The forest air was crispy. The trees are green full of birds and predators who ate them. On the ground was no better. Rabbits was eaten by anything with teeth and the stomach to hold it. The insects would even be consider as prey. Yes it is a place where life id taken in order to fuel another.
Still it is a place where life is given. Our story begins in a bush. A squeaking sound of a crying new born infant can he heard. This infant was a man pup. She had the ears of a wolf and the tail of one to. No teeth at all. There she lay with nothing but an adult male long sleeve shirt with a hoodie on her.
In these woods are many dangers. Humans are forbid to tread there. Also it's far too dangerous to tread there. So because of these dangers wolves tend to be happy and run free. The only thing to worry about is each other. A dire wolf goes on Patrol. This dire wolf wasn't dark or evil. No he was strict and calculate. So would say he had no emotion. Still there was more to him then he knew. His name was Prowl. An adult wolf. Optimus Prime child hood friend and third in command.
As Prowl was on his patrol he hears a mewing sound in the distance. "Hhmm?" He stops with his ears up to get a good pin point on where the sound was coming from. "Where is that sound coming from?" He follows his noise to the large green bushes and then sniff. The sound become louder that sound like crying. He push his head thru the bushes at the whaling infant.
"Oh boy." Prowl spoke with his ears back and tail between his legs. "A man pup? Here in the wood?" He look around and couldn't find the scent of any humans. "What if there more? How did you get here?" Then the scent of blood hit his nostrils. He walk up more till he gotten to a huge tree. There at the bottom of the tree was vultures picking and tarring at two dead corps of male humans. "There dead!" Prowl then hurry back to the man pup. "What to do with you?" the man pup put her hands up to reach for prowl. "I should kill you….Make quick work of you…" As he brought his jaw to the infants neck and to deliver the bite. He close his eyes. "This is for the best."
"WHAAHHAHASEQQQUUEESCKKK!" The baby let out loud squeak and laugh. This alarm prowl as he step back in surprise.
"hehe." He chuckle. "You really are cute. Still humans are a danger to us. I can't take care of you." Prowl spoke and then began to walk off. As he did this the pup cries only became louder. Each step Prowl took trying to go away from the man pup, only became harder.
"WWWWWWHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAA!" The man pup cries in distress.
Prowl growls and walks over to the man pup. "FINE! I WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU! DO NOT THINK THIS DON'T MAKE ME ANGRY!" Prowl use the overly large shirt to wrap her up and carry her away. "Snarl! I need to hide you or Ratchet will have my fur."
"Squeak!" The man pup went.
"Ugh! Ratchet will have my fur for sure." Prowl then walks off with the man pup in tow. In the Auto pack everyone was working. While others took naps and others play. Optimus was talking to Ratchet and Ironhide about the hunt. Sunstreak and Sideswipe was both eating. Bumble bee was playing with Jazz biting on his ear. Hound was sleeping in his den quietly. "Good no one will see me go into my den." Prowl den was close but far enough if he didn't move fast enough someone would see. He need to be fast. It was day and the pack was active. This would take skill.
"Mew?" The man pup went.
"Quiet! Or I will put you to sleep." Prowl snarls at her.
Prowl then moves quickly into his den. "It is a good thing you were quiet." Prowl spoke as he lay down. "Someone could have saw us." Prowl then lay down and lay the man pup in his arms. He sniff the man pup to find that she was a female. "You're a girl. Hhmm…." He sniff again. "Also you are just too young for meat. Sigh. You will die." He look down at the man pup and cuddle her as she slowly went to sleep in his paws. "I'm so sorry. I can't save you."
Later that night the pack slept. As the pack sleeps Prowl climbs out of his den and looks around. He walks over to Hounds den and walks in on the sleeping male. "Hound…Hound…" He spoke in a whisper. The green dire wolf awoken and look up at prowl lethargic. "Come to my den and be quick about it!"
In Prowls den Hound was freaking out and Prowl was trying to quiet him. "Prowl you should take her back!" Hound spoke with his ears back. "One we can't give her milk! Two Ironhide and Ratchet will have your fur! You should put her back before they find out!"
