Whisper's Song

Chapter 2: Riverside's mate

Starkeeper let out a howl of pain when she stepped in an old rabbit hole. "Starpack help me." She growled in a low voice.

Fury walked over, with an almost comical, bemused expression on her face. She glanced at the rabbit hole and then looked at Starkeeper. Her face then turned somber and she sat on her haunches.

"Sorry for the way I've been acting! I still get confused about how different your pack is." Spoke Fury.

Starkeeper swung her head towards Fury and woofed "You're forgiven. Now would you mind helping me out of this hole?"

Starkeeper starts tugging on her paw trying to get out, only to fail.

Fury padded over and pushed firmly against Starkeeper's paw and removed with her help. She sat back and thoughtfully stared at the almost black sky.

Riverside materialized from the trees and stalked over to Starkeeper and fury and Crouches down.

Starkeeper shakes her paw a couple times to clear the dirt off. She then walks over to Riverside and sits down besides him, "Hello Riverside how are you? Haven't been stuck in any rabbit holes lately?"

Looking down at her dirt covered paw she added "Unlike me."

Riverside nodded a greeting. "I've been lucky." Adding a beat later, "So far."

He sat across from them and stared at the ground. Fury realized that she felt no emotion. She and Riverside where close friends, and she could tell he was ready to say something drastic.

Looking at Starkeeper he stared deep into her eyes. "Starkeeper I never noticed until now but… I think I love you."

Fury felt nothing but a feeling of recognition, truth.

Starkeeper's eyes got soft and she said, "Riverside I think I love you to." Starkeeper then looked down at her paws in nervousness.

Riverside glanced down sheepishly.

Fury Quietly padded away, calm and serene.

1 month later

Starkeeper pads up to Riverside and woofs "I'm gonna have pups."

Riverside prances happily on his paws and licks Starkeeper's face. He barks and asks her "When."

"In about three moons, soon I'll have to go to the pupmothers den." She howls happily

Riverside yelps with joy and races off to tell every one he's gonna be a father!

Starkeeper then walks over to Whisper to inform her of the news.

Whisper grinned a Wolfie grin and nudged Starkeeper excitedly! "I'm so happy for you." She woofed genuinely.

At that moment Shadow came out of the trackers den. "Good evening Whisper how are you?" Then walking over to the freshkill pile he grabs two rabbits, he then drops one at Whisper's feet. He lays his down and starts to eat.

Whisper went over to Shadow and sat down to eat. She glanced at Shadow and asked him if he knew that Starkeeper was going to have pups.

Shadow nodded his head yes then said "My sister told me right after she told Riverside."

Whisper nodded, fiddling with the rabbit and then settling down to sit down. She glared at a leaf with flat eyes. She looked at Shadow and sidled up close for warmth….. "I hope we all get to stay together."

Shadow got up and said to Whisper "I think its time to check the boarders. I'll take my Sister with me." He then got up and ran out of camp.

Whisper followed quickly and raced in the same direction.
