Lost Creek Hollow If you're lost out where the lights are blinding

Wait.  What?

She listened mutely as he told her the news, though she didn't comprehend it the first time through.  Fire.  Separated.  They didn't make it.  Didn't make what?  And her siblings.

Her face blanked as she slowly understood what he'd said, and she shook her head, but her body began to tremble as well.  There was no way dad and mom were gone.  They couldn't be.  

She didnt move away as he went to pull her in, but she didn't move towards it either, mainly because she at first didn't realize it was happening.  Umm.  Ok.  She felt a yawning hole open up beneath her paws, and as she began falling down it, she felt the tears come.  Nope, not okay.

S....Sarah's okay?  She asked, stuttering a bit as a few sobs began forming in her chest.  She tried to hold them in, as hard as she could, but all she could think about was dad and mom, looking the way they'd looked as she left them behind a year ago.  Wishing her luck, but both with a sadness they tried to hide, and the last hugs.  Her dad's strong neck enfolding hers.

With that she lost it, and the sobs she'd been trying to hold back were loosed straight into Terence's fur.
