Something sweet and something dangerous

The seasons through lovelorn forests and tainted woods changed from a lush vibrant greenery full of verbosity and spring slowly transgressed into something lecherously dry and forelorned. The heat scintillating through her fur despite it thinning out so long ago to adjust to the weather change, exposing her wiry white silhouette to any others whom roamed near by. Neika didn't enjoy the idea of being so vulnerable and easily noticeable against the pallet of dry pine needles and wild berry shrubs now in season. It was becoming a frequent ritual to be left companion-less while her sibling Sirus seemed to busy himself with his own callings, which were either to pursue prey or study their surroundings,urging Neika into keeping herself entertained,which wasn't always an easy feat for the flighty wolf with an attention span that was unsurprisingly frivolous. Sadly though, Sirus had the responsibility of getting Neika out of toilsome situations and this one might not be any different, with a large stick clamped tightly within her dainty maw, Neika laboriously dragged the large Honey bee hive at the end of the stick across the rocky terrain one backwards tug at a time struggling in between the traction of weeds and rocks.

Every now and again the lanky she wolf paused to ascend her sticky nose loitered with grass and pine needles into the warm breeze to make sure that she was alone, the only sounds for now came from the tree tops above where ravens hopped from one shadowy branch to the next being curiously charmed at the theatrics being displayed down below.Sometimes they'd cackle to one another after ejecting a pine cone in Neika's direction causing the small wolf to skip back or even take the embarrassing blow to the top of her head. At least someone was having fun she thought. Neika gave the little flock of black birds a small chirp full of retort and irritation, after all this wasn't easy bringing her brother a gift as grandiose as this especially with a bear in the distance that was heavily on her track in hopes to retrieve the stolen object taken from her cubs and give retribution for the purloined theft.

Neika stood there for a moment trying to cope with the heat and the antagonists above her, with a full body shake and a snort from her nose the wolf began to drag the hive one painstaking inch at a time.

By the time she reached her destination, a clearing of dead grass Neika settled the honey hive on the ground to then circle around it as though to inspect its condition. Her long bushy tail slowly wagged in a proud momentum seeing she achieved exactly what she had hoped for, wanting to surprise her brother with a sweet gift it didn't occur to her that it might have been wise to place the hive far from their make shift sleeping quarters.It was the lack of experience Neika had that caused situations such as this to arise,disaster will strike with the swirling lack of Neika's consideration. Even with the best intentions behind circumstances such as this one , there was no telling what might happen.For in the truest sense, the young wolf hadn't known any better.

After trying to rub her sticky nose against dirt and dried grass to rid of the glue like sweetness from her fur had been quickly denoted ,as a smell of an unknown wolf aroused her nose,much like a shock to her senses Neika jerked and realized then , that she and her brother were on the ridge of a pack's territory. Coaxing her ears to rise from the back of her had as her body crafted an alert poise she listened intently for anything that was out of character. Blades of grass and dirt caked the wolf's maw even as she sneezed and snorted, doing her best to keep as quiet as she could; at least until Sirus came back to find and collect her . There was a noise in the near by shrubbery that stilled her with rapt attention.
