Unexpected guests

Viper was hardly labeled a mother even to Cerberus and he was noticing that more and more as the days went on. Viper everyday dumped him with Siren and sure she was doing her duty to the pack but maybe just a little too much. She didn't like to stay around her area of the island for too long, there was more chance of her getting caught up with Chimera then. Cerberus didn't know what their inner qualms were, but he could sense the tension between his birth mother and father even when they weren't together.

He stayed mostly quiet when he spent his days with Siren, and it was probably seen by those like Dalila and now his new half-siblings. He didn't know it but soon he would have more. He was quiet but not like Viper. He took lessons from Siren when she was able and observed and helped her in the green house too. He spoke when spoken to or asked questions if he had any, but otherwise kept to himself. He was definitely far from the average pup who would have been full of energy and want to run all around to explore the world. He knew he had time in his life to do so, but he was content with his life here on the island. He didn't need to go anywhere else.

He also felt safe here. He was maybe naive to the outside dangers of the world, but he also knew better somehow. He trusted the wolves of the pack and knew not to wander off with strangers, but didn't understand how much trouble he could be in even if he chose not to follow a stranger like how they would retaliate. He was still young and small and needed the protection of Chimera, Viper, and the pack. But being without Siren and instead with Dalila did not make him feel any different. Dalila was another he felt he knew well, or maybe not so well but he had seen her plenty of times while she spent so much time with Siren.

The changes of the world around him didn't seem to bother him much. He after all hadn't been around too long though he did sense that this wasn't exactly normal. He felt the tension of the adults around him, but he didn't let that wrack his nerves. Watching the scarce fireflies on their way to the greenhouse, he didn't speak a word. His paws led him inside as Dalila opened the door and they had a better look at the strangely bright, glowing plants inside. No, this wasn't how the greenhouse had reacted to the full haunting moon before. This was his first time seeing it as well. His nose poked around the soil, but the herbs didn't necessarily seem different other than the same glow he had seen in the birds that had stalked him. The fireflies only floated around gently around them and the greenhouse plants as an eerie silence surrounded them. Mooooovvveee, was just a breath in his head he assumed came from the voices of the fireflies like he had heard before. His head turned to look behind him where he was met with a rather large raccoon that seemed to only be waiting to jump scare him. It leapt up nearly on top of him since he was still small with his age. His reflexes moved quick though as he started thrashing around, disrupting some of the greenhouse supplies surrounding him. He didn't think he was really fighting for his life, but he knew for sure this strange possessed Raccoon certainly meant him harm.
