On pins and needles

Awaken's thoughts were killing him. He didn't know what to do. He truely loved Mercianne. He had no idea if he should tell her or not. If he chould wait or what. Every since th night in the cave he'd been kinda avoiding her, for fear that would happen again. He felt conflicted. His body told him to run to her, ?ut his mind held him back.

Awaken went on a walk through the new territory to clear his mind. He didn't quite smell like the territory yet, so it'd be normal to be cut off by a packmember. He gave a shrug and continued to walk untill he stimbled upon a hole in the ground.

JACKPOT! He sniffed around the edge of the pothole. Looked like a burrow and smelt like an animal. Imtresting things that could be found in such places. He gave a long thought before plunging his head inside. He sniffed around waiting for his eyes to adjust. His paws planted in the black ground above it. But once the darkness became clear, he regretted ever even bothering with the hole...

WHAP! Awaken jerked his head back from the hole, needles stuck on the left side of his cheek. His eyes widening in surprize. Oh what a horrible mistake he'd made. A porqupine waddled his way from the burrow and up a small mound of dirt and out of site, but awaken was left looking like a voodoo doll. He did the only thing he knew to do. "MERCCIIIII!" He yelled with a bit of embarassment. He didn't want her to see him like that, but how else would he get the quills out?
