Things That Go Bump in the Night

He was unable to sleep either, no matter how long he would lay still with his eyes closed. He could hear his father tossing and turning and when the large form of his father moved out of the den Eurus would pick his head up. For a couple of minutes he contemplated on fallowing, nice and warm here in the den, but to curious about a border patrol. Soon he was up and sneaking out of the den, once out he fallowed his father's fresh tracks within the snow, his doplick movements not quiet at all. It took him a while, but his father would finally come into view and would stop once he realized he was fallowing. He moved up beside his father, looking up to him with a big grin as he spoke, allowing him to tag along and giving him instructions.

"Got it!" he whispered.

He tried to mimic his father, trying to take more fluid movements to quiet his walk. It helped that Frost wasn't walking as fast now and Eurus did his best to remain quiet. They turned and walked along the invisible line that bordered the pack. When they would pause to refresh the border, Eurus would try to copy his father. He would find something to pee on, just so he knew how to do it. In fact it was the first times he had cocked his leg on anything. He was happy when he was finally able to balance himself enough that he would be able to cock his leg long enough.

Eurus was naive to what his father was really looking for on this patrol, but he hoped he could go on a day patrol and learn a lot more. He was surprisingly able to keep quiet, not feeling the need to talk at all as they moved. Eurus didn't know how far they had gone, but when his father came to a sudden stop, so did Eurus and he curiously looked at his father. Next thing he knew Frost was urging him back to the den, even pushing him back that way with his nose. Eurus slowly began to move that way, his ears flattening at the tone of his howl. His heart was beginning to race suddenly feeling like something was horribly wrong. He was a few yards away when he stopped to look back at his father. He flinched at his commanding voice, but soon his eyes widened as he saw the massive cat drive into his father.

"Dad!!!!!" he screamed.

Then out of fear he began running, as fast as he could towards the den, obeying his father's orders.
