"How did I end up in this situation?" I asked myself, just a few moments after I woke up.
I managed to get a few levels after finally getting some sleep. The battle was tiring and I did not shut my eyes for the whole night. I believe we all felt that way. I was getting stronger, but the way things were going, I felt that my mind was going to break before I made any substantial leeway towards my objectives.
And now, waking up, I was feeling a weight over my body, breathing, and I could not move. As my eyes fluttered open, I saw a wolf's ear close to my face that twitched every time I exhaled. Then I realized what was happening.
Violet was sleeping on top of me. We were covered by the ragged sheet the vulpins were using on the different beds. Her face was resting on my chest while her hands were on my sides, trying to embrace me. Although I have avoided the topic as much as I could, even though it felt uncomfortable, having her resting on me like that felt warming and endearing.
