It had only been a few journeys of the Sun-Dog since she’d bounded away from Fiery with a new and excited optimism. Now, exhausted, Moon scraped at the earth, digging out clods of it. Every muscle in her body hurt, but it was nothing compared to the pain in her rib cage. It couldn’t be her heart, she thought. Her heart had curled up like a sick pup, and died inside her.
I remember the feeling I had then. It was hope, but it’s not there anymore. It’s gone.
Her paws were clogged and sticky with e
...arth, but the hole seemed deep enough now. She took an exhausted step back, and made herself look at the limp corpse beside her.
Oh, Mother-Dog, you were so wrong.
Mulch and Snap too stopped digging, and watched her. Moon swallowed. Then as gently as she could, she closed her jaws around the body’s scruff, and dragged it to the edge of the hole. A tug, and one last jerk of her shoulder muscles, and the body tumbled into the mouth of the Earth-Dog. Moon closed her eyes.
It’s only been two journeys of the Sun-Dog since she and Alpha helped me bury poor Star.
