Secret of Survival

Ulric let his eyes open the tiniest bit as his father got up, peeking at Ganta through his lashes and watching him walk out of the den. As soon as his dad was out of sight Ulric opened his eyes and glanced over at his mom to make sure she was actually still asleep. Ulric had dozed a little bit through the night, but getting fully into sleep had been hard. What if he was asleep when his dad left again? He couldn't let that happen. He kept thinking about Philly and hoping that she was okay. Something told him that she was, but it was hard to not let his nightmares get the best of him. He uncurled from his mother's side as carefully as he could with his oversized, clumsy paws and slipped out of the den to follow after his father. At least Ganta hadn't gone far and Ulric caught up to him just as he was taking a drink of water. "Hey, dad," he said as he stopped just behind Ganta's shoulder. He felt better with his father here, but without Philly it just wasn't the same. |
