Keeping Darkness

Andromeda's growls would begin to harmonize with Gaia's and the game was on. Each girl tugging back from her sister, trying to gain the upper hand on their opponent. Gaia would tug her hardest, determined to gain the piece of wood as her own. Back and forth they would tug, slowly wearing down the integrity of their toy. As Gaia would heave one last time the stick would suddenly break right down the middle. Gaia would not see her sister tumble backwards, she could only guess Andromeda did the same as she. Gaia would tumble backwards, landing mere centimeters from her sleeping brothers. Her head would be thrown against the floor painfully, almost hard enough that she would not hear her sister's revelation.?

"Oooouuuuch" she would groan as she slowly picked herself from the ground. Her ears perking up as the little golden female would speak her name, following with describing something as very big. From where her voice came from Gaia could only guess that her sister had tumbled outside. "Are you outside? Oh!" she was awed, the ashen girl would paw her way to where her sister's voice had come from. She couldn't feel the openness but at once she would feel so much less confined. "What's it look like Andromeda? Does it have boundaries like the den? already she could feel the texture of the earth changing beneath her paws, blades of grass would tickle between her toes as she pushed her side into her sister's form. She really didn't want to lose her.?
