Kiyiya's POV
I wake up to distant howling and look at my surroundings, feeling wet and cold. I'm not in the den, where I should be. Huh? W-where am I? I look up at the sky, half covered in trees. It's a full moon. I look around for my pack and can't see them them. I whimper. They have to be here somewhere! I think, and whimper again, trying to sniff for a trail, but it's too late. They scent washed away somehow. I whimper again.
I feel lonely. Really, really, lonely. And scared, that too. I find a tree with loose soil around it and dig myself a little hole to sleep in. I put some feathers and moss that where scattered around it in to the tiny makeshift bedding to at least make it a bit comfortable. I climb in and try to get as comfortable as I can. It starts as a slight drizzle, but the rains eventually come down harder and harder. So much noise from the trees, the rain, the thunder, I cant sleep. Great, I think.
Thunder rolled, lightning shot down and SNAP! A giant tree branch falls, too close to my tree, to the ground, and I shrink back into my makeshift home, to the edges of the small space.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The rains finally quiet down and stop. Now I can get some sleep. I settle down and get comfortable again and slowly drift to peaceful slumber.
