"You don't know what your in for."
But I do, Harmony. I laid there, on the ground, my eyes closed, and I stopped my breathing. If she wasn't going to fight him, then she was going to learn to hate him. I was like a ugly fucking bloody possum, laying down, playing dead in the middle of the road with the cars passing by overhead.
She hadn't done enough damage for it to actually affect me, but she certainly did get my front left a pretty hard slam across the cold ground. Blood rolled around in my fur in certain spots but not enough to actually kill me.
Yes, she would hate me once she found out I was faking, but she would know I was doing it for a reason. Because I loved her and I wanted her to know what it was going to be like out there without me.
I loved her like there was no tomorrow, and I never wanted her to leave, but I knew it would be the best for her. She growing up and she will have to learn how to fend for herself. I wouldn't always be there by her side for every step of the way, but I would be waiting to be there for her when she needed it the most.
