The End As We Know It

The other female brushed her nose against her, and the sweet gesture calmed her somewhat. It didn't last too long though, her vision was starting to blur more and more. When the other woman spoke it was like through a cave system, and she had to strain to hear her. A huge breath left her lungs as the woman said that she would take her pups, how ever many that they were. She was so thankful that out of all the wolves of Ardent, this creature came to her. Without even knowing her she promised that they would know about love and family. A small smile touched her lips for a moment, quickly fading with the next line of contractions. "Thank you, Carletta Morales, I wish I could repay you in some way," she whispered, her voice growing more and more hoarse. She wouldn't live much longer, she knew that.

When the first pup came out, Carletta placed the whelp against her belly. She lifted her head slightly, looking at the fireball. Her ember eyes widened slightly at the looks of him. He seemed to keep up the family tradition of being an oddball. She couldn't look much longer, her head thumping to the damp ground again. She was almost totally soaked now, the soft rain not seeming to stop. It looked like the sky was crying for her too. Serefina wept, her eyes sliding closed as her body gave one final heave. Her next child came out, her final pup. Again she could not move to clean her, or even see her. She just laid on the ground, as more and more of her life left her. Her once bright eyes were dull, and she kept bleeding. Even though the pups were out, she kept losing blood. It was a slow, painful death. The woman told her that her first one had been a male, big and strong. And that she was being taken by the gods. She didn't believe in gods, but the words were comforting to her. She saw the woman's guilt and shook her head back and forth. "No, it's fine. I just... thank you. For staying, for being the mother to my children." She paused as the breath wheezed out of her lungs, each one more painful than the last. "Can... can you do me one last favor? Can you howl for any Elementas? I... I don't know," she stopped, her breath catching in her throat. She had to stop to catch her breath, each one now causing her pain. "I don't know if my family is here... but... one last goodbye. You know?" Her own words were broken up now, she was pushing her words out with effort now. Her eyes slide closed, her breaths coming out further and further between. Serefina flinched at the pain of her oncoming death, hoping that any family members would get here in time.
