Rebellion

Orca wasn't entirely sure how to cope with the loss of her mother and brother. The youth had no reason to doubt her father and what he had told her about them but... She couldn't help the nagging feeling that he was wrong. Heloise and Whittaker wouldn't come back... However, she was young and despite her rebellious nature she did have the common sense to know that the world outside of the packlands was dangerous. Perhaps she was looking for that danger. The man introduced himself as Fracture and the girl grinned with a nod.
He then chuckled and explained it was just a patrol, but she would be protected. She nodded, holding back the shrug that threatened to roll her shoulders. At least she could explore more. Eagerly, she would follow him, occasionally trailing a little ahead but constantly checking back by looking over her shoulders or tilting her ears back to catch the sound of his steps. Since the youth was getting her way, she felt no reason to try and slip away from her temporary guardian. They came to a hole in the wall and she paused, head tilting as she wondered about jt, she didn't have a chance to wonder long though, Fracture urged her forward and she bounced ahead through the hole and to the other side.
Fracture was correct, it didn't take long for Orca to find the fox den. Her hackles rose along her back and shoulders, her head held high and ears at attention she watched the small creatures, they regarded her just as alertly as she did them. An ear slanted back, checking for Fracture. Then, she charged forward with a pathetic little puppy snarl. Long legs and giant paws took her quickly but awkwardly to the foxes that panicked but charged been perhaps they had pups in the den? Orca didn't pause to think about that like she should have.
The girl flung herself at one fox, jaws parting to bite down hard on...well any part of the fox to be honest. A mouth full of fur and flesh greeted her, but so did the pain of the fox biting into her shoulder. She yelped, recoiling instantly. She'd never been hurt before. Not like that. The pain burned through her shoulder but she'd started something and the fox did not care if she was young and inexperienced, it came at her again. Orca spit the fur from her mouth to prepare to fight back again.
