You do what you have to (Pack Meeting)

*Cifer* · 07-10-2013, 01:50 PM

Cifer listened quietly and attentively to the speech. He glanced back at Crusade, offered her a soft nuzzle near the beginning of what Gargoyle had to say, but his mood soon changed. Quickly too. Things went sour too fast. Teal eyes narrowed as Gargoyle shared what he had discovered. The pride he'd felt in his family making it this far vanished and instead it was replaced by something he hadn't felt in a while. Something that washed over him like ice and held him in its frozen grip.

Fear. He felt fear.

Aging white body quivered and eyes glazed over. A pained growl left his lips. He had tried not to think of it for so long. He'd put it off as a distant memory and tried to forget the agonizing pain that had come with that eruption. Everything had gone crazy that day. There had been a tension in the air that everyone could feel, but it seemed like no one could pinpoint what was wrong. Then everything fell to chaos. The ground began to shake and soon ashes could be soon from Mt. Animi. It was completely and utterly frightening. They were so closed to it.... It was a wonder more of them hadn't died. The pain of having to endure that all. It was too much to handle all at once. The pain in his lungs from inhaling so much ash. Being separated from the rest of the pack by lava as it seemed to rain down from the sky and ooze from the very pores of the earth. Ash fell like snow and coated the ground and the heat was immense. Whatever snow they had melted. It didn't even have time to sizzle. Burns. There were so many burns. His body had been scarred by the heat alone, imagine if he'd actually touched the boiling liquid fire. And so much fear. He'd never run from anything so fast in his life. How could you fight with something like nature? It wasn't natural. How could a volcanic eruption be natural? It was too chaotic, too evil.

The male shuddered, his body quaking at the memories. Reality and memories meshed together and he let out a pained gasp. He couldn't breathe. He couldn't breathe at all. Jaws remained agape as he tried to soak up as much oxygen as he could, but it was painful. But it burned. The ashes. All he was inhaling was ashes and smoke again. He could feel the searing of his flesh again. The agonizing pain of it all as hell rained down upon them on the earth. What was real? He couldn't tell. This felt so real. It was happening all over again. They were so close to it this time, they were gonna die. They were all gonna die.

"No no no no no no no no no. Not again. I can't do this again."

He didn't notice as his owl companion lifted to the sky clearly confused as to what the hell was going on with his friend. He didn't notice that all of it was in his head. He was reliving the experience, except it was happening here. Why was it happening here? What had they done to deserve this? With that he made an attempt to bolt, tail tucked between his legs, eyes widened with terror, and ears pinned against his head fur bristling. They had to leave! They were gonna die. All of them. Dead. He couldn't take it. Not twice.
