This story is my roleplay wolf's (Twilight's) past. I use her on a bunch of different sites, but for some reason not here... <.< Anyways, I hope you enjoy it. ^^ I've finished three chapters so far, I'm working on the rest. ^^ Gah, I can only post one chapter at a time, so you'll have to wait for the others. xD



Some things don’t go the way they’re supposed to. Some things do. It’s just a matter of who gets what and what they do with it. Sometimes you can’t really help it when something goes wrong. It just does. Sometimes it just seems things were destined to go wrong and there’s nothing you can do about it. Me? Yeah, things didn’t go so well for me in the beginning. You want to know what happened? Well, then… where to begin…



I stepped out into the light for the first time. Everything was so bright. All of the colors of the outside world came flooding to me and it felt like my eyes would go blind from it all. I looked up at my mother questioningly. She only smiled and nodded her encouragement. She turned and walked to a nearby rock. It was flat on top aside from the dark gray wolf lying atop it. My mother cantered over to him and lay down beside him. He licked her ear once and continued watching me with an amused expression on his face. That was my father. He’s the alpha, or the leader of my pack. I learned that from mama a couple of days ago when he stopped by for a visit.
My ice blue eyes searched the ground in front of me. There was no grass on it; only brown earth. I pressed a paw into it, but it didn’t move. I looked up and saw other wolves sitting nearby, watching me with amusement. I didn’t like it. I turned and was going to head back into my den but my other two siblings had joined me. They, too, appeared to be amazed by our surroundings. I felt better with them beside me, so we all took off together, exploring every tree and poking our noses into every crack and crevasse. All the while feeling the eyes of the other wolves on us.
My sister, Ani, squeaked with surprise as something popped out of the crack in the rock she was looking into. A small brown form dashed out of the crack and made a break for the trees. Ani sat and stared after it for a moment, then her green eyes looked up to the other wolves questioningly. “What was that?” she asked, her voice small.
“It was a mouse,” one of the pack mates said, clearly amused. “Don’t worry, it won’t hurt you.”
Ani’s eyes enlarged. “A mouse,” she repeated, as if confirming herself.
My brother, Kino, stood watching where the mouse left through the trees. A small bird hopped out of the bushes. Kino barked at it and it immediately flew away, chirping in distress.
A few hushed laughs were emitted from the bigger wolves as they watched Kino scare off the bird. His dark gray pelt stood out against the hard ground, while Ani’s blended almost perfectly. His eyes were a deep blue, also inherited from his father.
I knew my white fur stuck out against the ground, but I continued to explore with my siblings at my side.
My ears twitched when a light trickling sound came from nearby. I turned and headed toward the strange sound to find something strange. I poked it with my paw hesitantly and it went right through the surface. I yelped and huddled back as soon as I felt the coldness of the thing.
Again, hushed laughter could be heard nearby. “That’s called water,” someone called out. “It won’t hurt you. Drink some of it.”
I took a step forward hesitantly and stuck my tongue out to lap up some of it. It was cool and felt good against my dried throat. Seeing that the thing wasn’t a threat, by siblings joined me, and they drank some, too.
Once we couldn’t drink anymore of the liquid, we each hesitantly stepped into it. Once we were settled in the cold water, we jumped and played, splashing each other with it. Giggles could be heard from nearby again, but this time we were all having so much fun we didn’t give any thought to them.
I finally stepped out of the water and shook the droplets from my pelt. My siblings followed me, and soon my brother took the lead. He led us to the group of wolves surrounding us. There weren’t that many, two females and one male. The females were the first to greet us. They lowered their heads to get level with us and touched noses with each of us.
These wolves were so big. The only wolves I’ve seen that big were mama and daddy, I didn’t know they were all so big.
“Hey, Twilight,” one of them called to me. “My name’s Uio.”
I looked up to see that the male had joined us.
“Uio?” I repeated. I smiled and made my way over to him. “Your tall!” I exclaimed when I was right in front of him.
Uio laughed. “You’ll be as tall as I am one day, don’t worry.”
“Ani,” one of the females complained. I turned to see that my sister was biting the female’s ear. Well, it was her fault for lowering her head enough for us to reach her. “Ouch,” she complained again.
Ani giggled and released her hold, rolling onto her back.
Kino also had a hold of the female’s ear, but he wasn’t going to let go that easily. He gave out a small growl as he hung on.
“Militia, can you remove your son from me?” she asked, laughing even though it hurt.
My mother stood up and jumped off the rock, heading straight toward us. I knew that look; she was upset. I shrank back under Uio, my ears flat and my tail tucked. Uio didn’t seem to mind.
“Kino, I told you to behave yourself,” she scolded, picking him up by the scruff.
Kino gave a small whimper as she carried him back to the rock where my father was waiting.
My sister and I exchanged a look, but we shrugged and continued socializing with the three wolves. The two females introduced themselves next.
“My name is Rose,” the reddish-brown female said.
“I’m Whisper,” the white female introduced herself.
I remained under Uio for a while longer, then he finally backed up and smiled down at me. He prodded my head with one paw as he said, “Come on, I think it’s time to go to sleep.”
I was about to argue, but when I looked up at the sky it was dark. I looked in wonder for a moment. “What is that?” I asked, looking up at a huge white circle in the sky.
Uio followed my gaze and smiled. “That’s called the moon.”
“Are the other dots moons, too?” I asked.
“No, those are called stars,” he explained.
“Come on,” my mama said, jumping down from the rock yet again. She made her way over to me and Uio backed up. Mama turned me away from him and rounded us all into the den. I was sad to leave my new friend, but I was so tired. Ani and I entered the den before our mother and found Kino already inside.
Ani giggled as she lay down beside him, snuggling up to him. “You got in trouble.”
Kino gave a small growl but didn’t reply. He, too, was obviously tired. I settled on the other side of Kino and our mother curled herself around us. I burrowed into her warm brown fur and she nosed me slightly.
My father was the last to come in. He settled beside my mother for a moment, laying his head atop her’s. “I’m going to lead a hunt tonight,” he said quietly.
“Again?” my mother whispered. It was silent in the den for a moment. Not being able to see, the only thing I could hear was the rhythmatic breathing of Ani and Kino.
“Yes,” my father replied. “Since the pups are coming out of the den now they’re going to start eating meat. If we get some tonight they’ll have some in the morning.”
Mama sighed. “Okay. Come back soon, though, okay?”
“Of course.” He licked her cheek gently for a moment, then disappeared through the entrance of the den.
After I heard my mother settle and fall asleep I finally closed my eyes and started dreaming about all of the things I saw today.

