Prodigies

All of the fantastical dancing colors and lights that kept showing up in the sky had very quickly become her favorite thing in the whole world. Her father usually gave in to her or her siblings requests to stay up with them and go out to see the lights for a while until he finally forced them to get to bed, but tonight he refused, saying he was too tired from a long day of doing things around the pack. Even her best pouts and pleading hadn't swayed him. With a disappointed sigh she had finally allowed her parents to tuck her in with the rest of her siblings, their mother and father laying down a short distance away in their own bed. She pretended to fall asleep as well, listening as one by one the sounds of heavier breathing and quiet snores began to fill the air around her. That's when she opened one eye to peek around her just to make sure they were actually all asleep before she began to carefully slip out of the bed, moving super super slowly so that her soft paws made absolutely no sound until she was well out of the den. Perfect!

With a triumphant grin she picked up the pace and started working her way down the winding path toward the lake at the middle of the island. They had a pretty good view of the lights from the clearing outside of their den and she had watched them from there plenty of times, but if either of her parents woke up and realized she was gone she didn't want them to be able to bring her back inside right away! She wouldn't go far, of course, but she wanted to buy herself a little time at least! As she drew closer to the lake, the sound of the water lightly lapping at the shore getting louder and louder, she spotted a figure already on the rocky shore and she paused, peeking out from around a tree to make sure it wasn't someone that would tattle on her if they saw her. Luckily it was just Daemon who she was certain wasn't supposed to be out here this late either so now she had a partner in crime!

She trotted out to where Deamon was staring at the sky with rapt fascination-which she completely understood–and sat herself down beside him, staring up at the sky as well. "If you tattle on me I'll tattle on you," she said matter of factly, glancing his way before she went back to taking in the auroras that were dancing above them. She did love looking at them out here since the colors were reflected on the water and it made the auroras even more magical so it was even more worth coming down here to look at them even if it would get her in even more trouble later.
