Avalon & Pack
Avalon and Xena trotted to the pond. Xena started calling for her three newborns. Her barks were loud and pierced the peaceful air.
The pups, Radar, Dusty, and Hydra, started bounding down a long path to the pond and leapt at their mother. It was time for pup watching. How unbelievable! She wouldn't be able to spend as much time out in the wilderness with Avalon or the pack. Luckily, there were two pup watchers to help.
Soon, the rest of the pack appeared.
Apache, Polo, Acacia, and Celestria silently padded in. Their heads hanging low and their eyes downcast. It was a long while since anyone ate. The hunters were almost to weak to fight the prey.
Polo knew he had some responsability for the pack. He needed to find Nakita, where ever she was, and they needed to go hunting.
But soon Nakita and the others propelled themselves to the pond. Their tails held high in the air. Nakita quickly bounded to Polo, a serious look on her maw. Finally she spoke: "We need to get something to eat, and quickly. We have more mouths to feed, and this is a good time to hunt. Prey animals are being born. Come on! We must go and bring back a feast!" Her words were harsh. She quickly spun back around and headed outwards of their terra.
Polo, feeling exausted, padded quickly after her, leaving the others. They would soon be back with food.
Avalon & Pack
Avalon raised his head quickly. He looked the way the two hunters left. He started sniffing in their scent. He then looked to Xena and said "I must go to help them. Right now we need all the food we can get. I will need to help. Stay here and watch after the pack." With that said, he quickly left, following their scent.
Hearing his words, Celestria became worried. But Acacia her sister walked to her and sat beside her, watching Xena with a bewildered look. Then she looked down to her little sister. Her small pup body was just sitting there motionless, but her ears perked this way and that.
