THEORY CAVALIERE-DESTRUCTION ______________________________Her throat burned from the smoke that she had inhaled. In the panic of the fire, Theory had simply run for the nearest source of water that was familiar to her - Monument Rapids. By the time she made it to the shores, tears were streaming from her eyes and she was covered head-to-paw in soot. The young girl looked almost completely black, save for the white markings beneath her eyes that were made visible by her tear streaks. Along with her physical pains (her paws were blistered, she was having difficulty breathing, and her tail had been badly singed), Theory carried with her a deep, deep shame. When the fire had come, instinct had overridden her entire body. She didn't stop to look for Verse, who would inevitably needed additional help to escape, or any of her other siblings. The smoke had made it impossible to think. Her only drive had been to escape. She reached the placid shores of Monument Rapids, a good mile away from where the waters got too quick to enjoy. Theory collapsed on the sand and dragged herself a little further to the water, drinking until she was almost sick. No matter how much water she drank, she could still taste the smoke. Now that she was safe - and alone - she began to cry. Her sobs were wild and ugly and erratic. "Verse!" She yelled, her voice hoarse, "Daddy! Motif! Poem..." she paused and coughed until she threw up a thin, sour bile. "Noir..." Theory knew better than to call for her mother. Tana was gone, and she was alone. |
