I don't wish to be buried alone, but I will be

*Azalea* · 06-03-2014, 08:05 PM

Azalea sat with her head hung. Death was a dark cloud that rode low over her pack. She couldn't imagine that was going on in the other packs, already too consumed by her own.

Illness was everywhere, wolves were dying.

DYING.

There was an unpleasant lump in her throat, she felt so useless. When a howl sounded out Azalea's eyes grew wide and her amber eyes scanned the sky like she might see the sound travel. Lately howling or any noise had seemed to bad news and right now that sound was coming from a friend. Vahva.

She didn't think, she just ran. Ran and ran and ran. Azalea had never been to Vahva's den but she found it easy enough though in her blind haze was tripping over everything. Of course she was in the den, Azalea cringed at the thought alone. Fuck dens. Fuck holes in the ground. Fuck everything, actually. This was not the first den she had jumped down recently and honestly she was starting to feel like a harbinger of death.

She found Vahva wheezing out words on the floor, her coat a mess. "Want to thank her for everything she has done. For even caring for a sad soul like mine that was destroyed in a fire lit by kings. I want to thank Azalea, Chrysanthe, the two of them were friends dare I say in the least. I wish I could have done Valhalla better, and that I wished I wouldn't have been so weak. If this is god punishing me then so be it, at least I will be able to see my mother again. And my bastard lineage won't be able to be mocked anymore among those of my walker heritage. I love you all, Valhalla, even if you haven't known me. I want you to forgive me for all that I have done. I bid my farewells to this world. And dare I say, Goodbye."

Azalea choked on emotion as Vahva spoke, even mentioning her specifically. Damnit, Vahva, don't go. Don't go." The words that came out felt cruel to say, with her friend suffering as she was. Her words did not halt though and when they finally did it was with a final sigh of breath.

"God damnit!" She leaned over her lifeless friend, a paw stroking her blue mane and eyes full of water. Her ears pulled back. "You're released from the horrors of this world, Vahva. Live long with your mother, become another star in the night sky. The brightest star in the whole sky, all blue and red and black and white. Everyone will notice you, appreciate you, admire you. I only wish there had been more time."

Azalea sobbed openly, a terribly broken sound before she turned and fled the den. She sat outside of it with her head still hung, tail curled around her. Was this the story of her life? So much sorrow and pain. Her stomach twisted, throat growing hot. Azalea stood up and walked a few steps before relieving herself of her last meal after a few good "hurp" noises.
