Carried away by a moon shadow

Oracle jumped slightly as the voice pierced the night around her, the voice was not that of a stranger however and so she didn't panic, but she had been caught out of the den, ?mama , I ...? she didn't finish her sentence what was she going to say, that she was sorry? She wasn't not really she loved it out here on the loose sand it was the only home she knew, she felt safe here, she couldn't know what the chill in the air might mean, she had never seen a winter before. Still her head dropped slightly as the crab she had been persuading slipped away into its hole and she waited for a reprimand but nothing came, cautiously she lifted her gaze ma looked troubled, Oracle took a few steps closer a worried look on her face was something wrong, had she made Ocena sad?
?ma,? she started but just then another of the creatures scuttled over her paw, she flinched refocusing her attention on the many tiny creatures re-emerging from their shelters, there where just so many of them she watched as one stopped and began to pick at the sand, did they eat sand? What was their purpose did they taste good? The questions began to bubble up into her little mind again as she turned once more looking up at her ma's black and white coat and loving two toned eyes, ?ma, what are they?? wonder and confusion coloured her voice as she looked at the woman the repository of all wisdom there was nothing her mum wouldn't know. She would bet she knew all about the creature at the bottom of the ocean, an other more urgent question popped into her mind and she looked up a frightened look on her face, ?do they eat wolves?? |
