Finding A Home Amongst The Wolves

Suddenly Comatose

Rose's (POV)

~From the hunt~

Snow told me to hide and watch. I don't know why, but I'll do it anyways.

As soon as she sees that I'm safe she shifts into her lion and slinks off. 

I love her lion, it's so smooth and silky. When she ran it was all like WHOOSH and she wasn't even running her hardest.

I'm looking for her.

Where is she?

Ah! There sissy is.

She's crawling low in the tall grass, sneakily getting closer to that deer.

How is she doing that?

She's doing what I was doing to Blakey only better. 

I can't wait for her to teach me that. 

She stops and waits. 

From here I can see her shoulders slowly moving, it looks like something amazing's gonna happen.

Only... it doesn't.

Bambi runs off and Snow lifts her head. She scans the area, ears flicking back and forth and her body tense. So I do the same.

It happened so fast. One second she's over there in the grass and the next I'm in her mouth and she's running through the woods.

She puts me in this cubby hole in the ground. Tells me to stay put and to not come out till she comes back, then she just leaves and I'm scared.

So very scared.

I crawl to the back of the cubby hole and wait for her to come back.

I don't know what went wrong or why she left, but I do know that she'll be back.

Sometimes I wish I was older and stronger.

...

I wait for her. I'll wait forever if I have to. 

She'll come back ...won't she?

I hear running towards my cubby hole and I become even more frightened. The running stops outside my hide out and then the cover is lifted up to reveal Snow. 

I've never been so excited to see her.

Then I really look at her. What I see makes me want to cry even more.

Snow stands above me. Honestly it's a miracle that she's even standing.

A long gash mars across her chest, her face has minor cuts, and her hind leg looks like it went through a shredder. Blood is everywhere on her, hers and someone else's.

Why isn't she healing?

I don't have time to do anything. Snow gives me a kiss for assurance, even though she's the one that needs it, picks me up and takes off again.

She needs help.

"Blakey! Answer me."

Normally that tone from anyone else would get them killed, but I'm young and it's urgent so it's fine.

"What? What's the matter?"

You can hear the urgency and worry in his voice.

"We're almost home and we're gonna need Doc."

"Why? What happened? Are you hurt?"

He's panicking, it's too late to answer him though. Snow has already made it to the pack house.
