I Losted

Valanga couldn’t say when she had actually noticed that her sister had gone missing. It had been as though she was there one second then gone the next. At first she had checked every corner of the pack’s territory, going as far as the Emerald Valley even though it was further than they were supposed to go from their family’s den. Determinedly she waddled along the border with her nose to the ground, searching for her sisters scent, until she found her trail, leading distinctly away from the pack’s territory.

The girl spared no thought of calling her parents or any of the other pack members, only of returning her sister safely to their den, and took off after her sister.

“Fawn!” She called as she entered the cave, and immediately caught the sound of her smaller sibling’s soft cries and whimpers.“I’m coming!” She yelled frantically and plunged into the darkness, unafraid of whatever potential dangers she might encounter.

At first she tried to follow her sister’s cries but as she moved further and further into the cavern with no sign of her speckled sister she became more and more frantic. “FAWN!!” She called again, feeling her confidence wane and her panic start to set in. She dashed anxiously between stalagmites and around outcroppings of crystals and bushels of glowing mushrooms, abandoning any sense of direction for the singular purpose of finding her lost sister.

It was by sheer luck and perhaps her own frenzied senses acting on her behalf that as she charged blindly through the semidarkness, she ran bodily into her sister’s smaller frame and tumbled ass over teakettle onto her back. “Fawn! I found you!” She said elatedly once she regained full use of her senses. She bowled her frightened sister over, covering her with comforting licks and pressing her chin against her jaw soothingly. The fact that both of them were now hopelessly lost with no assurance that anyone would find them was gone and instead she took comfort knowing that neither herself nor her sister were in the frightening cave alone.
