She ran about the house, searching for a place that she could hide the wolf pups.
But, it was to no success as the old farm house would surely give away any hiding spot and it didn't have a stone foundation for a basement to exist. There was simply no way she could hide the pups and as she circled the house again, the six wolf pups following in confusion.
They yipped and whined at her and when she finally accepted that she had to figure something else out, she slumped into a stool at the kitchen island with a heavy sigh. The pups made noises and curled their bodies through the legs of the chair, glancing up with question.
"I'm doomed," She groaned, putting her head against the counter's surface, "I barely saved you guys and now I'm going to lose you." She felt her heart clench a little as she moved to glance down at her wolf pups. They were too innocent and she was unmistakably loving them.
Suddenly, she thought of something.
"The shed," She exclaimed, leaping from her chair. The pups scattered in horror, their tiny claws scratching the linoleum in order to get away, and they stopped in the doorway on high alert. She grinned at them, "There's a shed about a hundred yards back in the woods, its abandoned and my Dad never goes out there. Its perfect!"
She felt as though she could do a happy dance. It was strange that she had become so attached to them in so little time. It had only been three days since she found them and she simply couldn't imagine being away from them. They comforted her when her father couldn't.
"Its going to be wonderful," She said as she went over to her fridge and began pulling out some meat, the pups curiously watching her, "You guys can't destroy anything there. It will only be for a couple days and then I'll bring you back inside. We'll go check it out first thing in the morning. Are you guys hungry?"
One of the pups slightly tilted his head but it almost looked like he nodded and she laughed. She quickly made up their evening meals and when it was devoured, they retreated to her bedroom. She climbed into bed after a quick shower and she didn't even think twice about bringing the pups up with her. She snuggled down in her covers as the pups snuggled around her.
Morning came early, as she set her alarm, and the noise almost startled the pups right off her bed. She chuckled, preventing one from slipping off the edge in alarm, and then she quickly silenced the noise. She wasted no time in throwing on some clothes and heading downstairs, the pups hot on her heels.
She gave herself a few hours before it was possible for her father to arrive so she took her time to make them breakfast. She fed the pups individually until the oldest turned his nose up at the meat. She groaned.
