Rave: on with the story!
Toboe's Raine
"R-Raine?" Toboe asked.
Raine looked up. "Toboe!" she said blushing.
She moved Tsume's head off of her lap. "Tsume felt kinda woozy so I elevated his head," she said.
Toboe said, "It looked like you were about to...never mind. Do you feel better Tsume?"
"Whatever," Tsume said grumpily.
Raine giggled and said, "I don't know him that well...but I guess that means yes?"
Toboe smiled brightly and said, "Yeah. He's not the most expressive guy I know."
Raine smiled and said, "Did you catch those fish?"
Toboe nodded excitedly. "I caught one for each of us! We can hurry and eat them before the others get back!" Toboe said.
Raine shook her head and said, "That's selfish Toboe. You need to learn to share."
Raine stood up and started away. "I'll go catch some more. Make sure Tsume doesn't try to move Toboe," she said lightly kissing the pup's forehead.
She walked away from the warmth of the fire to go towards the small stream. She peered into the calm water looking for the glint of a fish. The moon shone down on the water giving it an ethereal look. She stared down at her reflection in interest. "How long has it been?" she asked herself.
She cocked her head and studied her reflection. "My hair's gotten a lot longer since then," she said.
She touched a red strand and said, "Dad used to tease me all the time about these stupid red streaks."
She closed her eyes and leaned back.
She was in a cave. A black wolf was in front of her. "Alright Raine," her mother said, "We're going hunting. Watch over your little brother."
A brown wolf off to the side said jokingly, "With your life little one."
"Yes daddy," she said seriously, "I promise I'll protect him no matter what."
Her parents each licked her cheek and ran off. She walked to the back of the cave and said, "Runt! Where are you?"
"Right here Raine," a tiny voice said.
The pup was in a puddle of mud. "Oh man," Raine whined, "Now I gotta take you to get cleaned off."
The pup giggled at his sister. "It'll be fun!" he said.
Raine picked him up and started for the stream. As they neared a strange metallic scent met their noses. "What's that smell Raine?" the little one asked.
"I don't know," she said sniffing, "But I'm going to find out."
She dropped the pup and peeked around the bushes. A hunter was standing over her father's lifeless body. Her mother was growling dangerously. "Come on," one of the hunters partners said, "Just shoot her and we can go exterminate those pups in the cave."
At that her mother shot forward. She sank her teeth into the mans wrist making him drop his gun. His partner shouted and raised his gun. Her mother tore one hunter's throat out and turned to snarl at the other, "Stay away from my children!"
"S-she talked!"
"Fuck it! Just kill her!"
BANG!
"MOMMIE!"
A small black-red wolf shot forward. She tore into the hunter's bodies with her sharp little fangs. The last one ran away. Raine turned to her mother. The pup was trying to wake her with whimpers. Raine came over. Her mother lifted her head weakly and said, "R-Raine...watch over him. Protect him no matter what."
"Y-Yes mommie," Raine said with teary eyes.
"Find somewhere safe for him...those hunters will be after you now. Jagara wants us all dead," her mother said.
"He'll be safe," Raine said.
Her mother smiled and lowered her head. Her blood mixed with the water as her last breath escaped her.
2 weeks later
"I don't know what to do little one...we're all alone," Raine said.
The pup whimpered and said, "I'm cold Raine, my stomach is empty."
"I know," Raine said, "I am too."
She sniffed and looked ahead. There was a small house with smoke billowing from the chimney. "There," she said.
She walked over silently and sat the pup on the stoop. "You stay here little one. I'm going to look for some food. I'll be back soon, I swear," she said.
"Alright Raine," the pup said.
Raine scratched on the door and took off running. She hid behind a tree as the door opened and a old lady came out. "What's this?" she asked.
The pup started howling as the woman picked him up. "Such a mouth," she said, "I'll call you Toboe."
Toboe tried to get loose to get to his sister. She turned and started away. "Are you a friend of his? You can come in," the old lady said.
Raine turned back and faced her. She shook her head and started away. "I'll watch over him then!" the lady called.
'I promised I'd be back,' Raine thought as she ran, 'But...I know I can't keep that promise.'
Raine sat up and wiped away her tears. "But I came back," she said.
She snatched up 4 fish and started back for the camp. 'And I'll watch over him with my life,' she thought.
Rave-That's another chapter!
Raine-Did you have to tell a sad story?
Rave-Sorry....
Tsume-Interesting....
Toboe-I miss my mom and dad.
