Phantom Hollow Well I'll be darned

They didn't need Sage to survive, to brighten their lives. If she abandoned them, she could, but with hard feelings. She would leave them alone to die after being crowned beta only weeks ago. That was kind of a shitty move, thought Malice.

She snorted loudly. I can still protect, I can still do things. She replied angrily. Don't you give up on me just yet, boy, for as long as I can still move I will be here for you all. She didn't know if that was a lie or not, especially not with the feelings she had for Burke. 

She got up, her back aching, yet she could still walk alright. I'm going out for food. She informed, passing him on her way out.
