THE DARKNESS COMES

Elli sensed something was wrong and so she had been looking for the source of the trouble for nearly half an hour when she heard HELP ring as an anthem that she was needed. She ran towards the source, which wasn't far away, to find Roman and Greek. Panic flooded her when she rushed forth to examine the queen. Elli tried to remain calm as she tried to identify the source. The pups. Elli remembered their one encounter in which it was obvious that Roman was with children. "Roman, you're miscarrying." She said in almost a shock. She needed more paws, more paws. She hadn't first handedly dealt with miscarriages... ever. She tried to think up some way to numb the pain. "Greek. I need to run to the closest herb storage for herbs, try and keep her calm. I'm getting her something for the pain but it's too late for me to save them." The pain was evident in her voice. Elli had failed.
