this bout to get messed up tags just for shit talking reference tagging as mature for the body and death descriptions have some optional music while im here
It had been over a week since her mother left for a trip. Hotaru hadn't been entirely sure why she was just told it was important though she wished Reiko could be here now. The young princess had never been away from her mom for long periods of time and now that her dad was back she just wanted her family to be together. Takeshi probably missed her too, after all, he had been gone for a while then shortly after returning she had to leave? That wasn't fair!
The days had passed fast and with the extra free time, Hotaru had taken to exploring more of the territory day by day. There was so much to see and the amount of neat little hideaway areas she had found was more than pleasing, not that she really had a reason to hide away and she'd rather share it with her family... @Sumi was usually the one dragging her around, but it seems that she had gotten a headstart today without her. @Haruki had also vanished, likely for his own adventure to present when bedtime came around. That meant it was up to Hotaru to entertain herself today!
The pale girl traveled casually, sniffing at various flowers and plants along her path. The rain had finally lifted or at least temporarily, but it had brought an abundance of growth to the vale over the past weeks. Unfortunately, her pleasant little walk was about to haunt her maybe for the rest of her life. The abundance of green soon faded as the ground grew muddy, a rancid and metallic scent filled her nose and brought the girl to a halt. It was a huge change compared to the flowers and ferns she had previously been enamored with and because of that, a nagging curiosity drew her near.
Slow and careful paws carried the girl closer despite the ominous chill that ran down her spine. Something felt wrong, though she wasn't sure what it was. It was almost as if a fight or flight chord had been struck within her soul and the feeling only solidified as something white caught her eye amongst the mud. The feeling grew suffocating, though Hotaru still wasn't sure why what it was or what made her heart stop with dread. The smell grew worse as she approached, splotches of white and darkened red maybe even black peeked through the loose ground.
The girl thought she could make out what looked to be a paw, but that only puzzled her more. Wolves don't sleep underground, not like this. What kind of stranger had decided to sleep here? The only way to find out would be to wake them up, so naturally, she pawed at the mud scraping chunks and globs away from the sleeping form. Each scoop out unveiled a new wave of stench until finally, she found the body's face. For a moment Hotaru found herself rooted to her spot, a million thoughts racing through her mind as she tried to process just what she had stumbled upon.
In the ground laid her mother, eyes glazed over and stiff as her body began the process of decomposing. Her thoughts rushed to save her innocence insisting she was only sleeping, but she was far to wise now to deny it. Reiko's throat was opened, caked blood covering her fur as her head laid at an unnatural angle. She knew what death looked like. She had seen it in the small prey she was given daily. It felt like a dream, no a nightmare, something too horrible to be true as she took a step back in horror and finally, the smell and churning in her stomach caused her to retch up her insides.
By the time she had finished, she burned from the inside out, her mind just as fuzzy as her body. She wasn't sure when she had started crying but now her vision only contained blurred colors of the world around her. Quiet sobs found a voice as the Princess fell onto her rear and raised her head to the heavens to wail. The girl had done a lot of crying during her time alive, but no moment compared to this. This was a pain unlike any other she had felt, a tightness gripped her chest as she struggled to breathe through the sobs. Did @Takeshi know? Did he know mom wasn't coming back? That she had been here all along?
