Twilight Beauty, Lion, Outcast, & Tersek

Twilight Beauty stretched out on the ground, basking in a pool of sunlight that filtered through the dense pine canopy. Her mostly black pelt shimmered in the light, holding a particular gloss to it thanks to her grandpa's genes.

Outcast and Tersek promptly began to explore the area, nipping at and sniffing everything within a few feet radius from their mother.

Lion was just as curious, but he prefered to observe his siblings from the safety of Twilight.

Insecure .+. Promise .+. Absolute .+. Shattered .+. Sacrifice .+. Rapture .+. Silver Trace

Another black female appeared from the same direction as Twilight. Three youngsters followed her, just a few days younger than Twilight's pups. They were from the same father, however Insecure was not aware of this yet.

The first pup to appear from the bushes was a black and gray young brute. His small proud head was held high as he trotted in behind his mother. His tail was held high because he didn't know the rules of who's-boss yet. Soon a figure pounced on him and he yelped in suprise. A pup that looked exactly like the older wolf appeared out of no where to attack her brother. Playful growls and warning snarls fled from their tumbling about. Soon a third pup came out from the brush and trotted behind her squabiling siblings. This one was brownish gray. "Dummies" She cried out loud to them and trotted up behind her mom.

The male growled to the attacking sister, "Promise back off!" Promise smiled and lept into the air to follow and nip at her other sister's feet. "Absolute, you're such a whiny baby!" Promise growled as she bit down onto Shattered's feet. Shattered turned and gave a harsh warning pop on the head. Promise froze then began to behave and walked quietly behind her mom. Absolute soon caught up to the rest after moments of collecting his feet to move again.

Insecure saw Twilight and gave a soft gruff in greeting, then began toward her. She lowered her head in respect, then lifted to around the same height as Beauty. She didn't know the pecking order in this pack yet, and wasn't about to raise herself higher than the rest. At lest, not with three pups crowding about her feet in fear of the older pups and the other adult.

Along came two pups of the eldest pack. Rapture led his younger sister watching as the others imerged from the dens into the central lands. These two were a week, at most, older than Twilight's pups. The black male had speckles of gray running down his back, however with his puppy fur, it was a little hard to see. Sacrifice, much smaller than Rapture, came up beside her brother and watched the seven pups. She smiled and leaned to her brother "Look who we get to boss around." Rapture gave a menacingly evil smile back and lifted his ears. "Hey pups, what's you're names?" He smiled as he demanded in a voice somewhat like a drill sargent.

Silver trace was the last to show up, she came slinking in quickly to her mothers feet and held behind her brave brother. She didn't answer the older pup, instead she stayed quiet and waited for one of her siblings to answer.

"Promise" Spoke the little black and white pup. Rapture smiled greatly to the brave female, he liked her courage. Then waited for the rest.

Twilight Beauty, Lion, Outcast, & Tersek

Twilight looked to Insecure and gave light woof in greeting to the female. Like her, Twilight was unsure of the hierarchy, and was quite satisfied to keep her postures equal to the other's.

Lion brought his head up, mostly to get a better look at the advancing youngsters. They being unknown to him, he regarded the arrivals warily and shuffled closer to Silver Trace. Protectively.

Tersek raised himself up, looking boldly to Rapture. "Tersek. And this is..." Once again, he was promptly cut off by his sister.

"I'm Outcast." For a female, she was an impressive size; though it would take a good while before that was really apparent. "I didn't catch yours." She didn't hold herself up so high as Tersek, but her eyes flickered from Rapture to Sacrifice, staring her half-sister right in the eyes.

Lion shifted a bit and looked from Rapture to the three younger pups. He had no clue that they were related to him, but he didn't like how these older siblings, Rapture and Sacrifice, were scaring them. Well, two of them it seemed.

Rapture .+. Others

Rapture snickered as the tiny female spoke up for herself. "My name is Rapture", Sacrifice growled and lowered her head in an offensive stance to Outcast, "Mine's Sacrifice" She bared her fangs to the younger sibling.

Insecure wrapped her tail around her pups as the older pups began to bully the younger siblings. "I think you two should go find your mother." She gave soft growls not to harm the children. Absolute growled slightly back to Rapture, "My name is Absolute, This is my sister Shattered." He pointed his snout to the youngest one, Shattered raised her head to see over her protective mother's tail. "Hello" She yipped shyly.

Silver Trace turned her head and gruffed up, " Silver is my name, Now whaddya want?" Her small hairs began to raise and she stepped up closer to the older pups.

Raptures black head lowered to meet eye to eye with Silver. "I wana bother ya," His head raised higher than it was before and began to walk toward Silver, Silver instinctivly backed away with small growles. Her tail stuck between her legs, but she didn't turn and run away.

Insecure + Pups

Insecure noticed another new wolf in the land and turned to Twighlight. " The new one looks like she has pups as well, I'm going to greet her. Comon children." She walked slowly up to snowbound beauty. Rapture and Sacrifice tagged along to bother the new commers.

Silver trace simply looked up to her mother to see if she were to go meet the new ones yet.

Twilight Beauty, Lion, Outcast, & Tersek

Twilight stood up, "I'll come too." She gave a soft woof, calling for her young ones to follow.

Lion was quick to follow his mother. Outcast and Tersek weren't far behind.
