Swimming with the sharks till we drown

It was quiet and dark, but the pup was barely able to sleep, even with her brother right beside her. Everything felt so empty and the den seemed huge without the forms of her siblings there or the large form of their guardian there. She slightest sound that her mother's paws made when she slipped into the den made the pup stir, but Jain stayed still, frozen with the worry that her senses were playing tricks on her and that it was some intruder and not her mother. Or perhaps no one at all.

Soon her fears disappeared as the larger form of Alena settled down next to her and the warmth of her tongue pulled Jian completely out of the shallow sleep she had been able to manage. The pup blinked open her bright blue eyes and a huge smile broke out over her muzzle at the sight of her mother. Jian scrambled to her paws, throwing herself at her mother's ivory form, pressing herself into her warm fur with her tail whipping happily behind her.

The strangely patterned pup suddenly stopped at her mother's question, her gaze taking on worry and confusion. "I dunno," she answered honestly, her black-colored ears folding back against her skull. "We woke up one day and Dempsey was gone and then Calix and Tocan wondered off while you were gone and I haven't seen them..."

She glanced over to her brother. First Nako, then Dempsey, and now Calix and Tocan. They were all gone... But at least Lel and her mom was still here. The two wolves she cared the most about hadn't disappeared. She looked back to her mom, hoping she would have some sort of answers. What would they do now?
