It Was Written In Blood

*Eliana* · 09-25-2016, 12:42 AM

It was nearly midnight when a dark figure pulled itself from an abandoned den long since left behind by one of the previous packs that had once resided here. The moon's presence loomed overhead illuminating everything with a ghostly glow. Stars sparkled radiantly overhead and yet the creature's crimson gaze wouldn't give them a second glance. She had far more important things to focus on than letting her head get lost in clouds. Nature was the least of her concerns.

Eliana had tried so hard to allow her brother to leave like he'd wanted. She'd come to the resolve that she'd stay behind to help care for the pups in her dead sister's wake. She found that she couldn't just simply abandon their family in their time of need, but she understood his reasons for needing to leave. After all the events that had transpired, the horrible deed he'd done, she knew him staying was nearly impossible and nothing she could do would change his mind.

That had been a week ago.

All it took was a few days for her resolve to crumble into dust. After three days she'd felt stir crazy. Her mind constantly drifted to Elias and by the next day she'd already decided to leave. Without any notion as to where she was going, she took off after his fading scent trail. She couldn't be without him and she highly doubted he could be without her. Who else was going to look after him when his beast unleashed its havoc on the world? No - she couldn't allow him to be alone in the world.

She was close to him by now. It's take her three days of starving herself and traveling far past the limits of her body to be able to catch up, but she was getting there. Every day his scent grew just a little bit fresher and each day her hopes of finding him increased. She wasn't sure what lay in her future, but she didn't mind the looming darkness of it. So long as she was around him it didn't matter.

His scent led to an ashen place with a mountainous terrain and a volcano resting right in the middle of it all. Her crimson gaze rested on it as she came to a halt at the base and she observed as smoke billowed from the top. Tiny flecks of ash rained down like freshly falling snow and coated her with them giving her an amusing appearance. She hadn't been around the volcano before to know that it typically wasn't like this so she thought it was as natural as a passing rain storm.

She turned away from it and then headed towards one of the poisonous streams that traveled though the mountain range. Lia knew better than to drink from them so they were ignored as she followed his scent. It was here that they became mixed up and confused and her nose wrinkled at the scent of another female. Had he come into contact with someone else? Whoever it was they didn't seem to be here now. On the other hand, Elias' scent seemed to be plastered all over the place and she couldn't make heads or tails of which direction she should take. So she paused, letting her rump lower to the ground, as she sat an an intersection of scents. Indecision consumed her as she stared at the invisible trails and ultimately she was lost. Where did she go from here?
