ARELI
Do you still believe in love, I wonder?
Do you still believe in love, I wonder?
When her body collapsed onto the hard shore, she didn’t know where she went, but it wasn’t the beach. For a long moment—or maybe it was more than that; she couldn’t tell—everything went dark and quiet, as if the sea had dragged her down to the briny bottom after all. She could hear the vague rushing sound of blood in her ears, and perhaps, if she listened closely enough, the distant boom of the surf, but she was unconcerned, floating lazily in the swells of her own unconsciousness.
She didn’t know when she came to, only knew that she looked up to see a blinding light (the sun) and a lanky silhouette hovering over her before a blur of gold came rushing at her face. Bee was wriggling around her wildly, licking her all over in concern and relief and fear all at once, and it was all Areli could do to lie still and make the best of processing the rush of the pup’s heightened emotions. “Are you okay?” she heard a voice ask from above, and she squinted up at the brindled boy, dazed. “’M…alive,” she said finally, not knowing how else to respond. And in that moment, realizing what the other possibility might have been, the salty tears began to fall.
“Why…why di’n’t…you…move?” she sobbed, burying her muzzle in the sand between her front legs. Visibly shaken, her sides heaved with feeling. She could have died today, the girl knew, and the recognition of her own mortality was rendering her quite helpless to her tears. For the time being, her rescuer’s injuries went unnoticed—Areli was too blinded by emotion to see beyond the gaping void of what could have been.
