I felt Alsaela by my leg, making me smile. I was never able to have young even though i wanted them so badly but just this feeling that a micro wanting to be beside me made me happy. "You dont have to do something great to be speical," Alley cooed. She didnt hear the last part but it didnt matter. She still didnt like how scared Alsaela sounded though. Before anything eles could be said they entered camp. "Ive found Alsaela," Alley called out.

I looked up and a wave of relief flooded over me. I couldn't move because then I would be leaving the rest of the micros unattended. They were starting to become antsy, I cooed more calming them down. I expected the worst for Alsaela's punishment. I of course would give her a lecture of my own, but definitely not as harsh as the one the leaders would give.

She scooted herself right under Alley, between her feet, using thr larger raptor as a protective shield. The sunlight had risen more above the camp, which illuminated her amber eyes to a bright white. Even with that change, anyone could tell just by looking at her how scared she was. She took a deep breath and waited in silence for the anger of everyone to hit her again. Why do I always have to go out... She thought to herself. Her tail twitched in anticipation.

Alley wanted to smile as Alsaela went under her. Yes it was to protect herself but she was just so happy. Alley then calmed herself before looking down at Alsaela and wispering something only Alsaela could hear. "Stay strong little one. Your about to get alot of lectures but just make sure to stay strong." She then stood, waiting for their alpha to come.

She stared directly into the Alpha's eyes, terror slowly disappearing. Her tail fell. No next time? Her thoughts raced, and her heart pounded a bit. "But-" she stopped short for words, thinking that arguing wouldn't do anything but dig her into a deeper hole of trouble. She thumped her little foot on the ground a bit in anticipation.

"No more of this sneaking off Alsaela. We could have been having a calm morning..." India let out a low growl, she had been quite worried and was quite angery now. India's eyes shot up to Nightmare, "Don't let it happen again." she turned around and headed for the cave, telling them she was done talking.

She grumbled a bit, startled. 12th time this moon, why change now? She thought. Normally the big raptors would have scolded her loudly then leave it at that. It was a shock to Alsaela that she now couldn't go on her treks anymore. She sighed and left Alley, looking back at the big raptor, then at the entrance of the camp. She turned het head away, tripping on her tail, as she hadn't paid attention, and sort of tumbled into Nightmare.

In the cave India started getting the moss bedding. As she went to the corner where the moss was she was thinking, 'Was I to harsh? No, Alsaela needs to be responsible not to mention safe! She could have died out there and we wouldnt have even known...'. India growled at herself, she grabbed the bedding and started laying it on the floor of the cave.

India walked out of the cave, she had finished with the bedding. Lifting her head to smell the air she sneezed, a fly had gone up her nose. India shook her head and started walking over to when Alsaela was. "Alsaela...come with me please." she chittered at the smaller raptor.
