--------------------------------------------------------
Mae lay in the burrow. Ever since Zozane had dissapeared, she had refused to talk to anyone.
Teetsie was less concerned. Though she wanted the pup, the less competition her own had, the better.

Dusk and Dawn sat at a distance. It was their fault Zozane was missing. They were responsible.

Lithium groomed Mae. Although she was not his mate, the pup was his child, so he felt her pain as well.

Mae looked up and smiled weakly at Lithium. Click, her mate, pressed close to Mae, to try and provide comfort.
Tallulah lay by her mother, frowning. Zozane had gone, but couldn't they go look?

Dusk and Dawn were willing to go on this journey.

Mae sighed and dragged Tallulah closer. It wasn't that simple.
Nakpana frowned, his eyes narrowed.
Teetsie barked to the others, and headed above ground. She paced back and forth, unsure what to do about the situation.

Dusk and Dawn waited for a decision. They were ready for anything.

Mae shook herself, and left the burrow. Click followed, sticking close to his mate.
Tallulah and Nakpana frowned; they didn't like the situation.
Teetsie called to the others. If they were all ready, then they may as well go have a look. She heads pff, in direction of the Willows.

Dusk and Dawn loyally followed, keeping an eye out for danger.

When they reached the border, Teetsie stopped the group. She chirped to the others, aloowing them to forage breifly before they crossed it.
Mae, however, didn't feel up to foraging. She sat in the shade, too edgey to do much else.
Tallulah saw the border. This is where she had last seen Zozane! Making sure no one else was watching, she dissapeared into the bushes and over into the Willows territory.

Lithium was next to follow, intently determined to find their missing member. Dusk and Dawn followed behinf him.

Suddenly a loud shriek came from Mae. Startled, Teetsie and Click both ran over, chirping anxiously. Mae looked up at them, her eyes wide. Tallulah has dissapeared! Click pressed close to Mae, trying to comfort her, while Teetsie called agitatedly to the group. Without further ado, she charged into the Willows territory.

Startled by the scream, Dusk and Dawn sook cover under bushes. But after finding the source of the noise and the reason it was made, they darted over into Willows teriotry. Lithium made one final look back before entering the territory.

The group was now back in their terriotry. Lithium made sure the whole group was with him before taking up centry duty. All this fighting made Dusk and Dawn very hungry. They started to forage.

Teetsie stretched and yawned, pleased with the group. She began to forage.
Mae sat under a bush, holding onto her four pups. Click walked over and began to groom her.

Lithium emained on centry duty. He was going to make sure his family made it thorugh the day together.

Teetsie stopped and looked to the horizon. It was getting late. She called to the group and led them home.
Making sure her three pups were following, Mae followed Teetsie. Click was close behind, keeping and eye out for danger.

Nukpana was disappointed that they had found Zozane. He had only been pretending to miss him in the first place.

Tallulah bounded over, grinning at Nakpana. Now they could play together again!
Zozane also bounded over, unaware that her brother didn't miss her.

Nukpana smirked a little, but ran over to his siblings to play.

Tallulah smiled. Zozane leapt at her sister, playfully biting her paw.
Mae barked at her pups. Keep up! We don't want to loose all three of you!

Nukpana turned around and followed his mom. He didn't play.

Tallulah frowned, but followed her mother.
Zozane sulked; she'd been enjoying herself.
Teetsie led the group to a new burrow. She stopped the group, sniffing the air, but it seemed safe enough.

Lithium grabbed each pup in turn and led the way for the rest of his family.

Nukpana growled deeply and narrowed his eyes but didn't struggle.

Inle rolls his eyes as he follows. The lost pup was supposed to be dead! It was doomed!
