I'm not scared of the dark

Piper glanced back over her shoulder, looking across the thin strip of land she had just crossed to get to this island. How strange that she could get to what was very much like an island without even really getting her paws wet! She knew her father didn't like her going too far out of the pack lands, but she really hadn't even gone that far and she'd be back before sundown. She turned back toward the island with a smile, trotting further inland with her tail waving gently behind her. She loved exploring new places. Maybe now that she was a year old her father would ease up and let her go exploring more. She knew he'd go exploring with her if she asked, but he had a whole pack to take care of. He didn't have that much free time and she didn't want to bother him. This place was turning out to be gorgeous. Of course most of the foliage was dead and dried up because of the winter, but the views were still great with all the mountains and trees around. She kept hiking inward till eventually she ran across a lake in what she guessed was the center of this island. She gratefully paused at the water's edge and lapped up some of the chilly water. Maybe she should come back here once summer rolled around so she could swim here. She imagined it would be a great place for fishing as well. She lifted her head once she had enough water and looked around with a contented sigh. So far so good for today's adventure! |
