[R]eflectio[N]

[Koko]

For a moment time stopped for Koko. Then a warm scent brought her back. Koko looked to see a white haired girl beside Demon. Words couldn't come out of her mouth. Her blue orbs traveled to Demon. Her friend lay on the ground. " Gggrrrr! " her voice rising to a growl of disgust. Her friend was hurt. And Koko couldn't save her. It wasn't like she was dead or anything, but still. It was her friend that was hurt. And Koko could have stopped it.

" It's me Demon " Koko's voice soft. She placed her hand on the black wolf's head. " And this girl here is... " well Koko couldn't describe what was happening. It looked as though she was healing Demon. " Could it be? " she thought. Was her assumption correct. The girl's scent was strange and calming. Just like that of a certain girl.

[Rayne]

"I don't know," Ryne took a deep breath, "But we have to make sure she'll be ok."
Ryne changed to her wolf form and grabbed Mia by the scruff, before running through the forest and to where Rose and the others were.
Ryne gasped at what she saw, and Mia fell from her jaws.
Sasha was dead. And Demon was wounded.
"You d**n humans," She shuddered unable to take another step forward, "Why do you do this to us...What do you want...Peace..." Ryne growled to herself, but aloud.

After taking out the last human, Jaro ran over to Demon.
He was shaking, unable to speak, all he could do was pull Demon close, and hug her.
"..Don't go..." He whispered.

[Demon]

Demon was blind. "Jaro." she guessed. She accepted the hug. Her black fur dull. "I can't see." she said as her eyes were open. "Were'd everyone go?" she asked shaking. She finally realized it and had to accept the facts. She was blind. She could never see ever again. Demon started to cry. Her eyes were a whitish blue that you could indicate she was blind right away. "Jaro... don't let me be blind..." she pushed her fur against his. She was scared out of her mind. She was blind forever...

[Rose]

Rose closed Demons eyes with both of her hands. She put her hands right above Demon's eyes. "Do not cry." Rose said. "It is...okay..." Rose had said her first complete sentence.

___

"Oof!" Mia mumbled, falling from Ryne's mouth. She scrambled up on her paws.

[Rayne]

Jaro was sobbing terribly, "No...Not Demon..Not her sight.." He would woof between breaths, "..No..." He closed his eyes and laid his head on her shoulder, "It's alright..." He whispered, "We're here. We're all here, I not leaving, and neither are the others."
Jaro then opened his eyes to see Rose, "Can you...Heal her...?" Jaro hoped the maiden would answer yes.

Ryne began walking forward, being careful not to step on Mia. The gray she-wolf stood beside Rose, watching and hoping that Demon could be cured.

[Demon]

Demon shook with fear. How was she going to even run, blinded. Oh, shes gonna have revenge alright. Shes gonna kill who ever is close to that man. Whoever wanted him to set out and kill wolves. She was gonna get pay back. Blinded or not. She stood bravely she sniffled realizing that was the Flower Maidens first complete sentence. "Cool." she smiled. She stood bravely even though she had lost her sight. She pressed her fur against Jaros. "I don't care if Im blind or not." she still smiled.

[Rayne]

Ryne sat down, a breath of relief came from her.
She was glad Demon would live, but there was still her blindness. How could a blind wolf hunt, and actually catch and kill prey? Jaro answered her question almost like he had read her mind.

"I don't care either," he said his eyes closed, "I'll always be by your side. I'll do whatever it takes, I'll do anything for you."

[Rose]

"Heal..." Rose whispered, putting her hands over Demon's eyes. You will...see...again... she thought.

~*~

"What is Rose doing?" Mia whispered to Leo, now standing beside him. "I think she's healing Demon...Trying to make her see again..." Leo replied. "I hope Rose can do it..." Kaaye murmered.

[Heart of a Wolf]

Sakura stood away from the group.She wasn't sure what would happen if she got involved.She wasn't the most liked member of the group.It felt like she was the most least liked member.All they ever saw was the scared Sakura,always with tears in her eyes.They have hardly seen the brave Sakura.The only time she showed it was when she was angry.She turned away and walked into the forest.It's all my fault.If I had helped Demon,she wouldn't be blind.It's my fault,all my fault.I can never face Demon again.She walked back to the camp.She was fearful of what would happen when they noticed she was missing.She started to walk past camp.I can never face any of them again.She was dragging her tail,wishing to be with her sister,Jakie.