Sorry for the double post, but since no one posted before this one I'mma post the next chapter... seems this story isn't very popular here xD



I awoke to the dim light filtering through my den. I felt my mother’s soft fur behind me, and looked up in her green eyes while her familiar scent flooded my nose. She smiled down at me, and motioned to Ani and Kino who were both curled up next to me.
I sighed. I wouldn’t be able to go outside until they woke up, but just as this thought crossed my mind Ani opened her eyes. She opened her mouth to expose a pink tongue as she let a long yawn escape. I, too, let a yawn out before I got to my paws and shook off my pelt.
Kino grunted when I moved and also got to his paws.
“Good morning,” my mother said, standing up also.
“Good morning, mama,” Ani and I said together.
My mother made her way to the entrance of the den and peered out. She smiled for a brief moment, then glanced back to where we were stumbling up the slope toward her.
“Look at what your father brought,” she said when we looked out with her.
Rose, Whisper, Uio, and my father all stood next to a massive brown hulk on the ground. I moved closer behind my mother, and she only gave a small laugh. “Go up and sniff it,” she said. “It’s called a deer.”
I looked up at her questioningly, but Kino was the first who pushed his way out of the den toward the deer. Ani and I hesitantly followed.
As we neared the deer my tail began to quiver. This thing was huge. It was even bigger than the other wolves. Despite that fact, Kino once again was the first to reach it. He extended his head and sniffed the brown hulk testily. He grinned and looked back at Ani and I. “It smells good!” he exclaimed, walking up next to his father.
I was the next to sniff it. I hesitantly extended my head as Kino did and it in fact did smell good. A grin escaped and I looked back at Ani. She met my glance and tenderly sniffed it.
“It does smell good!” she said, looking up at the other wolves. They all smiled.
My father, also smiling, tore into the brown hulk and dropped a bloody piece in front of us. “Eat some,” he encouraged.
I looked up at him, but, once again, Kino was the first to eat. He didn’t hesitate, tearing into the meat and eating. “This is really good!” he said between bites.
Ani and I both stepped forward and took a bite. It was cold; it had obviously sat out for a while, but tasted fine. We finished it in no time, and all of us were full.
My mother came forward then and stood in front of my father. “Nice job, Shade,” she said. “Where did you find one this big?”
“The other side of the forest,” he answered. “Almost on the plains.”
“Wow, that far?”
“Yes,” he replied, a small sigh in his voice. “Well, it seems the pups are full.”
She glanced back and grinned. “Yep, looks like they enjoyed it.”
She turned to the carcass and tore into the hole that Shade had already made. He joined her, and once they were done Uio, Rose, and Whisper joined them.
Almost all the carcass was gone once everyone had eaten their fill. Everyone dispersed and sprawled out in the shade of the nearby trees.
I made my way to Uio again and lay beside him.
“Hey, squirt,” he said when I’d settled.
“Don’t call me that,” I snapped. I hated when others called me that.
“Sorry, Twilight,” he apologized. “Did you enjoy the deer?”
“Yeah, it was good,” I said, a grin spreading.
Ani joined us, and soon so did Whisper and Kino. Rose was speaking to my parents further away. The scent of deer filled the small clearing, and it seemed Kino became hungry again. He stumbled over to the carcass and picked at what was left of it.
My father suddenly stood up and his eyes stared intently into the trees. His fur was standing on end and his ears were alert. Every muscle in his body was tensed.
My mother, too, stood up, but she appeared not to know what was wrong.
Uio, Rose, and Whisper all stood up and gathered next to the leaders, sensing Shade’s unease.
