He didn't want to wander away from the den. Being close to his family tugged at what emotions he had. It was the flicker of a shadow scurrying across a den that had caught his attention. While there was no division between night and day, not that he even knew what day was, the hours grew long and moon full overhead. Everyone around him was asleep as he peered out at the slopes of the volcano. Ghoul's small size lowered slightly as his red eyes latched onto the creature that scuttled away from the den. Quietly as his large paws could carry him, he followed the thing down the side of the volcano and into Redbud Nook. Tallgrass and flowering vegetation glowed neon as he tracked the animal with a twitch of his nose. There was no way he was going to let this thing getaway after trying to take something from the den. While he stumbled a few times over wobbly legs, the pup came upon the raccoon before it could make its escape. What he thought was a menacing growl rumbled up his throat as he leaned back on his haunches, lurched into a bow. Cornered against a thin tree, the masked mammal hissed back with swiping claws. With nowhere to go, Ghoul swiped back and aimed for its face. It glowed slightly as he noticed small fungi growing from its ears and around the corners of its mouth. The beady eyes that stared at him seemed hungry and in pain. Not that he cared. It had taken something from his home and he wasn't going to let it get away. word count: 273/1500 |
