The Beginning: Chapter 1

“When will mommy and daddy come baaaaaaack?” Woofy whined.

“Just SHUT UP ALREADY!! NOBODY wants to hear you whining about NOTHING.” Cougar growled.

“Hey, no need to get feisty!” Foxeyes yipped as he broke up the fight. They were in the Stonetree Den, as Foxeyes’ parents called it. It was a tree slightly uprooted with, you guessed it, stones holding it up. Foxeyes was 4 weeks old at the time. Then, he heard a rustling in the bushes and smelled Ebon and Storm, his father and mother.

“MOMMMMMYYYYY!!! DADDDDDDYYYYYYY!!! YOU’RE BACK!!!” Woofy howled.

“Yes, dear, we’re here.” Storm woofed as she licked Woofy’s ear affectionately. Ebon stood to the side, looking characteristically uncomfortable. Just then, Foxeyes heard an unfamiliar wolf barking and growling. Then another. And another. There were a total of 3 wolves attacking Midnight pack (Foxeyes’ pack). Then he heard his mother shout,

“Pups! Get in the den!” Ebon locked on to the male alpha’s throat.

<What’s his name again?> Foxeyes whispered.

<Reed, I think.> Cougar breathed. Then, with no warning, the wolves unleashed a mournful cry and ran off. Only two ran. The male alpha was dead, and Ebon had his blood on his paws and face.

“WOW DADDY YOU’RE AMAZING WWWWOOOOOWWWWWWW!!!” Muffin screeched “YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY-”

“Please, dear, stop screeching.” Storm politely asked

“YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” The litter screeched in unison

“Who knew pups could scream for so long.” Ebon inquired as he walked away to escape the noise.
