Rain on my parade

The sight of the bear was enough to make Odette race from the place she stood. Its eyes flashed dangerously and she gave a loud bark before leaving her piece of ground. She didn't care about anything that would happen to her, as long as she survived this day! Her paws clumsily carried her away in a failed attempt of a leap, but she continued to race through the large dome-like room of the cave. Gargoyle's instincts kicked in and she growled as she pushed herself past Crucifix, aiming for the rainy atmosphere outside. In no time at all, the two wolves were smack dab in the middle of the storm. Dark gray clouds continued to roll above them, sending down more rain than ever. The bear didn't leave the cave, but rather roared at the entrance before receding into its home. Odette's ears flattened against her head as she watched the massive creature retreat to its warm and dry cave. Jealousy swept through the air around her as she grumbled beneath her breath. "Never again." Silently, she looked at Crucifix with a ruby red and sapphire glare before blinking a couple of times to avoid rain water splashing in her eyes. "I don't think I will ever like a bear after what just happened!" She yelled, for the rain was still loud as ever. As the wind picked up around them, she started to shiver from the combination of water and air. Her thick coat was drenched to the skin and without another cave to slip into, she looked around through the raindrops for a sign of shelter. Finally, she saw it: a large rock-like structure with a big overhang to a rocky perch. Odette didn't waste any time. She sloppily raced through the rain, sliding across the wet ground to reach the perch. Her form began to carry more weight of the rain, making it harder for her to reach her destination. In about five minutes, she reached the base of the mountain before climbing the side of it. Her paws found nooks and crevices that could fit and she boosted herself up until she felt smooth and flat rock beneath her. Odette struggled, but she finally had all four legs planted on the perch. She turned to see if Crucifix needed help and intended to pull on his scruff to encourage his struggle. Once both were successfully on the ledge, she padded towards the edge to see the nasty, wet landscape. All of the color had been washed away and there was nothing but puddles and puddles. She sighed to herself and then shook herself free of the water. Once she knew that she was dry, she looked over to Crucifix and sighed softly. "Looks like we're stranded for awhile. If you're okay with that, then awesome. If not, well...we'll just make due." Silently, she padded towards the back wall and her whole body relaxed on the ground. Leaning against the wall, she sighed again and closed her eyes. "This will be something interesting to tell Grandma Erani." Talk like this |
