Mini Alphas

[GreySpark]

-When will their eyes open? -

Bantam yipped as he felt himself being pushed gently to the side, and nipped his sister affectionatly before patting at Taint's paw, wondering whether it was food or not, he had no experience of food. He turned again, and almost tripped over Solo's tail before snuggling up next to his mother to sleep.

[Taint]

ooc: I guess their eyes can open sometime today.... as soon as either me or Keeper make our pups eyes open, then their eyes can open ^^

bic: Cotton nipped Bantam's plume back, before curling up next to her brother. She snuggled up to her mother, squeaking her comfort, before resting her head on tiny mitts and falling asleep.

Taint smiled as the two pups who had woken fell back into sleep, before turning back to Keeper with a broad smile.

"They're perfect."

She murmered, leaning her crania on his shoulder and closing her orbs. Suddenly, she lifted her head and tilted it to the side.

"What did Chase need to tell you?"

She asked, her expression suddenly quizical(sp).

[GreySpark]

-Okies. ^^

KEEPER!!! *shrieks to get attention* When you come back on, please talk to Hamaen and Verve at the First Cave!-

[Taint]

ooc: Lol ;D

[GreySpark]

At the mouth of the cave, a fairly small 3 spring old female stood, peeking through the cave to view the Alphas and the pups. She opened her mouth in delight, she loved pups. Suddenly, she received a sharp nip from her brother. Pulling herself out of view, she faced Hamaen.

' Ow! What did you do that for? ' she protested in annoyance. Hamaen rolled his eyes.
' You can't just burst in there! ' he replied.
' Why not? '
' One, its the Alpha and Council wolves cave, cause I remember. And secondly, they have pups! So they're going to be very protective. You wait out here, ' he said, and with that he walked slowly into the cave, though only about half a metre before he stopped. ' Milady, Milord. I assume you are the Alphas? Me and my sister Verve ask your permission to join the pack. Our uncle was your old Alpha, ' he said, introducing himself and Verve, who had snuck up behind him.

[Taint]

Taint looked up as she heard a male voice. Her first instinct was to snarl, and she did so, curling tighter around her pups. But, as she realsied he had stopped a respectable distance from her and Keeper, she relaxed slightly and listened to his statement.

When he had finished, she noticed a female behind him and nodded curtly. Then, she turned her attention back to the brute who had spoken.

"Yes, we are the alphas of this terra. You're the old alphas pups? Sky.... oh, you mean her father. Ok. Of course, we would be happy to accept you into Misty Moors, please, make yourselves at home."

She smiled, before nodding again. Then, without a word, she turned back to her family. Hamean and Verve were dismissed.

Cotton rolled over onto her back in her sleep, tiny jaws parted slightly. Her tongue lolled from her mouth and the sound of soft snoring floated from her vocals. One rear leg twitched every now and then as she dreamt.

[GreySpark]

Hamaen and Verve both bowed respectfully, then Verve opened her mouth to speak again, but Hamaen kicked her with a back paw before she did, not even looking. He knew his little sister like the back of his paw, and knew what she would do usually.

' Now we go out, ' he said firmly, pushing Verve out of the cave. He turned back again. ' Thank you, milady, ' he said, then they left.

Bantam was disturbed by the noise, and rolled about sleeplessly, whimpering softly.

[Taint]

ooc: I am gonna skip forward in time, 'cause other whys the pups will just have to sit there with closed eyes. So, they can wake up now with open eyes! ^^

bic: Cotton slipped back into consciousness, wriggling frantically to get to her feet. Once she was up, her lids began to flutter, she started and backed into her mother.
Her orbs slowly began to open, her eyelids removing themselves from her eyeballs and sliding into her head. She growled as blurred colours danced before her eyes and whirled around in confusion.

Soon, her sight had become focused and she squinted up at Taint, who looked so... big. She began to wobble, and sat down heavily before rotating hr head slowly to take in her siblings appearances.

She yipped with glee as she adjusted to her new found sense, and began to wriggle slowly around, crawling over her sleeping siblings.
When she was draped comfortably over Solo's stomach, she noticed her father and almost fell over backwards.

He was even bigger than Taint, towering above the tiny pup, and he was lying down. She slid of her brother and buried her head in her mothers fur, whining fearfully.