“Militia,” he whispered. That whisper sounded a lot louder than it was supposed to.
I suddenly realized how deathly quiet it was. There was almost absolutely no sound to be heard. Ani and I huddled close to the adults. Kino, too, was beginning to back away.
“Get the pups and-“
He was cut short when suddenly an enormous black bear burst from the bushes circling the clearing. It roared in agitation when it saw the wolves. It had come for the carcass, lured by the scent.
My father opened his jaws to give orders, but a second bear appeared, stopping beside the first. It reared on its hind legs and let out a deafening roar.
“Run!” Shade shouted, shoving my mother out of the way. She stumbled over Ani and me as she did.
The first bear swiped at the closest wolf, which happened to be Kino. He let out a yelp when its paw hit him, then lay unmoving on the ground after he traveled a good few feet.
Shade gave a fierce howl of rage and flew at the first bear, with Rose, Uio, and Whisper right behind him.
“Come on,” I heard my mother’s voice break into my mind. I turned and ran toward her, leaving Ani frozen in fear. Ani’s wide green eyes stared up at the bears, her mouth gaping.
“Ani!” My mother yelled, after hiding me rather well in a nearby thorn bush.
The second bear, growling and roaring, came barreling toward the small pup. Shock seized my body. I couldn’t move. The sight of the massive animal charging her must have registered somewhere in Ani’s mind, and she snapped out of her trance. She turned tail and ran back to join me in the thorn bush, ignoring how they snagged at her pelt.
My mother stood before the bear. Her green eyes were filled with tears of rage and her fur was on end. I think I heard my father shout something to her, but my eyes were locked on the scene before me.
I heard a loud yelp as Whisper was smashed into a tree. Rose was next, getting clawed in the face. She flew from the bear and eventually lay at a standstill nearby where I was hidden.
My mother gave a single howl of rage and flung herself at the bear that had come after Ani. She clung to its black pelt with her fangs, ripping from side to side. The bear gave a loud roar and fell backward on it’s back. Which is where my mother was. I heard a sickening crack that made my stomach turn when the bear hit the ground with my mother under it. The beast grunted and got to its paws, shaking off its pelt as if it had just woken up. My mother’s bloodied body lay beside it, her mouth hanging open and her eyes wide as if she couldn’t believe what had just happened.
The two remaining wolves had no chance. The bear that had killed my mother stumbled across the ground to help out its friend. It swiped a huge clawed paw across Uio’s body, sending him across the clearing only to come to a rest beside Rose’s body.
“Twilight, come on!” I heard Ani’s frantic voice beside me.
I hadn’t realized I was holding my breath until then. My lungs ached when I finally gave them oxygen. My body was trembling and I saw the reflection of my eyes in her own terrified ones.
Ani turned and ran for it, tripping over her own paws in the process. I followed, running away from the bloody clearing that I once called home. It was the farthest thing from home now.
We traveled in silence until a last strained howl of unimaginable agony rang out through the trees and rattled in my ears. It was followed my two roars of triumph. I tripped and didn’t get up, sobbing into the earth. The call was my father’s last agonizing howl. Ani fell down beside me, sobbing into my fur.
We were far enough away from the clearing for the bears to follow us. Even if we weren’t I don’t think either of us could have moved. We curled up together and sobbed the rest of the day, waiting for someone to come back to us and cuddle with us and tell us everything would be all right. No one came.

