dirty and.... wet. Although she very occasionally liked to swim, she did not like getting very wet this often. She just wished that it would get warm and stay that way, without all this disgusting rain falling down and splattering on her pelt whenever it wanted to. Feeling stupid and silly for thinking about things such as this when there were much, much more important things to think about, Riddle shook her head and glared off into the distance, hatered for her own life sinking into her gaze.

Self-pity and sadness for herself weren't things that Riddle really had in her. She didn't have the boldness for even that at the moment. All she could really feel at the moment is hatered and anger. Somehow, she felt like all of this was her fault. Although it was a silly idea, Riddle was very serious and just knew that it was her fault that Jiro had been taken away from her. When he got bitten, she should have defended him instead of just standing there in terror. It should have been her who was bitten. Or better yet, killed. She sighed. "I don't deserve to live this life," She muttered under her breath. She knew she was going to die at some point anyway, and she knew that her life was pointless. Nothing important would ever happen in her life, so she'd just be wasting space in this world. This was a one-way road for her at the moment, and she had never really thought about the gray area in between the black and white. She though that she may as well die now before she does something else stupid or senseless. Riddle sighed once more and looked around for any trace of another dog. But no scent lingered at all, and so she sat in silence as she thought of possible ways to die quickly while still making the murderer amused by her death. Hm...

Standing up and walking out into the rain, Riddle thought for the first time of what her parents-parent- would feel like if she died. Would they be angry with her efforts to die so quickly? Would they be sad about her death? Would they... She shivered. Would they avenge her death? For the first time in a long time, Riddle began to see the gray areas of this twisted plan of hers. Perhaps she should think more about this before deciding what she wants to do with her life. By now her pelt was soaked, but she was still in a daydream and wondering about those silver and gray areas where things would get messy. And, for the first time, she wondered why she really wanted to die, why she couldn't just see the brighter side of things anymore. Riddle sighed again and sat down in the pouring rain, wrapping her tail around her paws. She had so much to think about.

Snowflakes drift..
From the ever clear blue sky..
If you know me well..
Then follow my trail down the sky..

A white figure stood in the distance, his coat fluffed out in it's bushiness. His large, bushy tail lay out behind him. He quickly ran through the park. Strangely enough, he kept remembering the last day that he had met a sad pup, trying to kill herself until a tainted dog almost got her, then she realized what she was doing and regretted her taunting. It had been warm and sunny and this guardian angel had been ignorant before he saved her, then he learned much and changed dramatically. His life was horrible after he changed though, because everybody made fun of him for instantly growing up, so to speak. Still, to this day, he is made fun of, but he takes care of it differently then he would have when he was arrogant and ignorant. He slowed to a stop and his orbs widened suddenly.

He stood, about five fox-lengths away from a familiar depressed form. He kept his maw from gaping and instantly reduced his orbs to normal. He slowly walked forward, making slight noises to warn her that he was coming so as not to scare her. When he was close enough he let out a soft, kind bark, to tell her that he was a pure. Her name ran through his head, although he didn't know if it was valid. He had heard her name from others, from the messed up versions of what had happened when she was a puppy. He didn't want her to be suspicious of him because he knew her name. His inviting and cheery voice sounded softly, coming slow, as he could see that she was deep in thought. Hello. My calling is Snowflake, but many call me Snow. Feel free to call me whichever you wish. he smiled at her sweetly.

I watch as
[SNOWFLAKE]s
melt the clear blue sky..

Snowflake saw though, that she was hurt, and most likely reconsidering or rethinking about something. He moved closer just a bit and sat down in front of her. Where his fur touched the ground, it became brown and his fur slowly became plastered to his skin. He felt cold, but not because of the cold rain plastering his fur to his skin, slowly taking the white color from his body, but because he feared of what Riddle may be thinking. 'Oh Riddle, please don't be thinking of killing yourself.... please...' he thought. A large scar that was on his body could be easily seen now that his fur was plastered to his skin. It started on his muzzle tip, went straight down to his scruff, then split there, one curling around his neck and down his chest. Then it curled around his stomach and followed his back to his tail-tip, but stopped right before. The other end curled around the other side of his neck and was in the same way, except whenever it curled, it curled the opposite way.

