{Tilly - DL 💔}

Hehehehehehehe I love writing angst :)

TW:
- Animal death
- Blood

Pearl held onto the tree close by for support, trying to stand at her full height, despite her injuries. When her leg buckled, she cried out and fell, yet again, to the ground.

'Stop it. I have no time for injuries!' She thought to herself, screaming at her leg to keep her up. For what felt like the millionth time, Pearl stood up again, trying to hold on for as long as she could.

In this cold, dark night, Pearl only had one thought on her mind.

Tilly. Her precious dog.

"Tilly?" The Australian called out, her voice echoing back to her. There was no response, so Pearl licked her lips and whistled.

"Tilly!" She called out again, this time, more desperate. Yet again, there was no response. Pearl only became more desperate the longer the seconds grew, and Tilly was no where to be found.

Only then did she pick up the sent of blood. And that was enough to send her into a full panic.

"TILLY!" Pearl screamed, crashing through the forest, her injured leg forgotten. She followed the sent of blood until she crashed into a clearing. Looking down, Pearl's worst fear was confirmed.

Tilly was dead.

Her dog's white fur was stained red, her eyes glassy and lifeless. Pearl fell to her knees, pulling the body of her beloved dog close to her. She sobbed, not caring about the blood that stained her clothes.

Tilly was dead. That was the only thing on her mind. Who could've done this?

Pearl felt rage boiling and bubbling at the back of her head, voices telling her to avenge Tilly. She listened to them, standing up and pulling out a shovel from her inventory. She dug a small grave, and put Tilly in the middle, not before taking her collar and a piece of her fur. She hugged Tilly one last time, and covered the grave.

"I will avenge you Tilly. I won't let your death bring me down."

So that's what Pearl did. She became a 'crazy woman'. She wore Tilly's collar on her wrist as a bracelet, and kept the piece of fur in a locket that she was never seen without. Everyone called her mad, that's what she was to them.

But she really was just a broken woman who was grieving the loss of her beloved dog.
