Grusha & Tae We are just a word to you, but we are very real and cold; Cold to all of this Cold to how you feel Cold to all your loose reason The inside of the cave was far less interesting than whatever was lurking outside of it. Grusha had the uncanny desire to stick her head out of the mouth of the cave and look. She wanted to know what it was, if it had fur or scales, how big it was, and if it was easy to kill. The wolf mother, however, seemed to have encountered the thing outside of the cave already and that made the girl suspect that the wound on her flank was left by the thing. A wicked little grin curled Grusha's mouth as her sister snagged the squirrel she'd left behind in favor of one of the pups. As soon as she got the little squished body of the tree rat into the cave the larger twin snagged it by the tail. The other carcasses, the rats and the snake, that had been draped across her back lay discarded at the mouth of the cave, having been lost in her attempt at squeezing inside. She would just pick them up later on their way back out after the thing was gone. "Wha d'ya think it ith?" She mumbled her question around a mouthful of the squirrel's furry tail. She stared at the mouth of the cave and drifted several steps toward it as she heard sounds from outside. Whatever it was it was big and she wanted to see what it was. But Tae's distraction became Grusha's distraction and she turned and ambled toward the back of the cave and stood beside her twin. There, on an old pelt, were two black eggs. Over the echo of the noise from outside she could hear the scratching of claws against the inside of the egg. Once more the squirrel was dropped, discarded and forgotten for a moment as she positioned herself between the mother wolf and the eggs. Her ears perked forward as she listened to the scratching coming from inside the egg and she began to look for cracks to spiderweb across the surface of it. Like her twin, Grusha would not aid whatever was inside with hatching. Neither of them had help when they were hatched, so why should they help something else? "." |
