Odette sat quietly outside of the den, about ten feet away.  It was late afternoon and the little pup had just woken up from a three hour nap, so her eyes still drooped a little and her focus wasn't as keen, then again she was also very  hungry, so that was probably just taking it's toll to.  Odette stomach gave a rumble and she looked down sadly at her paws.  The pup wondered why they had been put in this situation.  Why was it suddenly so hard to get prey for these last twoish months.  It made no sense at all.  Had someone done something wrong?  Something horribly bad?  Was that why her pack had been put in this situation?  Odette didn't know.

Odie's puppy blue eyes lazily rolled around her sorroundings, wondering if anyone was around.  It would be especailly nice to have some quality time with her siblings, but she supposed that they were probably back sleeping in the den or on their own agenda, as she did not see any of them.  So instead Odette just sat there starring at her sorroundings.  It was then that Odette finally remembered something.  Guilt.  How last time she had been with that brown furred female and had discovered on her own account, that her Father's death was probably because of her.  Odette sniffled at the thought.  If only she had been a better daughter... then maybe she would have still had a Father.

Odette was able to get a few more moments of deppressing thought in when all the sudden a big grey make crashed... literally crashed into the scene.  All of those deppressing thoughts just vanished for the moment and turned into shock and surprise.  For ten seemingly long seconds Odette didn't do anything at all, just held still with her still sad expression.  Then slowly over that ten seconds she realized what was going on, which made her go all scared and submissive.  Who was this wolf?

Odette let out a frightened, yet surprising loud bark, as she began to creep away from the stranger with her tail tucked, ears pinned, belly low and fur brushing the ground, all the while wriggling backwards.  "Who aw you..."  Odie whined.  "Sta way fro me!"  She then yelped, hoping that this wild wasn't the big, scary intruder that she thought him to be.

Remembering that Niita and Phocion had said the same thing, Odie slowly and cautiously approached with a frown.  Yet did not yet all too close to Zeke, as this male called himself.  Although she felt a little safer to hear Uncle Steady's name mentioned.  

Odie gave Zeke a nervous side long glance and then frowned, looking suddenly unsure.  "An haw da I know that you awn't lien?"  Odette questioned Zeke nervously.  The littlest of the four pups then quietly and nervously waited for Zeke to give her a hopefully good answer.

So tgis was the guy that had brought that rabbit!  Odette sighed in relief, and loosened up a little, but still kept her distance.  Suddenly another idea came to her.  What if Zeke was lying?  It was quite possible wasn't it... so that he could just get to her.  Odie refrained from getting any closer to Zeke, just in case.  There was also the fact that he had claimed Krypton to be her Aunt, when Krypton claimed to not be apart of her family.  Interesting...

"Ha da I know dat your naw lying abut bwinging da wabbit?  Pwus Kipton is naw ma Aunt."  Odie questioned him and pointed out.  She hoped that this wasn't some creep that was trying to get to her.  The thought just made Odette loose even more confidence and the pup slunk back even further.

After this, Odette noticed she did mostly trust Zeke.  After all pretty much everything he said lined up... yet what if he was pretending to be someone named Zeke, when he was really some guy named Murph or Bill or Bob or Tartok or maybe even Harold!  Fear gripped her even tighter at this frightening realization.  There was also that fact that Zeke - or whatever his name was - told her that he would leave to go back to his den if she wanted him to... but what if he tried to eat her on the way!  Odette whimpered.

"Ha da I evon know dat you Zeke, when you cuh be pattending ta be him, buh accually be soooomone else?"  The pup whinned in fear, then continued on to talk about the eating part.  "Wah if ya eeat meeee!"  Odette then squealed, sharp fear shinning in her currently bluish greenish eyes.

Odette felt sorta bad about the situation as Zeke began to walk away, because she suddenly realized that he probably wasn't some evil, mean wolf that was out to get her.  Probably.  He had been rather polite just before he left so maybe she had been wrong?  Odette wasn't sure, but knew that she would keep an eye out just in case of a next time.

The fluffy pup watched Zeke disappear from sight, and then Odie began to stroll back to the den, throwing just a few glances over her shoulder, jsut in case Zeke changed his mind, came back and tried to eat her.  Nothing happened.  Soon ODette was back in the den though, and took a nice little nap in peace.