[GreySpark]

-YAYNESS! Here's an impression of Cotton: Hehe-

Hearing yips and her sister falling on top of him, Bantam squealed and rolled over, laying his head on his mother's back paw that was resting nearby. Then he felt a tickly feeling on his face, and he reached up to feel eyelashes against his head. Yipping in fright, he wondered what was there. Suddenly, a huge whirl and world of strange colours, all mixed into shapes and forms, made him jump up and start jumping around, barking madly as if there were some kind of enemy there.

He looked around, and realised he could blink. He blinked furiously several times just for the fun of it, to see what would happen if he did it lots. Everything became clearer, and if he didn't blink for a while his eyes hurt. He looked up to see his proud mother, and smiled in delight, his salmon-pink tongue lolling out of his mouth. Seeing his grey-silver father, he yipped at him and then his siblings, seeing Cotton's eyes had opened too.

[Taint]

Taint beamed down at Bantam and Cotton as they found their sight.

"My clever little darlings!"

She exclaimed, nuzzling each one in turn. She gently pulled Cotton from her fur and licked the little pups maw.

Cotton yipped in protest as her mother dragged her from the safety of her stomach. Looking up at her father once more, she realised that he was not the monster he had taken him for at first and growled playfully at him. As she was set down next to Bantam, she batted his shoulder playfully, her deep blue orbs alive with curiosity.

[Breeze]

Strider entered the cave cautiously, and barked a friendly greeting, in his overgrown cub way, and looked at the alphas for permission to come over to the pups; whining eagerly. Strider loved pups, especially since his childhood had been taken from him early, and thus he was still puppy-like, and had a fondness for pups. His tail beat the ground furiously, raising up dust, as he sat back on his haunches, watching.

[Taint]

Taint's lips pulled back in a silent snarl as Strider appeared. She shook her head before relaxing again. This youngster meant no harm. Smiling, she shook her head again. He couldn't come any closer for now.

[GreySpark]

Bantam nuzzled his sister in return, watching her with bright eyes. The world looked really big to him. Even though what he thought was the world was actually the cave.

Seeing Strider, Bantam whimpered and yipped, jumping in front of his mother to 'protect' his family. He plucked up his courage and did his best to growl.

[Taint]

As Cotton laid eyes on Strider, she whimpered in fright and once again found herself buried in her motehrs fur, her rump shaking in fear.

Taint smiled and nuzzled Cotton affectionately, before turning and lifting Bantam gently between her jaws and placing him back by her belly. She licked the top of his head in praise, she was glad he had attempted to protect his loved ones.

[GreySpark]

Bantam squealed in delight as she licked his head, he loved the warm wet-head feeling he got. Looking at his paws, he found out that he could retract his claws. He smiled and licked his claws, but he hurt his tongue and soon whimpered, forgetting about Strider.

[Taint]

Cotton, comforted by her mothers caress, backed up again and turned to Bantam. A mischevious look entered her deep blue orbs and she lifted her mitt, batting his maw playfully.

[GreySpark]

Bantam leapt from his mother's embrace and pounced on his little sister, growling, chewing on Cotton's left ear affectionatly, in a playful manner.

[Breeze]

Obeying the alpha's request, Strider stayed where he was. Suddenly he realized he was an affront to the pups. This had never happened to him before, and he backed out slowly to the mouth of the cave, tail tucked down, whining softly from the rebuke.

Breeze, who had come looking for Strider, expecting him to be in the middle of some kind of mischief, barked a soft greeting to the alphas, but stayed a few feet from the mouth of the cave, giving space to the protective mum. She smiled at the young, then softly reprimanded Strider. "Strider! You don't go intruding into a cave with newborns!" she softly scolded. "Look at you! You're a mess! Where have you been Mister? No wonder they're afraid of you, look at your fur!" She smiled, and winked at Taint, mouthing "Pups!" with a silent shake of her head, before picking up the large cub by the ruff and taking him a few yards away.

Strider mumbled complaints as his paws and tail thumped against the ground and rocks, twisting indignantly.

[Setsuna]

Pearl woke up, and yawned so widely that her jaw cracked. Smacking her lips, she wobbled her way onto her feet. blinking slowly, she realized she could see! And what was that over their just coming into focus? She knew the scent, she had smelled it before. (ooc- its strider) She unsteadily padded her way over to Taint, her mother. She was hungry, and wanted to nurse.

[GreySpark]

Bantam barked and yipped at Pearl, nudging her hard in the ribs, then tried hard to climb onto his mother's back.
