"Uh-huh," The little lamb hybrid replied, tying her favorite silk hood around her, then putting her favorite nightshirt and the items for her "Nana" in a brown wicker basket. "I-I...." Her sister started, sounding very worried. "Hu-" The young one tried to figure out what she was trying to say but was interupted. "I don't know if I want you walking out there by yourself yet... youre only 8." She expressed in concern. Mary was a little to young to go out on her own, but convinced her older sister that she was more than able to run a simple errand to her grandmother's house. "Sis, I'll be fine. Honest. Its only a couple hours walk from here, And my friend Taki and her sister lives close by, so I'll know the way." Mary reassured her sister as she picked up her basket and headed towards the front door. "M-Mary..." Saffron started as her little sister stopped halfway out the doorway,"Be careful, O-ok?" Mary turned around and pounce-hugged her sister and said, "Promise." Fixing her hood, she continued towards her front door. "And say hi to Gramma and your little friends for me, K?" Saffron added. "Ok!" Mary said, and gave a cheerful nod, "Bye Saffy!" "See you tomorrow!" Saffron replied, waving. 'Geez, if i had a nickel for every time she called me "Saffy"', She thought with a laugh as she continued to wave Mary goodbye for today. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Meanwhile, In the woods... "Ha! I win again!" A wolf cub raised his paw in victory at the top of a tree he climbed faster than his twin, who had seemed to give up halfway up the trunk. "I keep on tellin' ya, you'll never beat me in a climb-off; NEVER!" he gloated. "No *huff* Fair....... *pant,pant* you cheated...." the exausted one replied, slowly sliding down the trunk of the tree. "Nuh-uh! I even climbed the same one you did so you couldn't say! "Ugh, whatever...*pant, huff* Damn... Can't we find somethin' else to do, Kade?" Kane said, catching his breath as his twin climbed down. "I guess, sure. I'm gettin' tired of beatin' you anyway," He said, with a hint of pride, then held out his paw to help his brother up from the grassy floor. they both shared a small chuckle, and started to walk through the woods, kicking small piles of leaves and twigs around as they went. after a few minutes of looking for something interesting to do, Kade started to give up. "Ok, now it's just gettin' sad." Kade sighed and collapsed on the grass, looking at the lush green treetops fading in to simulate dusk falling. "Nothin'. Absolutely nothin'. There's nobody out to play, an' every thing's to...... silent around here." "Seriously." Kane agreed with his brother with a nod, and joined him on the ground. "Is there another game we haven't played yet?" "Nope..." Kade responded with a shake of the head. "You're tellin' me, We played everything?" "E'yup." "Hide N' Seek" "Uh-huh, twice t'day." "Tag?" "Yup." "Follow the leader?" "Yep." "Sword Fight?" "We had to stop, 'member? Got too messy." "That's cause I was winnin'." "You don't know how hard that stuff is to get outta fur, do you?" "Eh...I guess you're right." After a lengthy pondering of possible things to do, they started to walk through the woods, again, kicking stuff around. "Well I guess we better start towards the lake, maybe there's something to do there," Kane said to his twin, Examining a dried anthill. "Eh Okay, why no-" Kade stopped in his sentence and his tail stood straight in the air. "Wha- The hell's wrong with yo-" Kane did almost the exact same thing. Kade started to sniff about. "You smell that...?" "Its commin' from over there!" Kane replied and started to run in the direction of the weirdly attracting scent." "Hey, Wait for me!" Kade said and started to run behind his twin. _____________________________________________________________________________ Mary had been halfway through the woods to the point where it had gotten a little darker than when she entered. She continued to walk through, and look cautiously around her. "Stay calm.....Keep walking" She said to her self as the walked through the grass. "Stay calm.... Nothings gonna hurt you......Eek!" She squealed as a crow flew by her head and let out a hollow squawk. "Nothing's gonna get to you..... Nothing...." Things grew quiet and Mary gained more confidence as she walked through, and then, She began to feel, odd. as if her "private" parts began to feel warmer for some reason. But she ignored it, and kept walking. then a small trickle of liquid ran down the inside of her leg. Confused,she took her hankerchief and wiped it away, making sure no one was around. 'Wh-...why am I breathing so heavily....' she thought to herself, bewildered as they come. "Nevermind....You're almost there....." ____________________________________________________________________________ "Are you sure this is where you smelled it, Kade? it may be over that way." Kane asked his brother, Looking and sniffing around. "I'm almost sure of it! who, or whatever it is... its close by.." Kade said. sniffing the grass. "Come on...... C- *gasp* Over there!" Kane snapped and focused Kade's attention on the walking figure walking towards them. "QUICK, HIDE!" Kade loudly whispered as he jumped over into a bush. Kane quickly hid in a bush across from the other and stayed perfectly still. They both peeked out to get a better look at the figure. It was a lamb, or what it would look like a lamb, in a red hood carrying a brown basket. The scent had gotten stronger as she walked by the camoflauged cubs. What had drew their attention was the interesting space in between her legs. When She had finally passed them both, Kade ran across the grassy area between them and huddled with his brother. "Kane, I think we just found a new game to play."\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t | \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
