Too Late To Make A Deal With The Devil

The crushing weight had been with her a long time. Maybe not so unseen by those around her. She knew very few wolves very well or more so did they know her. Only one. And he was right, it would never be enough. No secrets.

If only subtly, Relm had made her goodbyes. Closure, though maybe not at all really. She wanted it to feel that way. A little on her end at least, maybe none on everyone else. Time would tell. Her mind was somewhere else to even consider their feelings... no that wasn't true. It hurt a lot to think of who she was leaving behind. But they all had someone to share their lives with. She, was nothing. In her mind at least. Something to be forgotten in time.

She had been away from the pack a couple days, trying to drink away any bit of thought or emotion. There were a lot despite how much she held back from everyone. It was only finding the right time at this point, though she knew after so long someone would come looking for her. It had to be done soon. As much as she wanted to let go, it was harder than she had anticipated. Not for herself of course, that was just her way of life.

It was late night when she stumbled down to the rocky shores of the sunken volcano. She didn't know if she wanted to be far away where no one would find her, or somewhere nearby where they would know what happened to her. Here it was like fate would take her one way or another. It would be out of her own will. A mind full of static, she waited. Like she was trying to really think everything through, as if she didn't want to do it at all. But she was in no more clear mind to turn back now. Only everything bad in her life was surfaced. Not pushing her but it was easy to let go of what she held onto.

In time she took a large dose of the sedative she traded for, and stepped into the cool waters of the ocean. Feeling numb through every part it was like she didn't even notice she fell asleep. That peaceful end. If there was suffering she never felt it. At least she knew how to do one thing right for herself. How wrong she could be, but it was too late.