Snowflake looked at her, laying there in apparent misery, obviously holding a weight on her mind. He pulled himself out of his small thinking so that he could catch anything that she said if she did. His orbs held kindness but he kept his thoughts to himself, he didn't want her to dislike him. He already figured out that he was in love with her a while before. He didn't want her to be mad at him. Once again, the memory of her almost dieing played in his mind. He gulped nervously, was she actually thinking of killing herself again? Was she just thinking normally, or was she regretting something? Was she blaming herself for something? What was going on in her mind, what was she thinking? The questions rolled through his mind, but he ignored them and shoved them aside. None of the past mattered now, except that she would maybe recognize him. Before he could stop himself his tone, still kind and inviting, took over him and tumbled out loud enough to be heard. Riddle, do you remember me? there was a hint of wonder, wonder whether she would be angry or whether she would understand what he meant, in his tone. It lingered still after he had spoken. But he did not try to cover up what he had said, he just awaited her response. While he waited he realized that in his distress he had stood up tall.

[{Riddle}--♥]

Though the rain had not cleared, and the sun was not yet shining, the dark mood that seemed to cling to Riddle had left and drifted elsewhere. Oddly, everything around her was viewed from a different perspective. She wasn't sure why she had this arbiturary mood swing, until she realized what- who- she was gazing at, her bright eyes shimmering with hope and- could it be?- happiness.

The familiar white dog seemed to be walking toward her, with more caution than she'd have excepted. He looked hesitant, but also very happy to see her. Reminiscence flooded through her, all around her body as she remembered this miricle of a canine; Snowflake. Snow had saved her when she was so young, so helpless, and helplessly running from a tainted dog. She'd never thought twice when she ran away from the scene of the crime, leaving Snow to his fate to fight off the infected canine. Of course as she fell into the ranks of safety once more, she felt terrible and regret had flooded through her. She could have never forgotten the terror in his eyes as he battered the dog away, frantically trying to keep it off of himself while she ran, like a coward.

More and more regret and pity flooded through her as she got a closer look at Snowflake. He was still the fluffy ball of love she'd once remembered him as, but every battle ends in scars and sorrow. She could see scars and cuts, still not healed since their last encounter, all along his snow-white figure. Riddle bit her lip and felt so stupid as to have left him there, all alone to fight off the infected dog. How cruel she must have been, how selfish. But right now, Riddle couldn't think much about that. She was much too happy as to see him alive than to think about him being dead.

With another sudden burst of joy, just as he finished his sentence, Riddle darted over to him with a few happy barks and toppled him over. She laughed and licked him playfully, just happy to see him. For a moment she grew silent, wondering what he was thinking about. Probably wondering why the h*ll she did that... Again, she laughed. Sitting up, she said, "Snowflake... Is it really you?" Riddle could hardly believe it was the same dog she'd met so long ago, but she knew in her heart that it was.

Joyous still, she got off of him and sat up, just now realizing that they were sitting there in the rain. Her pelt was soaked in rain water and mud, creating a mix of dirty fur along her body, but she didn't care. She wasn't really sure that Snow cared either, though she did get his lovely white fur all dirty.... Yes, how cute he was... Startled with her sudden thoughts, Riddle nearly jumped in surprise, hoping that the shock didn't show on her face. She wasn't exactly sure what Snow thought of her, whether he hardly even cared for her or not, or any of that... How foolish she'd been. Suddenly Riddle felt very immature and silly. It usually wasn't like her to be so happy and bubbly. But, despite her bitter defense against herself, she had to admit that she liked it. And she knew exactly who caused it.... That wonderful ball of white fur, called Snowflake.

Snowflakes drift..
From the ever clear blue sky..
If you know me well..
Then follow my trail down the sky..

Snowflake smiled warmly at the femme. Her orbs widened in surprise and then danced in happiness. She was sitting there, all stunned like, but so happy to see him that she lept on him and soiled his long, white, fluffy fur in mud. At first he kind of didn't want to be soaked in mud but he pushed it aside. That didn't matter now, he had finally found the only dog that he loved. THe heart, his heart, that had ached for two years, broken down in misery instantly beamed. He could hear it, and his blushed, happy that the mud all over his face from the splatter covered the blush a lot. He didn't care about his blush though. He jumped over her and then turned and tackled her to the ground. Yes, Riddle, it is. he said, his voice exploding with joy. His reached his face down and licked her maw.

Snow stood next to her now, then he lay down. He turned her over so that she was on her belly now and licked her again. I've been searching for you since that day. I'm so glad that you ran instead of fighting with me. I was afraid that you would've been tainted. But you did me the greatest favor I could ever had asked for. That day you changed me, and now I'm thankful for that. he said, hoping to cheer her up more, although those words were true. He wanted to tell her, he wanted to tell her bad, all about how she changed him from an arrogant brat to the sweetest pup in all the lands. But he was sure that she was happy enough just seeing him. He loved her so much. Riddle, I know we haven't met in two years, but I just wanted to tell you something... he paused.

I watch as
[SNOWFLAKE]s
melt the clear blue sky..

