Read Inky and Alpine- The beginnings :: Not so Alone

The next morning, it was decided that they would alternate days hunting as to not tire out. As the days went by, The two pups grew older and expanded their den. One day, Alpine and Inky went to hunt together and met a badger wich tore their ears up, but it was fine eventually (although it did hurt at first, They found some plants that, when crushed and put on the wound, reduced the pain by a whole lot). One night, they were almost asleep when their ears perked up at the sound of a rustling in a bush. Alpine boldly stepped towards it. The noise sounded like footsteps, and for a moment they were scared of the animal control, until they realised that these steps sounded lighter, that there were at least 3. They waited, and a head poked out. Not a human head, but a dog head.

The dog stepped out. He was snowy-white, with tints of grey and blue mixed in. His piercing eyes were a shade of icy-blue, with hints of grey. 'hey. Whaddre yeh two doing out 'ere?!'

'It's where we live'

'Ahh. I'm Blizzard, by the way.Where are your parents?'

' They're dead. And who are you, really?'

'I'm the last warrior of The Shadow pack.'

'No?!'

'yes, what with the food shortage an' all........ yeh know what, Why don' yeh join theh pack, eh? You two look like yeh could be amazin' warriahs, what with your massive pile of prey.'

Inky and Alpine turned to eachother.

The trail to the camp was long and winding. Damp autumn leaves and pebbles were scattered across the dirty floor.

'I dunno, Inky, should we trust him?'

' it's fine! come on, let's catch up quickly!'

After what seemed like an age of weaving through trees, Brizzard stopped abruptly.

'Ere we are!'

The camp was made out of a large clearing in the very thick of the woods. Large dens very much alike to their own lined the edge, and in the very centre there was a large campfire set alight. As the days went past the sisters settled in and were introduced to everyone else in the pack. Ash, the medic. Fang, the leader. Of course, Blizzard, the warrior. There was even a litter of pups born. Spark, Mango, and Electra. After a fortnight or so after the two sisters had moved in, Fang had an announcement to make. He stood by the campfire and summoned everyone to watch.

'As you can tell, We have two new warriors. they have contributed a great deal to the, er, Amazing increase of food we have experienced. Still, though we are hungry. We are Happy to welcome our new pups and future warriors into the pack. Apart from that, I have something very exciting to announce. I will be appointing Blizzard as Deputy.'

There was a large gasp from the crowd. (off topic a bit: The old lazy white dog had lost most of his accent by now.) Why would fang, the fluffy white trickster, appoint him as deputy?
