"I don't know, the idea of it is promising. But how would one earn a second chance? Is it just handed to you?" Malachi replied uncertainly.
Phoenix thought the other wolf looked a bit thoughtful, as if the idea of a second chance had never occurred to him. It hadn't occurred to Phoenix either. What happened when the cougar attacked wouldn't have changed anything no matter how he had handled it. If he had stayed with his siblings in that den instead of looking for Darkfire and his mother he was certain he would have been dead and Darkfire's chances of survival would have gotten lower. After losing their mother the two pups had to work and depend on each other to survive.
"I have no idea how either," Phoenix muttered, unsure himself. He liked the idea of a second chance, but there was another thought he wanted even deeper than that. Phoenix picked at it till again he thought of his father's death and the guilt. Guilt. Second chance.
"Is that what you're looking for? A second chance?" Malachi asked.
Phoenix blinked. It felt as if that question was the final touch he needed to break the ice. To get the thing he needed. "Yeah, a second chance," he said. "But... what the thing I want most. Is to repent, to make up for what I did." Phoenix paused thinking. "Maybe that's how you earn a second chance. By trying to repent for your sins and bad choices. To change for the better and live." For the first time Phoenix felt more sure of himself. Well actually he is always confident and even cocky but after the pack invasion and Feuer's death... that confidence cracked.
