Leyla's Story Chapter 1
Me: Hey! Sorry it took me so long to update. My USB messed up on me, and that was part of the reason why it took me so long. Well, here's the first chapter. I hope you'll enjoy! I don't own anything, but my OC's.
I let out a soft yawn and slowly opened my eyes to meet the morning glow. At last, a new day is about to begin. It's been five months since our parents' deaths. I still haven't told my brother nor my sister about it. I'll tell them soon enough. Anyway, I got up to stretch my muscles and wake up my twin siblings, who were still sleeping peacefully next to each other. I couldn't help but force a smile on my face. Still smiling, I walked towards them and gently nudged them. Let me tell you, it takes twenty minutes to wake them up. At least, that's what it feels like to me.
Surprisingly, they both woke up and let out tired yawns. Summer beamed at me and said cheerfully, "Morning, Leyla. You look pretty this morning." I smiled wider at the compliment then looked over at my brother, who muttered to his twin sister, "Suck up." That's when I began to chuckle at my sister's angry glare. I shook my head. These two argue a lot, but they love each other anyway. It will take them a while to figure that out. Snapping out of my thoughts, I walked out of the den to find a pinecone to comb Summer's hair and tail.
Once I found one after thirty minutes of looking, I went back to the den and signaled Summer to come over to me. Pinecones, where we live, are pretty scarce. That's why it took me that long. Well, then, I began to comb my sister's hair. It surprises me that her hair is so thin and so easy to comb through. As for me, my hair's pretty thick. Summer snapped me out my train of thought when she asked, "Leyla, can you find a pretty flower to put in my hair?" Nodding after fixing her hair, I went out of the den again and went off to find a flower.
I remembered when my sister, a very long time ago, found a daisy and started giggling in delight. I smiled softly at the memory. I think I'll get a daisy for Summer. That'll probably take her back. Luckily, there are a lot of flowers in our area. This should be easy. I began to carefully walk into the flower y area on the right side of our den.
I began to scan the area for a daisy. Hm, there aren't a lot in here like there used to be. But, that didn't stop me from searching more. After ten minutes of searching, my ears drooped. I failed to find one. That's where I was wrong. Once I turned around, there it was, standing upright and taking in the sun's energy. Smiling, I gently took the white daisy's stem into my jaws and held it. Then, I decided I should get one for myself as well. Not too far from where I found the daisy, stood a red lilly. Those are pretty rare to find in our flower field. Anyway, I carefully tugged at the stem. Once the lilly was in my grasp, I headed back to the den, being careful not to step on the flowers.
Summer smiled as soon as entered the den with the flowers in my mouth. She noticed the daisy and began to squeal happily. "Leyla, you found a daisy! It's so beautiful! I remember my first encounter with one." She smiled. That's kind of ironic. I knew it would take her back to that day. I was glad that she liked the flower I picked for her. I gently placed the red lilly on the earthy ground before placing the daisy in Summer's hair.
She giggled happily then grabbed her tail with her right paw and began to comb through it with her claws. "Thank you, Leyla. You're the best." She said with true appreciation. I nodded in reply. If you're wondering why I don't talk, ever since mother's death, I've been silent as a ghost. I can talk, don't get me wrong. I just don't talk a lot like I used to back then.
After Summer got done brushing her tail, she grabbed the pinecone and signaled me to turn around. I closed my eyes and let my body relax as my sister began to brush my black hair. I love it when she brushes my hair for me. It's relaxing to me. I didn't realize Travis was using his claws to comb my tail. I don't know why they're doing this, but I'm loving the treatment I'm receiving from my younger siblings. That makes me feel good.
After fifteen minutes have gone by, Summer finally finished brushing my hair and Travis was finished combing my tail. I opened my eyes to see Summer pick up the red lilly from the ground. "Where do you want me to put this pretty flower, Sis?" She tried to say with the lilly's stem in her mouth. Finally opening my mouth, I answered, "On the left side of my head." "Are you sure you want it there? Don't you want that flower to move your bang from your right eye?" Summer asked, wanting to make sure before placing it. I nodded. Summer shrugged then placed the red lilly where I told her to place it.
"Leyla," my little sister started, "why do you never expose your other eye?" I stared at her with sadness in my gaze. I lied, "Don't you worry about that. It's not bruised or anything. I just like hiding it." I felt a pang of guilt hit me. I really hate lying to my younger brother and sister. Then, I heard Travis speak up, "She hides her other eye because it is her evil eye."
I rolled my eyes and shook my head. My brother just loves to scare Summer. To my surprise, Summer didn't whimper in fear. Instead, she just ignored him. That's the first. Travis lowered his head and whispered an apology to me. I just chuckled and gave him an affectionate nudge with my muzzle. Summer nudged him as well. After we sat in the den in silence, Travis asked, "So, Leyla, what are we going to do today?"
That's when Summer started jump up and down childishly and requested, "I want to watch you scare caribou." My violet eyes widened in shock. What is she wanting me to do? Commit suicide? Gulping nervously, I nodded then led the way out of the den. I was trying not to be too nervous. Alphas don't get scared nor do they get really nervous. That's my opinion, by the way. I was going to impress my young twin siblings. I was going to give them a show they will never forget! I puffed out my chest while thinking those positive thoughts.
We walked for two hours until we found a big herd of caribou, grazing peacefully on the grass. I nudged my siblings with my paws, signaling them to find a place where they won't get trampled. I watched as they quietly bounded for a rock ledge and stood there with anticipation. I let out a slightly nervous sigh. Well, here goes nothing. I pray that I don't get trampled to death. Snapping out my thoughts, I crawled a little closer to the herd, but not too close to where they could catch my scent or see me. Finally, I pounced from my hiding spot and startled the caribou.
Me: Not much of a cliffhanger. I know. Oh, I'm going to spoil this for you, but the three wolves meet Kate, Humphrey, and the others in the next chapter. This chapter kind of sucked, but, oh well. I tried. I need to introduce my OC's on my profile. I keep forgeting to. Anyway, I hope you liked it. See ya'!
