After training Blade, Midakita sat towards the end of the clearing, and flexed her claws. She rose her black ears to the sound of little paws scampering up behind her. She looked back to see two little pups running over to her. It was Bloodspill and Swiftkill, the two newest pups in the pack. Bloodspill came to a halt right at Mida's paws, and nearly tripped over her own. Both girls sat with a plop, and looked up at Midakita.

"Isn't Riesha supposed to be watching you two?"

"Ya," barked Swiftkill," but we snuck away."

"Why?"

"We were bored, we wanna have some fun."

"Play with us," barked Bloodspill.

"Okay, how about we play tag."

"What's that?"

"I'll be it, and you two have to run, and I try to catch you. If I catch you, you get to be it, and catch me."

"Cool, let's play."

Midakita got up, and let the pups get a head start. They sprinted, and Mida went after them, slowing her pace to make it look as if the pups were faster. She was very close to putting her paws on Swiftkill's back, when she heard,"Midakita, stop this instant!"

She came to halt, dirt flying as she skidded,"what'd I do?"

"You're not to be watching the pups now, Riesha is."

"Well, they snuck away Lady Whitewind, so I was just entertaining them."

"Fine, take them back to the den right away."

"Yes, Lady Whitewind."

Midakita slunk past the pups, and they followed at her tail. When she got back to the den, she saw Riesha trotting around everywhere to find the pups. Swiftkill and Bloodspill ran up behind Riesha and pushed their heads into her side. Riesha let out a yelp of surprise, then laughed. Midakita began walking away, when she noticed her sister, Finayja trotting towards her.

"Hey little sister, how's the over-grown pup doing?"

"You mean Blade right?"

"Der, of course that's who I meant."

"Oh, he's fine."

"Little sister, I have something to tell you."

"What?"

"I know your secret."
