Small brown paws carried the young femme through the trees as she headed towards the direction of home, or what she thought was home. She had been going out on more and more adventures, sneaking out during the day when her mother was asleep. Her first adventure had given her enough of a taste that she needed more. She didn’t want to just stay within their den and the area outside it where her and her siblings played. She wanted to see the rest of the world and all the new sights and sounds that it had to offer. After her first time out had lasted longer than she meant it to, she was more careful so her parents wouldn’t worry. She would make sure to be back before her mother woke up, knowing that Macaria couldn’t come after her until the sun was fully down. Growing up with a vampire for a mother might seem scary to some, but her mom was like any other and loved her pups. She was not some cold blooded killer that was out for blood, though the pup didn’t know the details of how her mother fed and stayed alive. These were things that she still didn’t fully grasp, not really understanding what it meant to be a vampire and that Macaria had to actually drink the blood of another wolf. For now her innocence just assumed being a vampire meant that they didn’t go out during the day, not really realizing that her mother never ate the meat that her dad and herself did.
But the day was beginning to come to a close, which meant that today’s adventure was also done. She hadn’t wandered off too far, knowing that she needed time to get back home, but it was still fun to be out and about away from the den. Missandei wondered if any of her siblings would ever join her on these runs, or if they would continue to stay within the den. The young femme somehow got turned around though, and was not heading back towards her home but had wandered far from it. She was used to Uyaraut’s lands where there were no trees and the sounds of the ocean were nearby. But she had wandered to a different area, also with few to no trees so she thought she was on the right track. But instead of coming towards the ocean, there were now mountains before her. She had never seen mountains and hills like this before and all the caves and caverns that could be seen with them. Yellow flecked orbs widened when she saw the new landscape, and she knew that she was going to risk the anger of her parents to stay out longer. She couldn’t just turn around without exploring some part of these new lands.
With an excited yip the pup ran forward, climbing up one of the hills her short limbs running to get her to the top. She hadn’t realized that she just crossed over into a new pack, and that it was now a very dangerous pack to be in. Missandei was too busy exploring to notice. Her audettes did perk up when the sounds of a commotion reached her. She cocked her head, trying to determine what was going on, and the sounds of another pup crying out reached her. It sounded like someone was in trouble! Remembering when she recently needed to be rescued by her friend Hondo, she quickly ran to the rescue, not realizing what she was getting herself into. What she saw scared her, and made her want to run away from the whole thing, but she also couldn’t. She was glued to the spot, just staring as a large scary looking male chased a pup and tackled her, both of them being thrown to the ground as he bit her. She let out a gasp of shock when she saw the way that he bit and licked at her, as if he was doing it for fun. But why would he be doing that to such a small pup? Surely this other female was not dangerous to him.
Swallowing down her fear, or trying to anyways, she forced her paws forward, rushing down the hill to try and help the stranger. ”Stop it!” Soft vocals rang out, trying to get the attention of the male and make him realize how much he was hurting the femme. Missandei knew she was no match for the adult, but she couldn’t just stand by and watch this happen. Her mottled brown and red form ran into him, trying to push him off of the snow white femme who she could now see was bleeding and hurt. ”Why are you being such a bully?!” She wanted to sound like she wasn’t afraid, like she knew what she was doing. But she didn’t and she was afraid, knowing that this male could easily kill both the pups within seconds if he wanted to. But she had done nothing wrong, so surely he wouldn’t hurt her.
