Big Salmon Lake A far green country.

Ooh, another thread for me to enjoy :)) Also, hope you don't mind making this happen after Sage has returned to Phantom Hollow :)

The widow was slowly beginning to fall back into the dark hole in her soul that craved her sanity. First she had thought it was a mix between grief, stress and her being tired, but it was beginning to become clearer and clearer that she just wasn't sane without someone to keep her away from the demons. It had been Cogitemus that had broken her shell, a thing no-one had ever tried but Avalon. But Avalon hadn't done it in the same way as Cog. The dark male back at her former pack had silenced the voices in her head with friendship, while Cogitemus had used lust, love. Little had she known then that he would leave her without saying goodbye. Even though she craved for one to drive the demons away again, she had sworn never to fall in love again. Never, ever ever.

Another long day had started and Malice was at the borders again. All the way she was marking the borders she was chuckling softly, licking her lips when thinking about what could've happened to Cogitemus. Perhaps he had been attacked, now wounded and slowly dying. Maybe he had eaten a poisonous herb, now rotting into the ground. All she could hope for is that he was dead, and if he wasn't, he would come back to Moonlit Hills only to be killed by Malice herself. The borders were done sooner than she had planned, leaving her with some free time. Perhaps she would hunt today, but she wasn't in the mood to taste blood right now. She wanted to get out of here, maybe travelling the same way she had done before. Yeah, that seemed... fun.

Malice left the borders when she saw the stream going south, following it all the way to the first big lake. She stopped for a moment to drink, but she didn't want to waste daylight. After trotting a bit, she came across a rich forest. She could go around, but why not just walk straight through the bushes with needles and all? Yep, that sounded the most stupid, so she went in. It took her a full hour or so to get through it and afterwards pulling out the thorns and needles that had made her feel delicious pain. She licked her little wounds clean and started running. She wanted to get as far as possible today, farther than the day she had met someone from Moonspear. The fait smell of pack to her left was a bit threatening, but it didn't stop her. She saw a lake in the distance, and that would be the point where she would stop. 

She came closer and closer, but stopped when seeing someone who looked awfully familiar. Burke? What the hell was he doing all the way out here? Ohh, Buuurrkeee! She called out in a wicked voice, her insanity pushing her fear in a corner of the back of her head. But upon coming closer, she saw this wolf had a tail... This wasn't her role model at all. Oooh, you ain't Burke, are you now? She said, making her way closer to the somewhat younger male. She kept her distance though, still having some sense somewhere in her twisted mind.

Well, this became longer than I had planned XD
