Cassidy had no idea how long she’d sat there, swollen eyes never leaving the body that lay before her. Minutes.. Hours.. It all blurred. The screaming and cries from people around her had diminished to nothing, the original only ever looking up when someone got too close to them, when someone stepped too near Godfrey’s body. Her hand still clasped around his, the wolf completely shattered that he couldn’t return the hold, stupid stuffed shark tucked into her lap, she growled deep in her throat as footsteps approached, stopping beside her. “--The next person I have to tell to go away is going to have to worry about a hell of a lot more than a fucking bomb.” Even as she spoke, she wheezed against the burning in her chest, coughing, the movement alone forcing the throbbing in her skull to increase.
