Koto

"I agree, he's a strong fighter but all the same, I think I should go back to camp and warn them that there is a loner around the territory. I'll be quick and come right back-I'll even bring Zeta back to make sure that we have enough strength to easily win if there is a fight." Koto scented the air, trying to tell if the lone wolf was coming closer but the damp air of the forest and the swift breeze made it hard to tell.

Flight:

"You'd better go. I'll keep watch here until you get back."

Koto:

"I'll come back and we'll scout the area. Just don't...get in a fight or something." With that, he trotted off.

Flight:

She sniffed the air after Koto had left. She couldn't tell if the loner was near or not. If he was...then she would give him something he wouldn't forget.

Slither

Slither felt more movement and kicks in her stomach and she flinched. "Blitz, get the medic.." she whispered. She felt something unusual and she was very confused.

Convel, Guard of Silent Sky
Convel growled low, marking the territory. He made sure everything was marked. He smelled a new scent in the air and laid his ears back.

Blitz

Blitz quickly got up, wondering if it was the pups but he had no time for questions and he ran to the medic's den, summoning him. The medic gathered some herbs and rushed to Slither with Blitz at his shoulder.

Koto

He ran quickly back to the pack, warning the wolves in camp to be on guard or the loner. He told Zeta to go find Convel and she ran off, finding him the tip of their territory. Koto then ran back to Flight.

Slither

Slither wheezed in pain, "S-Something's kicking my stomach." She growled low. She felt multiple kicks until she put two and two together. She was having her pups now.

Blitz
"Help her!" He growled to the medic. He sat by Slither and licked her ears, encouraging her to be strong.

Medic
"Clam down, many wolves have done this before even without a medic's help." He fed Slither some herds for strength and then felt her stomach lightly. "Should only be two." He commented and then he straitened, "The first pup is coming." His voice was calm but he could tell that Blitz didn't know what to do so he said, "Blitz, why don't you find Slither a thick stick to clamp her jaws on when the pain comes."

Blitz
He nodded and darted off, returning with a long, thick stick. He placed it at Slither's muzzle.

Slither

Slither mumbled something inaudible, biting on the stick as the first pup came. She growled low, cringing at the pain. Her eyes were shut tight and she could hear the soft murmurs of Blitz, trying to keep her calm.

The medic checked the first pup, cleaning away any excess from it's journey through Slither. He nudged the pup to her side. The next pup came and he repeated the process. After a few moments, Slither calmed down, letting the stick fall from her mouth and she opened her eyes to see her pups.

Blitz

Blitz smiled down at Slither and her two beautiful pups.

Kofi
Kofi nuzzled into her mother's warm belly fur, starting to suckle. She drank the warm milk to fill up her empty tummy.

Medic
"Congratulations Slither. You've done very well and now I'll leave you four alone." He got up and left, saying that he would come by latter to make sure that everyone was healthy.

Slither

Slither looked at Blitz with dazzling eyes. She smiled and licked the top of her pups' heads as they drank the milk from her belly. She nuzzled them a little closer, wrapping herself around them. She then nuzzled Blitz's cheek, very happy.

Bone

Bone nuzzled closer to his mom, squeaking. He opened his mouth in a yawn and his eyes were still sealed shut. He squeaked once more, his nose moving up and down as he breathed in the nice air.

Blitz

Blitz nuzzled Slither and gently brushed his tail over the pups so that they would know that their 'father' was there. "What should we name them?" He asked, wondering what Slither had in mind.

Kofi

Kofi finished suckling and lay on top of her brother. She nuzzled close to Slither and began to fall asleep.

Slither

Slither looked at the two pups and smiled, "Kofi and Bone?"

She cuddled them close to her and cleaned them once more. She moved Kofi off Bone and licked the two gently as they fell asleep.

Blitz
"Two beautiful names for two beautiful pups." He lay next to Slither but still gave her enough room to move around if she needed to lick them or nuzzle. A worried thought came into his mind, what if these pups turn out to be just like Demon? But he quickly pushed it away. These pups had Slither's blood in them also which ment that they couldn't be bad, and he would do whatever it took to make sure these pups turned out well, even if it meant pretending that he was their father.

Flight

She sat there scanning the landscape. Nothing. She sighed. That's when she heard a growl. She whirled, and there stood a scruffy wolf with dark fur. He growled again.

Demon

"Why hello there. Care for some...company?" He then uttered something halfway between a growl and a laugh.

Flight

She stepped back her hair all on end. "This is Silent Sky pack lands and you don't belong here."

Demon

"How unfortunate." With that, he charged. He expected the she-wolf to give way. He expected to win.

Flight

Flight took the lone wolf's charge head on. She dodged to the side as he charged her, causing him to miss. She growled and flicked her tail angrily.

Koto

Koto arrived just as the fighting began. He howled for Zeta and Convel to come help and then he jumped into the fight, pushing Deman off of Flight and snapping at his muzzle. He scratched Demon's sides and face and let out a low growl, waiting for Demon to counter-attack

Demon

Demon howled with anger and rushed Koto.

Flight

A blur of furious fur shot past Koto before he could leap on Demon. It was Flight. She knocked Demon completely over surprising him.
