Ocean's Breath Plateau i.xii : who was found dead on the phone

{dogs}{part one, episode twelve}

---

Every step felt like one deeper into the Void. She was exhausted, the blood pounding in her ears--the blood clotting slowly on the shredded one--she stumbled along, a broken wraith. She followed the brown-hued man, still wondering whether she could trust him. But what did it matter anymore? Could she really trust anyone?

Could she really trust anyone other than herself not to break her heart?

They ended up on a wind-swept plateau, the landscape dotted liberally with trees, and the girl half-collapsed in one of these copses, panting. Hey. . . she called out weakly, trying to get his attention. Hey, wait. . .can we stop for a bit?

Maegi couldn't even do the fugitive thing right. She had grown tired within the first day. (In her defense, she had just been through some heavy shit.)

Just. . .just for a little bit, she pleaded, eyelids fluttering shut. Oh gods, was she going to faint? Just needa rest for a lil' bit, she slurred. It was like she had taken poppies; everything was hazy and swam around her. The world moved so much slower. . .

sleep, little one

Fugg off, Maegi retorted in a mumbled whisper, shaking her head.
