Cerberus sniffled and sputtered here and there, but otherwise didn’t bother to hide his sobbing. The truth of the story weighed heavily on his shoulders now; death and despair followed him everywhere he went. How could he have allowed for such a travesty to happen? How could he have failed so miserably to save such a young and innocent wolf? Both now and way back when, the dread and sting of loss reared its head like a black stoat in the stark-white of Winter, and Cerberus could feel the pain chipping away at his seemingly-rough exterior. But it wasn’t until the she-coy stood and demanded he speak her name again that he snapped out of his demented reverie. Had she known his friend?
Blind, he repeated. Her name was Blind… Did you know her? He almost dared not ask, for the utter horror clouded so darkly her intriguing features that he almost assumed them to be sisters. Her rigid frame, her dagger-like pointed ears; it was almost frightening the way she stood before him now. Then his tears ceased for only a moment as his blood ran cold, and it suddenly dawned on him that this was the ‘spunky coywolf’ that his packmate had talked so incessantly of. The scars, the tattered ear, the punch in her voice… She was…Vessie, he whispered. Oh dear, you’re Vesper.
