Fresh Berries (Open)

[Stern]

Stella picked of the two berries in her mouth and carried them to the small den that was her home. She could taste the sweet flavor of the berries, but resisted the urge to gulp them down. Cicada and Miles would be hungry, and while they ate, she would be able to get more food for the whole family. Their stockpile had been used up, so today she hoped to replenish it, to replace the older, tasteless berries with new. However, today, they would enjoy the freshest there were, as a treat. She was just about a minute away from her den when a noise startled her, causing her to drop her bounty and look around.

Cicara was digging urgently, hot on the trail of a retreating Dugtrio. There was no way she was going to let it go after what that Dugtrio said to her! And he dared to add that he was stronger than her just because he was in his final evolution? Bah! "He'll be sorry when I get him!" Cicara growled, although to any passing human, they would have just heard the angry cries of "Eevee! Vee! EEVEE!!" But she kept her long ears pricked and alert to danger. Many times had her mother warned her of those evil humans who wanted to lock you up and force you to work for them. No way was she gonna let that happen! Not ever! She would become strong on her own! Kicking up a storm of sand behind her, Cicara dug relentlessly, aided in her efforts by the Dugtrio's tunnel it left behind in its retreat. Although the tunnel was fast filling back up with sand and dirt, the earth was already loosened enough that her paws could almost match the digging speed of the Dugtrio itself. In seconds the young eevee had crawled down into a hole at her own risk.

Stella's ears pricked up as she heard a growl from not too far away. Of course, she recognized the tone, and her motherly instinct kicked in. She left the berries where they had fallen and bounded in the direction of the cries, her lilac ears pinpointing the location and guiding her paws to where her daughter had been. She slowed to a trot as she approached the spot, glancing around. She didn't see Cicada, but the spray of sand coming out of the hole in the ground gave away the story. Padding up to the edge of the hole, Stella called out to her daughter, "Cicara, come out of there. I have a few fresh berries for you." She sat on her haunches, watching the dirt hole, hoping that her daughter hadn't gotten stuck in something she couldn't finish.

OOC;: Sorry, I know it's been a long wait... Well, I suppose I can't get rid of Stella after all.

She didn't even notice nor sense her mother approaching, but when she heard her mother's voice, she hit her head on the top of the small tunnel she had dug in surprise. "Owww..." She moaned, rubbing her head, then looking around, out of the hole and up at her mother. "B-but Moooomm!" she whined, "There was this stupid Dugtrio, and, and...he, he said that...he called me weak, and, and, he said that I'm weaker than him because I haven't evolved yet!" she blurted out all at once, still panting, her ear laid back in frustration. ooc || :3 words || 137 tags || Stella
