Day 281
Basement of The Tavern
Candles, I think she'd like them. Fire seemed like a good idea at the time. So I set them around the once filled hole. It seems like I just did it all, but the candles are burned down to the stubs stuck in the ground and I'm a wolf again. Laying down at the edge of her grave, I notice she's smiling. I didn't notice that when I closed her eyes, or uncovered her and wiped the dirt from her pale face.
There's a twisting emptiness in my stomach like I'm hungry but I just ate. Now isn't the time for eating anyway. We haven't been down here long. Aside from the dirt, she looks just like she did ten minutes ago when she was alive. The blood has dried but I can till taste it on my tongue. I shiver and my skin twitches as I lick my paws. The fur is gone from them now, it must've been from the fight. Whatever was in that last bottle I drank was sweet and cool and better than anything I've tried before.
My stomach twists again and I growl in response. Maybe that's what she's smiling at. The thought makes me lower my head to look down at here again. Verdi, my friend, crazy goddess of apples, wonderful drinks, and lover of a good fight. We haven't been here long, but she'll wake up, I couldn't kill her, she said so, and I'm gonna be here when she wakes up. There are some things I know I should do for her, but I'm afraid if I shift back I'll see her smile, and I'll laugh until I cry.
That's not what I want to do so I lift my muzzle into the air and sing her a song. Not one of sadness, I don't think she'd like that, one of running and playing in warm fields with apple trees. A song of a place I hope I'll see her in again. I hope she can hear it in the hall of her fathers, wherever that is.

Date: 2010-12-19 12:34 am (UTC)Figuring the exam can wait, I pop my head out of the exam room. "What's wrong?"
"Mrs. Beddau told me 't come 'n get you." Oh no... not the baby! I immediately go to get my bag, hoping to God it's the nerves of a first time mother making a small symptom seem big, but it's Glass and she wouldn't send someone running for me if it wasn't an emergency---
"She's at the Tavern, said to go downstairs, the door'll be unlocked." Robert says, following me as grab my coat. Wait....
"Downstairs at the Tavern?" I ask and he nods. "Did Mrs. Beddau look alright?" He nods again. "Looked tired, but alright, told me to come get you, and then went back inside."
Well, there is one other thing that would get Glass to send someone to come get me. Damn. At least my heart stops hammering a touch.
I thank Robert, then excuse myself from my patients and go jogging over to the tavern, bag in hand. Slip in, and it's dark and quiet. Not the bar then, must've meant the basement. I find the door and start to make my way down. It's almost black, and there's an odd sound echoing about, and I can smell the blood in the air.
"Glass?" I call out quietly. "Glass, where the hell are you?"
