Oh dear, a deer!

Knight had trailed off not far from the den earlier in the morning, not really with much intention other than to do a little sniffing and memorizing. His father brought home many scents with him every time he came back to the den, but so did other things that ventured close in the middle of the night while they were sleeping. Right now he was discerning the scent of a raccoon, not that he'd ever seen one or had any idea what the buggers looked like. It smelled interesting enough, though. When he heard his brother's words breech the silence, his head immediately shot up from ground is his too-large ears stood tall on his head. All of the boy's little muscles tensed as his eyes went large. They were still true to their youth in a bright shade of blue, though the beginnings of lavender were beginning to dapple around his pupils. Knight bolted from where he stood toward the sound of his brother's yelling, his heart pounding away faster than it ever had before as he kept repeating in his mind 'please be okay'. When he finally set eyes on his brother, he was high-tailing it away from a deer that was right on his heels. His first thought was, why on earth would a prey animal chase a wolf cub? He growled; of course, it wasn't a very ferocious growl, but he did it with all the depth and viciousness that the youth could compel. He did not hesitate to rush to his brother's side, attempting to face the deer head on as he let loose a wolf's variation of a bark mixed with the vocals of his snarl. This beast would leave his brother alone! He demanded it! |
