As the whole group made their way to a new foraging spot Yelena thought about what Korak
said. How would the group be affected if I were leader?, She thought. Every time she
thought herself as a future leader she became more anxious to be one. I would love to be a
dominant like my mom, but how do I prove myself? How did mom win the spot even when my
aunt Millie was in the group?Hmmm..., She tried to remember if she had ever ask anyone in the
Larkini how her mother got the throne. (FLASH BACK) Yelena stared at her mother with
respectful awe. Yelena was only six weeks old and therefore a pup. Yelena come here Sparkle
, their baby sitter for the day called. Sparkle? Sparkle turn to the approaching pup. YES?
HOW DID MOM BECOME THE DOMINANT OF OUR GROUP? Sparkle looked at her, WELL...BACK IN MY
OLD GROUP THE WHISKERS, I HEARD THAT MY MOTHER FLOWER BEGAN THE WHISKERS BECAUSE WE WERE
ALL HER OFFSPRING. WELL EXCEPT ZAPHOD OUR FATHER. BUT YOUR MOTHER BECAME THE DOMINANT
BECAUSE SHE FOUGHT HER WAY TO THE CROWN AS WELL AS PROVING HERSELF BY FINDING GOOD SPOTS TO
FORAGE, KNOWING HOW TO REACT TO A PREDATOR, WHAT TO DO WHEN OUR RIVAL NEIGHBORS ATTACKED
US, AND HOW TO KEEP EVERYONE IN LINE ESPECIALLY THE FEMALES UNTIL THEY SUBMITTED TO HER
WHENEVER SHE PASSED. Yelena heard this with interest and then said, WOW. (FLASH BACK OVER)
Yelena thought this over,
I will become leader of the group no matter what. Meanwhile,
Bela came over to Yelena's side, looked at her, and then passed her while muttering, Trash Yelena
took it as a huge insult and now she thought it was her turn to strike at her
sisters. Well if mom fought for the throne then so will I , she thought as she ran towards
her sister. Yelena jumped on her sister's back and bit her brutally where ever she thought
would bring extreme pain. Bela was stunned by Yelena's sudden attack. She turned to defend
herself. She wasn't going to lose a fight with Yelena, but before should could land a
painful bite at her sister she submitted to Yelena's extremely painful beatings and tried
to run away. She tried to escape her sister, but Yelena caught her everytime. Bela had to
leave or die, but she couldn't bear eviction. Before Bela chose what to do Yelena stopped
her beating and told her sister, One down two to go and the first one better stay down or else.
Yelena walked away with only a few scratches, while leaving
her defeated sister with bloody scars and countless bruises, lying on the ground with her
belly submissivly up. As she approached to rest of the group she saw that Korak and the
rest of the others watching her and realized that they also saw the beating she gave Bela.
She kept walking towards the direction they were walking to, acting as if she were the
dominant. At first she thought the group wouldn't follow, but to her own surprise they
were, with Bela in the far end. She felt proud that she won the fight against her sister
and that the group decided to follow her. She turned her head slightly, enough to see that
a straight line was following her. First was Korak, followed by Miller, Clint, Norm, Shale,
Dallas, Palkin, Marina, and in the far end, Bela. Yelena kept walking towards the day's
foraging spot. She looked for danger and sended out lead calls. She also saw that she was
the only female with her tail up, she admired that. I may prove myself to be like mom
