This time closer.

What was that?

I was alone down here?

Once again I heard a howl, followed by an angry growl, and this time I understood who was calling me.

I could understand the words that weren't words.

Deciphering the language she spoke.

My wolf called out to me.

Desperate and confused.

She was looking for me. Trying to bring me back.

To save myself from myself.

But I didn't want to be saved.

Instead, I retreated deeper and enveloped myself again in the pitch-black darkness around me.

She howled and cried again, this time in horror and panic.

Tried to grab me, tug and tear at me.

Anything....
