Uncertainty

Loccian watched in silence as the pup began to whine, lowering her head when the shewolf had approached. Mommy and Daddy left me behind. Her small voice spoke up, causing Loccian's throat to tighten, eyes go wide. Why, why would parents leave their child out here all alone? Why would they leave her here to be potentially killed by something intent on making her its prey? But then it hit her, maybe they left her because they died? Or maybe they just couldn't support both her and themselves. Poor things.

Seeing the pup shivering made the shewolf want to lay down beside her, curl up in a ball to keep her warm, but she wasn't sure the pup would like being so close to a stranger. Who knew if she even encountered wolves who weren't her parents. Mom wasn't moving... and Dad brought me here and then left. Her heart dropped, her question answered. The mother must have died, and not being able to take care of the pup, the father left her. All she could do was slowly shake her head, her grey eyes looking in the same direction as the pup. She was on her own now.

I will not hurt you little one, never will. She answered her in a gentle tone, taking a few steps forward so that she was standing just in front of the pup before lowering her head to be leveled with hers. What is your name darling? I am Loccian, a friend. Getting a name would be the first step to trying to gain the pup's trust, she just hoped she would cooperate and go with her, and not ask about if her parents would come back.
