Once Aurelia took over my mind, I was given the chance to rest.
I always thought it was the strangest thing when she took over. Like I was a back-seat driver in my own mind.
I hadn't shifted for so long, I almost forgot how to do it. I wouldn't have been able to, if she hadn't been there guiding me along.
She held herself very well. I don't know how she did it. She explained it to me several times, but it still didn't make sense to me.
She told me she had to, to protect me from the pain, that for just a little while, she'd be able to deal with it for me, so I could have a break.
She slept for me, making it easier for me to relax.
She was nuzzled by Chad, and Phoenix stroked her fur.
I was in bliss. I was able to see just how much they loved me.
My heart ached to be with them,
