when the whole world trembles and shakes

ooc;; anyone feel free to pick him up XD He didn't understand any of it, didn't understand what was going on or why this was happening to him of all people. Not that he would wish this on anyone else but he didn't want to be here, he didn't want to be in the middle of this. The dark was all consuming, but to add to it he screwed his eyes shut, dust and pebbles clattering down around him. A few would ping off him, one or two opening shallow wounds on his body but nothing serious. By this point his mind had turned off, unable to comprehend the unnatural angle at which his left hind leg was bent. He didn't know how long the world shook, how long he was down there before silence began to settle around him to the point where it was almost deafening, maddening. He should be screaming, crying for help but all he could manage was tiny whimpers that would bubble up from his throat, barely audible even in the echoing silence. But then sound would begin around him, a clattering of stones that made the tiny pup only draw closer into himself in fear of another shock. But instead warmth would cover his face, and slowly he would squint and open one eye. Tail would give one thump against the ground, the only recognition that he saw Alpine there. But as he spoke the pup would shuffle, trying to shift himself up so he could balance on his forepaws in an upright position. The went as far as trying to fold his hind legs behind him. Though one moved the other nearly twitched before that red how pain arched through his body once more. And then he screamed. Though it was more of a shrill shriek that lasted a few seconds before drifting off into whimpers once more. "My? My leg?" He whimpered, eyes rolling back in his head as if he was trying to look back to see his leg but he was too terrified to lift his head in case the the pain came back. "Are? are you okay?" His voice trembled violently but suddenly his eyes would snap to Alpine as if all at once his pain and fear were outweighed by a worry for his friend. But then there was more noise, more stones clattering down and again he tried to curl himself up into a ball, everything moving but his injured leg. But again it wasn't an aftershock but another familiar face. Like with Alpine tail would give one weak thump against the ground in recognition but he refused to move even his head this time. "Surreal, are you okay? I smell blood..." He murmured softly, finally trying to lift his head and succeeding, slowly shifting his left shoulder over until it was placed to prop himself up. No pain that time. That was a bonus. And for a short time he forgot about his leg as widened eyes looked between Alpine and Surreal and their various injuries. He noted a few splatters of blood on his own body but that was nothing in comparison to them. His eyes were brimming with tears as he looked up at them, not understanding Surreal's urgency or need to get them out of there right now. Instead tear brimmed eyes would turn up to Alpine. "I'm so sorry! Your hurt because of me. I just wanted to see you, I thought maybe you forgot about me and I just wanted to be a warrior!" Words came out in a rush as he stared up at the white male he had come to idolize so much, eyes pleading for him to understand that he hand't wanted any of this to happen to any of them. It was like all his fears came true all at once, pebbles began to cascade down around them once more, dropping slowly at first but as the tremors increased so did the size of the stones dropping down around them. Mouth would become unhinged as skull tipped back to look up at the slowly fading sky above them, all he could do was watch as larger stones began to fall, the walls themselves beginning to tremble and shake. "RUN! RUN! WE HAVE TO GO!"He screamed shrilly, as if all of a sudden he remembered his voice. Unlike before when the fear had paralyzed him now all he could think of was Surreal and Alpine and what would happen to them if they didn't know. But there was nothing he could do for them, nothing he could do to drag them out of harms way. All he could do was try and make himself less of a hinderance, forepaws pulling himself slowly away from the adults and further into the darkness. He didn't understand what was going on, all he knew was that he had to get out of there. He had to be strong for them and try his best not to get in their way. The pain was immense, almost unbearable but he had could do nothing other the grit his teeth and bear with it. He tried to stand, tried to struggle up to three paws but he didn't have the balance on the shaking ground. All he could do was drag himself. |
