still the days stay the same

Alma was gathering small stones to make into arrowheads at Hades' Beach when she heard the Aquila's call. Her ears perked up, and she dropped the stone she had been inspecting. It had been a long time since she had heard a call like that. The last time, she'd been nearly an adult and her uncle Aden had called for a pack meeting to demote her to omega. She hesitated for a moment, then began a slow walk in the direction of the howl, telling herself it couldn't have possibly been her fault. Ezekiel hadn't expressed displeasure of anything she done, although she thought something had to be wrong, since she had never heard Ezekiel call for the whole pack to meet before.

Curiosity made her faster, her footsteps leading up the mansion. Others had arrived there before her, all gathered around a bonfire. To her dismay, she only recognized three: Ezekiel, Symera, and Zana. The latter she half-considered an enemy, but now wasn't the time to display hostility. After a moment of dithering uncertainty, she chose an empty seat at the edge of a log.

The fact that the meeting itself was held in front of the mansion was, in her mind, an ominous sign. The coyotes gathered around the fire were strangely quiet, reinforcing her belief that something wasn't right. Her eyes scanned the group, trying to find clues as to what was wrong. Symera had the corpse of a wolf behind her, and was scratching at a bloody wound on her muzzle. Not knowing of the girl's dislike of wolves, she assumed that there had been an attack on Inferni. That would explain things. Her tense body began to relax. An attack on their clan wasn't a good thing, but she was relieved nonetheless.