[Kaaye]

Kaaye noticed Sakura walk off into the forest and went running after her. "Where are you going, Sakura?" she asked, getting in step beside her. "Is something wrong?"

[Heart of a Wolf]

"It's my fault Demon is blind.If I had helped her,she wouldn't be blind.It's all my fault..."Sakura voice trailed off.She didn't know what to do other than keep walking forward.

[Kaaye]

"It wasn't your fault," Kaaye comforted. "It was that stupid hunters' fault...Not yours. Don't blame yourself." Kaaye twitched her ears. "Nothing is exactly someone's fault..."

[Heart of a Wolf]

Sakura looked at Kaaye."No.It is my fault.If I hadn't ran down here,Demon wouldn't have followed and gotten shot.It's my fault..."Sakura started to run.She ran far away from the others,trying to get away from it.

[Rayne]

Ryne bowed her head to the maiden, "Thank you Rose, but I'll be right back in a minute."
Ryne turned to Leo, "Make sure everyone is safe here." She wagged her tail before following the scent of Sakura.
About half a mile into the forest, Ryne decided to try something.
She sat down and began to howl. Not for the pack, but for Sakura alone. Perhaps the wof would come.

Jaro didn't know what else to say. He knew all he could do for Demon was comfort her, and watch Rose try to heal her.
Please make it work,..Please heal her..

[Heart of a Wolf]

Sakura heard Ryne's howl.She looked back.Why would they howl,for me?She looked down.It's my fault Demon got hurt.Sakura walked back to where Ryne was.She was scared though.In all this time,she has never really spoken to Ryne.She wasn't sure what to expect.

[Rayne]

Ryne heard branches break in the forest around her, she sniffed the air. It was Sakura coming back.
Ryne laid her ears back against her head, showing she meant no aggression, then she began to speak.
"Sakura, is something wrong? Why did you want to run off like that?"

[Demon]

Demon's ears twitched in a airplane postion. "Its ok, Rose." Demon said, Her head was held high. She took in the sweet scent of the flower maiden. Demon was still blind. She sniffed. "Sakuras gone." she said. She looked back knowing not to see anything. She got to her paws. She felt the soft ground. "Lets go." she said. Her eyes were wode open as she began to run. She could actually do it. She ran about a half mile. She slipped and fell but got right back up. "SAKURA!" she howled. She found her scent and walked towards it. She found Sakura even though she couldn't see her. She walked towards her and put her pelt against her's for comphort. "Sakura, its not your fault. Its no ones fault except mine. I didn't have to follow you." she said. Her bright blue eyes were glinting in the moonlight.

[Koko]

Koko found a rock to sit on. She lifted her leg up and layed her chin on it. She wrapped her arms around the leg and yawned. She no longer resembled her wolf form. Koko's blue eyes glittered as she stared at the moon. " Wow! How beautiful " she whispered. She gave a soft smile. While everyone was handling the current situation, Koko'd just chill. It didn't require her to be handled.

" Father " she whispered " Wish you were here ". Her word's ending in a puff. As her blue eyes stared at the moon, her father's image appeared. It made Koko's heart jump. She swallowed quickly. A large lump going down her throat. " Uh! " she shook her head trying to swallow it. It worked. " Just ink " she asked herself " If Demon would have.. No! " she stopped herself. Such a retched sentence Koko would never finish.

[Heart of a Wolf]

"Demon,i'm so sorry about your eyes."Sakura looked at Ryne."I ran...because I was scared.I...I thought I would be in trouble."She walked away from Demon and layed down.She was confused and scared.This was a stressful night for her.She decided to lay her head down and try to sleep.

[Rose]

Rose walked over to Sakura. "Do not. Be sad..." she said, sitting on her knees beside her. "Not your fault." Rose's red eyes shined with sympathy and understanding for Sakura. She lifted one fragile hand and placed it on top of Sakura's head.
