Sex: FemaleLate evening, Broken clouds, 57F/14C
The Kane woman’s ear still itched something fierce, and she noticed the concerned glances from packmates when she missed what they were saying - but she continued to insist that everything was fine. No need to worry. Just a little tired and sore from her trip. She wasn’t sure she believed it at this point and wasn’t dumb enough to think that she had convinced the others either. At least things weren’t getting any worse, she could keep things going like this at least until Jethro came back.
The woman had been heading back to see if either of her children before she turned in for the night. Suddenly the world began to swim around her and her paws slowed, blinking furiously as she tried to clear her vision. Exhaling hard, her head began to tilt inadvertently and then suddenly the world filled with black spots and her skull felt like it might explode. Pain shot from her ear down into her brain, throbbing and ripping her into pieces.
The woman’s voice cried out in panic and pain, green eyes clenching shut in an attempt to make the throbbing subside. It didn’t work, and by feeling she managed to limp her way into a nearby cave, stumbling once or twice. As soon as she was tucked inside the woman collapsed on the rocky floor, trying to hold in tears and force her breathing to steady.
