…
There are noises outside. People talking in hushed whispers right at the start of the day. Blearily, I got up. Letting my eyes blink out the last of the gunk from the night's sleep.
There's a hushed whisper. A sullen voice that seems so… done. I blink. My name is called by her lips.
And The sun shines so brightly.
There's this pain in my heart. A feeling that something is wrong… something is terribly wrong… My brows scrunch, my ears flattening against my head. And my tail… it stops swishing and fluffs, as if in danger.
Something has happened… Something…?
I turn to the voice. Her eyes stare at me. Solid eyes that seem so rational. Her hair is a mess, all frizzy in the wrong places. She doesn't care. No.
