ever.”

                “Something’s never change.” I smiled as she said this; she still had her humor at least that wasn’t gone. As well as her free spirit, which is why I loved her, she could never be broken; she never gave up on anything.

*BROOKE*

I lay on the deer pelt for hours. Hours turned to days. Days turned to weeks. Weeks turned to months. I never ate or drank, only when forced by my family. My own tears stained my fur around my eyes. My beautiful eyes… my beautiful sight… blue as the ocean, as clear as a starry night sky. And now… as foggy as steamed up glass, as unclear as a dirty cup, as milky white as the moon. I was lost. Lost… never to be home once again…

                I moaned and curled my tail closer to my body, my paws tightened to my body as well. I picked my head up. Someone was there I could hear them. He walked into the den and slid over to me. I jumped up and skidded to the corner of the cave and snarled. He then spoke in a depressing tone, “It’s me… Aerik. Don’t worry no one’s gonna hurt you, just relax. Remember… strongest wolf alive…” I could tell he was puffing up his chest and he was smiling, “Just calm down okay? Want to join us on a walk? Were just gonna enjoy the scenery; watch the pups snag a few rabbits? So what do you say?”

 I flopped back down on the pelt, “Sorry.”

                He sighed, “Alright then… if you change your mind you know how to call us.”

                “’K, have fun.”

                He left; I licked the pelt for some reason. Just to clean it I suppose. Just to pass time. I looked up, seeing nothing but shadows and fog, fog, never ending fog, a thick blanket of it. I growled under my breath. Stupid Sean has to go and ruin my life. I stood up, and slowly skidded across the den ground. I hit my right paw on a stone and yelped. I couldn’t take it anymore I just snapped, growling and scratching at my face, my stupid, stupid eyes! I snarled and rolled on my back moaning in pain. I whined and pawed at my eyes, why couldn’t they work. I stood and limped over to the pelt and shoved my face in the fur. I ran in circles and growled and barked. I snapped and I lost it, out of control because the blindness drove me insane. I didn’t even care when six wolves came through the den, I hoped they would just kill me, save me from the pain. The largest of the pack came to me and cooed, “Calm down dear you’re okay, you’re gonna be okay.”

I slither out of his grasp and hide in the corner, “Who are you?!”   

“Calm down please, it’s Aerik, and the pups.”  

“Oh I’m sorry.” I relaxed my position

“What’s wrong?”

My head fell, “Do I really have to answer that question?”

Bailey yipped, “Whats wrong Momma? You’ve been acting strange for a long time.”

Aerik answered, “Your Mom has a tummy ach.”

“What’s the point Aerik? Lying to them? It ain’t right! They need to know the truth.”

Aerik shook his head, “Its alright dear you don’t have to say anything.”

“Wanna know what’s wrong with me pups?”

They nodded and replied, “Yeah.”

“I am blind. I’m as useless as a rock. I’m good for nothing. I can’t do anything anymore.”

Sam spoke, “That ain’t true Momma, and you are the best!”

I limped out of the den and through the woods, not really knowing where I was going just wondering. I bumped into a tree and cussed under my breath. I sat and let the sun warm me, I couldn’t see it but I could feel it.

Then it hit me… I can’t see but I can feel, smell, hear, and taste. Maybe I wasn’t useless after all. I could still live my life. Though I would never be able to see the birds again, or watch as the sun set or rose. I could still live… but I would deffinatly have to be making a few changes...
