Pèable had felt like a plane had just flown against his chest. His mind torn to shreds, his heart it had been pounding faster by the second. It could have gotten a speeding ticket practically!
But there was one thing that Pèable didn't notice, he was crying, like a spring storm. Pèable had never cried in his entire life. Not even when he broke his toe when he was three years old. This would be life changing for him and the camp.
The next morning, Alpha made an announcement to the camp. "Springwood, I would like to inform you of my leaving in the coming days. This will be because I am off to retrieve the Lost Ruby of Springwood!" The large crowd of foxes gasped even Pèable. "I know, I know!" He paused. "This is a great journey, that I must do on my own." looking comfortable and stern Alpha spoke again, but louder for the crowd of foxes had become a nervous crowd of moving and talking with panic, animals.
"Now!" The crowd focussed all eyes back to Alpha. "While I am gone off, Pèable will be in charge of the camp. You are to treat him as if you would to me." Pèable froze, "Me?" He whispered to himself.
After Alpha explained what the ruby was like, and how long he would be away. A group of familiar kits came stumbling over. "Alpha," one of them said to Pèable, "you race us please." Pèable giggled and replied, "Yes! Of course!"
"Last paws loose!" Pèable called before dashing off with the kits in their little race. However, deep down inside Pèable wasn't happy, he was nervous and struck still by the death of his mother.
