Mama likes you! (mama tattletail x reader)

Just like Mama..

"m-mama?"

"yes dear?"

"m-me cold..."

"Come here, darling." purred mama, nestling her small young tattlecub closer to her with her large white fluffy tail.
----
unlike most of her tattlecubs, this one was actually very young. and very small for that matter. and (he/she) wasn't like the others either. (he/she) was a (pattern or color) tattlecub with a (tail length) (texture) tail and (color) eyes. (his/her) name was (name)tail.

tattletail and the others siblings loved their new sibling. though they'd wish (he/she) would play a bit more. (name)tail would spend most of (his/her) time nestled by mama or papa sleeping or watching them. as bummed out as they were, they still love the way (he/she) would cuddled them at night.
----
"is that better?" mama asked turning sleepily to her youngest cub. (name)tail nodded contently, in which mama gave a smile back and laid her head back down, snuggling up against papa.

a few hour into your sleep, you hear violent rustling outside your den. papa, a larger darker brown tattetail with a fluffier tuft of white fur on his head, a longer fluffier tail and an orange bowtie, already has his nose in the air, sniffing rapidly as the cubs stirred awake. "papa... what's wrong...?" mama sleepily asked. papa snarled. "I think something found our den. I'll be right back." he said nuzzling mama reassuringly and walks out of the den to investigate. "Are we in trouble, mama..?" asked butternut, the dandelion tattletail. "nothing to worry about, dear. papa will take care of it." mama nuzzled her reassuringly. however, as soon as she said that, she heard a thunderous roar outside. her eyes shot wide open and her ears shot upward. "papa..!" by this time, the rest of your siblings were startled awake asking multiple questions; "what was that?" "where's papa?" "me scared!" and the occasional yelp. mama did her best to console them, nuzzling them and licking their heads. (name)tail was in a confused silence. "stay in here." she ordered, before leaping out of the den to investigate.

while your tattletail siblings huddled back in the corner, you decided to take a peek out side. your eyes shot wide open at the display in front of you.

mama and papa were facing a large burly grizzly bear! it was swatting its enormous clawed paws at the agile tattletail creatures, and couldn't land a hit. they attacked fiercely at its sides, legs, belly, anywhere they can land a hit with long pointed teeth and sharp clawed feet.

you smiled. it looks like its about to go down! your siblings are also watching behind you, cheering them on.

finally, the bear had enough. with a roar of fury, it took a wild swing and it landed a hit on mama and sent her flying into a tree! she yiped and fell limply to the ground, unconscious. papa saw this and stopped his attacking, turning his attention to his mate, panic filling his eyes. "Mam-" he was then picked up by the scruff in the drooling jaws of the enraged bear. he grunted and screeched and thrashed himself about in an attempt to free himself, but he was shaken violently by his captor, stunning him.

you were in a state of shock now. here you were watching your parents getting pummeled by a bear! your siblings were crying and wailing by now but you... you felt something inside you begin to burn.

blood roared through your ears, your muscles tensed up... your back claws unsheathed..

something inside you just...

snapped.

without even thinking you lunged yourself out of the den and ran towards the lumbering creature. "(n-name)tail..! D-Don't...!" mama barely called out, still dazed and in pain. but you didn't hear her. all's that sounded in your ears was a strange grinding sound. but you didn't care. you were to focused on getting papa out of that creature's mouth. the grizzly seemed to have noticed you however and snarled. it immediately dropped papa and lumbered towards you. papa laid there, trying to make the world stop spinning around him. in his blurred vision, he saw your (color) fur streak toward them. "(n-name)tail! g-get back in the den!" he wearily called to you before shutting his eyes again to try to ignore the pain in his scruff.

you looked to papa and saw blood run down his back and neck. you saw mama struggling to get up and appear to stagger under the weight of her own head. you looked to the bear with seething hatred in your eyes. this creature must pay. it roared at you and dropped to all fours and charge at you. at that same moment, you lunged at it, with your mouth agape. the split second you lunged at it, you caught your reflection in its eye.

your (color) eyes were glowing blood red...

----------
you felt to the ground and bounced from your head, then your rump. you watched as the bear fled clumsily through the woods with blood running down one side of its cheek. because in your mouth... you held its eye. you spat it out beside you and ran over to papa, who was sitting on his haunches now. he looked at you and was startled to see blood stain your muzzle. "wh..what.. did you..." he said in a heap of concern before his eyes trailed to the discarded bear's eye. "did.. you...?"

you were at a loss for words. did you seriously just do that..? as your mouth opened in order to say some type of reasoning, papa's attention turned to mama, who was sitting up, panting. "mama." he called and ran over to her, you trailing behind him. Papa reaches her and gives her a few licks on her cheek. "you okay?" he asks, his eyes baring into her with worry. she nods as she catches her breath finally. "yes. I can walk it off." she reassures, getting to her feet. she staggers, prompting papa to let her lean on his side. she saw the blood on his scruff and bowtie and gasped. "are YOU okay?? that looks terrible!" she stated, giving his scruff a lick, cleaning some blood off. he nods reassuringly. "it's not that bad. it should heal in a few weeks." mama, though uncertain, nods. "what about the bear? did you get it?" she sounds worried as she looked around. Papa shook his head and smiled widely. "that would be your (son/daughter)." he chuckled. mama's eyes widened as she looked over at you.

you smiled bashfully and stepped back. she wobbily walked over to you and sniffed your face. her ears perked up as she picked up the scent of bear off the blood on your muzzle. her eyes then looked behind you and she spotted something round in the grass. she tottered to it and looked down at it. she gasped rather loudly. "you took out it's eye!?" she yelps. you gulp and drag your foot along the grass in shame. "me sorry, mama... I don't know what happened! I just-" before you were able to finish your sentence, mama ran over to you and started to smother you in rather suffocating nuzzles.

"I'M SO SO PROUD OF YOU! You saved our den! You saved our family, my dear (name)tail!" she purred joyously. "M-Ma-Ma!" you croaked just barely enough for her to hear. she backed up and smiled, wagging her tail. "sorry, dear. I just can't believe you saved us from that brute. and in one blow!" she smiled pridefully. at her praise, you raise your head in triumph. I saved my littermates! you look to your siblings who were actually cheering for you.

"(name)tail got rid of scary bear!"
"bye bye, bad bear!"
"(name)tail brave!"
"3 cheers for (name)tail!"

Papa grinned. "perhaps it's because she takes after you." he suggested. "has the fierce need to protect the family. just like you." mama smiles happily. "perhaps so..." she giggles and nudges you. "come on, darling. let's get you back inside. everyone should hear our story. and you should get cleaned up." you nod and crouched down, allowing papa to pick you up by the scruff In his mouth and started to walk back to the den with mama walking close beside him.

on the way back, you contemplated what papa said. you did indeed have the fierce need to protect your family. a smile curled on your muzzle as you continued to think on it. you furrowed your brow. "I will protect my family and siblings."

"Just like Mama."
