Sullen Storm*Pups

Storm walks into the area and looked for the den, when she found the entrence she went over to it and put down 'lucky' she layed down, as her pups huddled around her stomich, some where suckling then falling aleep, and the others were playing, but finaly they all fell asleep.

Black Feather

The peregrine falcon circled high above the den, watching the mother and her pups enter. After a few minutes, he circled down and landed on a nearby boulder. I wonder where the others went... Black Feather thought to himself. He didn't recognize Sullen or her pups. He had often visited this pack in the past; unknowingly to them. He rembered there was a she-wolf named Moonshadow, and her two adopted pups, Ninaki and Storm Dancer. Then there was Pirqua, the she-falcon he was fond of. But he didn't know where any of them were. He just sat atop his perch and gazed at the den.

Sullen Storm*Pups

Sullen Storm awoke she stood up and walked out side, streaching her legs, she yawned, then sat down, she was getting alittle hungry herself, but she could not leave her pups while she went and hunted, the hunteress sat thinking about what she was going to do.

The smallest pup wanders out, he starts jumping up at her, then the two pups that we're the largest came out and tackled him away, then hunteress bit down on his neck, and the other hunter bits at his ears. Storm lowers her head and picks up lucky and puts him down beside her, then turns to the others, "Leave him alone!" Storm looked around, she was missing 2 other pups, but then they appeared from the den. One of them looked up and saw the falcon, she starts barking, then whimmpers bcuz she could not get to it.

Black Feather

His eyes went wide and his feathers flattened down when the pup barked, catching him off guard with the loud noise. A stood motionless for a moment before letting his feather relax. "Who are you?" the falcon finally piped up, not even sure if the pups were old enough to speak. He didn't know a whole lot about wolves, but liked to hang around them since he had no real friends yet.

Sullen Storm*Pups

Storm barked at the pup to be quiet, she looked up at the falcon and smiled. "Hello, Im Sullen Storm, and these are my new borns, none have names yet, I have two other pups also, they are out on a hunt with Avari, the lead alpha here." Her tounge hung out of her mouth, it was warm out today. "Who are you? Do you know anyone here?"

Black Feather

Very glad for her kindess, he spoke up again, "I'm Black Feather. You say Avari is the alpha?" If it was physically possible, Black Feather would have frowned, "I knew a wolf, called Moonshadow, who was alpha. She had two adopted pup, Ninaki and Storm Dancer." The falcon shook his head, "But I don't suppose they live here anymore."

Sullen Storm*Pups

The hunteress thought about it. "No, I dont think they live here anymore, but I don't know for sure since I am only new here. Yes Avari is the alpha here, she is very kind."

Black Feather

He was sad to hear this, but had expected it. A new thought came to mind then... he had seen Pirqua now and then in the Alleys, but he had never stopped to ask about Ninaki or Storm Dancer; mainly because he figured the falcon would attack him. And now that he learned they didn't live hear anymore, he only assumed they must still be with Pirqua. Black Feather wanted to get on Pirqua's good side, and suddenly thought of a way to do that.

The falcon glanced around at the pups before speaking to Sullen Storm again, "Uhh, do you mind... or... I mean, if Avari doesn't mind... can I stick around with your... um.... pack?" He fumbled badly over his words, trying desperately to remember just what a group of wolves was called and how it functioned. He had learned alot from his wolf friend, Darkstorm. But Darkstorm had perished in the blizzard two winters ago, and Darkstorm was solitary once more. If he wanted to get closer to Pirqua, he figured he might find a pack to adopt him; that way he could relate with Pirqua and show he wasn't as bad as first impression had probably shown.

Sullen Storm*Pups

She shook her head. "It woudnt be anyharm if you did, im sure she'll let you stay!" Her thoughts were else where after she had finished answering him, she thought of her other two, they had gone on a hunt, why hadnt they returned yet?
'Lucky' whimmpered then curled up at his mothers feet and slept.
The two evil pups were fighting with each other, the female had the male trapt under her and was biting at his neck. From the corner of her eye she saw the two pups that stayed together, they were never with the rest of the pups, they stayed together tough. They started to howl a sweet melody that sounded like they were mourning someone. Storm suddenly had a pain in her stomich, something bad had happened to Death or Silence she knew it. But she couldnt go, she had to stay and watch the pups.

Black Feather

He watched the wolves for a moment while puffing out his sleek feathers happily. Now I bet she'll like me he thought to himself. Then something else came to mind; Darkstorm told him about how wolves helped eachother in a pack. Certainly he would have to do something for his pack now and then to make sure they wanted him around. Looking down at Sullen, he spoke up again, "Is there something I can do for you? I have good eyesight; I can find all sorts of food and stuff."

Sullen Storm

She looks up at him terror in her eyes. "Yes there is, please, please go to the tall grass and find my two pups, they went with Avari, im scared something might have happened to one of them. Please?" The hunteress was now pleading for him to go.

Black Feather

He was quite startled by her sudden urgency, but didn't hesitate to leap off the boulder and soar into the air, "I'll find them!" He replide as the winds carried higher above the ground. It wasn't long before he was out of site.

Black Feather

The falcon returned some time later, flying swiftly. He alighted once more on the boulder and spoke up quickly to Sullen, "I found them, your young ones. One of them..." He paused a moment, trying to recall which one was injured, "Uh...Sullen Silence, she was injured. It looks very bad." His voice lowered a bit, trying to break the news as lightly as possible. The falcon looked about at the young pups, then to Sullen again, "If you want, I'll watch the little ones if you want to go to your daughter."

Sullen Storm*Pups*Sullen Death

Death enters the den site with the fawn in his maw, he drops it infront of his mother then looks into her eyes. Storm had started to growl, it came deep from her throat. She looked up at Death, ignoring what the bird had just said, she didnt want to believe it. Her fangs now showing, though weak, she launched her bodice at Death, she caught his thraot, and started biting him and clawing at his stomic, she stoped for a moment then looked down at him. "It will be your fault if she dies! You were supposed to watch her, make sure nothing happens!" Death kicked out at her stomic, flipping her over his head, he stood and snarls at her. "Shut up mother! It is not my fault! You should have been there instead of watching these usless twerps. Its not mine, but your fault for letting her go on the hunt in the first place, you should have said no, because you know how stupid she is...was, she was going to die sooner or later.!" With that, he picked up the two evil little brats that where at his paws growling and parking, he turned and ran off with them.

Storm started to run after him, but then stopped and came back to her others, tears down her checks, she licks her other 2 pups, then looks at the falcon. "Thank you for checking on my daughter and Sullen Death..." Her voice trailed off, it was full of pain and anger.

Black Feather

Once again, his sleek feathers were pressed tightly against him and his eyes were wide; being very startled by what had happened. Slowly, he relaxed again and listened to the wolfess speak, "No problem." he watched her for a moment, seeking out the right words to say that might make her feel better. But he could think of none. Finally, he offered, "If there is anything I can do for you, don't hesitate to ask."

Sullen Storm*Pups

The hunteress looked around them up at the bird again. "No, you've done enough already, I think I shall leave to find my dearest Silence." She barked for the remaining 3 pups to follow her.

'Lucky' looked up at the falcon, his tail down, he was still a little frightened by it.

The to silent pups followed, not saying anything, or looking aorund.

Black Feather

He gave a slight nod, "Good luck then." he waited until the wolves left before he took to the air and flew off.
