bad blood - Kitaka - May 17 2018
A soft, pained whimper escaped the hyena's maw. She lay in the haphazard pile that was the family's "nest", the remnants of what had once held the hybrid's chrysalises. More had been added to it since the family had come together, so that it could accommodate everyone.
Feathers poked out here and there, both the long, dark ones that belonged to Blackberry and the soft, pale downy feathers of the hybrids. Fur, mostly from her and Jayberry, was woven in with the rest of the pile. Bits of antler and tiny prey bones littered the outer edges.
The heap reeked of her family, bringing the pup the smallest of comforts in her solitude. They were all off doing...something, she hadn't bothered to listen whenever they left, and she was stuck here. It was for the better, she could barely stand without getting nauseous, but she couldn't help wanting to be with them despite feeling bad.
Kitaka's healing from the battle with the crow seemed to be taking an especially long time. The spots where she'd been hit by the energy beam were only just now paling from the angry red color they had been. She'd been burnt, it seemed like, and tender to the touch ever since getting hit. She was glad to feel the strange burns finally fading, but she'd be even happier to be rid of the constant sickness.
She'd always been thin, but she was near skeletal now. It was nigh on impossible to keep anything down, though she was grateful for her family for continually bringing food back for her to try.
The thought of eating made her stomach clench and growl at the same time. She wanted to eat, but she would probably just throw it up again. Feeling helpless, and hopeless, Kit let out another whimper.
