Darkness. As far as she could see, nothing but blackness met her vision. Slowly she reached out, tentatively touching the ground in front of her. A single white paw trailed along the ground, feeling about for her brother. She flinched suddenly, as a sharp stone scratched the skin of her wrist. Drawing her arm back towards her, she touched her wrist, detecting the trail of blood staining her fur even in the pitch darkness. She instinctively swung her head around, a wave of panic growing inside her, then froze, as she felt something grab her shoulder. A familiar scent reached her nose, and she relaxed, as her brother gently helped her to her feet, then guided her back to their makeshift bed.
Are you okay? Coricopat asked, using their psychic link to talk to her. Tantomile nodded, moving closer to her brother for warmth and comfort.
I'm fine, she replied. I just got lost. She felt Coricopat nuzzle her gently, and half closed her eyes, feeling tiredness creep over her.
It's past midnight, Coricopat said in his mind, sensing his twin sister's tiredness. you should get some sleep. He glanced over, to see his sister already fast asleep. Smiling slightly, he shook his head, and crept towards the entrance of the den, gazing out at the bright full moon that flooded the cave in an eerily beautiful glow. He slowly turned back to look at his sleeping twin, and sighed sadly.
"If only you could see what I see," he whispered, slowly making his way back to their bed.
