"His mother! Do they think hunting is like trying to catch a frog by the river? It's not the same when hunting beasts, tigers and leopards. Can I out run wild boars, antelopes and elk on both my legs? Don't even talk about those rabbits! It's hard to hunt bigger game than animal carcass or leftovers" Wolf ranted about his troubles to Daisy.
However, not every day could he find some leftovers from bigger beast doing their hunts.
"What can I do now in the cave? Let the competitors see me as a joke? As a temporary leader, once the inspection period is over, I can lose my position." Wolf continued his rant to Daisy as they laid side by side on a pile of hay. They were currently at the cave where they used to meet.
"Wolf, between me and the leader's seat, if you choose one, which one do you choose?" Daisy stroking the chest of Wolf, asked with a small voice.
Wolf blurted out:
"Of course it is the leader's seat!"
Daisy felt her heart pained when she heard his response and felt hateful.
'This bastard! Wants nothing more but play with even more women after becoming a leader and of course forget all about me!'
Seeing that Daisy did not replied, Wolf immediately realized that he was wrong, and quickly defended. Women that gave birth held importance.
"Daisy, you know, I don't mean that, I mean..."
Daisy smiled and quickly blocked his mouth.
He untied his animal skin, and he rolled up and pressed Daisy under his body.
On one side, Wolf needed to release the pressure he held within. On the other side, Daisy was trying to figure out a way. She thought after several rounds, this person would fall asleep on the haystack and wouldn't wake up.
...
…
.
Daisy's mouth had a sneer.
"You bastard can go find another woman to play with, even your own mother but I don't care about you anymore! It's good that I actually was not pregnant" Daisy said to the sleeping Wolf.
She took away the deer ribs and meat Wolf had inside his cave and picked herself without any hesitation. She walked out of the cave and made her way back to her home.
Today happened to be a full moon night so the moonlight was bright outside. Everything held a color of silver as Daisy's heart felt extremely light and happy.
Not because of sleeping with Wolf back at the cave, but she finally completed the task entrusted to her by Light!
'Light brother must be waiting anxiously. I have to go back earlier. Give him the deer early.'
Thinking about Light's reaction when he sees the deer she brings back, Daisy felt unspeakable joy.
'Before, I have never had the experience of going alone and so far at night. I don't know what to expect."
Tonight, she had no feeling of fear. All she wanted was to go back and see Light and Night sister.
After panting for a long way, she came to the front of the swamp.
'If I cross the swamp from here, it will save a lot of time. Don't worry, anyway, Night sister and I often play in water so it's not different …. I hope'
Daisy hesitated for a moment but the thought of going through a shorter road and her heart wanting to get back quicker made her step into swamp.
The swamp water at night was a bit cold, and as Daisy gradually entered the depths of the swamp, the water slowly came up to her shoulders.
Her feet were slowing walking underwater and she had already reached the middle of the swap.
On the calm water, there was only the sound of her body moving and the circular ripples she made. The image of the moon was wavering on the water. Daisy continued forward in silence.
Daisy added more force to her feet in hopes to get to the other side of the swamp as soon as possible.
But at this time, one of her feet missed and stepped into a soft mud, making her lose her footing.
Daisy's heart shook. The first instinct was to quickly pull her foot out of the mire, but the mud at the bottom of the swamp was slippery enough that she couldn't get a firm holding. Daisy's feet were deeply trapped in the mire and her body started to sink down bit by bit.
