"Help!"

The jackal hybrid ran as fast as his legs could carry him along the edge of the ravine, heart pounding in his chest and eyes blurred in fear.

She was hardly in sight now, a speck thrashing about in the rushing waters, small in helpless, and so far away...

Percival tried desperately to look for a safe way down, with no luck. He could jump, but if he were to miss the river and parish, there would truly be no hope for her survival. He had to keep trying.

He just continued to run, his mind racing with him as she only seemed to drift further and further away. Her cries for help assured him that she was still alive, but even they were growing faint.

She went under. Once. Twice...

Percival lost view of her. He stood now where he'd last seen her, finally able to make it down along the walls of the ravine safely. The hybrid rushed to the bank, looking around frantically. He called her name.

He saw her at last.

His heart sank.

Percival quickly opened his eyes, finding himself back from the sort of trance he so often put himself into. With a sigh and quick shake of his head, he was on his feet again, stretching as his extended pose of sitting had left his legs numb and back uncomfortable.

Though he was back to reality, her voice screaming his name still rang in his ears, causing a shiver to run down his spine. The memory of the accident long ago only seemed to get clearer as the days went by, vivid and no less painful.

He'd isolated himself, as usual, to reflect the day, but it never stopped at that. Before he knew it, he was back at that horrible event.

His heart was beating quickly, and Percival had to wipe at his moistening grey eyes.

He hated to admit it, but he wished he wasn't alone. He craved the company of one certain companion in particular, but right about now, any solitary creature with the ability to distract his thoughts was welcomed.
