and they call you crazy?

Quote:

It was so quiet here without the sound of their once grand river rushing along the edge of their boarders. Originally these lands had been chosen because of that river and its ability to protect anyone from flanking them. But the once magnificent river that had carried great trees down it had all but dried up into a trickle that could no longer even sustain life here. They needed rain more than anything else, even if the mountains got some snow or rain and then it melted and was fed down to their river it would help. But here they were, lapping up the trickle of dirty muddy water that ran between the rocks. Zara had made a small pool further upstream, digging out all the larger rocks to make a small hole for the water to flow into them leave. It wasn?t enough but it helped, it was half the reason he female so suited for arctic climates was not yet dead. Some section of her brain that remained logical demanded that she retreat to the shade or do to sunset falls or the rio grande. Any place with more water than this wretched wasteland but the illogical side told her to stay, that this was her home and she couldn?t leave it no matter what. Even if that meant dying here, which it seemed like she was well on her way to. It was almost as though she could hear her brain sizzling in her skull but still she sat, morbid tune flowing from lips as her head lolled about. Eyes couldn't find any reason to focus on any one thing so vision remained fixed on nothing. What was left of her vision that is... Ever since she had returned it had been getting slowly worse. By winter she had no doubt that she would be blind as a bat and relying on all her other senses to carry her around.

She would do her best to make sure that no one ever found out, weakness seemed to mean death here and she wasn't yet ready to let go. Fuck, she planned to kill Kaios before she was completely blind, not that she need her eyes to kill that worthless sack of shit. All he had to do was touch her and she would latch onto him like a leach anywhere she could and rip flesh from bone. Even if she wasn't able to kill him she planned to inflict as much damage as physically possible to with worthless little body, make him useless to any woman ever again and make it so he would never be desired again. It almost frustrated her that Newt would pick such a worthless male, especially one from Tortuga... They were trying to make an alliance with them but instead she took one of their members and made him their alpha... Head lolled once more but this time tune ceased and instead lips curled back into a vicious snarl. But despite the track her mind was on the words that slipped from her lips next were far from what she had expected. Though it would make complete sense to anyone who happened to be watching this pathetic show. "Waaaaatteeeerrr" she seemed to plead though the words came out barely louder then a whisper though her parched lips.

It was laughter that eventually snapped her back to a more lucid state, nose turning promptly to face the direction of the sound. Now who was this little mouse who dared to laugh at her? She couldn't see the form with her deteriorating vision but she could smell a vaguely masculine scent. Kaios? Would he dare come here and taunt her in a time when her seemed to be pulling apart at the edges? She stood slowly, allowing her muscles the proper amount of time needed to bare her weight without wavering or looking weak. Her pace was slow and steady as she moved towards the scent. The laughter was infuriating, though she would later realize that it was the thought of Kaios mocking her that infuriated her the most. Bastard... But soon she came to recognize the scent, Frayer was it? Head lifted slowly and ears pricked curiously as she faced him. Now what was he doing here, watching her like a perv in the bushes... Was she really so much of a sight that he would laugh at her? Not that Frayer's opinion had ever mattered much to the massive female but it made her think for a moment if she truly deserved to be laughed at and what kind of spectacle she made. "Daaarrrrling Fraaay!" She finally purred, lowering her head once more as cheshire grin split across her lips. He had left but he had returned so she had no reason to hunt him down and kill him. Plus he fit in better with Newt's new pack idea then he ever had with their old pack.

There was little grace to the way she moved, everything hinted that it took all her strength just to say on her paws. But still she stalked towards the black brute with that lovely smile splitting across her features. Even when she did try to show a nice smile it was twisted and warped from the missing flesh on the side of her face and always came across rather creepy. The closer she got the more her curiosity rose, she could see that he held something at his side. A cactus? She had lived off them many times in the Outs as a pup but hadn't realized that they grew here. The had their ups and downs those vindictive plants... Though they could save ones life in a pinch they left you more dehydrated then before if you didn't drink enough water afterwards. Right now, though, she didn't even have the strength to go find water and what Fray was bringing would be a life saved. She chuckled as she staggered her way towards him and flopped to her belly before him. She reached out with her nose to poke his, not thinking about or caring that he might snap at her. "Boop" She would say with a chuckle if she touched nooses with him. "Has my knight in shining armor brought me presents?" She purred, belly crawling a bit closer to the life saving plant he had dragged with him. Once again the logical part of her mind told her that it wasn't for her and that he had no reason to share with her. But still she sniffed at it and looked up at him with almost pleading eyes as tail brushed the ground behind her.
