Oh You Know Her

Instead he did what to Cara, resentful little Cara, seemed like a refusal to apologize or even awknowlegde his mistakes. Her eyes narrowed into thin sliths of pale yellow as the the youngling, stood motionless, waiting for her to leave the words aside and jump into action.
An action that would terminate him.

He was not going to die today; at least not in her arms.
"I won't kill you" she stated, her eyes still fixed on him as he cowered restlessly under her gaze. "Unless you repeat what has been done today" she continued, her voice hardening sternly as she sought to make him wriggle under her scruntinizing eyes now. She could not cave in these rules into the blank slate that was his brain as if it were a piece of paper and her words were ink, but she could engrave them with something else: discipline.

Subtly, she allowed her lip to raise over her gums to reveal her teeth in a fleeting snarl that was gone almost as fast as it had arrived. Maybe he had not yet proved himself of use to the pack, maybe --until now-- he was showing the complete opposite, but maybe he could redeem himself.
Just like she had.

Kids, teenagers, mistakes & redeemptions.
