Dawn of Hope - Folician Chronicles 7

Chapter 7 - Hands visits the pups harem

Steel Heart was honestly pleased by the broadcast from the Pack Fathers. When it had been broadcast, there had actually been a major, though momentary, drop in what was going on. She wasn't going to hold her breath but anything would help. Knowing what both Hands and Ray had gone through she was pleased that Hands could talk about it at all. As she would have expected there was a massive up swell in popularity again. The various groups out there were showing a spiked increase in the popularity of both human pack fathers. A few groups had been started or expanded for the others on the podium.

Her Liraque came into her office, "Heart you are going to bed soon or else. You need the sleep to remain functional. We also need to start dealing with your reaction from earlier. I am going to drag your tail to your room, give you a good bath, a massage, and a good stiff drink." She urged her out of the chair and walked her out of the room. Tomorrow was going to come soon enough and the problems would still be there.

When Misty came out of the meeting she was feeling battered and abused by all the emotions flying around, *Hands I am going to need you to keep watching Sunny for me. We are going to be working with the supplicants for the next few days and she just doesn't need the emotional overload. That and there was a second explosion aimed at the Harem. I can't deal with her being in the section tonight. I am doing my best to comfort my section mates.*

Hands sent her a surge of love, *At least come by and give Sunny a good hug. She is rather scared by the emotions she was feeling since she doesn't understand any more than the other young pups.* When she mentioned a second explosion he sighed, *I know since I was informed not too long ago. I will give you a good hug as well sis.*

It didn't take long for both Misty and Skye to show up and though Misty was upset, Skye was hurting. Hands hurried over to her and wrapped his arms around her and held her close. There wasn't anything he could say to help so he settled for the physical contact. As he was focusing on Skye he felt Misty heading towards Sunny.

Skye returned the hug and was almost clinging on. Her muzzle was buried in his hair in the hopes his scent would calm her even some, *Thank you Pack Father. I needed a good hug.* She clung on for several minutes before stepping back and going to where Misty was with Sunny.

Misty gathered Sunny close, "Hey cuddle bug, I have asked Hands to watch you for me. The meeting was really important but I can't say why. It is an adult thing and I don't want you to have to deal with it. I love you Sunny and you mean so much to me. I will come and see you several times each day so you know I am doing okay." She had forced her emotions back some to keep from impacting on Sunny.

Sunny wrapped her arms around Misty, "I noes want to be away from you Misty. I's loves you and want to be with you." She started crying as she was talking.

Misty kept holding her close and sent soothing thoughts, *Sunny in this case I am going to have to ask you to accept what I have to say. I am going to miss you curled up next to me but I am your Liraque and you will listen. I will see you each and every day as often as I can. I have to go now but Sunny I do love you and this is why I am asking Hands to take care of you.* She wasn't going to cry at the moment though later she would.

Nuzzle came over and wrapped her arms around Sunny, *I's cuddle with yous Sunny. We's cuddle with other little pups for sleep and we's take care of you.* As she was holding her she felt Sunny starting to get sleepy and finally fell asleep.

Misty lowered her down almost fled from the room since she was feeling so horrible. It felt like she was abandoning her and she felt like shit for that. When she made it back to her section she ignored everyone and after stripping off her robe crawled into bed and started crying. Misty knew it was for the best but it hurt since she felt like she was abandoning her Liraqua. Several of the others came over and curled up with her. Skye had contacted them and they knew what was going on and simply gave her as much care as they could. All of them needed the contact since they were all upset. They would be doing a sleepover setup as well.
