But somehow right before your eyes
The sun light fades away
Everything is different
And everything has changed

Piers was frustrated. He felt like he had been stuck in this unfamiliar town for years. Okay, it wasn't all that long. Maybe a couple days? And yet he was already itching to get back home. He wanted his pack. He wanted his siblings and his parents. He was homesick, yes. And it was very evident.
The small pup wanted to just curl up where he was. He was waiting for his pack to find him, waiting for them to return for him. He hugged himself, nuzzling his nose into his elbow to sniff at his hoodie. There was still a lingering scent of his pack there and it was comforting at this moment. All he wanted was for them to be there.
He missed the puppy piles with his siblings. How close they were and how they were always within touching distance. How there was no such thing as personal space. How open everyone was and warm. They were so different from what he had seen from the Hale pack.
Call it culture shock. The boy just wanted to run away from the unfamiliar pack, although he knew he had to depend on them right now. There wasn't much a ten-year-old could do on his own, especially when he was in unfamiliar territory.
The tiny boy hummed to himself. It was an old lullaby passed down through his pack. His mother would hum it to him every night. It was his way to keep himself from wolfing out in distress. He had rushed out of that place the Hale pack called a home, which wasn't very home like because it was in a building that smelt like humans and made him scrunch up his nose and unable to sleep.
He kept humming the song, even as he realized someone was approaching. He wasn't doing anything wrong. However, the hair on the back of his neck still bristled at knowing there was someone else in the woods.

NOTES: For Derek, I don't know why Pan's Labyrinth Music is what motivated me through this post. Also, this is the song that Piers' pack tends to hum to their children: Long, Long Ago <- Click, tis a link.
MUSIC: "Long, Long Ago" - Javier Nagarrete
