Eilidh crawled through the first door on her belly. Tail tucked between her legs, she looked around at the dark scary sky. So many had gathered, and the sounds of song and voice filled the air. She felt that they were calling out to the light, to the sun to come out and free the world of the darkness. Eilidh gulped. Grey eyes looked back and forth. Where are her siblings? Her parents? They were all strangers! She felt herself wanting to cry, and her eyes filled with tears.
Then she heard something. In the voices, she distinguished...two friends. Stardust AND Ketamine! In a panic, she lifts her head up. Her paws skitter her small body around, weaving between wolves until she sees the two from her pack. Eilidh scurries between the two, huddling in their fur as they sang. It takes her a moment, but she finally feels a little bit better.
A little bit.
Just a little.
It was enough that the desire to sing overcame her fear, and she licked her nose before singing a song. A bird song that she had been practicing...though it wasn't very good.
