"Be prepared to pounce!" Exlaimed GreyShine, BrokenCurse's father. The two, father and daughter, were practicing hunting. "Make sure you keep low" whispered GreyShine. A small rabbit was in their sights. BrokenCurse focused. She slowly edged closer toward the unsuspecting rabbit. 'The long grass is a great cloaking device' thought BrokenCurse happily. "Take your time, Broken" GreyShine whispered again. "I know, father!" She whispered angrily. She didn't like being told what to do. So, she darted out of the bushes, locked on to the rabbit. The rabbit was caught out by surprise, and before it could make a move, BrokenCurse had her small but strong jaws around its neck.
"Well done!" Laughed GreyShine, as BrokenCurse walked proudly back with her first kill. "I'm sure you'll do even better in the moonlight." BrokenCurse blushed, even though it was hard to tell under all her black fur. She dropped the rabbit on the floor and began tearing chunks out of it. For a puppy, she had a big bite! She ate the small rabbit within minutes, and after her satisfying meal, she jumped at her father, and together, they rolled around playing on the floor.
The sun began to set, and the two looked out into the slowly sinking ball of light from their cliff. "Isn't it pretty" Said GreyShine quietly. "Yes, it is" Replied BrokenCurse. They both began staring quietly at the sun set again. "Father," Began BrokenCurse. GreyShine looked at her. "Yes?" He replied. "I raise the moon" She said distantly. GreyShine was puzzled by her words. BrokenCurse stood up, and began running in a circle. She then jumped a few times, and continued running. Then, she stopped suddenly and howled. After this she flopped down exhausted. GreyShine sat still, wondering what his daughter was doing. He was about to speak when the moon appeared from behind a cloud. It seemed to smile at him. He looked at it in a daze for a short while, then, he glanced at his pup. She was spread out on the dusty floor, sleeping. He smiled, then gently picked her up by the scruff of her neck. She was getting bigger, GreyShine thought to himself.
When he arrived home to SliverFang, he put his sleeping pup down, next to her younger brother. Together, they curled up. GreyShine sat down with his mate SliverFang. "So, how was training?" She asked GreyShine. "It went well. Broken caught her very first rabbit! She learns quickly. I'm guessing she'll be a great fighter, too, in later life" They both glanced to their daughter. "Well, she always was special. She was born a black wolf. She's the colour of the midnight sky! Her eyes are very blue as well…But she's our special little fighter!" SilverFang walked over to her two sleeping puppies. She licked BrokenCurse, and in doing this, BrokenCurse let out a small yip. "Speaking of the moon, she said she could raise it…Then she started dancing. But the strange thing is, the moon appeared and it smiled at me!" Said GreyShine. SilverFang looked at GreyShine, then at her pup. "Strange" She replied. Soon after, the two licked each other good night, and curled up with the pups.
