Firefly Glen the night is dark and full of terrors

Ever since Rannoch and Lucy had decided it was time for sleep, the Xi had grown restless. As Lucy had easily settled for the night, Rannoch stayed awake to keep watch in case the monster was lurking about. When he was within the safety of the forest he had found it easy to stay awake and felt quite at ease within the comforts of the sprawling evergreens. But out here in the open? He was uneasy.

In addition to being on edge, the young cub took time to think about the family he had left behind in the forest. Though he knew he would be back in the morning he felt bad for leaving them without a word. What did Cypress think now that he was gone? Momma and Pappa? They were probably worried sick. Her shuffled at Lucky’s side at the thought. Also, what was the forest doing without him to protect the borders?

At the moment, he wasn’t quite sure.
