The Morning Watch

I am standing outside the pack house by myself. My scent is strong and I can hear them all coming for me. I am nervous but I also know nothing bad will happen to me, my mate is close by and my family is on my side and ready for what is coming. I hear a snap of a twig in the woods and hear growling, they are close now and this is going to be a lot but worth it. I hear rustling behind me and out of no where there is a group of them surrounding me, my uncle and mate do exactly what we planned and start dropping the bombs filled with the cure all around me. Wave after wave come from the woods all around me and hit the smoke filled with the cure for this illness taking over our packlands. As soon as the smoke enters their lungs and they breathe deep the medicine takes affect. We were smart about it and found a way to turn the medicine into a smoke so it can be taken as air would be and so far it is being very affective. Wave after wave hit the ground breathing hard and choking as the medicine interacts with the poison and they are cured. Before I know it my mate and a whole army of wolves are standing before me. Most of them look so worried about punishement but I am not here to make any of them suffer I just want everyone better. My mate also knows this and is out for nobody at this point. We are trying to heal our people and better our lands for everyone not harm.

As the packs begin to regain their composer and get their bearings they realize where they are and that unfortunately they are naked. The embarressment is strong right now and for multiple reasons but overall it is the fact that they came after me that is bothering them. Our family starts to hand out clothes we had prepared because we knew what was coming.The more that the affects are wearing off and wolves are turning and getting clothes the bigger my protection gets. Soon enough everyone will be well enough that we can get a pack meeting going and discuss what we will do next. Grandpas cure derived from his vecon is very strong and works very fast. Before I know it I am pulled away from the attack zone and am being taken home by my mate. My work is done and the wolves that are cured and were helping us already know what to do. Any strays that get away will be dealt with by grandpa and I will not have to worry about my safety or that of my family any more. knowing that our packs will be back to normal and we can work as a group to fight this threat further more makes me feel at peace. As we get to the house I feel pressure and pain all at once. I am not quite sure what is going on but with everything that has happened and me having to fight so much it has been a while since I decided to take care of myself. Once I am inside with my love I collapse and hit the floor. The packs leaders don't need to see me like this and I would prefer that my mate doesn't either but I can't really make him go away since he will feel every bit of this.

The roar that leaves my mates body lets me know he can feel what is happening and also that it is not a good thing in any way. He is coming and he is coming fast. My body feels as though it is on fire and my soul is being ripped from my body.My mate is beside himself with rage and anx and I don't blame him. We finally got things going in a good direction and were helping to heal everyone and get everything back on track and now I am ill with some form of virus and my mate is scared which worries me even more. I am rushed to the doctor and the look on his face makes me so much more worried. Something I wasn't expecting to hear comes from my mates mouth, "Go get Joseph, Alex, and Sophie, NOW!!!" I am not sure why my children need to be here but he seems to know what is happening to me so for now I am going to trust him and wait. I am however afraid that I may be dying and that is why he wants our kids here. I think he doesn't want them to not be able to see me before I go.

I also wish I knew what was making me sick. We have fought so hard to have our lives be what we wanted them to be and now this mysterious illness is going to take me away from the family I have fought so hard to protect and keep. As I am hooked up to the machines and iv's are set up for general fluids and blood I suppose, my children show up and instantly start rolling up sleeves of shirts. Wheel chairs are brought in and the kids each sit in one. I am assuming they are going to donate blood incase I need it. But then they strap me down to the bed and put a gag in my mouth. Not sure what is happening now but, I suddenly feel very tired and like I can not keep my eyes open anymore. As I start to drift off I hear my children telling me that this is going to be okay and they know how to make me better. I slowly slip into a dream state hearing my mate in my head telling me that I will be fine when I wake up and that my family has got me and nothing bad is going to happen to me anymore.
With my mates voice in my head I drift off into a dream of poison, blood, and pain. This really is more like a nightmare.
