It was quiet.
Silence, in its own way, spoke. Such whispers of dread, of comfort, treachery. Silence said many things, held many promises, broke many a mind.
Silence also had the capability of wreaking havoc. Wander had been doing her best to avoid detection from anyone, cruising under the radar and keeping her tattered red cloak on a majority of the time to hide the swell of her belly, far too paranoid to portray excitement, not that she felt any. No, as it seemed, the only emotion that could be expressed about her situation was dread. Grief. Guilt. Fear.
Once more she had seated herself outside a short ways from Sirius's quarters, finding herself too distraught and timid to even attempt slinking in through that door. All of this stress certainly wasn't doing any good to the small lives growing within her, but she couldn't bring herself to see a positive to this situation. The dame didn't want to bring life into the mess she was in. She hadn't intended to cause more, and yet now she was responsible for the harm of unborn lives.
To make matters worse, it was no longer possible for her to hide that swollen stomach any more, and Sirius had more than likely caught onto her ruse. The blind woman stared earth-wards, before she buried her face into her hands shamefully. Whatever was she to do? Surely, this sort of charade could not be kept up forever.
It was only a matter of time before the dame was caught.
