She felt no pain where her hand rested, touching the spot she had hit on the rock when she had fallen from the roof. Perhaps she would have felt a great deal of pain from it if she had not been sleeping for so long, but as it was, she had escaped the physical pain from the trauma to her head. It was the emotional pain that targeted her, along with the feelings from her weakened state, and she wished so desperately that she could be spared the emotional pain and could feel only the physical aspects. It would not have been awful to break a bone or injure herself in any other way possible if she could only be spared the emotional anguish that came after her awful fall and the events that followed.
The door opened behind her, but Artemis did not turn to look at it, a silver ear flicking backwards to listen for the noises that would surely follow the door opening. It could have been one of her young cousins, off to play, or it could have been any pack member off to do whatever they wished to do, while the young silver girl remained on the porch steps, huddled beneath a blanket and clutching the red rubber ball as if for dear life. The noise she had expected did not come, but instead came a small noise that Artemis recognized as being her sister. Parker had not spoken at all as a young puppy (which had been fine, Artemis spoke more than enough for their entire litter) and she was still quiet now. Her presence was more welcome than most would be, as she did not think her sister would demand answers and she knew that Parker would not be loud like others might.
“You can sit with me,” she spoke, soft blue eyes looking up to the golden color of her sister’s, a color she did not recognize in either her mother or her father. She had her father’s eyes, and her other siblings all had eyes in shades of green or blue, but Parker’s golden color was unique.
