Simione's Pet

Hawk was lost. He was torn between his ego and the truth. His ego was like telling him that this was all nothing but a lie, that he did not create a mistake yet the truth was waving and fluttering in front of his face. 

Wanting to have some redemption, he went to clear up things with Feather and to ask for the truth but knowing that the girl might not be willing to give him anything at all, he chose to not demand it outright. Instead, he went to Feather and checked with her for anything that might help him with his dilemma.

"Hawk…." Feather called for his name weakly when he entered her hospital room. She looked so weak and pale but her eyes glimmered with so much brightness when she saw him. 

"How are you feeling?" Hawk asked, unsure how to treat her. For many years he had treated the woman as his fuzzy Cat, giving her almost everything he could offer and all his devotion only to find out at the end that she might not be the one.
