Forever Young~
Chapter 3
"You will never be unable to do anything, young one." the white she wolf said. "Age is a number. You will never be truly old if you are young at heart. Remember that,Kaeleen." The gray little wolf pup glanced at her mother out of the corner of her eye, her head still down. " I will always be here for you. Even when im gone. You dont have to worry about my dieing just yet." The white wolf chuckled. "Your grandmother is old. Very old. But you dont see her lieing around while the pack hunts do you?" The gray pup looked up at her mother.
"N-no. Will you be like that too mother?" Kaeleen questioned.
"I am hoping so." she smiled and looked down at her pup with a soft smile."Don't worry about it."
Her mothers face started to blurr, her words, faded. "Mother!! kaeleen grumbled. She began to kick her hind legs as her mothers face disappeared. Her head shot up and she gasped, and looked to her left, to find her mother snoring rather loudly by her side. She sighed and nudged her nearly unconcious mother. Her mother emitted one last monstrous snore, almost like a grunt, before stopping, and it turned into a soft breathing. Kaeleen exhaled and plopped her head back down, and looked at her outstreched paws.
" We will all be forever young, as long as we keep young at heart." she whispered to herself.
All of a sudden, all that troubled her, all responsibility, all worries, were washed away. It felt right to finally say these words. She grinned to herself. " I guess words can mean more than actions." she mumbled, reciting her grandmothers words.
She remembered her soft voice, her kind words, her wisdom. " All old wolves have wisdom right?" she chuckled to herself,thinking this was rather funny. She smiled and curled her body, and fell asleep rather quickly.
Part II of chapter 3:
It seemed as if she'd had a minutes sleep, night passed quite quickly. Her mother was already wide awake, investigating a snake passing through. Jalen was nowhere to be seen that morning, a relief to everyone else. But this made Kaeleen concerned. She had promised to leave her, but her sister was always dear to her, even if Kaeleen was not so important to Jalen. Kaeleen slipped away, un-noticed, and set off to find Jalen. No sooner then she had set off, she had found a path of dug dirt, Jalens habit. As a pup, Jalens back feet had always been rather large and somewhat dis-functional, so her hind feet sometimes dragged slightly, leaving a path of dug up dirt. Her hind feet had also made her useful, and in her own time, she liked to dig large tunnels with her back feet, even due to her problem, Jalen always had the best functional and useful back feet than any adult wolf. Her hind quarters also appeared larger, because of the muscle built up from her digging. Kaeleen followed this path until she found its end, a large cavern , made from large animal feet. She grinned, tilted her head and crouched into it. A large pair of angry eyes glistened, and a large figure lept out. The large cougar tilted its head up and roared, it thundered the sky. it crouched and snarled, and Kaeleen gasped, and bolted away. The cougar followed, fumbling after with its huge feet. A large black muscled wolf emerged out of the brush and lept out in front of Kaeleen. It snarled and looked at Kaeleen with soft eyes. The scar on its cheek was scabbed and a trail of dried blood traced down its cheek bone. it shook its head and looked back at the cougar. The cougar laughed and eventually spoke, " What a cute pair. Well, your attempt to save your frail mate will fail. My cubs will not become a meal to you two imbeciles." it growled. "WE are not cute, and i am not... her... MATE!" the familiar voice screamed. The cougar and the wolf lunged at each other, thrashing and sratching at eachothers neck. The wolf grasped the cougars neck and bit down. The 'squish' sound made Kaellen feel sick. Blood squirted and Kaeleen couldn't tell who took the hit, blood splattered all over both of them. Before Jalen made the final blow, the cougar grasped the wolfs leg and bit down. The wolf grunted in pain, teeth still clenched on the cougars neck, and threw it down. The cougar thrashed and grunted on the ground, then eventually stopped. The cougars eyes looked upon Kaeleens face, like a kit.
Kaeleen felt sorrow for the cougar. The cubs emerged out of the hole and mewed. They waddled up to their mother. The first cub nuzzled her mothers cheek, and lay under her paw. The three cubs started to whimper and eventually cry. The mother gave them all one last nuzzle, before her body shut down completely.
Kaeleens mouth dropped, and she drooped both ears. She stuttered and looked at the black wolf. She snarled and rolled the wolf over, and saw its face.
"Hey.. I saved your life. You should be grateful... alpha..." it snarled.
" Is THAT what this is about!? Is THIS why you saved me!? So YOU could get to mother and become alpha!? JALEN!" she roared. Jalen cringed and looked away,with a guilty look on her face. Kaeleens face softened. Jalen, y-your face...." she whimpered. Jalen looked back, and sulked.
Kaeleen sighed."We have to get you back home." A even larger cougar than the last lept out of the brush and gathered the cubs. The young male growled at the two wolves and lept away.