Snow hoped that she loved him in the way that he loved her. I love you so much, Riddle. You healed my heart that had been aching for two years, now it's healed again. I'm so happy to see you, I can't even put it into words. he paused with the next thing as to give her a minute to pull this all in. 'Am I going too fast?' he wondered. He wanted to blurt it out ten times faster than he was, but he forced himself to go slow. He took a breath, it had been enough time for suck it in now, he guessed, so he continued. I know this might be fast for you, but I know that I'm in love with you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you, if you feel the same about me that is, Riddle... he said. He hoped that she knew what he meant, he hoped the most though, that she would say yes..

He looked at her thoughtfully, not doing anything else though, just in case she said no. He wasn't sure. He could've promised that she would agree, but now that he had said it he wasn't so sure. What if she thought that he was obsessed with becoming her mate for some bad reason? What if she thought that he was going too fast so that he could have a chance of raping her? The questions flew into his brain all at once. He tried to throw them aside, but it wasn't working to well. They swelled up inside his brain so much that it hurt. The hairs on the back of his neck rose in disgust though as he felt wrongness

[/b], it was hard to explain. He felt it weak at first, but as the time flew by he felt it stronger and stronger. He pushed it aside, letting his fur plaster to his body again. He was so happy to be with Riddle right now that it was easy to push the feeling away.[/color][/size][/blockquote]

[{Riddle}--♥]

The rain had cleared up pretty well, though gray sheets hung over them in the sky and smothered it in endless dreariness. Their mood, though, was completely different. Riddle was very happy and beamed as she sat beside Snowflake. It was as if the darkness, the coldness, that had once resigned in her lifeless heart had been lifted, and all that was left was warmth and love.

Calmer than before though still a bit playful, Riddle happily licked Snow's fur and looked around with her wide, curious orbs as he spoke. It was hard to concentrate on what exactly he was saying, for she was so excited she figited and began to meander off in her own thoughts. Mixed emotions swarmed through her mind, confusion refusing to ebb from the cluttered area of thoughts. Snowflake- Love me? She questioned herself, rather lost in her web of puzzled thoughts. But I'm just- I'm just- Just...Me. Just plain old me.

Riddle sighed and wondered why she was having this arguement with herself when it was never really needed. She was sure that Snow, the sweety that he was, would never take back what he said about her just to be cruel. And she knew that it was just foolish to try and make herself believe that none of it was real. Oh, how she wanted it to be! But no one had ever thought of loving her before... Except her beloved Jiro, but he was lost a long time ago.... Finally she decided that Snowflake really did love her. But she still had a final question; Did she love him back?

For a two year old dog, it was hard to find the answer to that. Any other female dog would think that all of this was way too fast. Besides, she'd hardly met this dog! But love is about trust, right... And she knew that she trusted Snow with all of her heart. It was just hard to think about him taking it and breaking it, just as Jiro had done. She wasn't sure why she doubted Snow at all, but... She just wouldn't be able to bear it if Snow, too, got caught by one of the tainted canines. It would break her heart-Or what was left of it.

So still was left the decision of what to say to him. She knew that she loved him very much, but she wasn't sure that she could bear taking the risk. Also, all of this love mess had left her in a ball of confusion. It was as if there was suddenly no way of knowing what was going to happen next. Despite all of what she'd just been thinking about, she believed that she liked that feeling.

So saying that she knew she loved him as much as he did her, Riddle thought of something to reply with. She avoided his eyes a little, but found it hard to look away from his big brown eyes. At last, as she spoke, she was gazing right at him. "Snowflake..." She murmered and lied her head on his shoulder, burying her face in his fuzzy white fur. She wasn't sure if there was much more to say, or if Snow would just understand what she intended to say in the first place. "I love you, you know that. It's just... It is a little fast for me." She admitted, hoping that her soft tone would ebb the anger or hurt that Snow might feel as he heard her. Nervously, she waited for a reply.

Snowflakes drift..
From the ever clear blue sky..
If you know me well..
Then follow my trail down the sky..

Snowflake stared nervously as she tried to grasp the fact of his love. She seemed to be in disbelief. His orbs deepened, sadness filling them like ink spilling into pure water. He looked down to hide his sadness. But he shook his head and shoved it away. 'This is normal..' he told himself, still trying to shake away the wrongness that was heavier in the air now. 'I should expect her to be.. well, disbelieving.. Afterall, I have no idea what she's been through after our last meeting...' his thoughts trailed on. She had been through her brother, Jiro, turning into a tainted dog, and not even learning his knew name, which Snowflake knew well. Tainted Poison was one of the worst Tainted dogs out there. He was scheming, evil, and a cheat.. You could get much worst than that, much.. And Tainted Poison was way more than that..

