Blood-Streaked Reunion

By the way, Lusa's post was beautiful!!!!! I loved it!

The mention of a walk made Baldur nervous. The last time he had left the cave, he had been held captive for weeks. What if it happened again? He had just made it back to his mom and siblings. "Do we have to?" He had grumbled, tiny ears planted firmly against his small head. But his mom said nothing to his whining. Eyes squinted and nose wrinkled with frustration, he unwillingly followed along.

On the walk, every little sound made him jump. He even growled at any movement that he caught in the corner of his eye. But mother was there with them. She would protect them. Lusa hadn't been able to last time though. Baldur looked up at his mom, hoping she was well enough to fight off any threats.

Just as he wondered about his mom, something came rushing up behind them. Baldur squealed in surprise, snarling at the blur of a figure. It tackled his mom, pulling her to the ground. Chevalier stayed where he was, watching. Baldur backed up against his brother, hoping that the wolf wouldn't notice them. But his mom didn't fight back like he had thought she would. Instead the figure called her name and she remained where she was until he let her go. Baldur wanted to yell at her, but nervousness kept him silent.

Then his mom did the weirdest thing. She got close to the large male wolf, touched his snout and rubbed against his neck. He looked the wolf over, noticing that there was blood all over his coat. Was his mom not fighting because this wolf was injured? Or did she just not care about her pups?

Baldur felt angry then. Angry that his parents had let him be pupnapped and furious now that his mom was not fighting back. Did her pups mean anything to her at all? With a yip, he ran up behind the large male and gave his tail a hard bite. If mom wouldn't protect them, then he would make sure that he wouldn't be pupnapped again. He was determined not to be taken from his family. Baldur didn't want to lose the siblings he had not had the chance to bond with yet.
