'Justin?'He was somewhere next to me. I knew that much. I wish that I could see him, but it was as though I was blinded. That and everything was spinning faster and faster until I had to put my head down and lie down on my side again. I felt him nuzzle my face. I feebly tried to lick his muzzle back, but I didn't know if he felt it. It was very light, so frail. I called out to him, wanting to say what I needed to say. His fur brushed against mine. I was too weak to do anything more than thump my tail on the ground once. My limit had been reached.
"Ju-stin. I don't..." I coughed again. My voice was strained and croaky. "Don't want..." Justin stared at her worriedly. "I...don't want...to...die..."
"My...throat."Sora moved her head a little to the side and exposed a deep cut in her neck with blood welling up around it. "My...hind paw...Something not...right...feels...odd..." With that she passed out in her own pool of blood staring at Justin's dark form.
'Where am I? How did I get here? What was I just doing? I cannot remember.'Sora found herself in a bright world. 'Since when had the world gotten so bright, so warm? A better question is to ask why my eyes aren't used to this light. What is going on?'
"Hello, Sora." A light brown wolf with chocolate brown eyes came up towards Sora. Sora squinted at the wolf.'She looks similar to me,'I thought. My eyes widened. "Mother? Wait but I thought you were dead...?" She looked at her mother, then stared down at the ground. "Wait, that means that I died. I remember now. I fell off the cliff along with Chain and before I knew it, Justin was there."
"Well, not exactly. Right now you are on the brink of death so you have a choice. Stay here with me or go back to your friends and pack. The decision is entirely yours to make. What is your answer? Will you go back? It will be difficult, but I know that you can make it."
"I want to go back! I don't care how hard it will be, so long as I go back! Before I go though, can I ask you a question?" "Alright but just one." "Is father here?" "No, I do not know where he is, but he is alive somewhere if that is what you are asking. You know," Sora's mother said as she turned, "You were always the strongest of the litter. You fought to survive. You truly do have a warriors' heart. I'm glad you chose what you did. It was not your time to die." "Goodbye mother," I spoke softly.
I slit one of my eyes open. Everything was fuzzy still, but at least I could see something more than a shape. 'What was that sound? Wolves howling for me? Why? Wait. I know them. My pack, including Justin. They were...howling...for me?' I saw them look at me and Lillian noticed that one of my eyes was open.Â
"Hey! One of Sora's eyes is open! Justin, come look!" Lillian exclaimed and took Justin closer to Sora. "Sora! Thank goodness that you're alive! I was so worried for you." I blinked at Justin slowly and realized that Lillian was snuggling right up against me with a tear-stained face.'She cried for me?'I numbly thought. I stared at the ground where I lay. It was covered with my blood. I looked back at Justin.
I slowly closed my eye shut and felt a warm tongue licking my wounds. I had a lot of them and I was still losing too much blood so I was relieved. 'Who is licking my wounds?'I thought in my head.'I wonder if Justin's the one.'After that, I feel into a deep sleep, too exhausted to move or do anything more.
Sora's dreams soon turned into nightmares. These nightmares were not just ordinary nightmares. They were formed out of every bad memory that she had and she was slowly reliving them one by one. She remembered when she had her family together and it was a nice dream. Unfortunately, it turned into a nightmare when her father left. "Wait! Don't go! Please don't leave us here! I want to go," Sora begged. There was only sadness in his eyes. She turned around to find her family already dead, lifeless. Her nightmare was getting worse and worse. A noble grabbed her roughly and threw her aside, then he left saying,"Search for Paradise with me or die. That is your choice to make. I won't wait forever. You'll seek me out eventually. One way or the other." Then, he left in an airship.
She relived all of those days when she had been alone, cold and starving. Those nights were the hardest. She nearly died more than once before there. Sora was once again going through her memories of licking her own wounds. Of all the times when she thought that she would die. Of the white wolf she had met and his pack telling her about Paradise. Of the time she travelled with them, only to be turned back. Of the time she decided to leave the place she once called home.
When she walked into the city, wanting only answers but ended up becoming part of a pack. Sora remembered traveling with them. They accepted her into this pack. She remembered meeting Justin for the first time and the time they both went hunting together to feed the pack.Sora also remembered how Raiku had been taken, how Dune and his dog had attempted to kill them, how she had driven Chain and herself off the face of the cliff. She defended Lillian and felt herself fall down over the cliff still locked in a death grip with Chain.
Sora squirmed in Justin's arms when she relived the moment when she fell off the cliff. She struggled against him, with her breath coming out quickly and jagged. Justin did his best to comfort her but she was reopening some of her wounds with her thrashing around. Justin's white shirt started turning red. She remembered that Justin said that she was too beautiful to die and when he had picked her up before she drifted off. Now, she grabbed Justin's shoulder and clutched it with her hand. Sora was in a lot of pain right now and things did not seem to be getting any better as she started shivering and shaking, grimacing the whole time. Now Sora started growling feebly in her pain although she was still in her human form.
Veronica told Justin to set Sora down on the animal furs. Afterwards, she began to heal her. Justin watched her anxiously, eventually asking Veronica if Sora would survive. "There's a small chance she will survive. Sora's lost a ton of blood already but she is a fighter. She might just make it." The other wolves sighed out of relief. "I would not be too happy about that. There is a greater chance that she won't. Even if she does survive, Sora will be too weak to do hardly anything. It will be almost like having to take care of a week old pup. I'll do my best to keep her alive but, aside from that, I cannot do much more. Then it will be up to Sora to recover."
Somewhere in Sora's mind, she heard someone's voice.'Someone's calling my name. I wish I had the strength to answer back but I do not. I wish that they would just let me rest. I'm not dying, I don't think, just cold and tired. Maybe a little hungry even.'
Sora had a little strength left in her, just enough to tell them that she was still fighting. That she was still alive. "F-f-fr-eez-ing," was all she could make out. Sora started to shiver again, so Justin curled up next to her. For the moment Sora was not able to change back into her wolf form which explained part of the reason why she was so cold but she also had a fever, having only the strength to breathe. This was looking extremely bad for Sora.
