Gabe turned his head at the sound of his name. He hardly recognized he voice, for it was harsh and displeased. Kalika had never sounded so angry, especially when mentioning his name. And the way she said, 'Gabriel' instead of his nickname, that really worried him. His ears flattened when he saw her, her beautiful ivory fur was bristling and her whole body was pointed with annoyance. He trotted towards her slowly, surprised still, confused and frightened. When he neared her, at a distance still for which he felt safe, he looked up at her.

What did I do? He asked, his words soft and nervous. He knew how things worked around here. Nobody would help him if Kalika turned on him. What had he done since their last encounter, when she had been his lover, to now when she was acting like an angry mother bear.
