Winters Soothing Kiss

The white wolf was twitching as she walked over the snow, little drops of blood landing easily in the snow. Her once pure white fur was stained with red, mainly around her eyes. The stench of dried blood and sickness filled the air, and she stumbled weakly. It was long before she saw a wolf, stumbling towards the frozen lake. Ballad struggled towards them, but soon twitched and heaved up frothy white liquid, letting out a low whimper afterwards. Finally, she saw that it was a pup, and actual tears, mixed with blood, rolled down her face, cleaning her fur a little. The girl moved closer, and licked the pup softly, the cold making her shiver. Why was it a pup? It could have been a grown wolf, and Ballad wouldn't have felt as bad as she did now. Finally, the girl curled around the pup, trying to keep it as warm as it could be for now, while letting out tiny sobs. She wasn't sure if she'd even make it through this sickness, if any wolf would make it through this sickness, but she would help this pup the best she could. She wanted to close her eyes, but the blood in her eyes wouldn't let her, and she whimpered.

Even though she wasn't a part of Ebony yet, a wolf said she needed treatment. So, because of that, she had assumed that she could come into pack territory until this was all over. But the white wolf was planning to join Ebony, when she got better, so she could be in a pack. A soft, wheezing sigh escaped her jaws and she looked down at the pup, before whispering something in his ear. "Don't worry, little one." Easier said than done. Even though she wasn't sure what the pup's parents would think about a strange wolf around their pup, she lowered her head on it anyway.
