Up ahead was a cave that branched off from the ravine.
Baylee stopped, which caught Jacer by surprise, and he almost fell."Sorry," he said. "Stay here. I'll get Tamalee." Baylee squeezed through the hole.
Twisty sat down next to Jacer. "So... where do you live?"
"No where specifaclly. I like to travel around." He replied while shifting his paws.
"That's cool," Twisty said.
Baylee came back out with a red wolf following him. "This is Tamalee," he said, flicking his tail to the red wolf.

(Tamalee)
Tamalee had a bunch of leaves in her mouth, which she carefully placed on the ground. "Which paw's twisted, sugar?" Tamalee asked.
Jacer winced on the inside. He wasn't "sugar". But he ignored it and stuck out his right forepaw.
"Not much of a talker, are ya, sugar? Well I'll get this all set for ya."
Jacer resisted the urge to roll his eyes as Tamalee wrapped his paw in the leaves.
"Now, sugar, there's a reason those leaves are 'round your paw. Don't touch 'em." Tamalee said. "And stay off it as much as possible. I'll let ya know when ya can practice walkin on it. For now ya need to rest it." Tamalee turned to Baylee and Twisty. "Help him inside, ya two." Then, she disappeared through the hole.
"Did she have to call me sugar every five seconds?" Jacer grumbled.
Twisty snickered. "Happens to the best of us."
Baylee snorted. "No, it happens to all of us."
Jacer rolled his eyes, holding back a laugh, and crawled through the hole. He was surprised to see that the den was bigger than expected.
There were holes in the roof where sunlight shone through, and there were tunnels branching off from the main area. The grayish black stone felt nice and cool beneath his paws.
"Wow..."
"Pretty cool, huh?" Twisty whispered.
"Yeah."
Suddenly, a little wolf pup tumbled out of one of the tunnels, and another one jumped over the one who tumbled.
"Heyyyyyy..." The one who was on the ground, a golden brown pup, jumped up.
"Who are those little pups?" Jacer asked.
Baylee gave a snort of laughter. "Thats Juniper and Midnight. Their mother is Gothliea, who should be out soon."
