The scent of death had been growing stronger. Terra hadn't wanted to admit it. She didn't tell anyone that she could smell that there was something deeply wrong, that Ayita wasn't getting better as she should. It wasn't like Terra knew anything about such things. Sure, she played with death. Actually being infected with it was something quite different. Terra could escape it. This slow creeping death that stole through the house, resting in the home where everyone denied it's existence was painful.
She had taken her sweet time coming over to the house. Visiting with Ayita had been great fun, passing the time with light banter. Now though, she had come back finding the others inside in a much more grave mood than normal. Terra had avoided thinking about it, spending time with her pups, occasionally coming back to check if things had gotten better. She couldn't avoid it any longer though, and lifted herself through the house. The pups had been tucked away, they didn't need to see this. Not yet at least.
Slipping through she peered into the room. Liam stood there, the one that had been her friend when she'd first arrived. His time away from the pack had made them strangers, but she still remembered the games they had played. It was painful, looking at the way he was still trying to fix her, when Terra knew it was too late. Silently she took a place next to him, hoping that her presence would give him some comfort, bright green eyes fixed on the fallen wolf. There was nothing she could do, but watch her die and leave to the stars.
