-- the longest of nights

the horrors of the night melt away under the warm glow of survival of the day

The black female found herself wandering Valhallan lands once more. As was becoming more common after she had been separated from her brothers, Claire was on her own, wandering by herself once more. It was strange for a wolfess who had been all but joined at the hip to her brothers before this moment, but it seemed that they were a little bit more willing to let her do her own thing when she was surrounded by other wolves. It was the best of both worlds; she got a little bit of freedom, and she didn't have to leave her brothers to get it.

The warm summer night had found Claire sleepless yet again. Nightmares had torn her form the grasps of sleep for what seemed like the thousandth time, and even the thought of trying to get back to sleep was distasteful to the dainty wolfess. She could handle one more night without sleep, right? Maybe soon she would be exhausted enough that the water closing over her head would not plague her dreams, waking her up in a panic, feeling as she had when she'd slipped beneath the water. It always took her a few terrifying seconds to reorient herself and realize that she could actually breathe; that she wasn't in danger of dying.

Trying to get back to sleep after that just seemed foolish. Claire wasn't going to invite any more nightmares upon herself. So instead of even trying, the black female set off, wandering aimlessly through Valhalla's territory. Night still hung heavy in the air, and the sky remained dark above Claire's head, but it was perhaps not so late that there would be no other wanderers.
