This is Aaron's sister so he is definitely going to be here in this thread but I assume it's All Welcome to those that might find her!

"Love conquers all," he murmured into her ear. Those were not his words. Or were they? She could hardly remember anymore; time was a nonsensical clump of faces and words that spilled into one another like paint sliding off the canvas. She laughed and he cried...their manic harmony rising as a single chorus to the ink splattered night sky. They sang in discord of one another, competing for the loving glance of the full moon above, and when they both realized that neither of them were worthy they fall into one another with a maddened sense of despair.
 
They were lost.
 
Now it was just she that was lost.
 
Emily's audits flicked forward feebly as the tendrils of Aaron's scent sank into the recesses of her nostrils...the rattling of her breath an uneven cadence of whimpering that fled her lips without permission. Her voice was without a master now; it called out into the darkening evening that foretold a night that might become her last. The whimpers rose on occasion, sharpening into shrill cries of pain, and their rhythms were concurrent with the stumbling that put too heavy a burden on her not yet healed shoulder. It was like a hot poker, stirring her from the complacent haze that was starvation, and she used its fierce sting to goad her forth through the day and on into these long hours before the dawn of nightfall.
 
It was seemingly forever to her before she could no longer go on. She fought, possibly harder that she'd ever done so before, to walk onward...but in the end it was the lonesomeness of her struggle that depleted her will to endure. She collapsed a half mile or so from the kingdom of her brother and gave a shudder that drew her legs to her for a meager sense of warmth. The whimpers dulled into soft whines and then they too faded to shallow, hardly discernible breaths.
 
She waited then for the moon to rise and look upon her with the love she craved at her very first breath. She waited for the moon to bring her home.
