Chapter 5
Tilla looked over at the remains of her dead pup weakly and whined slightly. Considering how bad the last month was for her she was expecting to miscarry, but it still hurt her emotionally. Food had been really hard to find and she had gone several days without finding anything editable.
In a way the miscarriage was a blessing, as now she no longer had to eat for two. However...she was already weak when the miscarriage happened and it sapped all of her remaining strength. In this way it was more of a curse...for it came far too late.
She could hear the scavenger birds starting to circle above her. She knew it would be only a matter of time before a larger predator found her and she was too weak to even stand. But Tilla wasn't about to give up; she forced herself onto her handfeet and managed a couple of weak steps before collapsing again. She rested a while and then repeated the process, managing a couple more steps. Tilla keep going until body simply refused to obey her any more.
It was then that she felt someone nudge her. Beside herself she let out a small whine and she could hear who or what ever it was walk around her. It didn't sound much bigger then her, but she couldn't tell for sure and she was now too weak and tired to even open her eyes. She felt something lift her left arm and press itself against her chest. After that she didn't know what happened, for she blacked out.
She woke up partially a bit later and felt a bouncing sensation all over her body. Someone or something was carrying her. No it was definitely someone, as she could hear the individual's breathing as it went along. Apparently whoever it was, was carrying her on its back, but...who was it and what will it do to her once it reaches its destination? She didn't get the chance to ponder as she blacked out yet again...
