PARADISE IS SO FAR AWAY

Who will be there to take my place when I'm gone, you'll need love, to light the shadows on your face The scenery changed to her liking, night, day, mountains or forest. There was no real form to this place. A sigh slipped from between ebony slips as a familiar forest shot up around her. This place was all to familiar. It was the birth place of her children. Sapphire eyes scanned the ground, wondering if maybe she would come across the den she gave birth in. And sure enough, just to her left, there it was. Depression caused her narrow shoulder to sag, sadness aging her fine features. To think one of her boys was dead, and the others missing. At least missing was better than dead. Eyes watered, filling with unshed tears.
The sound of incoming paws would not faze her. No one could harm her here. A painfully familiar scent filled her nostrils next. "He's dead." The words fell from her mouth in a hoarse whisper. Petite bodice trembled with sobs threatening to break her resolve. She would not yet turn, her gaze fixed on the shadow of the den. Memories flooded her ruthlessly. Her children growing up, their first steps, first words, the beginning of their personality.
"He's dead!" Her voice rose, high with panic as she finally whirled to meet his gaze. Did he know? Had he known Vixe was dead and just not told her? Sapphire gaze searched his face frantically, searching for answers. She sucked in a shaky breathing, attempting to get control of her emotions, trying to fight the sobs that bit at her lips. |
