Chapter 1

Living with nothing to live with

"Tia!" growled a Black brute. "Get off of my tail or I will bite yours off!"

A small brown female pup got up and ran to the front of the large brute. "Sorry Kino, I thought your tail was a branch." She apologized. "It's so dark in here. When are we going to move to a brighter place?" she asked.

"As soon as your father decides too." He growled. "Now, let me get to sleep with out you on my tail."

A little disappointed Tia moved to another den to sleep. Another growl was herd by the tiny pup. "What did I do?" she asked.

"This is a birthing den and I don't think you're in birth." A Brown fae growled.

"Sorry Sofia, I was just trying to find a nice place to sleep." She fattened her ears against her head, to show her sister the respect she wanted.

"Well, go someplace else!" Sofia jumped up and snapped at her little sister.

Tia didn't stick around. She raced outside to avoid being beaten by her older sister. Why is everyone mean to me? She asked herself. I do everything right. She turned to her right to find another den. She sniffed before she entered, no one was in there. "Finally." She whispered." I can sleep without someone growling at me."

"Wrong!" Another growl arose from the throat of a large grey brute.

"Father!" Tia perked up her eyes, but then quickly flattened her ears remembering her place in the pack. "Sorry, I will move again." She didn't even bother waiting for his answer. When she arose from the den she looked around for another den to sleep in. That was the last one. Tia whined. She wasn't aloud with her mom since her mom was expecting another litter. She was the only pup in the latest litter so no one let her sleep with them. Tia looked up at the sky, her life was so miserable. No one ever let her sleep in the same den with them, or eat till all the food was gone. Everyone hated her. She didn't know what she did to make them so angry. She glanced up at the sky and stared at the stars. The stars didn't hate her. They couldn't. They couldn't do anything. Yet they always seemed to talk to her. They whispered that she shouldn't take this treatment. She should go away from here and never look back. She always said no. It wasn't worth it. Leaving her family for the sake of being treated right, No, it just wasn't worth it. She sighed. Then padded over to a tree to sleep. She curled up and began to drift into a sleep.

She started to thrash and kick. She was dreaming. She was in a field and the stars came down to her circling to form a wolf. A Pure silver wolf. Tia looked at the strange wolf and began to shrink away, and show respect for her. "No, Tia, No." The wolf Scolded. "You shouldn't do that to me. I should do that to you."

Tia looked up in confusion. "Me?" she asked unsure of what to do. "Why?"

"Tia you shall be great! Greater than you father! You shall rule, but to do so you must leave! Go far away. Away to a place where you can relax and learn. Go to the Humans Tia! The Humans will help!!!!" The stars that made the silver wolf began to blow with the wind and the wolf soon disappeared with the wind.

"No!" Tia called out for the wolf. "Don't leave!"

Tia shot up. Someone was kicking her. "What!" she growled. Then she realized who it was and put her tail in between her legs and bowed her head. "Sorry."

Her father was there looking at her with his piercing green eyes. He nodded and took off with the other hunters to leave. Then turned his head. "Don't sleep out side again." He ordered.

She nodded and thought. I will just make me a den. She dug into the earth by the tree she slept by last night. Then her dream came into her head. "Go far away! Away to a place where you can relax and learned." The dream rattled her head. "Go to the Humans! The Humans will help!!" Tia shook her head. There was No reason to leave. Her family was all that mattered. Why should she leave? Why would she leave? The dream came back to her. The silver the wolf, the stars, the ghostly wind. Maybe, I should. Maybe, just maybe, I should. She thought. She narrowed her eyes and began to dig harder. Her family might not know it yet, but they will need her, they need everyone.

Her den was quite big for a pup her size and it took most of the day to build, but she did it. Something good. She lied down. Then jumped up at the sound of footsteps outside. She emerged from the den to see nothing. She fattened her ears they are normally back by now. Maybe they just are taking a long hunt. She thought hopefully but deep inside her she knew that they had left her. For good.

She waited right inside her den, waiting for them to come back, watching for them. All her senses were alert. Her ears perked up, her nose flaring, her eyes wide open.

The moon was high in sky by the time she gave up. They weren't coming back for her. They left her. For no reason. She looked up at the stars for help, but her shiny little friends were covered up by thick heavy rain clouds. She got up and sluggishly walked into the center of the system of dens. She pointed her muzzle towards the sky and began to howl, she was too young to howl, but she wanted to try. She made an O with her lips and began to have the little puppy howl, not the best, but it will do. Suddenly it began to rain, downpour, and then lightening. She shrank away and whipped into her den that she made earlier that day and sleep.

So, the Adventure begins….
