She could sense Divine’s pain. “No.. what are you..”

Divine gritted her teeth. The last of the darkness leaves you. The dark vines reach her heart. She collapses

Yes.

"What was special about that knife?" She walks to where the darkness is and presses her hands to it @Spark of Hope

Evee screamed, now free, she was able to scream. She passed out a moment later.

"It was... a gift."

"We should get back to the lair. She'll be safer there."

For a second it seemed like she didn’t hear, but she eventually uncurled, cradling the small body in her paw.

The blackness was still spreading

Evee groaned, trying to stand up on her broken wrist, but failing.

Her face fell more, and she looked to Evee and winced. “Sorry. I didn’t know what else to do.”

"No." She winces. "You did the right thing. You didn't let him make me kill myself."
