For some reason, the woman's words only pissed Kai off more. This was not her fault; she would have shot Warren regardless of her being there or not.<br/><br/>Upper lip curling in a snarl to show the sharp white teeth underneath stained with blood, Kai growled deep in her throat, eyes narrowing.<br/><br/>You'll burn in hell for what you've done and I hope that Warren living, and he will live, haunts your fucking afterlife, you bitch.<br/><br/>Without another word, Kai's teeth sunk into the woman's throat. Hot blood filled her mouth, spilling from the corners and staining her white fur. She could feel the beat of the other shifter's heart slowing, slowing, until it finally stopped. It wasn't until Kai saw the life leave those blue eyes that she let go. She looked at the now dead woman, her lifeless eyes staring up at the sky. It satisfied her in some sick way but she wasn't afraid of that feeling.<br/><br/>Leaving the bleeding body, she turned to look at the scene behind her. For a moment, it looked like she was looking through a thick fog, the image not so clear to her. Karren's whining brought her back. It was then that her body ached, the pain of Warren's wounds hitting her like a truck. Slowly, she walked over to the three, the seemingly lifeless Warren, Karren whining and nudging her son, and Brandt in his human form screaming at his brother.<br/><br/>When Warren had shut her out at the lodge days ago, closed the bond between them, even if it was brief, that feeling was nothing like what she was feeling now. She'd described him shutting her out as dying, like some part of her was lost and was never coming back. But she realized, looking at him now, that it hadn't been anything close to feeling like she was dying inside. If anything...that had felt like...like, well, getting shot. This, however, feeling his pain slowly ebbing into nothing, feeling the bond starting to tear and break with no hope of being fixed, this felt like she was dying.<br/><br/>Even as she stepped over to Warren, now ignoring Karren and Brandt, Kai felt it hard to breath. She didn't realize it, but she was panting, trying hard to get even the smallest amount of icy air in her lungs. Tears welled in her eyes and rolled down her fur, the fallen drops tinted red. Nuzzling him, she whined. It wasn't even a whine but a pitiful sound; one a dying animal might make right before death takes it. She didn't know what to do. What could she do?<br/><br/>She wanted to take the injuries like he'd done for her. But she didn't know how. No matter how hard she tried, she just didn't know how.<br/><br/>So she spoke to him. It was the only thing she could do in that moment, but it gave her some shard of hope even if it was false hope.<br/><br/>Warren, she said to him, pressing her head to his cheek. Please don't leave me. You can't just take me away from my old life and then leave me like this; I won't let you. Besides, I still need to smack you for leaving and thinking Brandt would be able to keep me away. She waited a moment and when she heard nothing, she growled, letting out a sound a kicked dog would make as she nudged him, pushing his head with her own in hopes its help. Really she was just mad he wasn't responding to her. What did I tell you about dying back at the cabin, huh? I'd have to kill you if you died on me. So wake up!! Wake up!!<br/><br/>Tears coming in waves now, she continued to push at him, pawing at his shoulder and growling at him. Even though nothing was happening, she didn't stop. Even though that little shard of hope was slowly shattering into a million pieces, turning into nothing....she didn't stop.