Who says its not popular? mabe noone wants to clutter this topic...

Lol, true true. Comment all ya want, though, I need opinions. ;D And, since now I have an opening, I'll post the third chapter! =D This one's short, I know... I'm working on the fourth chapter now. ^^



I awoke the next morning to see the sun high above me in the sky. I’d slept in pretty long. I glanced at my side and saw my sister still asleep, clinging to my fur with her eyes still damp. I blinked my eyes once to find they, too, were still wet, and the memories from yesterday hit my like a tidal wave, drowning me in grief and sadness. Tears formed in my eyes and some managed to find their way out, but I got to my paws, waking Ani in the process. Once her green eyes found me she broke into tears once again, sinking down into the earth with soundless sobs. My shoulders drooped and I wanted to join her, but I knew we wouldn’t live long at all like this if we stayed here all day crying together.
“Come on, Ani, we have to go,” I said, my voice sounding small and hoarse.
“Mama and daddy,” she cried, more sobs seizing her body.
“I know.” More tears came with those words, recalling my father’s last agonizing howl.
“And Uio and Rose and Whisper,” she continued.
“I know,” I repeated. “But we have to go.” I didn’t want to, but something told me we had to. I didn’t even know what to do out here; neither of us knew how to hunt. We’d only just eaten meat; we had no idea how to catch it.
“Kino,” she cried again.
At his name I nearly broke down and joined her. Tears flooded out of my eyes, but I forced myself to remain standing. I growled and bit her ear, not enough to draw blood, but enough to get her attention. She looked up with wet eyes, and when she saw me she stopped. She stood up, a few tears trickling out, and looked at me. “What are we going to do?” she asked, her voice also hoarse.
“I don’t know,” I admitted, looking away. “What if those bears come after us?”
Ani’s eyes grew wide. “We have to go,” she said, and ran off towards the closest bushes. I followed quickly, a new fear rising in me. We sniffled and tripped here and there on our way, but we somehow almost made it to the open plains where daddy said he’d caught the deer.
My eyes widened as I stared at the open land. I had no idea what to do now. “It’s huge,” I said, still staring.
“Yeah,” Ani breathed beside me. “What now?”
I opened my mouth to speak again, but a cold drop of water hit my nose. I glanced around and saw that it was raining, growing steadier by the moment. The sky, shrouded in gray clouds, was crying just like we were.
The rain grew steadier. We needed somewhere to stay. I turned and ran, with Ani right beside me. A blinding flash of light shone nearby, followed by a deafening explosion. “What was that?” I yelled, stopping. There was no response.
Ani was gone.
My eyes widened and I glanced in every direction. I couldn’t see much through the merciless downpour, but it was enough to see that Ani wasn’t beside me anymore.
“Ani!” I yelled, terrified of losing her in this. There was no reply besides the sound of the explosions sounding everywhere nearby.
I ran off in the direction I thought she was. “Ani!” I called, but it seemed every time I called for her the explosions cut me off. “Ani!” I yelled again, rushing through the soaked forest, terrified and panting hard. My small legs pushed me as fast as they could go, but it wasn’t fast enough. “Ani!” I called again, but another explosion cut me off. My heart, that was already broken, shattered to pieces then. I couldn’t find her. What if the bears got to her? What if the explosions hit her? Terrible thought crossed my mind, but I pushed through the storm, desperate to find her. She was the only family member I had left; there was no way I could lose her.
But it seemed I wouldn’t be able to find her. And she wasn’t coming back.
I closed my eyes against the invisible tears welling up inside my eyes again. Just as I did this something hard hit my shoulder. Being caught off guard, I was knocked to the ground with the impact, but when I opened my eyes a small spark of hope fluttered in my shattered heart. I’d hit a tree stump, but inside that stump was a tiny hole, big enough for me to squeeze through. I ran over to it and squeezed in, almost getting stuck in the process. Inside it was a bit bigger, and if I cramped myself together tightly into a ball I’d be able to sleep. I peered out of the hole and saw nothing but the never-ending rainstorm. No Ani. No mama and daddy. No one. I was truly alone now. I tightened into a small ball and buried my head in my white fur, sobbing again just as I had yesterday. Only this time Ani wasn’t here to share my sorrow.

I love this story.It is absolutley magnificent.
