Stone Circle This life isn't romantic or free, there's no path to anything that makes any sense

Arlette had been by Kaito's side, and had not moved. She had tugged the bodies of the two pups by his side and she was just staying next to him. It was her little family and she had lost it all in one night. She refused to leave them and it wasn't like she was able to move much. Her wounds ached every time she moved. She had thick crusting gashes on her neck down, one on her shoulder. The bite mark at the jugular was quite deep but it seemed to have missed an artery since she was still here. Left behind. All her injuries were on one side of body as the cougar had pinned her down and almost suffocated her.

If she was not sleeping, Arlette was staring into nothing. She wondered why she had been scared of dying when the cougar choked her with its grip. If she had known she rather would have died. Perhaps a dark thought, but she had many the last few days. Her ear twitched when someone cleared his throat. Arlette just turned her head away from whoever was approaching. An ever soft wince as the turn stretched her wet pelt on her neck. Even with the rains she had not moved. Many had checked on her, but she didn't want to communicate, especially not to her Mother. She had a feeling it was her checking up on her or leaving her something.
