I Losted
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fawn was having a wonderful day playing with her siblings and chasing butterflies. In fact, she couldn't think of a better day so far in her short life. It would all change, however, when she wrestled free from her siblings to chase a huge pretty blue butterfly. So engrossed in following and trying to catch it, she hadn't noticed that she crossed the pack boundaries. She jumped and pounced and yipped as she sought to try and catch the elusive creature, all sense of time had been lost to her. She never realized how far past the borders she had gone, nor for how long she was out. She could have gone further, but luckily for her, the butterfly finally landed on a rock near a cave entrance. (Not that she noticed that either since her eyes were exclusively on the butterfly). Panting, the small pup crouched low with her rump high in the air. She wiggled her butt as she prepared to pounce, and when she did, she was nowhere near close enough to catch it! Her paws landed with a thud and the butterfly floated back into the air, except this time, it flew into the cavern.
Without thinking, she chased after it into the cavern with only the dying light of the sun outside to guide her until she had gone far enough that it turned pitch black. She was several yards inside the cavern, and when she realized that she could no longer see where she was, she realized just how much trouble she was in. "Uh oh..." She turned around to try and find her way out, but she soon realized that she couldn't find where she had come in from. Scared and confused, she nosed along the walls, unknowingly going a bit further into the cavern with each turn.
After what felt like forever, she saw a glow up ahead and she headed towards the light. She was cold, hungry, and scared. She thought the light was the way out, but when she got to the glowing room, it was just a bunch of weird looking glowing plant things. Whimpering, she looked around as she tried to figure out how to get out of here. Was she lost forever!? Was this her fate? Oh! She should have been paying more attention to where she was going! She slunk towards the center of the large room, her whines and whimpers echoing throughout the cavern. When she neared the center, she tripped over a small collection of crystallized rocks. Fawn picked herself up and sat right there, curling herself up into a ball as she stared at the quartz crystals. They sure were pretty! And for a moment, she almost forgot that she was lost and alone..."I gotta show Da--" Oh...right... The realization that she was lost and alone hit harder then ever now. "D-Daaaadddyyy!! Moooommmyyy!!" She cried out, ears falling back as her voice echoed all around her. She wanted to go home! The girl sat there, crying loudly and hoped that someone would find her.
