    a silent shape races through the underbrush breathing hard. it is a she wolf caring her newly born pup in jaw. behind her can be heard the heavy footfalls of a hunter. fear is flashing in the her eyes. she knows she won't be able to outrun this human so she franticly scants the forest flashing by. she spots a hollow tree up ahead and races to it. she gently sets her pup down and licks it once on top of the head before racing away. a few moments later shot is heard through the forest off. the pup, now orphaned, begins to stir and whine and searching for her mothers warm sent. hours pass and the kits cries grow weaker before they stop altogether. the pups chest, faintly rising and falling are the only sign that she is still alive.

    she wolf ran over to the tree. She stuck her head into see the pup too. She picked it up and put it close to her stomach hoping the pup would catch the scent of her milk. She laid down and looked up at the male wolf. "Is this your pup?"she asked him.

    "Poor thing." said Lilly. She got up to go hunt for the pup, she came across a dead body she sniffed it and called to the other cat to come see it. She turned and went back to the pup. " I will raise her as my own. I name this pup Dawn." said Lilly giving the pup a lick on the head.

    " we'll then lets. Ummm... Will you help me raise her I have six other pups and I need your help, I have three more pups on the way." she explained looking up at him with hopeful eyes.

    She looked at him with thankful eyes. " I'm not asking you because you look like a good mate, I'm asking you because your a good wolf" she said as she gave him a lick on the ear. " we better get back to camp." she said As she got up. She picked up the kit and began to walk towards the camp.

    She walked to the camp. When they got there she went into her den. She looked at him signaling with her tail to come with her. When they were inside there were five pups fast asleep, she laid Dawn down to sleep. " there beutiful aren't they?" she said as she looked at him to sit down next to her.

    "Thank you." she blushed "I might have three more." she said as she looked at him. " well let's get some rest." she said as she laid her head down to sleep. " you may sleep here if you like." she said as she closed her eyes.
