Solstice groaned in pain as she tried to stand. Her joints and stomach flared in anger as she attempted, causing the Espeon to collapse. It all dawned on her; she was technically free. She wasn't going to be shoved in a cage and forced to wear collars anymore. Free, but cursed. What would she do now? Go home and watch as Harry grows up never knowing what happened to his sister? If....Harry is still alive? Solstice's head pounded profusely as she finally stood up straight. So symptom checklist, Stomach ache, headache, joint pain and wishful thinking.
The Espeon slowly padded out of the cave, blinking in the sunlight. For once, she noticed how bleached her fur was; a light pink no longer the rich pink it once was. Despite her pounding head she still noticed that Nocturne had passed by here. Her stomach flipped over as she fell to her knees once more. The Espeon shook violently as she emptied her stomach into a pile of grass, but what was being put out was not food; Solstice hadn't been full for a while. Solstice rose to her paws again and stumbled forwards clumsily until she could hear river water, but it was still not in sight. The sound of water made Solstice's throat scream with want, but the Espeon had to retire for a break before she could continue. She flopped onto the ground, panting heavily in pain.
