Yay! SSWM: 515

It was getting more towards the evening when Melee finally decided it was time to head back home. She wanted to get back to Dahlia de Mai before it was too late and Gideon knew that she was missing. She was heading back to the borders from the den she had stayed in for most of the afternoon. She looked up the sky and could see the colors changing from blue to orange. It was nice to see the colors change before her eyes, although this meant that it was also getting later and she had to get back home. She began to run, but as always she found herself tripping and rolling into something. She would have to walk back, or at least power walk if she wanted to make it back home before it got too dark. The pup trotted along and looked to the landscape. She was trying to figure out where she was and where was the way back to her own home. She sniffed around trying to find it but wasn’t having much luck. She just continued to head north, the direction she knew was the right way. The girl yawned as she was getting rather tired. Her day was filled with fun and excitement, but now she was ready to crash and she wanted to sleep. Her tail flicked as she continued along. Her multi colored eyes began to wander as she tried to pin point her current location. She didn’t want to think that she was lost, but it was beginning to look that way. She knew the way here, but not the way back. The brown pup let out a soft sigh before she began to pick up the pace and move along the borders.

Melee sighed as night was beginning to settle in and she still couldn’t find her way back. She was even beginning to head deeper into the heart of the Crimson Dreams pack rather than away from it. She whined as she was sure now that she was lost. The sky was changing now to a darker shade of blue. She needed to find the way out now or she would be staying in another pack for the night. She wondered if there was anyone around who she could talk to who would help her find her way out of here. Seeing as there was no one around, it seemed she was going to have to find a place to crash for the night. Maybe if she was lucky, her father wouldn’t notice that she was missing and she was just staying somewhere else to have some company. The pup looked around the area and noticed a small hole under a tree. She crawled inside and looked outside of the hole. She was only going to stay here if she needed to. She wanted to make sure that there was actually no one else around who would be able to help her find her way back home. She let out a soft yawn before she laid her head down and continued to watch.

<3

Lorenzo Knight decided that he wanted to spend some time alone. He loved being in Haven Manor, which always seemed to be crawling with his pack members and members of his large extended family, but now he did not want to see them. More specifically, he could not stand how jealous he felt when his brother, Tony, stole away some much coveted one-on-one time with their mother, Ghita. The Knight boy knew that jealousy was an ugly thing, and he felt ashamed. But he could not help feeling that way!

Tony could be so, so bossy, especially when it came to playing with Lorenzo and their sister. He seemed to naturally take the leadership position within the close-knit group of siblings, but he was also somewhat resentful of the way Tony would seem to overpower him with his larger than life personality and his natural tendency to take charge. Although Tony loved to spend most of his time with his mother, it was clear to Lorenzo that Tony was also trying to fashion himself after their warrior father, Jazper Rhiannon-Knight. That really made Lorenzo jealous. The large tan and brown boy wanted to keep Jazper to himself! He was not ultra-attached to his father, but if Tony wanted to monopolize their mother’s time, Lorenzo felt that he should leave their father out in the open for himself and Fia. Sometimes life just wasn’t far, but Lorenzo could not exactly pinpoint why.

With frustration welling up in the large puppy, his bi-colored eyes scanned the white matter that coated the ground. Lorenzo and his siblings had been born in late autumn, but his first clear and distinctive memories included chilly weather and snow. He was breaking the rules by embarking out into the territory of the Dreamer pack. He should have been at the manor checking in with his folks, but he had decided against it. Although the room he shared with his family was cozy and safe, right now he found it to be so confining! One violet eye and one blue eye regarded the seemingly endless landscape before him. He was free! The thrill of breaking away from his family and the terror at the thought of getting caught and dragged back warred in his mind as he pushed himself farther and farther away. His thin legs and oversized paws carried him, his gait awkward and filled with the exuberance of his youth.

His eyes fell upon the form of another pup, one he did not recognize. Was she from here? Lorenzo shook his head to answer his own question, his oversized ears flapping slightly as he did so. She could not be from Crimson Dreams. Lorenzo was certain he would have heard about it. Creeping toward her, he tentatively inhaled her scent. She did not smell like Crimson Dreams at all. “Hey. Hey you! You runnin’ away too?” It was the only thing that made sense to him. Why else would a stranger, a child like himself, be here? Her home was not Crimson Dreams, so she had obviously left it. “Tha’s a good hidin’ spot,” Lorenzo complimented her, sizing up her position within the knotched hole of the tree.

Enzo did not even pause to think that she might not take kindly to being approached by him. In his mind, she had to be nice. She was just a girl after all. His only other experience with a girl puppy had been with his sister, Fia, and he thought that she was really nice! ”My name’s Lorenzo Knight, but you can call me Enzo. Who’re you?” the Pusio intoned, drawing closer to her.

sorry for the wait. SSWM: 442

Melee could feel the chill of the night settling in around the area. As the sky grew darker, the colder the air became. She could feel the breeze coming in through the den and hitting her in the skin. She tried to move into the back of the den but it was no use. It was still cold and she knew if this kept up that she would not be able to sleep tonight. She wanted to get some rest so that she would be able to go back home full of energy. Perhaps it was better if she had left earlier to go home instead of waiting until now to find her way back. Now it looked like she was going to have to spend the freezing night alone in the den. The pup tried closing her eyes and going to sleep, but no matter how many times she tried, the chill of the night would find its way to her and surround her so that she could have to stay awake. It was like the elements wanted her to stay awake. The girl eventually got up and turned around, having her back face the entrance. She closed her eyes and tried to go asleep one more time. So far it seemed that the wind had stopped. This was a good sign. Perhaps now she would be able to focus on getting to sleep and find her way back home in the morning.

Melee actually managed to get to sleep, but not for long before she felt like someone was very close to her. She opened her eyes and turned her head back to see the male pup standing over her and sniffing her. She gave out a small yawn before he started questioning her. The pup closed her eyes half way, giving him a tired look. She really just wanted to sleep but it looked like that was going to have to wait. ”No… I’s not wunning away. I got lost. I dunno how to get home fwom hewe…” She yawned again before laying down, though facing him this time. She laid her head down on her front paws as he explained that this was a good hiding place. She nodded. ”Yeah but it’s cold too…” The girl let him continue on as he introduced himself and asked who she was. She wagged the tip of her tail as she responded. ”My name is Melee Soul. It’s nice to meet you Enzo.” She curled up as she felt the chill entering the den again. It was times like theses that she wished she was back home with Gideon and Range.
