The Future Depends On The Present

The Past Being Told

(Authors Note: Hi all. It's finally here! The sequel to 'The Past And The Present' is officially underway. Sorry for the wait, but I had ideas and needed to get them down before I forgot them. Well, for this installation, I've kept it pretty standard because of a time issue for the original idea, so sorry if this comes across as a little bit boring. Please note that the kit's names and personalities belong to jerod2447. I have permission to use them. This takes place five months after the kits are born.)

"A smile was all it took, with a little help from a wise owl. The brightness of day had finally taken over as the unforgiving night before seemed to slip away. A beautiful figure now stood in front of me. My first time seeing a female of my kind. Her coat was as bright as the sun itself. Her eyes, like diamonds, sparkling as the sun shone upon them. Her voice, like a host of angels singing harmoniously into the night."

"Her face could light up almost any mood, and thankfully so. Within minutes, we hit it off. If she was to be the one, I need to let her know. 'A natural attraction' as it was known. She didn't fully understand my past, but she gave it her all. Once she understood, I realized nothing could stop us as we fell deep in love."

"Six? Six what? At the time, I had no idea. Was that the normal quail count? Or was it more, more then what I had ever been taught? I was blind to the course of nature. Then an old friend came to the party... but not for the best reason. He thought I was the one who almost killed his father. But little did he know that I was innocent.Trust me, being chased by a hound dog is not something prey have on their wish list, especially when it was somebody who laid there trust in you. Being hunted by such a fit and experienced dog was bad, but being hunted by him and his master was almost inescapable."

"Although the pair of them were less then pleased with me, I could not let my friend be killed by a bear. I turned back to face it, and won, but at what cost. An injured leg? A destroyed relationship? My mate? All I remember was me in the shallows, the hunter standing with his shotgun ready to fire at me, and my friend between us."

"Once I recovered, I needed to go back to the place I was born, or at least, where I thought I was."

"I had a stroke, and luckily, I was back with the widow. After a sad visit to the vet, it took a while to recover to the point where I could walk again. I knew I had little to no time left to live, and with my mate having a break from the house in the forest, I settled down for the inevitable."

"She returned home, with my friends to check up on me, but what I didn't realize was that she had brought me something more valuable than any apology or goodbye. She, with the help of the old owl, Had tracked down my only living relative. the only one I had ever heard of. My mother."

"As we spoke, I suddenly became dizzy. When I woke up, my legs were extremely sore. I realized that I was saved from the heavens to have family time."

"Moments later, more new was at my door step, I was going to be a father. My mate was pregnant with our little ones. My heart could barely contain my excitement. Not only was I going to be a dad, but I had found my mother and the clot was free. Life was good... for those few moments. Gunshots in the distance stole our attention. We raced to the next farm to find that my friends master had just killed out old enemy. The bear."

"After that, life carried on as usual. I mean, as usual as it could get. Your grandmother fell in love with your uncles father. Chief and Rose spent more time with each other then normal. After that, your mother gave birth to you. You were so small and fragile, we couldn't let Widow pick you up, only me and Vixey, Mom to you guys. We then gave you your names and helped you grow up to be big, strong and healthy."

And from that day on, our family was complete," Tod finished up his story just as the kits closed their small eyes and fell asleep.

(Authors Note: So, how was that for an intro. I realise that it may not be good, but I really had no idea as to how i would start it. Sorry if the chapter is inconsistent, I've been very tired and busy lately. Please follow/favourite and review. Let me know how I could make this better, if there are any problems, ect... Thanks for reading)
