Wow I got some reviews..awesome. They were nice ones too. Thanks girls!
On to the story...
The next morning was the brightest it had been in quite awhile. Luna explained to Raven that it was because the summer months were almost upon them. Hunting would come easier and the sun would be up in the sky for a full six months. Though, as Luna warned, the Seer of her pack had warned her that there would be Dark times haunting all the animals in the region before the sun shined it's best. It was her Seer's last words, Luna added for a afterthought to Raven.
Do all packs have Seers?
It was a question that had been bugging Raven since that morning when Luna had told her this information. She had grown quite close to Luna in a matter of hours which was surprisingly fast for Raven. Maybe it was her quiet aura...
Yes, well, most packs do. The Seers warn the other members of good or bad times from visions that they have in their sleep. Many packs suffer greatly when no worthy Seer is born after their first passes away.
Interesting...
It was coming up late afternoon when the two she-wolves were having their conversation. They were lying in the sun, just outside the cave entrance. Robin and Star were grooming themselves across from them and the other two were playing and racing each other with some wolf games they had made up. It was easy to tell Stone was winning whatever game the were playing, because Stone held his head high and Gar was growling.
Boo yah! Beat cha again, ya little grass stain!
That's not fair dude! You cheated! I know it, you cheated!
You're just a sore loser. Loser. Loser. Lo-
And now they were wrestling.
While Luna found this highly amusing, Raven just shook her head. So much for being more mature...
A loud screech over head made all six wolves look up. Some sort of bird was flying circles over a fallen prey, not far from the cave they had claimed. Sensing that something was not right, Raven got up and started making her way over to the object on the ground. Gar, who had now stopped wrestling, was running to catch up to her. The other four wolves came up in rear.
When Luna came up on Raven's other side, Gar did not object. A silent agreement had spread around the 'titans' that Luna could join their pack. As Star had put it, 'We all need friends when going through hard times'. No one could disagree with her there.
On the ground, lying in a bloody mess, was a aged female wolf. When Star and Luna caught sight of the body, both had to look away. Robin bravely stepped forward and pressed his nose to the wolf's neck. After a few seconds, he pulled back shaking his head. There was no pulse.
Beside Raven, Gar's head swung back to where they had just come from. Luna was backing up slowly, fear bright in her eyes. She recognises this wolf, thoughtGar to himself. In language, he told her to meet him back at the cave and not to go anywhere else. She nodded her head and took off at a run, eager to get back to the safety of the cave. Stone followed.
One by one, the 'T-pack' made their way back to their home. Shaking his head himself, Gar turned to leave, nudging Raven to follow. With one last look at the poor excuse of a noble spirit, she bowed her head and followed obediently alongside her leader, leaving the thin and ripped body behind.
Though they still didn't know, they were still being watched...
