Silver stared outside her tree, it seemed like Serpent was definitely gonna be taking awhile. In fact it was already dark. Nevermind I'll just sleep for awhile, I definitely need it. Closing her violet eyes, she rested her head on the pillow. Her mind still wandered with questions about Raven and this village. It took a long while for her to fully drift into sleep. 

She reopened her eyes, the sound of rushing water nearby. She was holding a jug. Perhaps I just lost my train of thought for a minute. Silver approached the river, filling the jug all the way to the top with water. The object seemed so familiar, yet she just couldn't remember it. Looking into the forest for a minute, trying to remember what she was originally doing.

"Hey! Shirubā!" She heard a voice call her from across the river, turning to see who was calling her, her eyes widened with fear. 

There was a mangled body of a orange cat with ginger flecks on it, blood all across the grass there. 

"C'mon! I said I'd introduce you to my family!" The mangled corpse cried to her, Silver looked at the jug again. 

It's empty... But I just filled it? Ugggh! My head hurts!

"It doesn't matter! I'll just do it later" Silver jumped across the river, landing akwardly. The cat reached a hand out to her as if to help her get up. 

Silver slowly went to grab it, but nearly let out a horrified cry as the cat melted away. Leaving just a bloody mess of blood, bones, and some traces left of their organs. 

A large canine creature leapt at her, pushing her to the ground and knocking the air out of her lungs! 

"ЩΉY ᄃӨЦᄂDП'Ƭ YӨЦ FIX ΉΣЯ? YӨЦ'ЯΣ ƧӨ ЦƧΣᄂΣƧƧ, ЦƧΣᄂΣƧƧ! ЦƧΣᄂΣƧƧ! ЦƧΣᄂΣƧƧ! ЦƧΣᄂΣƧƧ!" Silver couldn't make out the words as she was forced to regress back to her fox form, leaving her near helpless to defend herself against the beast. She manged to catch a glimpse of the cat once more, this time in dismembered parts of what was formerly her. Before she could even make out anything else, the beast bit down into her neck.

She slammed herself upwards, panting in shock. Checking her hands over, noticing everything seemed fine. Expect Dark Pit was gone, it seemed like she was alone. 

"₴Ʉ₵Ⱨ ₳ ₴Ⱨ₳₥Ɇ.... ɎØɄ ₵ØɄⱠĐ ₦ɆVɆⱤ ₣łӾ ₳₦ɎØ₦Ɇ, ɎØɄ ₭łⱠⱠɆĐ ɆVɆⱤɎØ₦Ɇ ɎØɄ ɆVɆ₦ Đ₳ⱤɆĐ ₮Ø ₮ØɄ₵Ⱨ. ₳₦Đ ₦Ø₩, ɎØɄ'ⱤɆ ₳ⱠØ₦Ɇ. ₳ⱠⱠ ₳ⱠØ₦Ɇ, ₣₳₵Ɇ ₮ⱧɆ ₵Ø₦₴ɆQɄɆ₦₵Ɇ₴ Ø₣ ɎØɄⱤ ₳₵₮łØ₦₴!"

Silver started to make out the words better this time, her ears flattened. 

"I never failed a patient! No one died under my care, I'm not alone!" Silver spat into the empty forest, nothing was there, not even a single animal. 

"I'm not alone! I'm not alone! I'm not alone! I'm not alone! I'm not! I'm not! I'm not!" She yelled the words running through the forest towards the human town, she was bound to find someone alive there! She never felt so desperate to see a human in her entire life.

She stopped, seeing the entire place empty. Expect for the blurred outline of a person in the distance. 

"₩₳₭Ɇ Ʉ₱." 

Before Silver could even do anything, she noticed chunks of flesh falling off her arms. Letting out a shriek of horror, before opening her eyes once more. 

She noticed Dark Pit covering his ears as she rose her head. 

"Jesus! Can't you even shut up in your sleep?"
