Life Ain't Always Beautiful

Sirius' words crushed her heart, and the ghost of a smile that lingered on her lips faded. They buried their mother, her children could never be innocent to the world again.

He was continuing, fabricating a story of coverups for her benefit. Willing her to be alive, dangling before her hope that she refused to grasp at. Who could have done this, pre-planned such an elaborate capture? Why take her? Zee's head shook slightly, though she did not argue with him. Arguing always brought pain, and although Sirius had never intentionally raised his paw to hurt her, she could not rule out this being some cruel trick.

Exhaustion began to creep up on her, and she found herself speaking aloud. "Could you find me my coat?" The fluffy, 'winter cheetah' pelt Sirius had gifted her, had made into a plushy-lined armor. The keepsake had been stripped from her not long after she arrived here. Her companions too, she'd seen no sign of, though she assumed they were dead. "I'm tired." There was the risk that once he was out of the door, he'd vanish and the world would reset. The blood would evaporate, her captors return. While she yearned for his company, it would be better to dispel the illusion sooner rather than later... and should he remain, at least she'd be warm.
