Greatwater Lake don't you forget about me

set after peitro's death in this thread... tagging just in case you wanna pop in @Malice ;)

She failed. She failed. Blood. Never before was she so affected by a death in her years of existence. Not even when the Dark Queen died, Meldresi. Because she had lived a full and well life. Peitro was just a boy. Blood. Death. A meek little teen, sure to be just like his father, but no. She could not believe that this was fate, that some higher power has claimed his time on the earth was done. No, she would not.. she refused to believe. It was some stupid cat. She always hated cats. But she had promised. She promised. 

He was too young. 

She choked down a sob as she neared the lake, unknowing that by doing so she violated some boundary treaty between them and Moonhips. She didn't care. Burke could at least go on, and also unknowing to her, straight into the awaiting arms of his lover. Oh, how she would scorn at that if she knew. He had left her, what, like she didn't have feelings?! She didn't care about that. The pack could take care of themselves. Instead, she passed that command down to Kove, or Cicero, or whoever was there to pick up the pieces. She was in no state of mind to take control. She shivered, not from the cold, but from her own fear. There was always a cat. Everywhere. A cat waiting in the shadows to get her while she wasn't looking. 

It would come and swallow her whole.
