Drowning in a Pool of Regret

She didn't get a break until he brought her to a small stream. He attempted to help her get comfortable, but there was no helping. Her body ached. Everywhere. The sound of trickling water registered vaguely in her mind, along with Kylar's urges for her to drink. It wasn't until cold water hit her face that she realized it. She flinched back at the sudden coldness before she leaned forward, dry tongue making an appearance between parted jaws. It almost hurt the first drink she took, burned her throat. She lapped up water, trying to remember to drink slowly. Leaning back against the massive wolf that sat behind her, eyes drifted shut as his tongue softly cleaned the mat fur on her neck. Audits twitched at the sound of his voice. Though she was certain he was talking to himself. She didn't bother to answer. She didn't know the answer. What had she gotten herself into? She had lost her puppy, watched its bastard father eat it, while laying on the edge of death. She never intended to lose her child. She tossed the herbs Kylar had given her shortly before she left Tortuga. Her entire journey kept her lost in her thoughts. She never felt the pains of hunger, thirst or exhaustion. The dame was by no means suicidal. She would never do that to her kids. Speaking of which, she hoped where okay, gaze drifted back to Kylar, questions in her eyes, mind trying to process words. She needed to get back to them. At nearly a year old, they were capable of caring for themselves and were safe in the territory, but the three rarely listened to her when she said to stay in Tortuga. Worry creased her features. Her brain wanted to get up and go home, see for herself that they were safe, but her body wouldn't move, simply sagged against Kylar. A soft agitated sigh escaped her lips. OOC- okie dokie:) sorry for the short reply :( "Talk here." |
