Stone Circle layaway

Sunny had awoken to find daddy gray was gone, and he looked around the dark den for a few moments before letting out a sleepy yawn. He carefully peeled himself away from Dawn and walked to the entrance of the den, to watch the snow fall. The snow was so beautiful, The fact of how every flake was made different and Unique only to disappear in a few moments and be replaced by another intrigued him for some reason. This morning was slightly colder than usual and he had to shift away from the opening of the den to avoid the breeze that stung his eyes and made them water.



Turning his head back to Dawn he smiled softly his chest becoming filled with an emotion he had yet to name, but one that warmed him from the inside out. His sister was so precious and small (Even though he was the same size), and he wanted to protect her forever. Mama still hadn't come back home and he had come to resign himself to the fact that maybe she had disappeared just like the snowflakes, here one moment and gone forever the next. The thought saddened him and he felt a keening rise in his throat, and lifted his muzzle to the air releasing a small series of howls. It was the first time he had made such a sound but it made him feel better, so he continued to howl long drawn out high pitched sounds until he couldn't anymore. Once done he lay down and put his head on his paws, staring out into the field waiting for his daddy to come back again.
