Urgh. I meant to post this sooner but I've been sort of away the past few days. >__< This will span out from the moment that Gabe finishes Andre off. Eyes still clenched tightly shut, Rachias continued to hold herself there, listening to what was happening but unwilling to look. In the darkness that her closed eyes provided, something hit her. She couldn't just stand aside and wait for them to kill him, like she knew so very well that they would. Andre was her brother, the last one from her litter that she had, and even if he hated her enough to want to kill her, she simply couldn't stand aside while they killed him. Finally exhaling, she had been holding her breath for what seemed like eternity, the young woman turned back to the tree and to the side, passing it. Her feet took her quickly across the sands, in a full on run, but it still seemed like hours to her. Like everything was going in slow motion. "No!" The girl cried out as she drew closer and closer, blinking back tears that threatened to spill past her eyes. "Please stop!" She cried again, but only realized it was to late when her eyes were able to focus enough on the scene to see her brother drop to the ground. Rachias lost her breath in that moment, stumbling through the sands and yet forcing herself to move on. By the time she reached the rest of the group, they were already beginning to move away, leaving Andre's body there in a heap. She didn't stop though, instead she dropped forward, throwing herself on top of him and wrapping her arms around his body, sobbing in to his fur. |
