Stone Circle A girl worth fighting for

@Hawthorne @Murdock

That afternoon hadn't been all bad. The weather was growing quite cold, but Steph thought it was bareable in the sun. She had gone exploring, hoping to run into Moo, like usual. This time, he was proving harder to find. It was now evening, and the sun was well into setting. Pink and purple lit up the sky, but it was darkening quickly. Steph wasn't accustomed to being out in the dark alone, but what worried her the most was the cold. The chill that set in once the sun wasn't there to warm her was something she had never felt before. 

Steph shivered as she paused in her search for the den. You'd think after having gotten lost so many times, she'd learn her way back. But, there was always an adult to take her back to the den, and therefore she never paid attention to where they were going. She whined, growing colder by the second. An eight week old pup was no match for impending winter. In an effort to attract an adult, she began barking as loudly as she could. Surely, an adult would be nearby and help her.
