 Rexx wasn't the type to panic and shrivel when scary things happened. He prided himself on being calm and cool when he needed to be, or at least, acting the part. But like Scald, even he grew concerned. First, there was the incident with Eden and that pup he didn't know. Yeah, he shrugged it off when the rumors arose about their mysterious - and supposedly violent - disappearance, but when Deluge vanished..that sent alarm bells ringing in the tusked boy's mind. He tried to shrug that off too, thinking his sister would reappear on the beach as quickly as she had left. But nothing happened. The concern for their sibling gnawed in his stomach, and he fond it difficult to sleep that night - not so much because of the growing pains that pounded in his jaw and spine, but the lingering worry that his sister was in trouble. So when Scald poked him, the boy stirred, clearly not in a deep slumber. Sparrow mentioned that no pups should leave the beach until the matters were settled and the mystery was solved, but he and Scald knew they couldn't leave Deluge wandering wherever she was by herself. Not in good conscience. Rexx slipped out of the den with his quilled brother, Flurry tucked away in the den with their father's companions. She was safe and sound, at least. As Scald tracked a faint scent on the west coast, Rexx followed, inhaling the sand deeply for any notion of a trail. He loped with Scald, keeping up a strong pace with his top-heavy limbs propelling him, as sand gave way to earth, then grass, and after miles upon miles of wandering, they'd reached a murky region. The dry dirt seeped into marshy wetness that seeped between his large paws, and it was then that Scald worriedly mentioned he'd lost the scent. The tusked boy, normally so confident himself, frowned and his brow furrowed. He stood and scented the air a while, nostrils flaring for any grasp of a scent for their missing sister. He hated to admit, this place felt so far from home. Strange, unfamiliar, and definitely not a place for naive little puppies to be wandering about. But Rexx swallowed back the rising bile of anxiety in his throat, feeling a tinge of hope as he smelled something in the depths of the murky region, and he glanced to Scald. "I think I smell her up this way," He said, his voice lacking the cocky demeanor he always carried. It was flat, tense. He was worried, and he wouldn't admit it, but this place freaked him out a little. The birds were unfamiliar, too, their quacking sharp and grating. He'd chase them off, but he knew they had a mission to follow through on. Find their sister. Get her home safe. word count: 797/1500 |
