Alone, thats all this night has been. The gasping breath chocked with sobs was trying desperately to quiet itself down. The distant sirens that of a nightmare as Raven, no, Aurora laid her back against the cold wall. Abandoned...
Every breath was agony, tears now trailing from under her mask. Her body still shaking she began to feel for her book. The clicking hooves and whimpers causing her to freeze. Dullahan trying so hard to get up, yet she felt her heart break at the sound of the creature laying back down. 
Almost dragging herself over, she began to disperse her mask. Feeling the sides of the beast that twitched under her fingers. The same sensation of Sweet Tea, only to run her hands down the creature's leg to feel what could have easily been mistaken for crushed ice. "Cannon bone is shattered....Dullahan, I need you gone..."

Again she was met with protest as she opened the saddle bags. Slowly and painfully changing into a set of civilian cloths. Porcelain skin now stained in violet. "Disperse my friend" yet the Dullahan would not leave Aurora alone in such a state. With a baited breath she found her book, slamming it shut and trying desperately not to scream from the severed link. 

The walk home was long, and lonely. She's never had to find her way home from such a situation. Dullahan had never been injured so badly before. And so, with slow, pained steps, and a mind clouded in thought. She tried, and tried again to find her way home. Having to spend the night in the homeless shelter, the next day a library.
Three days it took her to find her home, three days it took for someone to realize she was lost and help. 

When she finally got home, she all but fell ontop of a whimpering Goliath. A door opening behind her to reveal a well dressed man with hair slicked back. "Aurora, darlin what happened to you? You been away for days I had to feed Goliath!" Yet seeing her state he instantly was at her side. "What happened....your hurt bad, come on, I'll take you to the hospital."

---
Three cracked ribs, a fractured wrist and endless questions. Eventually Aurora just had enough. She wanted music, she wanted comfort as she simply listened to her sister, her pillows stained with tears while Goliath laid at her side. Periodically bringing her a bottle of water. 

It was days before she decided she needed fresh air. Bundling up, she brought Goliath and herself to her favourite music cafe. Sitting with her back to the wall and nibbling on a slice of cake. She felt far better than that night. Yet she still couldn't help but keep her guard up. Goliath sensing his owner's distress would not sit down, watching every person that entered and left the building.
