It had been a while since he had actually taken up his role as pupsitter, and the new pup was so dainty that she almost always needed someone to watch out for her. It set an uneasy feeling in the leader's soul at the story she'd told upon being discovered wandering along the edge of the pack's lands. The large scary stranger with the brilliant yellow eyes sounded awfully familiar to DaVinci. He growled softly under his breath at the thought of what the monster had done to the little girl's family, his eyes narrowing. He almost wanted to just abandoned the pack for the next few weeks and go seek out the beast that had ripped Cinder's family to shreds and feasted on the flesh of her siblings. A shiver ran down his spine at the thought of anyone doing something so disturbed in these lands. It almost reminded him of the massacre at the lighthouse.
He shook the thoughts from his head as he glanced after Cinder who was quietly playing in the sands along the coast not too far from him. He didn't want to think of what it must be like for her to have witnessed something like that, then again all it did was remind him of the sins of his father, committed right before his own eyes. He didn't realize he had been holding his breath at the reminder of his past until the hiss of air escaping his lungs filled his ears. The male let his shoulders sag as he flicked an ear back at the sounds of the little girl happily off in a world of her own. He knew though that when she closed her eyes the monster would appear again.
