What once was lost

The darkness behind her eyes had grown even thicker, darker, bleeker for a moment, and she felt light. It was an endless cycle. Was this her life? Falling into the blackness, only to find somehow...somehow she was back to full conscious again what felt like moments later? She felt as if she was endless, it was a strange feeling. Slowly she tried, tried to pry her eyes open again but the bare sliver of light that flooded her senses caused her to groan again and closed her eyes again. Her whole body quaked with the cold that crashed over her again as she felt herself get lost to the darkness that consumed her...

But suddenly, she wasn't alone. She felt more than heard his pawsteps and then she was grabbed. She wanted to cry, wanted to shriek at the spike of pain that crashed through her when he pulled. But she couldn't, her voice had gone dry, washed away with the cold that flowed over her relentlessly. But just as quick as it happened, it stopped. Then...what was that? It was...speaking, right? The words were muffled, but she could tell they were words. What? Eyes? She'd groan again, protesting. No, it hurt...it hurt too much to open her eyes! Everything hurt. And then the pulling again. This time she did manage a dry, scratchy whimper at the treatment, and it felt like eternity. She was tugged away from the cold, feeling it give way to dry. The dryness scratched through her wet fur, cut into her skin and she whimpered again before it...stopped. Her chest rose and fell rapidly at the feeling of pain coursing through her again when, suddenly, she was wrapped in warmth. It was slow at first, but it soon seeped into her. Her body trembled constantly, shaking and vibrating as the warmth battled with the cold, and her chill wracked at her bones. The groan that pulled from her this time was almost silent. But then...there it was again. That voice, a sound...she didn't recognize it, but then again she hadn't recognized her own sounds the first time she had woken up. Her jaws would part just slightly, but no matter how she tried, the sounds would not come. Her throat felt so dry, her lungs burned...everything hurt. So she tried again, feeling her brows pull tight over her numb face. "...M'awake..." She rasped lightly, eyelids fluttering before one opened just a crack to look up at him, seeing nothing but a dark...something, it was blurry, it had no face. The pain became too much again, her head throbbing as the blood scent grew stronger, feeling a trail of cold seep through her fur, down from up near her ear down towards her cheek. "...H-hurt..." She rasped, her body trembling and causing more and more waves of pain to crash over her. At least....at least it wasn't cold anymore.
