Death is saving me

Tamsyn had called Sirius back to The Hallows somewhat reluctantly. She didn't want to pull him away from the Armada so soon after he had gone back - and before she had really had time to move past what had happened between them - but Resin had only gotten worse and worse in recent days and she felt like she had to be with her mate in what could be the final days or hours. But she couldn't do it alone. She had tried desperately to just stay in the dungeon, laying across the room from the cell by the fireplace, but any time Resin would leap at the bars or start on a maddened tirade she'd lose what little bravery she had left. She had to have someone by her side to keep her from breaking down again and she didn't want it to be her children. She didn't want them to see Resin like this any more than they had to. She also couldn't take Ulric away from his pack duties now that he was the Aegis. Sirius was the only one she could call on and she was grateful to have his presence by her though this.

She was quiet as she looked at her paws, lingering on the fur by the fireplace. She kept replaying the last conscious moments she had gotten to enjoy with Resin, keeping them firmly in the front of her mind through all of this. Resin had wanted her to remember her as she was and so she would. It was a precious memory that she was grateful that she had gotten to experience so she focused on that instead of the faint ghost of a wolf currently locked in a cell. This wasn't her Resin any more most days, but she felt like she had to be here all the same. She had to be loyal to her mate though everything, down to the very last minute. Perhaps it was just her own way of making up for falling for her weak heart momentarily with Sirius, though she wouldn't admit it.

The world was quiet outside of these stone walls until suddenly Ulric's urgent warning cut through the silence and made her head pop up, her heart immediately hammering in her chest as a rush of adrenaline hit her system. Gods, what now? More saber cats? Her wide, mint eyes went to Sirius before she scrambled to her paws and began moving toward the stairs. "Come on!"
