She had thought that she could do this, but wasn't so sure now. It was hard for her to resist, especially living inside the city. She had mapped out all the hotspots months ago when her addiction had first started, all the good places to get what she wanted...and it was difficult for her to just walk by them without stopping to see what was there. The female walked around several apartment complexes, heading for one of her favorite places. The bar where all of this had started, the bar where she'd met Sabeen. Just thinking about her friend brought Sabeen's scent to her nose. She could almost smell her!

After a few minutes, though, and as the smell got stronger, she realized the truth. Sabeen was nearby! The woman turned to the apartment complex, walking through the main door, sweeping a few spiderwebs out of the way. "Hello?" she called.

In a word, she hurt. Sabeen's fight with Leroy had inflicted serious damage, and although she knew that, there wasn't exactly anyone for her to turn to. Ironically, the daughter she turned against her happily knew the healing ways. The lady remained curled up on the ground under the tree for what felt like an eternity, fading in and out of consciousness. Her bleeding had slowed and started to clot. Her muscles screamed as she pulled herself up, too fatigued to stand or shift. Instead she crawled, slowly, back towards her city home. Every few minutes she'd stop, falling down, a series of involuntary whines escaping her clenched teeth.

The woman collapsed on her apartment complex floor, her head light and woozy. The world around her faded to black. Every breath hurt her chest where the ribs fractured. Sabeen's pain melted away then and she entered a glorious dream state. Cold darkness nipped at her heels and forced her forward. She was in four legged form, she noticed, as she tumbled into a dark spacious den. A form materialized before her. The lady could not make him out but knew him to be her father, Asmodai. Her lips cracked into a stiff smile as he began to speak.


A voice startled her into consciousness. It was familiar but her weakened mind couldn't sort it out. "Father," she half-murmured, lifting her head up. The world around her was blurry; she couldn't remember what Asmodai had been saying.

Green eyes took in the jaded surroundings, the peeled paint, the dirty carpets. If this place was cleaned up a little it would look really good but it seemed that no one had attempted to do so since the humans had left the apartments behind. She sniffed about, trying to catch Sabeen's scent. It smelled oddly, her friend's scent...it had a tinge of copper to it, of blood. She was injured? Naniko frowned at the thought and continued her search.

She came into the room, her eyes now worried. Why was Sabeen laying on the floor? She nosed her a little, observing the woman's injuries with a sharp gaze. "Sabeen?" She questioned, trying to rouse the other. She felt warm, so the healer knew that Sabeen wasn't dead....but what had happened to her? "What happened to you?" She voiced the thought aloud.
