✯ — THE GROWN UPS TAUGHT ME TO WATCH AND LEARN

space

the pup was new, and still relatively young, so tracking down the big silver lion had been something fun for her to do, until he disappeared into the deep dark tunnel and she stopped tracking him, sitting by the mouth of the tunnel. she was too young to understand that he was the enemy, and that he was sneaking in to get a groupmate. she just thought it was some weird game of hide and seek.

but when the big lion appeared with a big golden dragon towering over him, she felt herself shrink back, trying to hide yet awestruck by the two beasts. how they could be so mystical and gorgeous, she didn't know. swallowing down her awe, she looked around, wondering if she should get an adult before deciding that this was probably some strange sort of hide and seek.

darting forward, she aimed to bump her head against the dragon's foreleg, trying to avoid the smell of blood that clung to the dragon. "Go! Before everyone else sees that you got found! It's no fun if you get caught when you're going to hide again!" she breathed, thinking that it was a big game of hide and seek. Oh what her innocence would cost her in the long run.