"I can't…. Please try to understand Hound I just cant." Prowl spoke as the man pup sleep in the cloth. "I found her alone in a bush. All alone with Two dead humans under an oak tree being eaten by the vultures. I don't think more humans will be coming for her. No not at all."
"So why did you bring me here?" Hound ask him in confusion. "What do you think I can do?"
"I think she can still drink milk. You know of the jackals they mate for life. So they have pups almost always correct?" Prowl ask him with his ears up. "I'm not so good with them."
"Yes I'm better with them then you. That only because you all don't know how to be a bit nicer to the other forest predators." Hound spoke. "They might be more willing to nurse the man pup if I'm asking." Hound then sniff the man pup a few times. "It might take a while for her to be whined off milk. Hell. Who know how long it will take for her."
"Thanks Hound." Prowl spoke with a smile. Hound pick the man pup up and proceed to walk out the den. Prowl follow behind him. "So if you are going to keep this man pup. Then at some point the pack is going to know about her. Also most if the pack had bad experience with man."
"I know but i think her also a victim of man hound." Prowl spoke with his ears back. "Look at her no way she like all the other humans. We need to help her. As for them finding out we will cross that bridge when we get to it."
Hound and Prowl made their way to the jackal territory on the outskirts of the territory. "Alright were here." Hound spoke and put down the man pup. "You two stay out here while i ask."
Prowl coo the man pup to himself as she slowly awoken and began to make noise. "Wheeeeeee!" The man pup went and prowl smile down at her.
"You're so cute even if your kind may be monsters. i just hope Hound convince them otherwise." Prowl spoke as he licks the man pups head. "Otherwise i won't be able to help you."
"No Hound! A million times no! "The female jackal spoke with a growl as her two pups feed. "Were friends Hound but this time you ask for too much. You should snap her neck and kill one more Monster! "
"Please Rama! I never ask a single thing from you. Also i nor my pack ever attack you or your pups for territory." Hound plead with her. "All i ask is that you allow her to feed till she need no more milk. Look i know the year has been hard for your family so i will bring you more food so that you and your pups don't go hungry."
"So i will only get this extra helping of food till your pup's take all my milk and my pups starve!" Rama snarl with her ears back. "Even if i do produce enough Milk for my pups and your little monster, it still will be hard for me to hunt and get food!"
"I will give you more than enough food and extra if you agree to let our man pup nurse." Hound spoke to her with his ears back.
Rama growl and then snarl. "Fine. Bring the little monster inside my den." Rama spoke to him. "As soon as she is able to eat meat then i want nothing to do with her."
"Thank you a Rama for your kindness." Hound spoke and walk out the den. He saw Prowl laying down with the man pup between his paws. "Prowl." Hound spoke with a smile as his approach his friend. "She has agree to be a wet nurse for us. In exchange for more food."
"Good." Prowl spoke as hound pick up the man pup. "I will bring her food in the morning." Hound nods his head and walks in the den.
As Hound walks in the den Rama looks at the man pup with confusion. "I never seen a human with a tail or with wolf like ears." Hound put down the man pup and she finds her way to Rama stomach.
"Me and Prowl believed that she is in fact abandoned." Hound spoke. "Your first payment of food will be in the morning. " Hound spoke and Rama nod her head. Hound walk outside the den. Prowl was watching hound walk up to him. "She has agree to nurse her. That still leave the issue of when she is older. What will she eat then and what of the pact. You know how everyone feel about humans."
"I know Hound we will cross that bridge when we get there." Prowl spoke to him and the two walk back to their territory.
Four months later the man pup has gotten bigger. Prowl would spend every night with her when his pack was sleep. Also as promised Rama would have more than enough food for herself. During this time Prowl became more then close to her. He bath her no matter how much she fight it. He play with her and found out she was ticklish. He also found out she loved to laugh. Still time was winding down.
He need to find a different food source for her and his answer came in the dead of night. Rama was sleep with her pups.
