A small dark gray wolf pup whimpered curled underneath an old pine. The old tree working some to keep the rain from drenching her. Moving her nose slightly something odd stuck out. There across the bridge of her muzzle a slash of bright blue fur. Sniffing she rubbed a paw cross her closed eyes. Tear streaks slightly matting the fur near there.
Hearing the sound of a twig snapping her head lifted eyes opening wide to reveal pools of blue swirled with gold. Looking around rapidly she slowly rose onto shaky legs. Trying desperately to find the source of the noise. Her eyes finally stopping on a small clearing in the thick underbrush.
A small gurgled growl escaped her throat as she bore her teeth. Slowly as if one with the developing mist an adult wolf emerged. Its coat black as coal with the exception of its front legs. They were while like fresh fallen snow. Its eyes on first glance seemed to be void of all color. Looking closely though one could see the slightest hint of gray in the milky depths.
“What is such a small pup doing so far out in the forest all on its own?” The wolf asked. The voice while soothing was obviously male. The tone helping the pup to start relaxing.
“I gots a lost,” she explained, “No one plays with me and the sitters gets a made so I go play on own.” Her voice while thick from crying held no hint of fear.
Frowning hearing this the adult slowly walked over to her. Once he was where she was he laid down curling around the pup. Keeping the cooling summer wind from getting to her slightly wet fur. Her body going stiff as she looked up at him with wide eyes.
“Shh don’t be afraid I won’t hurt you my name is Tosca what’s yours little one?” the now named Tosca asked her.
“My name is Alexis,” the now named Alexis answered, “Why you being nice?” Her question making Tosca chuckle while nudging her to relax.
“Because I think a pup out her alone is wrong,” He explained, “I’ll stay here watching until someone from your pack finds you.”
“Doubts they looking I trouble maker,” Alexis grumbled while slowly laying down, “That’s a why no one likes me.”
“That’s not true I do you are a special pup,” Tosca said, “And I am sure they are looking it’s just the rain is slowing down the search, now sleep.”
Alexis looked at Tosca not fully believing him but her eyes were slowly closing. Not enough energy left in her little body to stay awake let alone keep the conversation going.
Tosca smiled down at her before settling himself to watch over her. Just as the rain was letting up he started to growl. Low enough for the wispy shape in the dark to hear but not enough to wake Alexis. The shape lingered for a moment before slowly fading into the underbrush with a low laugh.
An hour later Tosca looked up again hearing the sound of running along with sharp barks. It seemed to be little Alexis’s pack was closing it. Standing he nudged the pup to wake her. Laughing when her yawn ended with a slight squeak.
“Time for me to go little one your pack is nearly here,” Tosca told her, “Next time you are alone call I will always be here for you.” After saying this and making sure she would be alright for a few minutes he took off. Seeming to melt into the underbrush.
Alexis sat still looking towards the barking when the pack rushed into view. Two females running up to make sure she was uninjured.
“What were you thinking being out here alone,” One asked her, “You could have been hurt of worse!” Alexis whimpered but let them fuss
“But I wasn’t lone had sitter,” Alexis told the pair. The male accompanying them huffed out a sharp laugh.
“Pup your send is the only one here aside from ours now you must have dreamt up this sitter,” He scolded.
Alexis went to snap back he was wrong but stopped. If they didn’t want to believe her fine. Tosca would be her friend only. She didn’t believe the male she had smelt Tosca’s sent, felt his fur, heard his voice. He was real she was sure of it.
As they lead her away Alexis decided to look over her shoulder. What she saw make her ragged chewed on tail wag rapidly. Just in view was Tosca. He was real. He was waving his bye to her. Turning back around she moved faster to keep up with the adults. A large smile on her muzzle.
((Based on an old RP I did with a couple friends in HS. Alexis belongs to me, might put a picture of her up here. Tosca belongs to my friend she can be found at http://inkspillsandponyfeathers.tumblr.com/ though she says Tosca is abandoned she is still his mommy!))
