The Den~

Tiny paw steps echoed around near a bush, a small pup stepped out, her blue eyes wide. "M-Momma!" She cried out loud, her voice trembling. She sat down, her tounge lolling out of her mouth. "Momma!" She cried again then started to whine loudly. She got up and walked around, her head down and her tail draging the soil.
She collaped on a rock and started crying. Her warm puppy scent filling the air around her.

The young pup, not knowing much about survival, stood and walked to the stranger wolf. "H-Have you seen my Momma? She was fighting a bear and I got scared and ran..." She looked at the adult wolf.

The pup paused and looked down. "She must be dead then..." She sighed. "Oh...I'm Maya, its nice to meet you, Tender."

Maya smiled a bit. She looked down a bit shyly. "I'm Maya, I think my mother was killed today..." She said quietly, remembering the bear her mother was fighting just before Maya ran off.

Maya smiled a bit, feeling comforted as she curled into a ball and rested her paws.

A hour later,
Maya woke, she yawned then jumped out of the older wolf's paws and started searching around, looking for a stick or something to play with.

Maya paused, she had an idea, slowly, she slipped into a bush and went into the shadows. She returned a miniute later with a mouse in her jaws. She brought it over to Tender then went off in search of another. She once again returned with another mouse but dropped it. Where was the other wolf? She picked it up and started searching a sniffing wildly.

Maya caught the other one's scent and ran off quickly after her, the mouse clinged in her jaws. As she begain running she tripped over a rock and rolled down a hill she soon splashed into a muddy puddle, the mouse went flying and landed in the water. Confused, she rolled back up, and shook some mud out of her fur. "I thought she was here?" She said to herself, seeing the wolf was no where. She stopped suddenly, then kicked some mud. "I missed her." She grunted then made the trip back up the hill, without the mouse.
When she made it back on top, she saw the two wolves and ran to them, mud splattering here and there.

Maya giggled. "I went looking for you, I caught you a mouse, but I lost it when I tripped down the hill."

flamelake laughed and helped to lick maya clean "you are filthy maya" He chuckled and stood up to shake the mud off himself too. "Now look er are all muddy" He laughed not been able to stay serious. He smiled at the small wolf anf nuzzled her belly tickling her.

Flamelake laughed before laying down he yawned and closed his eyes in the sun, His fur appeared even more golden in the sun, he smiled at teh sound of teh stillness and the heart beat of the wolves close by.

Maya giggled. She rolled over onto her paws then spotted a fairly sized crow. "Watch this." She whispered then got onto her belly. She crawled forward and froze, waiting.
The crow cawed loudly, having a talk with another bird far off. He hopped to a grassy spot and coninuted cawing.
Maya slowly arched forward, then, she took a deep breath and leaped. But her leap wasnt fast enough and crow spotted her and took off in a heart beat. Maya growled then landed like a cat on all fours. "Dangit! I almost had it." She sighed.
