     The sun was warm that day and my cave was filled with warmth. I was ready to have my pup today I knew it would be today even though I was due in a few more weeks. I raised my head and looked around the cave and saw my mate Greypaw he rested comfortably on the other moss bed across the cave and the beginning of my pups bed being made from scraps of rabbits fur and moss. I felt a contraction, Oh no I thought my pup is going to be born now.
     "Greypaw!" I cried as  another contraction flashed through my body. "The pup is coming!" I called to him. I saw his head shoot up.
     "I'll go get Mossdew!" He cried as he sprinted out of the cave and as he left small dust clouds filled the room as I waited for Mossdew to arrive. I would soon be a mother.

     I opened my eyes my mother lay comfortably on a soft bed next to me. I look down her grey pelt to her tail where I saw a mother wolf gasp at the sight of me. "What's with her?" I thought in my little pup mind.
 
     "Moonfur! Look at your p-pup!" Yelled a anxious looking wolf with yellow eyes.

     My mother looked at me with weary eyes as she gazed across my limp body as I lay next to her. She gasped as her gaze looked at my back. "What! Are those wings?!" She looked disgusted for minute but then quickly changed her glance to a non-judgmental look. "Oh my baby she's beautiful."

     I looked to my so called "wings" and they looked weird and felt heavy on my back like someone was laying on it. They were a murky purple gray and my fur was a grey black. I looked to my mother as our eyes met I could see how proud she was of me.
