A silent shape moves through the forest, a she-wolf, eyes wide with fear. She carries a small, newborn pup by the scruff as she runs. From behind can be heard the lumbering movements of a hunter. The wolf spots a hollow tree and sets the pup down inside. She licks the pup once on the head and vanishes. A few moments later a gunshot cuts through the forest and cheers are heard from the hunter. The pup, now orphaned, is only a few hours old. It whimpers and cries trying to find the warm milk scent of her mother. Hours pass and the pup grows weaker.

Tiny was wondering she was only a few days old. He heard some cries and he, came across a pup that was a few hours old. Tiny grabbed the pup, and ran back to the mothers den. A mother gladly feed the tiny pup. Tiny sat and watched as the pup ate.

OOC: joining as the mother.
Astra Lay on her side feeding her newborn litter of pups. Her eyes widened as her boy pup, tiny, came back with a newborn "oh dear...place her beside me." she had heard the gunshot in the distance, the mother must've been shot. She licked the pup's fur to warm her, and nudged her to a teat, so that the tiny female could drink.

"Mom, what will the alpha think?" Tiny said to Astra. He looked at her his eyes green and wide. "And father?" He said quietly. Tiny was tired from running he laided down next to the pup, and cuddled into Astra's fur.

Sadie trotted slowly, her round belly causing her to waddle. This would be her first litter and she was terrified. Her mate had been killed by hunters about a month before, leaving her alone and struggling to survive on her own. A gunshot had sent her scrambling for safety. She yelped as she came across the scent of a mother and two pups, one much different in scent. She shuffled back in fear. Her last encounter with a mother had ended badly and she had a scar to prove it. Pain filtered in through her fear and she felt fresh panic surface. Her pups were coming and she had no where to have them that was safe.
-
Astra jumped as another gunshot was heard, followed by the scent of a female. She could smell the scent of fresh milk. "i'll be darned. What is this, mating central?" she cursed "get in here! are you stupid?" she howled to the female who she couldnt quite see yet. She tucked her pups against her tightly licking Tiny's forehead soothingly "they would never make me leave a pup to die sweetheart. dont worry, you did a good thing" she whispered.

Tiny smiled. Tiny softly snored because he was really tired. His black-ish fur fluffing in his mothers fur. Tiny moved closer to Astra.

Sadie scurried into the den and froze, her thin frame coming to an abrupt halt. She was shaking and reeked of fear. "I cannot thank you enough." She whispered, green eyes wide as she glanced down at the pups and the mother. "My name is Sadie. I'm a loner. My pups are coming." She murmured. She was a rather young fae, this being her first year on her own. She was obviously inexperienced when it came to socializing and having pups. She winced as another contraction pulled her attention from the wolves before her. She was still standing at the edge of the den, her black fur ruffling in the cool breeze filtering in through the dens opening.
-
Astra nodded and immediately moved to get up "tiny, keep your brothers and sister together for warmth" she said softly nudging them into a tiny group of fluffiness. She walked over to Sadie "My name is Astra, this was my second litter. Lie down, on your side so that your belly is exposed" she said. "im sorry, but i have no herbs, and no moss for your head" she said apologetically.
-
Sadie shook her head with a worried smile. "You have a safe place for me and my pups. Thank you for that." She offered. She slowly dropped to the ground so she was lying on her side. She gritted her teeth as another pain shot through her belly. "I'm nervous. Their father was shot a moon ago." She whispered, green eyes falling on Astra.
-
Astra licked the young mother's face comfortingly " My mate was lost to a bear." she said in reply. "Tiny, do we still have water soaked moss? or did they dry up already?" she asked her son still facing Sadie. "i need you to breath, it isnt time to push yet. How many contractions have you had?" she asked as she felt Sadie's belly with her nose.
-
The young female blinked and tried to focus on the female before her. "Only a few. No more than four." She answered softly, her ears flattening against her skull. She was much calmer than before with the female with her. "Thank you for helping me." She mumbled with a weak smile.

Tiny nodded to his mother half-asleep. He grabbed the wet moss and handed it to his mother. His green and blue, eyes twinkle in the lighting.

She quickly licked her son's head before nudging him away gently "Go sleep with your siblings, i shall be there soon" she murmured and turned back to the female. She nosed the moss closer to Sadie "drink a few sips, not all of it. A few more contractions and we will begin the birth" she said.
-
Sadie nodded and licked at the moss a few times. She stopped mid-drink at one point to grit her teeth against another contraction. She grunted and turned her gaze to the pups. "I believe it will only be two. Three at the most. They are early and I was never very large." She mumbled, trying to talk to keep her mind off of her anxiety. A few contractions passed and the female began to push, instinct taking over more than her actual knowledge.
-
Astra nodded and when sadie began to push, she sat down next to her "Breathe deeply, 5 seconds between every push" she instructed, her voice soft. Another bang went off, closer to the cave this time, and her fur prickled. She quickly got up and went to the opening of the cave, sniffing the air. The smell of Gunpowder hit her nose and she growled. "Their close, we have to hurry. Dont worry sadie, i wont let them hurt you or my pups" she said. She quickly went back to sadie's side, positioning herself in front of the female, so that any bullets would hit her first.

Tiny wimpered. "Father...." He said quietly. He woke up, and silently walked past his mother and Sadie. He walked out the cave sniffing trying to find his father's sent when he saw a wolf, a big male. He whimpers again and run to his mother standing behind her.

Sadie caught scent of the male and the hunters and a snarl ripped through her. She was a small fae, but immediately her ears perked up and her fur raised. She was displaying rather dominant signs for a female that had begged for safety with a lone female and her pups. However, her display was cut off when she had to push once more. A while passed before the female had three small and wiggling pups at her stomach nursing. Two males and a female. One a startling silver while the others were dark gray and black.
-
Astra snarled crouching beside Sadie, ready to attack the male if he came too close. " Tiny! Take your siblings into the back of the cave!" she shouted and ran out of the den to confront the male " who are you?! Stop where you are now!" she snarled. She was usually pretty nice but she had pups to protect.
-
Sadie sighed in exhaustion. "Tiny, I know you do not know me, but I will protect you. Get your siblings and stay behind me." She growled softly. She turned and positioned herself so her pups were facing the back of the cave with her curled protectively around them all.
