A night retreat

[sahara]

She had left her mate and pups behind with him. The ebony female needed her space, the family life was overwhelming at times. It was amazing how things could change so quickly, just a few years ago she felt lonely, like she just could not stand to be alone. Now, she relishes her alone time. Life was a mystery. Letting loose a sigh she managed to come across a Forest. She had been walking now for hours, she had snuck out of the cave undetected. The long walk had brought her here..to the Shadow Forest.

Even though she was now a mother of four, she was still young and a little naive at times. Taking a step into the forest she was unaware of the risk she was taking. This forest had a high probability of her getting lost, but she was unafraid...or more like ignorant. Her ears laid forward, but in a manner that suggested that she was being lazy. Zoning out as she walked, it was apparent that she was tired and unfocused. Her mind elsewhere...it would have been most likely in space. She was finding out quickly that being a mother was not easy, even though she was really good.

She knew that when she returned home that her mate was going to be severly upset with her, like he was already. The incident was still on her mind. The day a fox attempted to eat one of her babies. He was mad at her for chasing after it and killing it. However, she could not just let that fox go, she had to kill it. She let out another sigh as she was feeling bad now for sneaking out. Her eyes looked back behind her. She was going to head back home but as she was deep in thought, she managed to get rather deep into the woodland.

Turning around all she saw was darkness, "What?" she said to herself realizing she could not see a foot in front of her. Great, I got lost, she thought. Looking around she stayed still, she did not know what to do now. Since she could not figure out what to do, she thought the next best thing would be to wait till daylight. Taking a seat she executed the thought by staying in one place. Now that her nerves had her griped she realized just how tired she was. A large yawn emitted from her muzzle.

Sahara wasn't the only wolf wondering around this large and dark forest alone, another wolf had been prowling the area of the shadow forest for any other lost wolves that were in here. Though it wasn't because she was going to kill them off, she would usually come around here to help any stranglers out with there problems. Of course, a wolf only like that would be Delana, who of course usually prowled around the area at night while her family had there time to sleep, it wasn't very easy to take care of a large family, though she had always did it with pride and glory in her heart, she just loved all of them to the bone, and would do what she could for them. Though sometimes she needed her one space for a bit, and night time was best time for her to be out.

Though to her surprise, She had found someone familiar, yet someone she hadn't seen in while now, and that was Grifans' mate, and she looked a bit tired from yawning that she was making, though it was never a good idea to stay in this place for long. So she began to step forwards to Sahara until she was a good distance away from her. "Hello again, it's been a while." She said as she sat down with her tail around her legs with a soft smile on her maw to show that she wasn't being a threat.
