Angel the wolf

Chapter 1 The storm BOOM CRACK, the thunder splintered she wolf's ears, and the lightning was blinding. The roaring wind was as loud as a lion, and the storm was just beginning. The wind was pushing poor Angel farther and farther from her den. She must get there, or she won’t give birth in time. Finally, she ran and used all her strength, and she made it. She knew it was a bad idea when she saw the looks of those clouds to go looking for her mate alone. She lay on the dry fuzzy moss; It gave her much comfort because she knew her time was near. Because she lost her muskrat in the storm, she would now be hungry. It was okay now, for she was out of the storm. She had no luck finding her mate, and she was sad that she gave birth without him. The movement against her stomach reminded her that her pups were here. Since it was midnight, she couldn't really see her pups, but she could make out five fuzzy little figures in the dark touching her stomach. Angel had been waiting a long time for this moment, For she was filled with joy she looked up and outside the storm was over. But it was still raining. She could see a lot of puddles. And she noticed something in one of the deep puddles by her den. A shiny thing, “it's just a few steps away should I go,” Angel thought. She ran over there grabbed it with her muzzle. She didn't want to stay out long, or her pups would be cold. She trotted to the deep part of the den to her pups and looked the thing over very well it was a rock. It did not shine anymore. Did she retrieve the shiny thing? It was dawn now. 3 pups are male. she observed the 2 females. “Sofia is the girl with black ears. Mallory, the second girl just gray. Mike is gray too, but he has brown eyes Zion blue eyes and he is just black. Trenedy, he had a pink nose that is very unusual.” She had never seen this before weird. “Maybe it will change color as he gets older”. she got up to see if the shiny thing was still there. But it wasn't, could this grey nonglowing rock be the shiny thing I saw in the puddle before. I must not leave the den again. My pups will die without me. Angel thought a little confused. Besides, they need her milk or they will be hungry. Speaking of hungry she was hungry herself. Her mate was not here. The mate usually left the den to go fetch meat for the other mate. Angel’s mate said he would be back after he went to go see his friend Chace. But then the storm came and she had no Choice but to leave. How am I going to get food? I can't leave my pups again.I will be starving. Humm... maybe there might be some animals maybe rats in the deeper reses of the den. As she moved slowly into the deeper parts of the den dragging her pups with her. it was colder but she could deal with it. It got deeper and deeper the cave became smaller and smaller. As she went deeper until she got stuck “OH NO!” she said. It took a while to get out but she did it, she was very tedious she did not want to hurt one of her pups. She looked for rats or mice in the cave when she was going into the deeper recesses. She had found quite a few mice burros, she stayed completely still she listened ¨got ya little rat¨ she stayed quiet. she ate the mouse nearly as quiet as her prey, but her prey was loud enough for her to hear it. And then she heard pawsteps, they were big and very loud she smelt blood not the rat blood, Richter blood from a bigger animal. she was quite startled when she heard them. she couldn't cover up her scent there was nothing she could do in the dark cave. Covered in the scent of new birth and milk. His pawsteps were coming closer and closer the smell of this animal suddenly turned rotten. The smell was so hideous she thought she was almost gonna heave. She almost gave herself away by gagging. She saw a big shadowy wolf in the distance. It looked as if he as was holding a gazelle. She heard about these animals from his uncle all the characteristics fit. that's funny gazelles don't live in California her uncle told her it was a shame that they lived so far away because they tasted so good. His words now coming back to her like a hazy dream she got a glimpse of his face. Ugly cold and hideous wore the words for him. he had a scar from the top of his eye to his neck. He put the gazel down. And sniffed the air, he walked toward her. He was so close to her she thought his disgusting gnarled nose was going to touch her. She could smell the foul stench of his breath how has he not seen me? Another flash of light started gleaming on his face when he turned around to eat he laid down to eat. His eyes were milky brown. What! Is he blind did he catch her scent again? Was he going to kill her if he figured out she was there? did he know she was there? So many questions raced through her head. She was too scared to move, scared he would tear her to shreds if he knew she was there. The wolf got up again, sniffed the air than walked out of the cave. As he walked out he tripped and Angel heard a very loud pop. and the savage wolf fell to the ground with a yelp of pain. She stared in disbelief. When she saw a puddle of blood around the wolf's head. Angel started to panic she did not know what to do. The wolf still whimpered she slowly got up and looked at the wolf. She looked at his leg, a bone splintered out of his shin. He looked right at her she knew he couldn't see her. Then she heard a raspy voice come out of his muzzle. “ help me” than the savage wolf shut his eyes. Has he died? Angel thought. But then she heard the raspy voice again. “Get help” it said “I can't she replied I need to help my pups she said desperately ”. “ Howl” the wolf demanded. She was startled by his domination in his voice almost overpowering. At least i'm not lying on the ground with a wound from tripping… wait what did he trip on it has to be something very hard hard as steel Angel though. Then she saw something in the blood that made her gasp and back away what she saw made her want to yarp!
