Disclaimer: I don't own Warriors. You know, I'm actually deleting my chapter over and over again when I start a new one, so I can just keep the disclaimer. Sigh. Anyways, chapter from the wolves' point of view now :D (Although I don't know too much about wolf behaviors, I will try to use all of my memories of reading Julie and the Wolves)
Snowfang howled for her group to come, and the lean wolves quickly assembled before her. "We must find prey soon if we are to live. The cat meat cannot be fed to the mother-wolves and their pups...their diets must stay regulated. I have scented rabbits, but they are so small...we must find that migrating herd of deer before those cats do. I do not know what they eat, but it would be safer to make sure that they do not take our prey," she barked to the pack.
Then Snowfang, the alpha, saw a few mother-wolves cautiously coming out from the makeshift den they had dug into the wet ground.
"Do not worry. We will find prey soon," she quickly added, to keep the mother-wolves settled. "For now, I will send out wolves to hunt. Moon! Owl! Go out to hunt! If you find deer, return immediately!" she barked, leaping off the rock with her powerful hind legs. A silver she-wolf and a brown male wolf dashed off towards the hills.
"Shadow!" she growled at the omega. "Get out of the pup's den! You sleep here!" Snowfang gestured to a place that was the least sheltered by the wind.
The rocky overhang made a good den, but at night the wind threatened to tear the fur off the omega wolf. The black omega hurried towards the den, his tail between his legs and his back arched in submission.
The white alpha wolf bared her fangs one last time at the omega and sighed, thinking back to how she had come to this unknown place.
It was the coldest winter in the wolves' memory. Old wolves got sick and died. There was no one to replace them, for the pups mysteriously disappeared one by one. No wolf knew what had happened to them until two winters after, when a huge foreign pack assembled outside their camp.
Leading them was one of the former omegas, now the alpha of a massive group of pups stolen from them. These pups were bent to the alpha's will. Mercilessly they attacked the smaller pack led by Snowfang, and drove them out of their territory and down to the bottom of the mountains.
They never let Snowfang's pack come back. She did not know why. But now she was here.
She had finally managed to reach the old camp with her pack one windy day when the other pack was gone, leaving no trace of their scent. But they sabatoged her and drove her pack out again, and that was the day she entered the lives of the cats who lived by the lake.
Moon gave a victorious cry from outside their makeshift camp. She was dragging five rabbits, and behind her followed Owl, also dragging five rabbits in his fangs. Moon quickly dropped the rabbits.
"There's more!" she exclaimed happily. "Those rock-brained cats left a whole pile of it sitting in the middle of their camp, with nobody to defend it. They were scared when we came into their camp, but we easily chased them off!"
The pack and Snowfang came to congradulate the successful hunters with licks and nuzzles. "How much is there left?" Snowfang asked. "I don't know, we took as much as we could. I think sending one wolf should be enough," Owl replied quickly.
"Snake! Scent out the cat camp and get the rest of the rabbits!" Snowfang barked over her shoulder. "Alpha," the wolves murmured, standing aside to let Snowfang have the first bite.
"Beta," they murmured, letting Moon stride forward.
"Pup-caretaker," they murmured again, as a slim, gentle wolf came forward and shyly took a few bites. It was important that she ate because the three pups that they had were ready to eat partially digested food. Then Snowfang stood back, satisfied, and let the pack tackle the remaining seven rabbits. It wasn't enough to feed the twelve wolves, but it would have to do. Then Snake returned with three more rabbits, and soon everyone had their fill, even the omega.
"It must be the season when rabbits breed. You know, they can have a lot of babies in just a little bit of time," remarked Snowfang, licking her muzzle and lying down to sleep. Moon nodded and crept over to make sure that everything was safe.
Tomorrow I will try to talk with these cats. I do not know how they will react...the river cats and the ones smelling of mushrooms and pine did not seem to be very nice...maybe the ones smelling of hills will be friendlier, thought Snowfang as she closed her eyes.
Ooh, WindClan will be very angry, lol. I'm guessing this is during the spring, when most animals breed, because I'm too lazy to look up when rabbits breed, XD. Anyways new chapter maybe on the weekend! Please review!
