Shira's POV
If my last story had gained a slight drizzle, then this one gained a full blown hurricane. Everyone, Easpecially Solstice, looked sick and shocked. Even Diego was on the verge of puking.
After a few minutes, Peaches spoke. "So...your father, Trevor, killed your mother, and ripped her apart infront of you?"
I nodded. "Well, he didn't exactly know I was there. But yeah. Yeah he did..."
Louis pressed himself closer to her. "That's...that's awful..." He said sympathetically, not knowing what else to say.
I just sighed. Like with the other story, telling this one had left me feeling a mixture of releif and pain. Releif that I could tell it to people I trust, but pain in remembering things I'd rather forget. Suddenly feeling exhausted, I leaned int Diego's shoulder. He put a paw around me, but didn't say anything.
I looked over at Solstice, who so far hadn't said anything. I tried to nudge her to her paws, but she fell back over as soon as she stood up. "Solstice?" I asked, beginning to worry.
"I always knew our father was horrible." She whispered, barley audible. "But I never imagined he'd do something like THAT!"
I got up and carried her over to where I was sitting next to Diego. Without saying anything else, I gently started grooming her, like mother had done before she went totally Koo-Koo for cocoa puffs.
"Is there more?" She whispered. "What happened after...that?"
I paused in washing her and glanced around the den. The other's nodded, and Eddie gave me a thumbs up.
"Okay. This should be it. For the big things, anyways." I said. "Here we go..."
I don't know how long I've been running, and I didn't really care. I pushed through bushes and trampled the undergrowth. I picked up the scent of prey more then once, but never stopped. In my shocked state, I probably wouldn't be able to catch much anyway. And I didn't need food. Adreniline was keeping me going.
After a while, I finally collapsed. Sometime during my flight, snow had begun to fall and a thin layer of fluffy white covered the ground. I tried to stand up, but my paws wouldn't move. Instead, i felt a slow, numbing sensation slowly devouring my lower half. My vision became blurry until I couldn't see. With any luck, the snow will bury me before I come to. I thought grimly. Then I relaxed and let the darkness take me.
A/N: Sorry 'bout the short chapter. There shouldn't be a very long wait for the next one. Anywo, ope you enjoyed anyways.
Sianii Out!
Peace!
