"Dad! Wake up! Wake upppp." A small cub whined as he pulled on his sleeping father ears.
"Let's play!" Said another cub, pulling on Diego's tail.
"It's to early." Diego grumbled.
"But I want to learn how to hunt!" Said the first cub. Being stubborn as always.
"Okay, okay. I'm getting up." Diego sighed, opening his eyes to see his two cubs. Kevin, the dark tan cub with deep dark brown eyes with small brown stripes running down his back. And a stubborn cub.
And then there is his daughter, Soul. The silver cub. With one eye blue and the other white. And not as stubborn as his brother.
Shira woke up to see her mate and her cubs going outside the cave. "Hunting this early?"
Deigo looked back at Shira. "Well, I better do it now before these guys pull my ears off."
Shira smiled. She got up. "Well, don't be gone for to long."
"Let's go!" Kevin said. Pushing his father legs.
"Okay, okay. I'm going." Diego said.
"So what are going to hunt? A mammoth? A gazelle?" Kevin asked, couldn't wait for his first hunt.
Soul on the other paw. Was getting distracted by a butterfly.
"You can hunt down a gazelle when your older. For now, let's hunt something small." Diego said. He looked around the area, just grass, berries and trees.
Diego spotted a small hare, just munching on the grass. "Perfect." He said to himself. "Watch and learn kids, your father is about to-" He felt something rushed past him. Kevin was running towards the hare.
"I'm gonna eat ya!" Kevin shouted. The hare looked and started running away.
"Wait! Kevin!" Diego said. Running after him while Soul was playing with a butterfly with her paws. Not noticing her father and her brother left.
The hare was fast, but Kevin wasn't gonna let it escape. Kevin thought he was close enough and leaped at the hare but only to kiss the ground. Diego stopped and help his son up. "Kevin, you okay?"
"Yea." Kevin grumbled. "But the hare got away."
"Be careful next time." Diego said. "You could have gotten hurt."
"Don't worry, dad. I'm the strongest saber there is!" Keven growled, pretending his was fighting.
Diego chuckled. "You know, when I used to be your age. I thought I was the strongest saber there is."
"Well, now I took your place." Kevin giggled. Running around his father's leg.
Diego smirked, "well, we should head back."
"Daddy!"
Diego gasped. He forgot about Soul! "Soul!" Diego grabbed Kevin and ran towards the scream.
When Diego arrived, he saw Soul being surrounded by a pack of wolves.
"Look how tasty she looks." A wolf chuckled.
"She's small, but she will make a good meal." Another wolf said.
"You back away from her." Diego growled. The wolves looked and saw Diego.
"Who the hell are you!?" A wolf growled.
"Dad!" Soul ran towards Diego and hid behind his leg.
"I'm the father that is about to tear you up if you touch my daughter." Diego said.
The wolves snarled. "This is our territory, no sabers should come here . The ones that do trespass is to be eaten for dinner!"
"This land isn't anyone's territory!" Diego replied. "It's a free land!"
"That's what you think." The wolf said. "Be careful where you leave your cubs nex time. Next time, you will only find bones." The pack left, running in the woods.
"Sis! Are you alright?" Kevin asked, hoping down from Diego's back and checking his sister.
Soul nodded. "Yea. I'm fine."
Diego sighed. It's only been two months and already one of his cubs nearly got eaten. What kind of father am I? Diego thought to himself. "Come on kids, let's go back to your mom."
Kevin and Soul nodded and followed their dad.
Shira was with Ellie and Manny.
"So, where are the others?" Shira asked.
"Peaches is off with Louis and Sid, well he might be flying for all I care." Manny said.
"And Granny is looking after Precious." Ellie added.
"Mom!"
Shira looked and saw Kevin and Soul and her mate.
"Hello. How did your first hunt go?" Shira asked.
"I nearly got a hare. I was so close!" Kevin said.
"Oh, thats great to hear for your first hunt." She said to Kevin, licking his fur. "How about you Soul?"
Soul looked at her mother and then down at her paws.
Diego sighed. "We ran into some trouble."
Ellie gasped. "Did something attack you?"
"Kids, the adults need to talk." Shira said.
Kevin nodded and took his sister on a rock, not to far away from the herd.
"It's the pack of wolves again." Diego said. "They nearly attack Soul."
"What? Aren't they are bit far away from here?" Manny asked.
"They used to live near the mountains. But they moving closer and closer. Claiming the land as their own." Diego replied.
"What should we do?" Ellie asked.
"Yes, we should do something. We have cubs, Diego. We can't let them go alone." Shira said.
"Soul doesn't remember a thing when she was born, does she?" Manny asked.
Shira her head. "She seems to forgot everything happened that night. She thinks I'm her actually mother."
"So, the wolves. We just have to keep an eyes on the cubs and on the wolves." Diego said.
The other three adults agreed and nodded.
"Soul, come on. Tackle me!" Kevin challenged.
"But you always win." Soul said.
"Come on, I'll go easy on you." Kevin replied.
"You said that last time." Soul mumbled.
Kevin smirked and tackled Soul and he landed on top of her. "I win already!"
"Not fair! I wasn't ready!" Soul replied.
"Wait, what is that?" Kevin looked at a tiny scar on her stomach.
Soul looked. "Oh, that's nothing. That was an accident."
"Oh, okay!" Kevin said. Believing her.
"Light...where are you...I can't feel your soul...anymore..."
