we all feed on tragedy

[html]  Your writing is so awesome. And it's funny that you would mention ghosts; Ember thinks that she hears them sometimes. XD Like in my thread with Pendez.
It felt strange to not be a part of a pack again, to not have it matter where she went home to at night. She was free again. But at the same time, Ember hadn't really stuck around any particular packlands after she had left Storm anyway, even when she had become fully accepted into the next pack...so it was a feeling that was harshly familiar. She watched the wolf near the fire carefully as she stepped backwards, trying not to make any noise. It seemed that she was running out of luck, though; just when she thought that she was out of view he spoke. But was it to her? Or...well, he wouldn't be talking to the dead rabbit. It was already dead. He wasn't looking up, though, which she thought was a little strange.
He was wearing clothing, she noticed. Ember had looked for something in the human city that would keep her a little warmer, but she hadn't been able to find anything. And then she'd gotten hurt. She doubted that she would even be able to get anything on any more, clothing-wise, with her body hurting the way it did anyway. Ember wasn't a doctor, she wasn't into medicine. She wasn't Naniko. And the few weeks that she had spent in the territory that was Twilight Vale hadn't improved her knowledge of it. She had shadowed her sister, listening to the names of the herbs and their uses, but she hadn't soaked much of it up. And she couldn't bother Naniko now; the large white wolf had four pups to look after and probably didn't have the time to spare.
She was considering just turning and trying to run, but then the stranger opened his mouth again. He wanted her to sit with him. Ember walked out slowly, letting the end of her line drag along the ground. She'd been discovered, so she really didn't have another choice. The loner sat down with a small noise of discomfort, putting the heavy fish down in front of her feet. The fire was already starting to warm her front, but with the warmth came a brand new kind of pain. Her body had been numbed from the cold for such a long time that it caused more pain than pleasure."Ow."
