Nighttime was one of Layla's favorite time of the day. She normally spent most of the day sleeping after her morning run. She always enjoyed nighttime since her parents would take her out star gazing. The stars always shined brightly and formed many odd shapes that her mother pointed out.
Layla had found herself wandering along the shores of Whisper Beach. It was her first time here since she had joined the pack and wondered what it was like. Back were she lived, she was used to calm flowing rivers and creeks. Never once had she seen what the ocean looked like but she heard stories from her mother. The ocean is a place with huge waves of water and many kinds of fish. Layla was so excited to be seeing it for the first time.
As she padded along, she could feel the cool sand under her toes and the breeze of the ocean through her hair. She giggled a bit as the feathers she hung from her hair tickled her neck a bit. She then came into view of the ocean. It was so beautiful. From that instant she loved the ocean. She then looked to the sky to see all the stars. She took her spot in the sand and stared to the sky, looking for some of the shapes her mother showed her before.
Wonder walked along the shores of Whisper beach. She walked slowly looking out at the ocean. It was beautiful. Wonder had seen the ocean only once or twice before and she had never been so close. It wasn’t that she couldn’t get to it, she had simply never traveled that way. She preferred open prairies and hilly cliffs. She had thought about traveling to the ocean when she had been a loner but something had always caught her attention before she could get there and turned her away. Now looking out at the massive body of water she wished she had not waited to become part of a pack to see something so beautiful. And the night only made it more extraordinary.
She stopped and lifted her head to the wind and smelled another wolf, one of her pack members that she hadn’t met yet. Her tail swayed back and forth. She loved meeting new wolves. She quickened to a trot until the wolf was in sight. The wolf was sitting in the sand and starring up at the stars. The dark made it hard to see exactly what she looked like. She paused a little ways away and suddenly was a little shy. Uncertainly she said ”hello”
