Blacktail Deer Plateau It costs to live the way you want.

The thought of death earlier would have been scary but now, she was living death or so it had felt like it. Now she had felt like if her heart had stopped then so would the hurt, the raspy breathes, and the mucous pools. All hope had been given up by the wolfdog, that was until she had heard footsteps. Too light to be Kavik or Grezig, Liri was the only other that had popped into her head. They had stopped before her den and then padded off. Hope was lost again.

Elixir closed her eyes tight, liquid still pouring out from them. With every breath she croaked a bit of pain out. Whoever it was that came to the door she hoped would bring some kind of help. This was the kind of thing no one wished on their worse enemy. 

She laid still, a cough escaped every once in a while no matter how hard she tried to suppress it. The pawsteps she heard earlier came echoing back like a tease. At first she thought it might just be a hallucination, something else she would have to live with, but no wait they came closer... Elixir opened an eye tiredly to see the pale woman and some herbs. Her voice was slightly mumbled as her ears felt horribly congested. "I'll try" she breathed raspy and tiredly like she had just ran 10 miles without a break. 

The ebony girl moved from lying on her side to sitting on her belly paws extended out. In between her paws were the herbs she were to eat. It wasn't easy but slowly she moved her tongue out and slipped up the herbs, chewing like a 20 year old cow who was about to kick the bucket. After the wolfdog swallowed her eyes traveled to Liri's, "I'm sorry.".
