Paws kissed the earth in an odd dancing matter as the sand between her toes burned her delicate pads. She had never been in the desert before, and the vast sea of yellow was starting to play tricks on her mind. Not to mention the sweltering heat was taking its toll. She was starting to see mirages, mostly ones of her mother, who was taunting her to come closer- but every time she galloped toward the wavy outline, it was gone. Ears pinned back in frustration as salmon colored tongue caressed her cracked lips. She was so dehydrated and need liquid release. Brain worked to process how long she had been lost in the dunes, but she couldn't recall how many days ago she had ended up here. What day was it? Three, four, maybe five? She wasn't sure. Pools of blue frantically swooped from left to right. Something was close, an from the scents wafting across her nose, it smelt like water. Her head turned sharply as a voice tantalized her senses. "Liiiiibberrrttyyyy.... Oooovveeerrrr hheeerrreeee." Her mothers voice rang within her ears, as if she was standing right next to her, but when she looked, her mother was no where to be found. "Heeerreeeee" There. Off in the distance she could see large figures that almost looked like trees. There was a cluster of them, and they looked odd, because she was used to seeing only pine trees. Was her mother leading her to help? She sure hoped so. Sand flew behind her as she used her last amount of strength to gallop toward the oasis. It seemed so close, yet the farther she ran, the farther away it seemed to be getting. Her vision tunneled, and before she could reach twelve or so feet from the shade, she collapsed. Her vision blurred, then, everything went black. Speech Thought Others |
