Death is an experience I've come face to face early on in life. My mother died within my first year on this earth. No one would explain it to me; maybe they were all too afraid. I laid there by her corpse for days, weeks maybe, until I had to chase away the carrion birds every few hours just to keep them from picking at her eyes. Finally it got unnerving enough and the smell was just too foul so I finally left the den. Now death is something I don't flinch at. In fact, today I find myself laughing as I chase the carrion birds away from another fresh corpse. It's just a dead rabbit, probably killed by a fox or something and it's mostly been picked clean already but the vultures want what's left. I had nothing better to do than wander so I started chasing them in circles, stalking them. I'd wait until they hovered around the corpse and landed before bursting out of cover with a bark and sending them off into the air again. It was fun for a little while but then I decided to go on my way and leave them to their meal. I don't go far before an all too familiar perfume reaches my nose and my tail wags at the very thought of her. Bellatrix. I haven't seen her in a while but it always seems like we run into each other every so often, just not often enough for my satisfaction. I find myself aching for her presence more and more with the growing days. I push forward toward her scent, willing myself to see her and finally when I do, my ears prick forward and my golden eyes blaze with a bright fury. As I get closer though, I see the marks all over her body, fresh scars, and I scowl, obviously displeased to find her this way. As I get closer, I stop before her and start nosing around in her fur, trying to catch a scent I might know. As I take a step back, my ears fold back and my tail stops wagging. "What happened, Bella? Who did this to you?" My brows furrow in concern but a new kind of emotion forms in the molten gold of my gaze...anger. Whoever did this should pay.
