Shena laid there watching her daughter chase butterflies and her own tail. She thought it was so funny when she would chase her tail till she got so dizzy she fell over. Shena hadn't slept well the night before and was quite exhausted. Her daughter, Akira, was getting a little to far away for Shena's comfort.
"Don't wander off to far." Shena warned.
"Okay Mama." Akira replied.
Shena's tiredness began to take over her body. She didn't know how long she was asleep, but she did know she heard her daughter yelp. She quickly rose to her feet and followed Akira's scent which lingered in the air.
"You little runt, you trying to be a thief?"
"No, I just wanted…" she was interrupted by her mother's ferocious snarl. Her mother was now standing over her about to attack the silver wolf that had caused the pup to yelp.
"What did u do?!" she growled.
"Your daughter is a thief." he growled back.
"I came to see if you wanted to play is all." Akira defended.
"Yea right you little runt, you wanted food because you have a horrible mother who doesn't feed you."
The comment of the silver wolf sent Shena lunging towards him. Taking him by his muzzle she threw him onto his stomach. Pinning him to the ground, her teeth clenched his throat. He had let out a yelp in the process of getting flipped onto his back.
"Tsume, what's wrong?!" yelled another wolf coming into the clearing, followed by two other wolves.
Shena glanced over at them, but she didn't remove her teeth from the one called Tsume's throat. The three wolves stared in awe at what the she-wolf had done. Her ears twitched and she quickly let go of Tsume's throat. Dashing over to her daughter she put on her human illusion.
She had waist length black hair and blue eyes, her pink top exposing her tanned skin. Black jeans gripped to her curves, as her black lace jacket flowed down her side. She wore a collar that had Shena carved onto a golden pendent. She also wore a brown leather bracelet on her left wrist and on her right wrist was eight very thin bracelets linked together by a tiny black cross. Akira stayed as a wolf, sitting by her mother's side.
"What the?" Tsume questioned. He and the other three wolves then heard leaves and twigs cracking, all three putting forth their human illusions. Shena glared in the direction of the hunters that had come into the clearing. A low growl rising in her throat.
Spotting what they thought to be a dog next to Shena they seemed to relax. Walking towards the now invisible wolves they lowered there guns. One of the men came close enough to see that the so called dog was actually a wolf. He quickly raised his gun as the other two did the same
"Give the wolf to us." one of them commanded. Shena just stroked Akira staring at them with devilish eyes. They all pointed their guns at Shena and Akira, ready to take their lives.
"Are you going to give it to us or die?"
"I'm sorry, did you say something?" she said cockily, the devilish eyes still glaring towards them.
"You bitch!" one of them shot their gun and missed her.
"Your aim sucks." she commented.
"Shut up! Who asked you?!"
"Shoot her now!" all the guns went off. The male wolves escaped and were peeking through the bushes. The she-wolf disappeared and the gunfire ceased. When they saw no one was left in the clearing they exited the way they came. Grumbles and mumbles being heard as they left.
"Mama, you're bleeding." Akira whispered.
"I'm fine." she shifted out of her allusion and walked towards the smell of deer, coming upon them grazing. A buck guarded the doe and fawns. Shena quietly stalked the buck and lunged for his throat. Locking her jaw it quickly died thanks to its violent thrashing in her grasp. The male wolves stared in awe at the she-wolf, bringing down a full grown buck in one blow, by herself, injured from the fire from the hunters.
"Yay, Mama did it!" Akira barked coming towards her mother.
"How, I do not know." Tsume commented coming into the clearing as well as the other three.
"What do you want?" she snarled.
"Weird colorings you got there." he said looking at her. She was all black except for a red ear and a white ear.
"How did you do that?" the red wolf asked in shock.
"You learn to take down things on your own. Especially when you travel by yourself." she tore of a leg and tossed it to Akira.
The brown wolf began drooling as the smell of the kill. Shena took quick notice to this fact.
"You all can have some, if you want."
The brown wolf took off towards it and dug his fangs into the deer's thigh. The silver and white wolf ate without much hesitation. The red wolf was still a bit timid and didn't go near the deer. Shena ripped off pieces and laid them in front of him, then turning she went and lay under the shade of the trees. Watching Akira drag the leg everywhere, giggling from time to time.
"So what's your name?" Tsume asked Shena.
"I'm Shena. My daughter's name is Akira."
