Take away everything I am

@Merrick but AW! <3

The night Merrick told her to go look for the Saints, she had done everything right. She washed Ursus from her pelt, went looking through the forests, over hills, the works, but Vesta found nothing.
It was on her return trip that disaster struck.
Within the reaches of Moonsong Glacier, Vesta trekked towards Silvertip Mountain, unaware until she was right on top of it that there was a Grizzly mostly gone with rabies.
It was already too late by the time Vesta called loudly for the aid of her pack, sprinting towards the mountain she called home.

Long claws swiped her hind legs at just the wrong time for her.
Vesta tumbled messily forward, rolling just in time to face the crushing jaws that came for her own skull.

Pained shrieking as the rabid Ursine tore her apart, leaving a broken and battered, gory, bloody mess in the bearknight's place, wide, terrified eyes looking towards Ursus with a twisted neck.
In the final seconds of her life, Vesta looked with fear for her Bruin-witch, pleading to what might've been nothing that she wouldn't die here alone.

Please, don't let me die alone...
