end soon?
Just a baby? The idea that this creature was just a pup was almost unbelievable. Mati stared at it for a moment, and a new realization came to her. If this large beast was only a cub, then there was a much larger variation of it sweeping the forest looking for it. She could imagine on of its two mothers searching high and low for their little baby.
Silently she followed him, avoiding eye contact in hope of seeming submissive. Trailing her orange brother she couldn’t think of anything other then her mothers and the safety she would feel beside them. The chocolate pup passed the bigger cub, and as soon as it was behind her she had a strange urge to turn around and face him.
Eyes on the bear’s back, Mati spoke up. Straits ahead. Yous will find her. the pup saw the fear in his eyes, a fear that matched her own and spoke of nothing other then finding ones mother. He would find her there; back where the two wolf pups had been playing. No doubt as distraught as he was.
The moment of courage had passed, and she ran quickly to meet Haven once again, nose towards home and their den. The two little pups would be able to go back home and brag about how they wrangled a squirrel and tamed the wild beast of a bear. |
