Taint grinned and aided Bantam onto her back with a nudged of er nose. Once he was up, she turned to Pearl, who had woken, and began to groom her thoroughly, her smooth pink tongue washing thoroughly away any dirt or dust on the cubs fur. Once finished, she nosed the young female towards her belly, as Pearl seemed hungry.
Cotton noticed her sister had woken. Yipping playfully, she tottered over to Pearl and nosed her maw, before seizing one aud playfully.

A grey figure sat calmly at the cave's entrance, looking in warmly with bright emerald optics. Across his left eye, a scar was clearly visible and only yesterday it had started to prickle warningly again. But the mascu ignored it. The pain that was strongest lay deep within his heart. Yes, he was happy for Taint having given birth, but it was a year ago today that he could've had a cub of his own...but that future had been taken so cruely away from him.
Anarchy bit down on his tounge and continued to watch silently.

Feeling himself be placed down beside his siblings again, Bantam nuzzle his mother lovingly. Though Anarchy's shape in the mouth of the cave made him squeal, and hide in his mother's fur behind her paws. Poking his head back out, he growled slightly at the male.

Taint nuzzled Bantam as he cowered, before looking up at the culprit. Her pretty face streched into a wide smile as she saw Anarchy and she yipped a friendly greeting.
"Hey! Mutt! Come on in!"
She called, her voice light hearted. She could not see the sombre look on her friends face, or maybe she would have greeted him differently.
Cotton noticed a large grey wolf in the mouth of the cave and her orbs widerned in fright. She yipped and attempted to bury under her brother, who was already hiding in his mother fur. Her head managed to bury itself under his chest and she stayed like that, her headless body protruding from Bantams side in a comical fashion.

(ooc- geez, need to catch up, eh?)
Keeper sighed and pressed his auds back in pain at the mention of his sister.
"She left, Taint. Gone." He whispered, his voice hoarse as if he had been crying. He turned away from Taint and curled up near the far wall and closed his eyes. I just met her and now she's gone. Keeper had suddenly had the impulse to follow his big sister, but he now had a family, and a pack of his own. He sighed mournfully.
Solo stirred and opened his orbs, his vision blurry. He whimpered and looked towards the front of the cave, but yipped in pain at the brightness of the light. Whimpering, he curled up and pressed his nose into his mother's flank.

Pearl yipped and tried to pull Cotton off her aud. That hurt! She shook her head as violently as she could, trying to dislodge her sister. She growled, baring her teeth in a tiny snarl. She managed to get Cotton off and continued on her way to Taint's belly, as she was very hungry.

Taint sighed as Keeper told her of his sister's departure. Chase had aways been friendly and kind to her, and she would miss the large femme. She went to rise so she could comfort her mate, but as she noticed Pearl she sighed and lowered herself back down, rolling onto her side to expose her belly to the young femme, she rasied her gaze so she could look at Keeper.
"I'm sorry."
She whisreped, wishing she could go to him and comfort him further.
Cotton noticed her father had walked away and struggled under her mothers paw. She plodded over to the large grey brute and stopped as she reached him, staring with awe up at his large head. She trotted round to the side and nuzzled under his large paw, until she was next to his stomach. Curling up, she pressed into Keepers belly and her orbs slid shut, sending her into sleep.

Keeper sighed and closed his orbs. Why must it hurt so much? I miss her so... He thought, his orbs filling with unshed tears. He blinked and looked down at his paws, where one of the pups, Cotton, had squeezed under his paw and was now nestled securily against his stomach. He sighed and dipped his dial to lick his small daughter on the head. He nuzzled her, for even though she was small, her presence comforted him dearly. "My little one." He whispered and looked over his shoulder at Taint. "She said that she would come back." He said, but there was a feeling tugging at her heart that she was gone for good.

Emerald optics watched the cubs hide and he smiled slightly.
That was the past, he told himself, Return to the presant(sp?)
He nodded at what Taint said and approached her slowly, not wanting to startle her litter.

Keeper looked up at the strange fae entering the cave and his hackles raised abruptly. He growled to himself and looked over at Taint. Seeing this strange fae ment them no harm, he sighed, but kept on full alert.

Taint smiled gently and nodded, although she did not believe that Chase would return, and she doubted Keeper did. She shook her head as Keeper began to growl, and jerked her head in Anarchy's direction.
"Don't worry, Keeper, this is Anarchy. We're old friends."
She explained, she chuckled as Cotton snuggled up to her father and her orbs filled with love. She was so glad to have pups, and be a mother. But she was especially glad that they were Keepers pups, and that she and her mate could enjoy the pleasures of parent-hood together.
Cotton stirred as her father spoke, and breathed a sleepy sigh. She curled up tighter and snuggled deeper into her fathers warm fur, before drifting into sleep once more.

Keeper nodded 'ward his mate, but his gaze never left the brute. He co-cked his head as he felt Cotton snuggle closer to him.
He sighed and looked tenderly at Taint. He was glad to become a father, but was a bit troubled. Will I be a good father? Was the pack right to choose me as alpha? The last deeply troubled him. HE nervously licked Cotton.
Solo stirred, rising from his mother's flank. He feebly whimpered and looked around. He noticed Pearl nursing and he lunged at her, but clumsily fell.

