I try to listen eagerly when he starts to tell me about something else I'll need. I'm impatient, dancing on the balls of my feet. What will I need? Tell me, tell me! I want to nag him, want to yell at him to tell me but I know that wouldn't be polite and Sulan hasn't been anything but kind to me. He doesn't finish that sentence but he successfully distracts me when he tells me about the prey and how it should mostly run. My eys are full of fear and what if's. What if it doesn't? What if it turns on us? What if it's bigger and stronger? He tells me to avoid the head and I tilt my head, puzzled. "But isn't the head where the neck and throat is? I thought you have to bite the throat to kill the prey? That's what dad always said." I scowl, not understanding. Is there another way to kill them? When he tells me not to get too excited, I feel ashamed, thinking about the squirrel incident. He agrees that it is like the squirrel and that we want to avoid that. I nod in eagerness. "I will, Sulan. I'll try real hard." He tells me to come with him and I follow in excitement. When I bump him with my nose, I'm sure he can tell that I really want to go but he crouches and I copy him, pricking my ears to listen to him. He tells me we have to wait and I scowl but nod slowly. I don't have to be happy about it but I promised him I would do better and I'm going to try hard not to mess it up. I stay close to him, shifting on my toes. When can I go? We move closer and finally he pauses. For the longest time he stares at the hare and I'm afraid it's going to know we're looking and take off. I keep looking at him, a whine building in my throat. Can I go now? He gives me the cue and I'm about to launch when he suddenly says wait. What?! I look up at him, a really bad scowl on my face this time and I'm about to seriously whine out loud and send the rabbit running but something about his face throws me off. What's wrong? Why does he look worried? I look back at the hare but it's gone and I part my lips to complain about him making us lose our kill when suddenly he pushes me to the side. "Hey!" I yell in protest as I stumble to the side but as I right myself, I look at Sulan and blink. Another wolf is there and he's biting Sulan! My ears fold back and my lips curl back, my hackles rising. What the heck is he doing? "Hey, stop that! Leave him alone!" I yell at the wolf. Sulan falls down on his back but he uses the moment to push at the wolf and get his neck free. I snarl but I know I'm not big enough to take out the wolf. Why is he attacking? Sulan shouts at me and I react with a jump, looking at him in hesitation. He wants me to run? My tail tucks and my ears flick back. But...I don't want to leave him. None the less, I know that I can't do anything and maybe if I run home, I can get some help for Sulan. I look at him in determination. "Sulan, I'll get help!" I glare at the other wolf one last time before turning and launching toward Diveen. male.1 year old.41 inches, 195 lbs.Natalya x Devil May Cry.brother to Jakayden.unable to imprint.no mate.no children.birthed in Diveen The End  |