Oh yes, he was terrible. Snowflake had even heard of a pup dreaming about him the day after he almost got Tainted.. but that pup was a trickster, he always messed with Tainted dogs. But this dream, this dream was a nightmare. Snowflake snapped out of his thoughts immediately.. What if he had missed her answer? Here we go again.. back into his endless thoughts and confusions. Yes, even this big strong ball of fluff had went through terrible things and meetings since Riddle saved him; and vice-versa. Snowflake shook his head once more and tried not to get stuck in his world of thoughts again. He had to focus. He looked around for a moment, that 'feeling' was growing. His fur was rising all over his body.

I watch as
[SNOWFLAKE]s
melt the clear blue sky..

Snowflake tried once more to shake away the feeling of wrongness that hung heavy in the air. He tried to sought out what it was, but it was too far away. Riddle's large hesitation to him was getting to him. He kept himself under control by sliding his claws out and digging them into the soil, reaching for a grip. Then something happened that soothed him for only a second. Riddle stared at his large brown orbs and murmured.. Snowflake.. Nervousness built up even more in him. He curled his big fluffy tail around him to cover up his nervousness. In his mind, he knew that she'd decline, but he didn't want to believe it. He didn't want to believe it at all, even though in his mind he knew what was going to happen.

Snowflake braced himself for her answer. He hoped oh so much that she'd agree, but he also expected her to decline, shove him away. He had night-mared about this so many times that he was beginning to think that it was a dream. I love you, you know that. It's just... It is a little fast for me. Her voice echoed deep in his mind. 'Oh...........' he thought. Hurt stabbed his heart once again until once more, his heart ached with loneliness. But he covered it up before it showed by forcing a smile with ease and licking her maw. It's ok.. I knew it would. he closed his orbs and grinned wide, making him look truely delighted. But really, he was just trying to hide his cold, aching heart, the feeling of wrongness that had grown much heavier, and his growing depression from being away from her so long. He panted for a moment, enjoying what was left of the sun. He knew what was going to happen next. A tainted dog was going to attack before the sun rose to evaporate the rain. Since Snow and Riddle were soaked, the tainted would have the advantage and would attack before the sun rose to warm their pelts. Snow's muscles happened to ache at the moment. They ached from all of his travel and it felt good to just rest a moment with Riddle, even if it was raining. Snow stared into her opaque hued orbs for a moment, just enjoying the time he was with her.

[{Riddle}--♥]

White fur meshed together with black, creating a strange melody of the two canines' pelts as they quietly sat there together. The heavy rain and strong winds that once pushed past them had stopped altogether. It seemed almost as if everything had stopped- However, each of them could hear the quiet, rhythmic beats of their hearts, syncopated in a beautiful harmony. Only the quiet murmer of owls hooting in the background broke the silence, though even that sounded pretty and tranquil. Everything seemed so meekly perfect and in place for once in Riddle's life.

The American Foxhound seemed to be thinking very hard about something, and as she stared blankly down at the ground, her eyes fixed on puddles of murky rainwater, something much bigger than just happiness was on her mind. Though she was young, she knew what she wanted; She knew what she had; She knew about exactly what she'd gotten herself into. However, she wasn't quite so sure of how to get herself out. It wasn't like her to try and take things back, or wish that she could just go back in time and redo something. There was only one other time in her life where she had wanted to do this, which was when she wished she could have saved Jiro before he was turned into a dreadful tainted dog, now so evil and cruel. This was the second time she wish she could take something back.

Guilt washed over her, knowing that she had probably made Snowflake very sad with what she'd told him. Riddle knew it was the right thing to tell him the truth, but she couldn't help but feel sorry for what she said and wanted desperately to take it back. Why couldn't I have just told him I loved him back and nothing else? She asked herself. She knew fully well that she couldn't take anything back that she said, though, and she couldn't go back in time to change it. However, Riddle still wanted to make it up to him and didn't want this guilt to continue on eating away at her. Although he grinned and tried to look happy, she was almost positive that Snowflake wasn't so happy as he looked. Come on, Riddle, think...

For a few minutes she was silent and thought about what to say to him. What to do, what to do... She thought, and sighed mentally. She felt pressured and weighed down with the guilt she felt, making it harder and harder for her to think of what to do or say. She felt so helpless and unsure, she had no idea what it was that she wanted. But then she knew; She wanted Snow, and she wanted him to be happy. Quickly she regained hope and thought of what to do. She looked up at him and licked his cheek, still looking meek, and smiled at him. "Snowflake, I still love you. You know that. Just... Take it easy on me, I'm still getting used to this." She told him with a grin, and giggled a little. Maybe she could get used to this.
