Luke sighed with relief. It would be good to have company on the road. Being on the run was a lonely business. He watched Katelyn eat for a moment, then moved over to the cave's entrance.
The sky was darkening, and he decided to take the first watch. The fire popped merrily behind him, and the stars twinkled into existance in the sky, like celstial eyes opening for the first time. Unconsciously, he pulled three small rocks from the inner pocket of his duster, then spun them in a circle over his palm. He softly hummed a lullaby to himself, one he never knew where he learned it from, but seemed burned into his brain. The rocks bobbed in time with the lullaby, and his mind quieted. He sat stone-like, images of pale blue wallpaper flying through his mind, of a man and woman, of a white tail that refused to stop moving so he could catch it. He purred a little, then continued to hum, his own tail swishing with the beat. A sense of longing fell over him, and the scar over his right eye seemed to burn.
Luke had the great urge to howl, but he surpressed it, and instead settled for slumping on a wall. He saw needles, the man and woman crying as they grew smaller, and all the while he heard the cry "NO!! HELP ME!!!"
