The Flight of the Wolf

Crushed Dreams

A white wolf looked at her little pups. The moon shown overhead. "Little pups," she called out. Moon, a light gray wolf pulled out from her litter mates, Fire, a redish pup with a Gray tip of tail, looked over and ran behind Moon, while Hunter, a Gray wolf with a black paw print on his cheek looked up and scattered to his feet and ran. "Settle down, I'll tell you a story," The momma wolf said. The pups all laid in their moss bed. "Now if y'all are settled I'll start." The momma wolf lifted her paw and made a fake cough to get into her story tellers voice. "One day a young wolf woke up..."

The new mom licked her pups. She was very happy. But once she saw her runt she mad a awkward face. But she pulled the runt close with the others. The dad walked in, a bird in his jaws. The full black wolf mom, moved her tail to reveal the pups. The white dad with a black spot on his eye, dropped the bird, surprised. He wasn't expecting this at this moment. He grunted. "We don't have enough prey to feed 6 more wolves!" The dad screamed. The mom sighed. "I know this is unexpected, and all, but I didn't know I was gonna have them when prey is scarce.." she whined. The dad feircly picked up the bird and fed it to the most well - fed wolf. The mom sighed and noticed lumps on the back of the runt. She sighed and curled her pups close, to keep them warm. She whispered to her pups. Then the Alpha came in. He pointed his paw away. She nodded and picked up her 6 wolves as much as she can and slowly walked out the camp grounds. She laid the pups down at a two legs door, scratched at it and headed to the forest, she looked back to see the two - legs look at her pups, then look around. She picked up each one and shut the door. The momma wolf ran off.

"I have no idea who put you here, but your way too young.. I can't take care of so young wolves." She exaimened each one, but was weirded out with the two lumps on the runts back. She decided to name them,

The full white one with a black muzzle, Mack (M)

The full black one with a white ear and four white legs, but white paws, Magic (M)

The mix black and white. With some gray, a black top, white belly, and gray out lining both, Multi (M)

The full gray one, Smoke (F)

The black one, with a Gray spot on her left eye and a spot on her back, Spots, (F)

Then finally, (The main wolf) White, with black paws and a black edge of tail like a fox, Arctic. (F)

With all them named, she examined Artic's back. She brought her to the vet, along with the others. "Hey, I found some pups on my porch, and I would like you to examine them." She said and set the cage on the corner. Once she saw they were only two days old, she was shocked. She told the girl they were too young to get checked up on. So she brought them back home. She was scared when she couldn't ffed them. They all wimpered hungrily. She eventually got wet food, wetted it even more to be on the safe side, and hand fed them. Arctic was pretty pleased. Then she set them into a blanket with a blanket on the bottom and tucked them in. She woke up the next morning. The pups were already trying to walk, but Artic kept still down in the corner. She felt Artic, and had a sigh of relief when she jumped to the touch of her fingers. She brought them out to the living room and fed them the wet food again. But the worrying came when the others opened their eyes,but Artic didn't. Mack held Smoke down playfully. "Hey! Two leg!" Magic barked. That got the humans attention. "When can Artic play?" Magic asked and looked at Artic. "Artic can't play, she will be soon." Magic sighed and Spots tackled magic. The 5 played all day till Artic barked. They looked over to see she opened her eyes! She opened her mouth to sneeze, when she sneeze tiny wings burst out of the lumps on her back. Everyone stepped back,even the owner. Artic was confused when everyone ignored her. She slept on the cold wooded floor. "Spots!" Artic popped her head up. Spots walked past her. "Smoke?" Smoke acted like Artic never existed. "MULTI! YOU'LL PLAY RIGHT!" Multi huffed and ran past her. "Magic? Can I please play?" Magic hesitated and started a growl. "If you were normal!" She whined and decided not to try with Mack. She laid her head down sadly. She looked at her fast - growing wings. They were much bigger than her. She gave out a whine, she brought them to her side and made a mad face and looked at her siblings. "ONE DAY ILL BE QUEEN OF THE WORLD AND YOU'LL BE BEGGING ME FOR STUFF! I WONT GIVE YOU A PORTION!" She yelled. They all shrugged as they ate the food. She sat at the window seal and looked at the moon with a big smile. "You'll see, one day I'll be flying, flying across the world! I'll be a huge legend!" Magic looked over. "Have fun dreaming, twerp." They all laughed. "KEEP DREAMING!" "THATS FAKE!" "YOU'LL DIE LONELY!" They all kept saying. This imediatly brought her dreams to be crushed.

The mom wolf looked at her yawning pups. "Momma how do you know this story so well?" Fire asked. "I just do.." moon yawned, along with Hunter. She gave a smile to the sleepy pups. She circled against them and stuck her wing over them. She whispered again. "I just do.." and fell asleep
