She keeps looking at me and its all I can do not to fall into a pile of mush right here and now. I feel all these emotions and I can't make sense of them. I'm scared for her and a little scared for me and I feelhelpless, unable to think of a logical way out of this. If it were just me, it wouldn't be an issue. I already had a way worked out though I can watch now as the twigs and branches I was using before all float away, leaving nothing but water. So much for that idea. Not that it could work now anyway. I can't leave Vega. I can't even imagine getting up and walking away. As long as I'm pressed against her, I feel at peace with the world, with myself. She is my lifeline. I can feel her breathing though its shallow and harsh like every breath is painful. My lips flatten into a tight thin line, wishing there was something I could. She whines and every sound from her lips only kills me further. When I search around for an escape,s ome sort of answer, I can feel the tension in the air sharpening as she catches onto my distress, her own eyes widening in fear. The smell of it surrounds us. I don't know how to comfort her because I can't bring myself to lie to her. We're not in a bad spot but we're not in a good spot either. We are safe on our little island but we're no closer to freedom from the water. When she looks at the water, she yelps and her body moves. As she readjusts, I push myself closer to her, needing the warmth of her body just as much as she needs my own. I can feel her shaking and it makes me feel like I need to be stronger, to be her rock when she needs it. She licks my head as I bury into her fur. When she whispers, my head shoots up, eyes searching hers. She lies her head on top of mine, and I let out a breath in a sigh. "Okay, I'll stay." I whisper back. "I'll stay forever for you." I slowly close my eyes, content to listen to the sound of her breathing.
