Stavanger Bay breaking in

hope you don't mind me butting in... not exactly adult supervision ^^;

Charon woke up, let out a long, drawn-out yawn and smacked his lips a few times as he looked around. His right ear twitched as sleepy eyes observed the den. It was quiet this morning. Not that Levi was really that noisy, as he had been a quiet and sad boy most of the time so he didn't take up much space, but...

Wait, where was Levi? Charon instantly rose and looked around. Nope, no Levi. He ran outside and sniffed around the clearing to try and find his brother, but the only scents he found were old.

His heart racing in his chest, Charon started to run around the area surrounding the clearing, while shouting "Levi!", but he didn't find his quiet brother. Charon knew that the smartest thing to do was get an adult, but he was afraid that Levi had been taken by whatever had taken Kevlyn and Liyaní, and the adults had done nothing to get them back, so maybe if he didn't act fast Levi would be far over the horizon too!

With that frightening thought in his mind, Charon started to run towards no man's land, figuring that someone evil who would take his brother would take him out of the pack. He just so happened to run in about the right direction, even though he was only half trying to follow Levi's scent and mostly just running far away from the den because surely that's where he would have been taken.

After a good while of running, the pup saw his brother come into view; with another wolf! Charon quickly ran to his brother's side and tried to look as menacing as he could (although, since he was still a pup, he probably didn't look half as angry and dangerous as he thought he did) as he bared his teeth at the adult that was casually chatting with Levi. "Go 'way!" hissed Charon venomously. "Leave Levi 'lone!" In Charon's mind, the adult wanted to take Levi away and the only way to protect his sibling was to chase off the intruder.
