The dark side.

Going up

As me and the mountain started our climbe up i started singing the most randome words i could think of. I was not a good singer at al. The mountain was laughing and grining to start of with but after about 3 hours his face had a pained look to it.

- You are really not a good singer Alfa.

I started laughing and stopped walking.

- I never said I was and thats a good thing. It will drive the dragons crazy. And that will bring them to us and leave the others alone. It was our goal remember?

- I do...but I wish i had something to stuff in my ears so I dont have to hear it. Its driving pop insane!

- Sorry it cant be helped.

He gave a little grunt and carried on walking. I smiled and followed after him and started singing again. The climb up started to get steaper and less and less of trees were around. Witch was good, easyer for us to see if something was coming our way. Morrigan was on high alert making sure that noting was going to suprise us. I took in another deep breath, filling my lungs with the scent of my mate. It made me smile. I could not wait to have him in my arms again, only this time I would make sure nothing was going to get to him before me. Specially not my mother. My hole body tensed up just thinking about her. The pain she had caused me again and again.

The mountain could feel my mood changing and looked back at me.

- You good alfa?

- Yeah...Just memorys giving me a hard time.

- You wana talk abou it?

I gave him a smal smile.

- No I am fine.

His eyes turned darker and his face turned grim.

- No you are not. You dont need to keep everything bottled up inside you. Sometimes its better to let it out or it will eat you frome the inside out.

I did not bother answering him and walked pass him. This was my burden to bear not his.

* Maybe you should talk Arwan.

Morrigan almost wisperd in my head.

* What?

* If this time is going to be diffrent we should start opening up. We are not alone this time.

* Pft! There where times we had others around us trying to help. They DIED! Remember that?

* This time it diffrent. We have fighters. The mountain is strong, so is his brother. The Godess sent them to us this time to help. We should take the help offerd us.

I did not answer her. What could i say? She did have a point. But could i risk it? Could i open up and share the burden put on me so long ago? No, it would hurt even more when they died becuse of me. The pain of loosing my mate was enoff of pain for my heart.

* Trust me Arwan. And as you said if we fail this time you were going to give in enyway, so what harm could it do.

Another good point.

* Fine morrigan.

I stopped walking and looked up at the sky, it was getting dark. We had been climbing now for about 8 hourd. I turned around to face Alan.

- We should stop for a rest here. Its getting dark and the climbe up will get harder.

He still looked a bit pissed of and just nodded his head. I walked over to an area with some big rocks that would be good for some shelter frome the wind that was picking up. Satt down with my back sgains the biggest one snd looked up at Alan.

- Sitt down, I would like to talk to you.

His eyes narrowed at me.

- I am not leaving you here alone!

- Uhh? I was not going to send you away. You are bait remember?

I gave him one of my evil grins and that seamed to relax him a bit and he came over and satt down infront of me.

- Well if youre not going to send me away what would you like to talk about?

- The past.

His eyes almost bulged out of his head.

- What? You are shitting me??

I slowly shook my head.

- No I am not. I had a talk to Morrigan and she feals we should share...im still not really sure its a good ide.

- Why not? Whats the worst that could happen?

My hole face whent dark

- You all could die.

He satt there quiet for a moment, scaning my face and hoping i would tell him i was joking. I was not.

- You are not shitting me..?

- No.

He nodded slowly

- I see..What do you mean we all could die?

I raised my eyebrow

- You die you stop breathing, no heart beat. You know.

- I know what that is! I mean HOW? You telling me youre past would make me die right here sitting infrong of you.

- ..well no.

- so you opening youre mouth sharing stuff is harmles to me.

- ..Well kind of.

He gave me a smile.

- So what are you so scared about then?

- I am scared of the burden being to hard for others to carry. I am use to it, its part of me.

His laugh started small and soon he was giggling like a mad man.

- Have you seen the size of me alfa? I am a big boy!

I started laughing as well.

- You sure are!!

We laught for a little more and then I sighd.

- Its a long story and most of it is really shitty.

He pulled out another pork leg from his bag and took a bite of it.

- All good, will give me time to eat and rest my legs.

He grined at me with his mout full with meat. His easy going way making me sure I could tell him this.

- Fine...Well it all started befor I was born.... About 3000 years ago.

He stopped eating and stared at me.

* Just let it flow Arwan....
