The Story of Blade Ch. 7
Night Claw, Silver Fur and the rest of the pups continued walking back to the den after the howling. "She did very will" Silver Fur whispered to Night Claw. Night Claw nodded, "She did better than I expected" Night Claw said. They both turned to Blade, who was playing with the rest of her sibling. Night Claw and Silver Fur chuckled at the sight of her playing happily with her brothers. They walked to the entrance of the cave and lay down next to each other. As the boys were busy wrestling each other, Blade quietly snuck away from the group of pups; and ventured out of the territory. She kept her head down to keep hidden from any other wolves. And as she as walking, she bumped into something furry and let out a small shriek. Blade closed her eyes and looked up to find another pup almost the same age as her. The other pup just smirked and stared at Blade. "Who are you?" The pup asked. "I-I'm Blade." Blade stuttered. "I'm Lightning" Lightning said. Blade started to lose her fear at Lightning's name. Blade slowly started to stand up straight from her crouched position. "You, you have only one name?" Blade questioned. "And so do you!" Lightning said. "Why do you have one name?" Blade asked. Lightning shrugs. "I guess my parents thought I was the special one so they named me only with one name. Blade raised her eyebrows. "Me too" She said. "Well, anyways, what are you doing outside of your territory?" Lightning asked. Blade thought for a moment, "I'm going exploring." Blade replied. "Me too" Lightning replied. They both continued walking further outland; talking to each other. "Which pack are you in?" Blade asked. "I'm in the Night Seekers Pack." Lightning replies. Blade nods. They kept walking without saying anything for a while then Lightning broke the silence. "Do your parents know that your not there?" Lightning asked. Blade widened her eyes slightly. "Actually, no, they don't! Maybe I should start heading back." She said. As Blade was about to turn around, Lightning stopped her. "Wait, will I see you again?" Lightning said. Blade shrugged, "Maybe" She said. "Bye" They said at the same time. Lightning watched Blade as she walked away and did a sad sigh. Meanwhile; Silver Fur and Night Claw were watching the pups carefully and they noticed that Blade wasn't there. "Where's Blade?" Silver Fur asked. "I'm not sure" Night Claw said worriedly. They looked around frantically searching for her. A couple of minutes later, she came out through the bushes. Silver Fur quickly padded over to her. "Where have you been?" She questioned Blade. "I-I went out of the territory." Blade muttered. "You, what?" Silver Fur said. "I went out of the territory" Blade said a little louder. Silver Fur sighed understanding what Blade must've felt. "You went to explore didn't you?" She said. Blade nodded feeling guilty about leaving without telling her parents first. Silver Fur was about to explain how dangerous it could've been without going with one of them, but a loud howl cut her off. Everyone's ears perked up hearing the howl. Night Claw frowned and a worried look came across Silver Furs face. Night Claw got up immediately and some other wolves joined him to confront the wolf who howled. Silver Fur walked next to Night Claw, "I'm coming with you" Silver Fur said. Night Claw turned to face Silver Fur. "It's far too dangerous." He said. Silver Furs eyes began to mist up fearing about Night Claw. He walked over and licked her cheek. Night Claw turned around and walked away. "Be careful." Silver Fur said quietly. She watched as he began to disappear into the horizon. Silver Fur quickly dashed over to the pups with a worried and depressed face. Blade tilted her head at Silver Furs facial expression. "What's wrong mother?" Blade asked. Silver Fur just shook her head and walked further inside the den. Blade frowned at the sight of her sad and depressed mother. There's something weird going on. Blade thought.
