Swimming with the sharks till we drown

ooc: This is starting in the Red Forest at Alena's den and will move to Amenti once the pups are gathered <3 It was so good to be home. The darkness hid most of the Red Forest from view, but she could see outlines of the many trees that dotted the territory in the moonlight. She padded along silently, the meeting she had just had with Deteste in the back of her mind. There would be plenty of time to think about that later. For now, she needed to go to her children. She had been away from them for quite long enough. She was ready to take them to their new home, for better or worse. She was excited to see the silver form of their caretaker as well. That thought sped along her steps even more. She moved swiftly through the trees on silent paws and soon her den came into view. It wouldn't be her den for much longer, but for now it was hers and inside would be her family. She slowed her steps as she approached the den, a soft smile on her muzzle. She poked her head inside before quietly slipping in and glancing around the den through the shadows of night. She couldn't see well, but she could tell from the scents that something was off. Her smile disappeared and her brow creased. Calix, Tocan, and Dempsey's scents were stale. But how could that be? She carefully padded around the den in the dark till she scented out her remaining two pups, sinking to her stomach beside Jian and Lel. Her ears folded back against her skull as she gazed at the sleeping pups, her heart aching with worry for the rest of her children. Where could they be? "And where the hell is Dempsey? she thought. She had trusted him, let him watch after her pups. And now he was gone and apparently so were two more of her children. Before she let herself jump to conclusions, Alena lapped gently at her pups, slowly waking Jian and Lel in turn. One son and one daughter. That's all that remained from her litter of five healthy children. She brushed her muzzle along their sides tenderly as she spoke softly, "Jian, Lel, I'm home... Where are your siblings? Where is Dempsey?" Speech Thought Others |
