whisper

A group of pups were sitting together telling stories of things they've seen while training when suddenly it fell silent

"You want to hear a story from my training as a pup?" Asked an adolescent with eyes that reminded the pups of a jack-o-lantern

"Whisper is this going to be another boring story" asked a pup way younger than Whisper

"No Scarlet. This is from the first time I went training with an elder" Whisper said with a bit of nervousness

"Finee, go ahead." Scarlet said rolling her eyes

"Thank you," Whisper sat in front of the pups and drew in the dirt a scene that none recognized "When I was your age my first training session was held here. In the forest away from the entire pack, there were a few other pups with me as well...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Whispeeerrr" said a female pup as quite as she could
"I'm coming for youuuu"

"Oh peppermint stop it. Nows not the time" said the elder wolf

"Sorry lantern." Peppermint said while lowering her head in shame

"Thank you. Now today's task pups is to track me down. You'll have an hour to do it since it's already late for you. I want you all to close your eyes and cover your ears. Then count to let's say, um, 30! I know one of you can count that high. Ready?" Lantern said tilting his head

"Yup!" Said the three pups as they did as lantern said

When they were done counting to 30, after many mistakes, they opened their eyes and uncovered their ears

"This is soooo spooky" said a male pup sarcastically

"Oh Charles stop. It's almost two in the morning during the lunar season, it IS spooky!" Claimed Peppermint as she wacked charged with her tail

"Guuyss stop. We need to find.. um Lantern! That's who" Whisper said almost forgetting why they were out here

"Don't be anxious Whisper were both here" said Charles

*snap*

"What was that?!" Whisper asked frantically

"It was a twi-" Charles started but got cut off by something catching his eye

"It was what? What are you looking at?" Whisper whipped around to see what stumped Charles "um where did Peppermint go?" He finally asked and went quiet

"She was behing you wasn't she? OK, listen I saw three purple eyes and then she vanished. She's probably playing a trick on us, let's go." Charles said as he turned to walk "I've got Lanterns sent."

"R-right, let's go. Peppermint this isn't funny by the way." Whisper said as he followed Charles

As they were walking they noticed a pup started following them. Charles turned and saw it looked like Peppermint, chuckled, and kept walking. Soon they found paw prints that had a glow of green and yellow

"That's not normal," said Whisper

"No it's not. But we have to keep moving. By the way the moon is it's almost 2:39. I'd rather not be up any longer. Peppermint how are you doing back there?" Asked Charles

Silence was the reply. Whisper turned to look at her and..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!" Whisper suddenly screamed

All the pups screamed st once and almost jumped out of their fur

"Hahahah!" Whisper started to laugh "You should have seen your faces!"

The pups, now standing and shaking

"That's not funny Whisper," said another adolescent as she walked up and wacked him with her tail "you know that story was true! And we ended up finding Lantern just before 3." Said adolescent as she smiled at the pups and walked off

Whisper stood in shock

"Whats wrong?" Asked a nervous pup

"That was Peppermint.. when she went missing that training session no one's seen her since.. she was presumed dead." He said as he looked around not being able to find her

"What!?" The pups said in awe as the all tried to find her again
