"Look look," he exclaimed excitedly with the frantic stamping of his two front paws. "It's here! It's here!" And lo it was! The mystery beyond the horizon. The reckoning. They could actually see it now...and they both knew an important moment of their lives had arrived. They shared an anxious glance before looking upon the dark cloud that brought with it a mystery they wanted to unravel. She was scared. He wasn't. His eyes, always so warm, sparkled and GOD did she feel the squeezing of her heart as they bumped shoulders and sprinted into the wilderness.
 
There was a distinct buzzing in her ears. It was coming. A spear of fright pierced her heart and she rose from her place at death's door with a sudden lurch of her shoulders that snapped her head upright. She was crying out then, tears pricking at the corners of her wide eyes, and at first it was not Aaron that she saw but the shadowed face of him and her heart was not squeezing then but thudding hard against her bony breast in what was stark terror.
 
"YOU!" she beckoned of her voice with as much intimidating bravado her frail body could muster. But the haze drifted, her mind settling back on track, and her features softened considerably as her brother's familiar features sharpened into reality. "Y-you..." came the quiet mewl before she broke free of her stupor and began sobbing in relief.
