Beautiful Rose

by SerpentsssShadow

Li-Wei had an amazing life. His father, Smile, was always over-protective, as was the his brothers. Being so small, Lili (pronounced Lily) [aka Li-Wei] had a hard time but was much stronger than all the others. But when disaster strikes in the form of Zalgo, things start spiraling down. Will Jeff ever be able to be with his beloved Lili again?

2. Chapter 1

Part 1

(Third Person)

Smile watched his pups as they played outside the cave. His four oldest were getting huge. His youngest, however, was still very small, and Smile felt like his little Lili, his nickname for his youngest, would remain small throughout his entire life. He had become very overprotective of his youngest, refusing to allow him to play with the older and much bigger pups in the litter.

Li-Wei was stronger than them, though no one but him knew that. He had also figured out that he could hear others thoughts. He wasn't doing it intentionally. It just happened. It was worse at night when everyone was dreaming. He couldn't sleep because some of them were so cheery it made him sick.

He now slept in the nest in a tree branch that was low enough to the ground for his parents to find him with ease. Smile allowed his youngest to sleep in the tree nest because he seemed to be more comfortable there. He would keep watch over him at night though, especially when he felt something hostile watching them.

Six months flew by as Smile watched his son grow little by little. He was still very small for his age. The other pups were half the size of their father, while their baby brother was at least a quarter of their size. They all felt protective over their baby brother, for fear of him getting taken away from them or harmed.

As Smile sat outside the den like cave, he lost himself in his worries about his friends. There was no doubt that Jeff and the others were worried sick and have most likely been wondering what had happened to him. He hadn't been back to the mansion in almost over a year. He hadn't meant to be gone for so long, but with the pups still growing, they needed their father. And Smile wasn't about to let his little Lili out of his sight any time soon.

He was so lost in his worrying, however, that he failed to notice his youngest sneaking away. None of his older siblings saw him leave either, all of them thinking he was still in the cave. Little did they know that he was no longer there, and was now running down the path he had seen in his father's mind.
