Chapter 41 Ebony Seeing Mama like this isn't something I ever thought I'd see. Her usual dark coat looks sticky and matted, her paws are limp and dirty, and her flank is moving up and down rapidly. She hardly looks like Mama now and her scent is masked by blood and medical supplies. Mama always keeps herself groomed and proper. She's one of my calming anchors in times of need. She's serious a lot but never misses the chance to smile and take care of me.

Now sitting by her while she lays limply in a bed not her own, Mama doesn't seem like Mama anymore. We can't go home right now so we're staying in the Royal pack's mansion. It would be great if it wasn't for what happened to Mama and Sky. Suddenly tired and nervous, I look down at my lap. Doctor Olivia doesn't know when Mama is going to wake up so all the questions everyone wanted to ask her came onto me. So many at once to the point that my ears start to ring now just thinking about it.

"What happened?" "Who attacked you guys?" "Was there more than one wolf?" "Who took Skylar?" "Did you get a good look at them?" "Why can't you tell us anything?" "What are you hiding?!" Over and over the same questions were asked of me. My anxiety only got worse as I found myself unable to ask any of them well enough to satisfy everyone. One even said "Must be from her rouge bloodline" which only made my panic even worse. Please leave me alone!

"Everyone stop scaring the poor girl!" Doctor Olivia had snapped at everyone. "Leave her alone! When she's calmed down and ready, she can help you better. Now go!" Once everyone left, she looked at me with a comforting smile. "Just relax… it's ok not to remember it all. It's normal. Get some rest." With that, she left me alone. That's right. I don't completely remember what happened. All I can see is a pair of wild dark gold eyes and Sky's back as he hides me behind him.

I know it was a lady who took Sky away but many of the most important details aren't there. "Why is she like this?" Luna Daisy had asked doctor Olivia. "Did she hit her head? Is she going to be alright?" Instead of being mad at me like everyone else, she was worried about my health. I figured she would be because of Sky and yet she isn't. "Sometimes our brains try to protect us from traumatic events as a coping mechanism." The doctor explains.
