Misty Falls

Lucas

Lucas could tell the awkward silence between them, so he cleared his throat and asked, "SO what made you think of an idea like that?" Now he was wondering why he asked, he felt confused and surprised. Looking at the female wolf dog again he added, "I'm sorry I shouldn't ask that kind of question." He glanced down at his paws, his silver eyes looking down at the soft dirt below them.

Raven felt Raiden shuffle around next to her. She felt him lift her up and resisted the urge to snarl. He laid her back down and she heard him walk away. The familiar scent and warmth from the male faded away as he slipped out of the cave. She opened her eyes halfway and watched him walk away. He turned around the wall of the waterfall and was gone. She curled her tail around her, now not feeling very comfortable at all without him there. She sighed. She turned and walked back into the cave. She was curious about it. She padded in deeper, her claws echoing on the rock. Her eyes grew accustom to the darkness as she went deeper into the ground. A light shape caught her eye. She approached it slowly. She couldn't tell what it was. An egg? A dead snake coiled up? Or could it simply be a stone. She didn't know. She tapped it with her paw and it rolled over like a ball. She knew what it was immediatly. The bleached color, the sharp edges and holes. She sniffled a gasp and backed away as the skull continued to stare at her. Her hackles raised. She looked around frantically. The other bones from the wolf were scattered around the cave. There were more than one. Suddenly she didn't fell safe at all. She ddin't like it her. The elegance outside covered the dark secrets hidden deep within the earth. This pack had starved to death, or had killed and eaten each other. The marks in the bones was evident enough. They had gotten trapped in this cave or lost in its tunnels. She turned and ran. The light at the end of the tunnel was very welcoming and almost blinding to her eyes, that were now used to the dark. She turned around the wall of the cave, feeling the rocks skitter under her feet and over the edge into the water. She hurried away from the waterfall, as if something was chasing her and she didn't stop until she was at the den and collasped exhausted by the log.