As Breeze bathed Strider with her tongue, he struggled, growling indignantly. Suddenly, Breeze saw Keeper, looking very unhappy. || Not now, not when everything's finally geting back to normal! || Breeze's mind cried out. "Stay here you!" she told Strider, then cautiously loped to a few feet from the mouth of the cave. Where's Ash? She worried to herself, she hadn't seen him in days. "Taint? Keeper? Is everything okay?" she called out softly, not moving much, trying not to disturb their young.

Feather's curiousity was aroused, she heard noises... pups! No! Her mind cried out as the alpha let so many males in her cave. No, they'll hurt them! Like they did with mine..." Feathers looked lovingly down at her pups, but realized that only Ghost was there. She looked around frantically, and saw the little cub racing curiously towards the cave. || No! They'll hurt you! They'll kill you before they realize you're harmless! || Yet, her body froze, and she could make no noise, watching the scene unfold before her. Then Blue was gone, out of site. Her heart yearned to stop Blue, but she would take no chances of losing Ghost, or leaving Ghost defenseless. || It's all his fault... he left! He left, and left me alone, surrounded by whelp-eating cubs! || Feathers shook the thought from her mind, and tried to quell her thoughts. || You don't know what really happened || Feathers reminded herself scoldingly. The wolf, who's name she couldn't bear to even think, had gone out, probably for a short hunt, and never returned. Foolishly, Feathers made a rash descision, and left the cave, even though it was only for a short time, and when she returned her young were defenseless, beset upon by strange brutes. She had only saved two, and now what would become of Blue? Her heart thumped quickly, as she waited for the horror to come.

Strider curiously watched as a tiny wolf, only a tiny bit older than the alpha's cubs, raced adventureously into the cave. Strider smiled, amused, as the ever-watching Breeze snatched him up by the ruff.
Blue sped, fleet of foot as he could be, curious of the noises within. He couldn't help himself, it sounded like his brothers and sisters, who he'd never known after his senses came to him, never actually looked upon them, or heard them. He raced forward, hoping to find his litter.
Breeze, who'd been keeping a slight watch on Strider, was the wolf who noticed the cub. Immediately, and instinctively, she lifted him by the ruff. She gently waited until he stopped squirming, then set him down, looking at him carefully, and using her paws so he couldn't dash off.
Breeze frowned, the whelp, a male, was around the same age as the alphens' litter. No, his gait was smoother, and he was bigger, but not by much! She frowned, wondering where he came from. The cub looked up at Breeze, tongue out, tail wagging, panting happily after his excersize. Then he grew afraid, memories of feeling the shadow and hurting-want of brutes, though he didn't remember them assaulting him and his litter. He shrunk into a tiny ball, whimpering softly.
Breeze realized that the young one was scared. Frowning, she also realized that this wee one wasnt weaned yet either. She gently picked him up by his scruff, and slowly carried him into the den, to show him to the alphas.
Blue shuddered against the touch, but soon relaxed, and grew excited when he saw the litter. He squirmed, wriggling to get free, believing them to be his brothers and sisters. Breeze bowed her head respectfully at the alphas, but couldn't speak with her mouth full of a reckless furball. She set him down gently next to Keeper, making sure she didn't get too close to their young, then explained "He was running into the den, I saw him, and, well... he's around the same age as your's, but you said you only have four. Well, he's not weaned, so maybe could you watch him Taint, and Keeper, until I find the mum, or figure out what happened to her?" She quickly spoke, then waited for the response.

Pearl finished nursing and smacked her lips contentedly. She sniffed the air again and smelled MORE wolves! She was a very curious wolf and unsteadily trotted over towards the new smells to investigate. She bumped into Breeze's leg and sat down fast with a little yelp. Her vision wasn't that wonderful yet, so Breeze appeared a little fuzzy in her sight. She raised her small maw upwards towards Breeze and whimpered a bit, wondering who she was. Then Pearl noticed Blue, clasped in Breeze's mouth.

Keeper co-cked his head at Breeze, an unsettleing feeling rising in his stomach. He moved uneasily at the presence of the strange wolves. He noticed Blue and nodded. "He can stay... If it's okay with Taint." He added quickley, looking over at his mate.
Solo, a bit perterbed about being ignored feebly growled at his sister Pearl. He wobbled over to her and attacked her, and pulled on her aud.
Ghost looked uncertaintly at his mother, then back to his brother. He snorted angrily at his mischeivous brother, but remained solid next to his mother.

Pearl softly growled and shook off Solo- she was getting a lot of practice at this. She was more interested in the new wolves than roughhousing- she would play later. There were more interesting things to investigate at the moment. She reached her paw up and batted Blue's maw, and then sat down again, waiting for his response.

Breeze was surprised at the young one's touch, and gently set Blue down, and gave a soft lick on Pear's maw. Then, with a smile, she backed out until she was at the mouth of the cave. Suddenly, Strider's head poked in curiously, as he was unable to help himself.
