Hollow.
That's how she felt. There wasn't any sleep for her because her dreams were plagued with Zephyr gnashing his teeth, Maman falling into dirt with imagined screams and now they were filled with her father. He didn't yell at her or scream out, but he greeted her with warmth like always and every time as she was about to press herself to his fur she'd be dragged away by some invisible force screaming for that one last hug. Once more she was a wisp of a thing getting thinner and thinner because Dart had never returned at all leaving her without news of Abaddon or a helper to seek out prey easier. Even if food had been dropped in front of her she didn't think she'd eat, she was starting to realise that the longer she went without eating the more she slept and the nightmares were worth the glimpse she caught of Papa every so often when her subconscious favored her.
That's what she'd been doing under the shadey shelter of some brush and a fallen tree that she'd taken to sleeping under, nowhere to go and unable to walk away from the place she'd last seen her father. He was there in the dream but the voice that came from his maw to greet her was wrong and she snapped awake gasping and scrambling up clumsily and with trouble to stand bristling and at instant defense "I'll hurt yo-" she started to threaten before catching sight of the she wolf heart lurching into her throat. Fur like snow, grey shoulders that darkened a little further down, grey tail tip...when she turned around she'd know but for now Lainie stared her tail drooped at her hinds emerald orbs going wide as she didn't dare breath.
