Death is saving me

Jumbled. Clouded. Confusion. Fear. Hatred. Confusion. Terror. Confusion. Thoughts were hard to form and cling to. And who were these wolves just staring at her like she was some sort of...of... Whyyyy were they there?

The thin woman lay curled at the back of the cell, not on the pallet of furs, but by the grate that covered the rushing, underwater stream. The steady sound of the moving water helped drown out the static in her brain. There was no stopping the static these days. In between the long stretches of static might be a face or the blip of a memory, but most of the time, it was just static, instinct and autopilot.

Different wolves had come down the stairs to stare at her. She didn't know them, she didn't like this, but she was powerless against it. Sometimes they tried to talk to her. Sometimes she acknowledged them, other times she simply stared at the wall. Like now. She didn't recognize the swimming faces of the wolves that were looking at her, so she had her back to them, looking at the wall.

It was the howl that did it. The call to arms. It pulled away the shroud that had encased her mind an Resin blinked for the first time in a while. The voices of Sirius and Tamsyn sounded and they prepared to run from the room. The urgency in Ulric's tone... something about it made her uneasy. There was something wrong.

Pushing off of the wall, Resin slammed her emaciated form against the bars much like she had many times since she'd lapsed into the final stages. "Let me out," she spoke clearly, in her own voice. "Let me help." At that moment, she seemed very much like her old self. Her words were clear and direct. Forceful in the manner of an alpha and not of a dying woman. That golden eye burned into both of them, demanding her freedom so that she could carry out her duty as a member of the pack.
