Vitani snorted. "What more could there possibly be? He's nuts, I tell you." She began, turning to Tahi. "That's all there is to it. We have to do something.." Realising just how tired she was, she started walking towards the den. She could see Ayira on the path ahead of her and slowed down in order to avoid bumping into her and saying something harsh, something she would most likely end up regretting afterwards..after all, Ayira had done nothing but express her opinion, which was bound to differ from hers in many ways.
Vitani shook her head. She didn't want to think about any of this right now. She wanted to sleep. To forget about everything; to pretend, even only for a little while, that nothing had changed. That everything was going to be ok.
"Help..."
Ayira stopped. The spirit. She could not only hear his voice, desperately whispering into her ear, but feel his presence where he walked, right next to her on the dark path. Had she not known that he was nothing but a spirit, a disembodied soul unable to move on or cease to exist, she could have sworn she could even hear his heart beating, and feel the warmth of his body as his paw brushed hers.
"Help me.." the voice pleaded, "Save me! Please!"
He was crying.
"You have to help me." he sobbed, and all of a sudden Ayira felt like crying herself, crying so hard she couldn't think, crying so hard she couldn't breathe. She sighed.
"What with?" she whispered, struggling to keep her voice steady, "I don't understand."
"Help." he said, leaning his large head on her shoulder, and before she could say anything else or even move closer to him, he had vanished, once again, into the cloud of confusion that was her mind.
