Why Didn't You Tell Me?

Since around the time of their birthday, Dusk had been rather grumpy. Little bumps had been pushing through her skull and she often had a headache. Thankfully her aunt Gwyn knew what to do and helped with the pain. Her mom told her that she was growing antlers just like she had and that was cool and all, but ouch...

The bristly, crochety girl had been avoiding everyone. Not only did she have antlers growing, but that first wash of adolescent hormones was kicking her right in the tail. She was pretty sure that she could breathe fire if she tried hard enough. Once she'd caught wind of the goings on with Talyssa... she was definitely ready to do just that.

The obsidian girl stalked through the halls of the castle looking for her sister. Dusk followed Talyssa's scent to the lounge and could hear shuffling within. With one paw, Dusk slammed the door open, not caring that it went crashing thunderously into the stone wall. Blood orange eyes narrowed in a glare as she walked towards her sister. It looked as though Dusk might be ready to fight her sibling, but instead she pulled the earthen wolf into her embrace. "Why didn't you tell me that someone was trying to hurt you?" Dusk was angry, but she was also terrified. What if something had happened to Talyssa? She didn't even want to think about it.
