when the whole world trembles and shakes

*Alpine* · 03-31-2014, 11:22 PM

A new cry sounded out amongst the rubble and Alpine, so caught up in his fear for the pup was shocked to see the Beta wolf materialise on the other side of Erion and call out their names. He blinked up at him, dazed and almost incomprehensible of the reality. How and when had this other wolf joined them? The blood pounded a steady rythem in his ears and he was finding it increasingly harder to think and concentrate, he blinked past bleary eyes at the other wolf as the words slowly pounded access to his mind. Surreal spoke of a companion and Alpine struggled to make the connection. He had not known Surreal had a bird companion and his eyes blinked confusion at him still. He must have looked half incompetent. It was the pain of Erion that threw back to sanity and with a gasp he watched the young wolf try to rise. He heard the shriek and that same sense of helpless he despised washed over him and he hated himself for it.

He was going to learn healing, the second he was free of this damn nightmare he was going to find a healer and do whatever it took to learn the art, he would fetch and carry for the healer for a year if that was what it took. He was shaken again as eyes fell upon Alpine, he could, see the fear and concern and love in those eyes and it shook him to the core. He couldn't let anything happen to this gentle wolf who boosted a nature so worth saving. ?Dont worry about me, Erion, I'm fine. And so too will you be? He promised in a soft, ferocious tone. And then the onslaught of the young wolfs words flowed free and Alpine's eyes held an oddly burning sensation as he lowered himself closer to the pup, moving to draw his tounge along the others cheek bone. ?Shh Erion, don't worry about me. I should not have delayed, and I am so sorry. You will be a warrior, I promise you. Erani said yes, and I will make it so? He words where gentle, and he hoped that would give the other something else to think about, to take his mind off the pain. In the mean time, Alpine's chest heaved with the weight of heart... it was his fault Erion was out here, and in this mess? The other had been looking for him? His heart flared with a sudden self-hatred before he quelled it, placing it aside to examine another, less precarious time.

The sudden tremors, the aftershock of the earthquake started up, he turned his eyes upwards at the collapsing ceiling, at the stones that shook and threatened to seal their fate. He gasped, his eyes flying back to the injured pup, but the other was gone. He was limping, struggling and moving further into the darkness. He tensed, ready to spring forward when a handful of stones bounded into his face. He gave a silent cry as they tore into his forehead, aggregating a smaller wound that had started there, and the tiny trickle of blood that had had trickled down his nose bleed more freely. He shook his head, reeling with shock for a short moment. He clenched his jaw and with a bound Alpine was there beside Erion. He gave no sign of his injury, and hoped in the darkness the other would not see it. He did not want to stress him further. He nudged his head gently into Erion's shoulder. ?Lean against me, quickly Erion, we can do this, we just need to move further from the collapse? Least it bury us with it, was what he did not say as he moved to aid the other wolf, nudging him to put his weight on Alpine. He had almost forgot Surreal in the madness, his first and foremost thought to the child he had vowed to teach and protect.
