Scarlett Trivale

So try to love me
And i'll try to save you

Scarlett and Frost were quite simply different people. Designed and molded by their pasts into the people they were now: a warm little country girl who felt all her emotions like the tides ebbing and flowing and a cold Alpha from a far off place who built his walls up to keep people out. As different as fire and ice but that was not a bad thing. To her, the world was colorful, so many shades and mixtures for everything, while his world was black and white. What seemed boring to her was ideal for someone like him, and there was nothing wrong with that; there was nothing wrong with being different. She had learned long ago that if everyone was like her the world would be a boring place, better perhaps but boring. She had also decided that one of the reasons she liked Frost so much was that he was so different than her. Their paths had crossed and were now intertwining, his cold and her warmth surely to make a tornado but whether that tornado would be stunning or destructive was yet to be seen. While she could bring color to his world, perhaps the reason she so accepted his invitation to join his pack was because he could remind her of the black and white, that sometimes things were not as confusing and elaborate as tapestries, to not get lost in the paintings.

The wolf knew that the hand that had been outstretched to her was not one held out to everyone. The stallion was not one to so readily offer others advice like he had her, nor let just anyone in his pack. For whatever reason, he had picked her and she was choosing him. Perhaps it was his mysterious nature, the cold walls he put up, that drew her natural curiosity to him, to want to understand him and befriend him. Scarlett knew there was a possibility she would be chipping away at a never ending wall, but maybe if she chipped enough she wouldn't have to break through, he might even let her in on his own. It could be a fallacy but the wolf was stubborn and believed anything possible. Even knowing the rumors and warnings about him that were also whispered when his name was brought up did nothing to detour her away from the stallion, if anything it helped fuel the fire for her overwhelming desire to see the good in everyone. Maybe he had carefully deceived her in small ways, and maybe she should not put her trust in him at all, but she found he had shown her nothing but kindness, and not once had she ever been scared he would harm her. Even when fear had over taken her at the offer of joining Tetradore's pack and she had run, not a single thought of running crossed her mind as she was left to decide if she would take his hand and change her life.

Green eyes watch him stand offer his hand to help her to her feet. His words echo in her mind as she repeats the word home. Yes, home. Home was not a place but people, she had decided. It was why this place and the country she had grown up in felt so empty, because there were no people there, atleast anymore, to call it home. Nadya had explained this to her awhile ago and it finally seemed to be making even a little bit of sense to her, on how a pack could be home, a family. She hadn't even met the rest of his pack but already her natural Were instincts made the connection to them as family. She gently takes his hand and rises. The idea of home bringing a smile to her face and filling her with warmth that wasn't his power's doing. She walked beside him, though it became clear she seemed to be leading in her own right, her mind vaguely remembering the way to his home from the one time she had been but he would certainly need to step in to help guide her a little bit. As they walked through the park, she felt a strange new feeling inside of her, inside of her head. It felt like wholeness, a connection of sorts that filled her with curiosity and, for a reason she didn't quite know yet but her instincts understood, happiness.

His words have her blink a little, head tilted in curiosity. If there was any more clues he needed to know she was a bitten Were with little guidance in this world then this was it. She knew of pack bonds, but she didn't understand them. This is the first time she'd ever been in a pack. It was a foreign feeling, but not one she was uncomfortable with. She gently, almost hesitantly tried to feel them out, to learn on her own what so many of her kind knew from the beginning; quite simply she was like a child learning things for the first time by testing them out. It would take some time, a few days of her testing things out and learning, even being offered more explanation on pack bonds. For the moment, she was content to simply walk with this new found sense of wholeness and excitement at the prospect of meeting new Weres, her pack mates, later on. "I've been....neglecting to eat lately so no I haven't eaten this evening," she admitted quietly, perhaps a little embarrassed by admitting how dark of a place she had let herself get to, where even her appetite had simply alluded her for so long. How funny, that each time they met, there always seemed to be food involved somehow.

Her mind did not forget his offer to let him live at his place with the pack or let her continue to live on her own. She was mulling it over quietly, a lot of self doubt clouding her decision. She had turned down Nadya's offer of a place to stay because it hadn't felt like the right thing to do, especially when she had a roof over her head regardless of how lonely it was. But this was different, this was her pack. She didn't want to live away from them, her wolf wanting to embrace what was naturally ingrained in them, but her doubt plaguing her. No, she thought, shaking the doubts from her mind, he wasn't the type to offer if he didn't want to, and the best way to learn and be involved with the pack was to live with them. "I would like to live with the pack, if that's alright," she said, but there was still that doubt that crept into her sentence even after he had said it was fine, it made her want to smack herself. The best medicine for a social creature like herself was to be surrounded by other people, and if she had access to Frost at anytime to ask him questions along with other pack members, then the only thing that could come out of living with them was good.
