Haunted Wood Out like a light

Santiago has been lazing about in the grotto, enjoying the fresh spring air and sleeping his young years away. That is until, so faint and barely audible, Santiago hears a growl. Knowing it specifically as his mates, he stands and hops off the ledge of his nest. Instantly, he sprints to the males side. No matter if he was play fighting with someone or it was a real situation, he rarely ever hears Clarence growl and he’ll kill any that stand to mess with the piebald boy.

Upon further inspection, he realizes there’s something amiss. Then he knows there’s something amiss when he lands eyes on the cat like creature. A lynx. Instantly, he moves behind the animal, boxing it in. Coming out of the brush he bares his teeth savagely. Poised and ready to kill, he glances to Clarence, assuring him with his gaze alone that Santi’s got his back.
