I lost like the next three chaps for one of my stories, Duncan's Karma, so I decided to write this instead. It explains everything that might have been confusing in Dark Hunter/Queen. Even when she was born, the eldest of four sisters, her mother knew she'd be Queen sometime in her lifetime. She was born in the winter months of Northern Sweden, somewhere in the mountains. The first born cub of the first born litter of Serabi and Dachi, rulers of their family and pack. Her fur was the color of choclate, a beautiful, rich brown, with coal gray eyes. Her mother named her after her Great Grandmother: Gwen. Next, came her sister Gina, a cub as black as her sisters eyes and eyes as blue as the sky. Then, Gaby, a blonde cub, with fur the color of gold, and eyes like emeralds. Last, came young Ginger. fur matching her name, and eyes like her oldest sister. Their mother was young, and very nutering. But would kill if her family's lives were threatened. She was a dark, auburn red color, with tints of black in her fur. She had beautiful teal eyes. Their father was strong and brave, with a heart of gold. He was pure white, like a cloud, and eyes like the night sky. Together, they were the perfect parents.
As her and her sisters grew up, they learned all about their family rules:
~Always listen to elders, especially Mother and Daddy, and Grandma and Grandfather.
~Be polite when quests from other packs visit, though it's very rare for visitors to come.
~Don't fall in love. They already have husbands. They will meet them sometime between ages 10-12. And marry at 20. ~And never go alone at night- not even as an adult. You might not come back. At age four, their mother had another litter, though only a little copper colored male. Johnny. Gwen and her sisters were very different. Gwen was interested in cave drawings her father and her found. Ginger loved climbing, and running and swimming. Gaby enjoyed sneeking off with her older cousins to listen to concerts in nearby towns. Gina was a fighter. She could take on her cousin Darrel- who was nearly ten years older- in a fight, and win depending on the circumstances. However, all the sisters loved one thing in common: Aura Borealis. Their Grandma showed it to them on their fifth birthday. They all thought it was beautiful, and the best birthday present ever.
When she was nine, Dachi took his oldest daughter on a hike, showing her the kingdom that would be soon hers.
"But father, I don't want to be Queen." Gwen groaned, riding on her father's back.
Her father chuckled lightly.
"You don't exactly have a choice. You're me and your mother's oldest cub. The oldest will automatically become Queen or King on their 21 birthday. Whether their parents are alive or not." Her father explained.
"How will I not become Queen?" Gwen asked.
"Death. The only way you will not get the throne is by dying before 21." Her father explained.
"Oh." Gwen said.
"Hush. I'm about to get a snack." Dachi whispered, gently bucking her off his back, before creeping into the bushes.
A moment later, Gwen heard a boy cry, and a snarl from her father, quickly followed by the crunch of bones.
Right as she was about to eat with her father, she heard a cry.
"You killed him! You killed my boy!" A gruff voice shouted angrilly.
Gwen gasped, when she heard a gun cock.
Her father quickly came out from the bushes, grabbed her by the scruff of the neck, and took off running fast.
Gwen could see behind them, a large, middle aged man, in a red plaid shirt, gray blue overals, and black hiking boots, carrying a shotgun, charging after them angrilly.
Her father reached a small path between the mountain side and a small cliff.
Her father tripped, losing his grip on his daughter, sending her falling down the snow covered cliff, her head landing on a rock.
Dachi took off without a second glance, thinking his daughter was dead.
The man stopped, looking at Gwen's unmoving body.
He saw the wind blow her dark fur.
He noticed her small, glistening white fangs, barely three inches in length.
Thinking the smaething as Dachi, he mumbled the words "She's dead." and continued after Dachi.
