It's been a moth since Whisper was with her pack, she snaked on berries when she saw them. She saw a shadow in the dark. Like the moon creeping over the dark water, the shadow came closer. Fear swept through Whisper like a wave splashing over sand and grasping it it and taking it away peice by peice. Fear took her away. The shadow leaped at her and she saw it was a large wolf, or dog. The wolf looked like a shadow, even up close. A large shadow with glowing yellow eyes. It spoke, not like her mother's soft voice. His voice was cold and full of aggression. "What are you doing, pup?" He snarled. A strong snarl. "I-" Whisper was to scared to speak. "Come on, pup!" The dog snarled and clawed her face lightly "I lost my pack.. A month ago, I followed the trail of a rabbit, trying to help my pack, but I lost it and couldn't find my way back.." Whisper said, fear filled her voice. The dog let her free "Follow me then" He barked. Whisper followed, no matter who he was, he was her only choice. The dog led her to a circle of trees "I'll let Skull deal with you." He growled "Follow, pup,". She followed again. He stopped at the entrance to a dark cave, there was a deer skull beside the vines that hung down the entrance. He pushed her inside. The dog spoke again "Hello, Skull. I found this pup wondering around." The dog said. "Alright, she's lost, right?" The large wolf spoke. The other dog nodded, "Then leave" He barked. The other dog walked away. The large wolf-dog stepped down from his large rock. His tail was up and I could tell he was showing aggression in many ways. "Hello, pup. I'm Skull, that other dog was Snake. You were in our territory." Whisper stood, she was frozen in fear. "It's against the wolf code to harm you, but because we follow a slightly different code, I can still make you a prisoner." He spoke quietly with a cold voice "I have a few other pup prisoners, and I have some pack members working on a shelter for you, you'll have to prove that your smart enough to become a trainer. Any questions?" Whisper looked at him, "Whats your pack name?" I asked "The Pack Of Forgotten Whispers" He spoke softly then "Thats all?" I nodded. "Come" He said and let me to a few piles of leaves and sticks. "You have to make a bed for yourself. You get fed a little meat and get to chew on the bones of our food." He barked and walked away. Night came quickly, I was still making a bed. I found moss and leaves and surrounded it With large rocks. Heavy rocks. It was late at night when I fell asleep. In the morning, the two other pups were awake but I wasn't. A tiny husky came and pawed and me "Wake up!" He barked. Slowly, I woke up. My eyes shot open and I stood quickly. I calmed when I saw that it was a pup. "Who are you?" the pup barked. He had a high pitched voice with a kind tone, unlike the other dogs. "I'm Whisper.." I said quietly "I'm Spike! And you know this is The Pack of Forgotten Whispers.. And Whisper is your name." "I know.." "And by the way, you made a pretty good.. Pile of moss.” He giggled. “Thanks...” Whisper barked, her voice quiet.
