...Hm...Ugh...Who's...Who's tapping me...?
"Ke...Ke...Ken...Ich...Ichi...Wa...Wake...Up..."
Hm? Sounds like someone is shaking...But that voice...Cody?
I give a slight yawn as I lazily open one of my eyes...Yup, Cody...Cody?!
"Cody?" I ask as I slowly sit up from my sleeping position, I look around and notice my big bro was missing...I wonder where he is? I look at Cody...Whoa, he doesn't look too well, he's shaking, and...Drooling...
"Cody? What's wrong?" I ask him as I lift my paw up and wipe the drool from his snout, "You're shaking, and drooling."
"I...I...I'm sorry...Ken...Ich...I..."
Man, he's shaking badly, he can't even talk right, he's drooling a lot too. I wipe the drool away from his snout as I place a paw on his back, "Maybe you should lie down..."
Cody shakily nods and lies down. I just stare at him, seeing his body shake, slight drool coming out of his mouth...What's wrong with him?
"Ke...Ken'ichi..." Cody speaks through shaky words, "I...I haven't...Been...Com...Plete...Ly...Honest...With...Yo...You..."
"Shhh..." I hush him quietly, "It can wait until tomorrow Cody, just get some rest, this'll pass overnight." I hope so...
"You...Don't...Un...Ders...S...S.tand..."
I look at Cody's eyes, and a cold grip grabs my spine...He looks as if he's in pain, some sort of sadness in his eyes...A regret it seems...
"Cody...Wha...What's going on? What's wrong with you?"
"Po...Pois...S...Son..."
My heart practically stopped at the mention of that word...Poison?! Well, I guess that explains his need for those bitter herbs yesterday...Wait! What am I thinking?! Cody, my best friend, is suffering from a poison! I...I have to help him!
"Gruh! Hold on! I'll get some herbs for it!" I exclaim to him as I practically begin a race toward the forest.
"No...Don't...It's...O...ver..."
I turn to Cody, "No it's not! I can help!"
He still persists, "I...Tried...But...No...Thing...Wo...Wor-" I just had to cover his mouth with my paw right there, I don't want to hear the word...I don't want the feeling of failure to sink into my soul...Not again...
I slowly removed my paw from his mouth, wiping away some more drool that hangs from his mouth, "Cody...Please..."
Cody tried to stand up, but he never could, he's not able to put his paws under him and push himself up...He's...He's paralized...I don't think he can even open his eyes anymore...
"Please..." I begin as I wiped a bit more of drool from my friend's mouth, "How did this happened?"
Cody began in a shaky, weak voice. "I...Was eating...I then...Saw this strange herb...It...Resembled like...Those that our...Moms used to feed us when...We...Were little..."
Oh yeah, that herb had a special juice inside...Yum...I shake my head to rid of the thought, what am I thinking? I look at Cody as he begins to moan, he found a way roll on his side, clutching his stomach. He must be in a lot of pain...Trying my best to comfort him, I nuzzle his belly and begin to rub it with my paw, trying to soothe the pain.
"But..." Cody managed to continue, "It...Wasn't that herb...I...Poisoned myself...Uuugh.."
"It's alright...I'm here for you..." I soothed him with my words as I nuzzle him, still rubbing his belly for him, "But...Did your mom or dad tried anything about the poison?"
"Mom...Died of...A Disease..."
Oh no... "And your dad?"
"Hunters...Took him..."
I close my eyes and turn my head away from Cody as that last word bombed in my eardrums. His father...Taken away just like mine...
"This cloak...Is...What...Remains of...Him..."
My eyes shoot open as I turn and fix my gaze at the cloak Cody's wearing...His father?! It's...This thing?! Or should I say, what remains of his fur...Cody must've stole it from the humans to have something to remember his father by...
I look at Cody's eyes...It seems as if he's struggling to even see me...His eyesight is going bad...The poison...It's doing its work...I place my paw on Cody's neck...A feeble pulse...
"Cody please," I plead, feeling the poison it's reaching its end of torture, "You can't leave, there's so much I wanted to talk to you about, so much catching up to do..."
Cody tried to smile, but even that proved to be a climb up the mountain in his state, "Hey...I'll...Still be...With you..."
I look down at the ground...I...I can't lost him too...Losing mom, dad, and Kamali was enough...But...Not my best friend...
"You...Can keep...My cloak...To...Remember me...By..."
I can't believe this is happening...Not now, of all nights...Of all days...Of all years...
"Good...By...E..."
A small hiss of air made my eyes widen and my ears prickle up...Oh no!
"Cody!"
I place my paws on his shoulder and shake him lightly, "Cody!" Nothing...I shook again, "Cody!" Again, nothing...No...
Tears began to swell up in my eyes, he's gone...He's actually gone...To his mother, to his father...Gone...I look around at the cave, I'm rather surprised we haven't woken anyone up...Though, that makes it worse, no one to soothe my pain, no one to dry up my tears, no one...No one...
"Cody...!"
I wrap my arms around Cody's neck and nuzzle him, hugging him and licking him, giving him the love and care that I missed in two years. If he could even feel them... Crying silently...Without a word...Just...Nuzzling his warm body soon to be cold...Those red eyes of his, will never look at me again...Losing a friend...Hurts the same as losing my family...I look outside, night seems to have burned away from this tragic event, soon to be morning...
I look at Cody's dead face one more time, then I continue nuzzling him, until I cry myself to sleep, my head rested on Cody's shoulder and my arms around his neck, embrassing him...
Goodbye, my friend...
OOC: Phew, sorry for the long post. If it's too sad, sorry, I've been having this in my mind a few months now.
