Something For Nothing (Self) [L]

“Shit,” she grumbled through the mass of black fur in her mouth. Her white chest fur was smattered with specks of blood coming from the little creature she carried. Slowly the blood seeped from its wound into its own fur and hers. Her paws splashed against the muddy ground rapidly as she ran, desperate to find a solution to her problem.

'Just a little longer,' she thought as hard as she could. 'You're going to be okay.' Maybe, just maybe, if she could think the soothing words hard enough, they would become true.

Kumoya bolted into the sanctuary, looking frantically for anyone who could help her. She didn't even know if they were open right now, but she hardly cared. They were going to help her. They just had to!

Other than a little drizzle this morning, today had been going just perfectly. Everything had fallen into its place, just like that. All of the creatures of the sanctuary were cheerful and in good health. Each one eagerly greeted her, and more importantly, her food bucket. Silver's face was branded with a smile all through the morning.

That was, until she saw a trail of blood along the dirt road she was walking on. She froze in her place and dropped her food bucket. What could have made such a terrible sight? It wasn't a huge amount of blood, but any was far too much. She raced off along the trail, hoping that somehow, it wasn't as bad as it looked...

Kumoya's ears perked up as she heard something coming their way. Maybe it was someone who worked here! Oh, please let it be someone who could help them. It was in that moment, when she took a step toward the grey creature not unlike herself, that she realized how this must look. In her mouth was a dying creature, and she was covered in its blood. Explaining herself sounded like a very good idea right now...

"Can you help me?" she pleaded. It was not like her to beg, but she was too desperate to be proud right now. Being snarky could wait until Dinah was safe.

"She's really hurt!" Kumoya further explained, setting the kitten gently on the ground. She took a second to press her nose against Dinah's body to be sure she was still breathing. It was shallow, but still there.

"It... it wasn't me!" she stammered quickly, trying to make sure that this person didn't think she was a crazy pet murderer. "She was attacked!"

A whole flood of emotions washed over her as she came across the scene. First it was concern for seeing what she was sure was a hurt creature, then a touch of anger for whoever did it, and lastly caution for her own safety facing someone she had never met, covered in blood. Silver stood her ground in a somewhat defensive, cautious stance. Something the other girl could surely understand, given the circumstances.

Conflict washed over her. Though she always, always wanted to help an injured pet, she also didn't know if she could trust this girl. She seemed quite upset, but that didn't really prove anything. Nevertheless, Silver couldn't turn the ball of black fur away. It just wasn't like her to do so.

"Follow me!" she demanded, rushing past and heading for the sanctuary's hospital.

Kumoya didn't hesitate in following the stranger. She scooped Dinah up as cautiously as she could and chased off after the grey girl, hoping desperately that she knew what she was doing. It wasn't like her to trust a complete stranger, but what choice did she have? All she could do was follow along and hope that this stranger was kind. After all, this stranger had her in an awfully tight place.

The two of them ran past various enclosures and into a building in silence. Kumoya couldn't think of anything to say, even if Dinah wasn't making it hard to speak by occupying her mouth. The stranger stopped in front of a table and placed some towels on it. She took this as a sign that she should lay Dinah down on them, so she did. Her bright pink eyes flickered nervously between her injured pet and the girl she hoped could save her.
