You Were My Conscience...

She watched the wolves closely, noting a large and small one. As she stood there crouching she realized that these two would probably finish the deer so it would be smart to move on to find something she had a chance of scavenging. Sperare was about to turn to her son and let him know they were going to move on but he suddenly ran towards the wolves. Fear and panic immediately rushed through her body as she watched him move closer to the wolves, did she not tell him enough about the dangers of other wolves? The danger of running up on them after they just killed an animal. It was crazy to do so and expect them to kindly share, you had to be tough in order to survive and that meant scaring others away from your kill and possibly killing them.

She wanted to run to him, yell at him. Wanted to snatch him up and run off as fast as possible, but when Iniko got within a couple feet of them, neither one of the wolves tried to scare him off or attack him. A heavy sigh of relief came from Sperare as she pushed herself up but there was still fear within her and anger for him just running up to them like that. The large wolf lay down and the smaller was talking to her son. Not wanting to just continue standing there she quickly moved, going at a run towards her son and the wolves.

"Iniko!" Her bark was full of worry, anger and relief. Running up behind her son, she quickly put herself betwee n him and the wolves, forcing him to have to take a few steps back or fall over. "I apologise for him running up to you like that, thank you for sparing him." She lowered her head to the wolves, her blue orange eyes not meeting theirs. As she stood there she slowly was moving away from them, forcing her son to do the same. Her head turned to him, her eyes meeting his, showing she was upset with iniko and better do as she told him or else he would be punished.
