Tahti/Predator/Tainted

Tahti walked into the long marsh-grass and gave birth to two pups. She cleaned them and allowed them to nurse for a few minutes, but then she left them. As mean as it sounded, she only did this to protect them. She was sure they would be killed if her alpha found out.

Predator and Tainted, as the sisters had been called, yelped and whined when they could no longer feel their mother's warmth.

Avril

Avril walked along the edges of the marshy waters, her head and tail low. Her paws sank into the muck as she soon came across the same tall grasses the pups were left in, and thinking it would be drier in there, she quickly found herself leaping into the blades. She was about to curl up when the sound of pup whines reached her auds, and a scent came to her. Curious, she wandered forward a ways until she could see the forms of pups just between the grass. Sniffing them, she approached and looked around to see if they had really been abandoned or not.

Kalaber

He had been sniffing around for some food for his mate who just gave birth to two pups when he heard pups. He moved over to them and sniffed them and then picked up predator after he could tell the mother would not be returning He would come back for the other if it was still there.He slowly and carefully moved toward grass prairie

Avril

Avril saw only one pup was left after she experienced some male come and take the other. Curious, and also a bit annoyed that someone would simply take a pup, she started toward the one left and sniffed at it. She could take in this one in if the mother didn't appear soon.

Predator/Tainted

Predator growled softly as she was picked up, but soon calmed down. Tainted no longer felt her sister next to her. She started whining, trying to keep warm.

Avril

Avril heaved a sigh as the single pup began whining again, so she simply took it upon herself and walked over to it, laying down next to the small lone body and trying to curl up around it. At that moment, she wondered where her sister was. She should have told her she was leaving, and was suddenly feeling a bit ashamed of it. Then again, she was old enough. She'de just wait and see if Esprit found her first.

Kalaber

He looked back to see avril but then ontinued on his way to the prairi soon dissapearing.

Tainted

Tainted stopped squirming when she felt the warmth of Avril. Surely this was not her mother, but it didn't matter in such a situation. This was life or death.

Esprit & Avril

Avril continued to lay there, sniffing the pup's scent. Smelled awfully like that coyote she had recently met... But she couldn't be sure.

Suddenly, Esprit burst into the tall grass and fixed her eyes on her sister, breathing hard. "Why did you run off? And who's pup is this?" she asked, winded, worry evident in her features. "I was tired of sitting around and listening to you talk for me, and I don't know whose this is!" she spoke, her voice soft yet still annoyed. This only caused Esprit to take on a nasty look but stay silent regardless.

Tahti/Luke

Luke's eyes widened when he saw the pup. This was his daughter; he knew it. But he still kept his mouth shut. It was agreed that nobody would know.

Tahti came back, just to make sure her pups would be in good care. She stood next to Luke and peered into the grass at Tainted. She was sure Avril would be a good mother.

Kalaber

Kal had returned to check to see about the other pup.He passed right by where tahti andl uke were.He stoped and smiled as he saw espirit and Avril.Well i see Avril has taken to the other pup. If you wish you may come and stay closer to the pack avril so you can have more protection and you can learn to be a mother by helping Black out too.. She has just given birth to two pups and asd you saw i took the other pup.Please come back to the pack for safety. Good day EspiritHe said yawning.His chest showed the scar from the battle and so did his muzzle.

Tahti/Luke

Tahti growled when she saw Kalaber. "He has Predator?!" She blurted out, but quickly realized her mistake. She mentally slapped herself for giving it away that these were her children. Luke looked at her uneasily. "Now you must explain it, Tahti." He said softly. The coyote sighed and looked at Avril. "If I keep the pups, my alpha will surely punish me and them." She explained. "Just do not let them know who their parents are."

Kalaber

Kal came to a stop at the voice and he glanced back but then just nodded to her. His tail wagged twice and then stopped.Come Avril Espirit lets return home i must not leave my mate alone too longHe spoke silently and then went back off toward the prairie

Esprit & Avril

Avril was a bit startled when Kalaber suddenly came back, and she gave her head a slight tilt. She had never had pups herself, let alone anyone to call a mate, so she figured it'de be a good experience. She simply gave a nod, and prepared to stand when Tahti suddenly had her little outburst. It caused both Avril and Esprit to turn their heads in shock, but Avril only gave one last nod. "If that's how you want it... It's probably best," she stated, and then turned to pluck Tainted up in her jaws. Then she headed off, following Kalaber.

"Well, I soppose I must go as well... It was a pleasent experience," she stated, and then thought, And what an unusual experience... Seemed it was a small world and everyone had a similar problem. So with one last nod to them, she heaved a sigh and started off to the prairie as well.

Tahti/Luke

Tahti sighed, nodding to the wolves and walking away. Luke followed her, tail wagging.
