Now I've Stumbled Here [Closed]
WHO | Howard, Aunamee and eventually Wyatt
WHAT | Howard freaks out and dies.
WHEN | Week 5
WHERE | In the crevasse.
WARNINGS / NOTES | Violence, brutal death, mentions and discussion of suicide.
Howard doesn't cry when he sees Sigma's face in the sky. In fact, he doesn't do much of anything besides stare at the sky for a moment, blinking, then looking past the image and to the stars as if they're going to tell him what to do now. How is he supposed to mourn when he knew this was coming?
And after that, he goes back to the hideout he shared with Alpha and packs up his things, because in a way this is more comfortable anyway, being on his own. Comfortable in its familiarity.
He gets all his supplies together. There's only one can of food left, and another dead bird stuffed into Draco's watertight bag. He ties the rope around his waist and over his shoulder, gets the sleeping bags and firestarter kit on his back. He doesn't want to stay in this cave anymore, not with Alpha's blood still on the ground. Even without the corpse, which he rolled and dragged out for the Hovercrafts, the cave seems full of some kind of sick energy that tries to worm under his skin even worse than the cold.
But where should he go? When he stands, laden down with his resources, the shooting pain from his heel to his knee answers for him. He'll have to find the minister.
It takes well over an hour of walking with his things back to the crevasse to find the area he left Aunamee. He doesn't see him immediately, so instead he finds the crack in the crevasse that was deemed appropriate shelter earlier, and sets his things down, waiting for Aunamee to return from wherever he is. He leaves the can of food up by the top of the crack, like an offering and a signal that he's there.
