The forbidden lands. What were they? Who lived there?
The Dark Pack, that's who! Many feared them. Females played the greatest
roles in the Dark Pack. The males were lazy and didn't want to waste time
hunting. They let the females do everything. A Lupess was soon gonna give
birth to a pup. The Lupess' fur was a golden yellow and her eyes a rich
blood red.
She became slower than the other Lupesses and the males
didn't like that. Males would get mad at her for slowing down the hunting.
She did her best when the silver moon touched the sky making the stars
come out and play, but soon she had to leave the pack to the woods.
The pup was born on the night of a full moon! The pups
fur was a deep black, the pups eyes were purple. The mother spoke softly,
"Dear daughter. I don't want you to live like I in this pack! Daughter,
I shall call you __Dark_Angel__1. Dark you shall be free and not live
into the night and you shall belong to a better pack!!"
Dark just looked at her mother with her purple eyes and
wagged her tail. Yet Dark did know what was going on. The males of the
pack started getting furious with Dark's mother. It has been weeks since
she left. Soon, the males started to reach for her.
When the silver moon left the midnight blue sky the sun
awakened and let it's rays dance in the sky as the moon and stars went
to sleep. Dark was now old enough to walk and leave the forbidden lands.
Her mother took Dark to the paths and walked with her..
Many moons and suns had fallen and awakened. Dark still
just a puppy. The slender Lupess mother watched her pup look at her with
sad eyes not knowing where she was taking her. Dark and her mother grew
very close to one another. Dark's mother knew they soon be parting.
"Oh Dark. If only you could talk. I am taking you away
and we will be parted forever! I want you to live a good life. Start a
family, and be loved by many. Oh dearest daughter. This is for the best.."
Dark's mother said with tears in her eyes. Dark understood her and whined
and cried as the moon slept no longer and the stars played together in
the sky.
Both slept, Dark laid near her mothers warm belly fur,
curled up. The Lupess mother watched the moon set and the sun rise. She
woke up Dark with a loving lick. Dark yawned and squealed as she licked
her. The mother got up and started walking. Dark at her heels.
Soon they reached Neopia! Unis, Shoyrus, Eyries, and
many more pets flew in the sky. Land pets played tag with each other.
Dark stared in amazement as her mother smiles softly down at her. Dark's
mother picked up Dark in her jaws and ran to a large NeoHome. She rang
the door bell and put Dark on the steps, then jumped into the bushes crying.
"Hello? Who's there?" said a young girl looking around.
Soon she looked down and saw Dark on her steps and picked her up. Dark
whimpered at her and tired to get free.
"Aw, you poor thing!! I'll take you in and give you some
food and toys!" she looked at a tag that said "__Dark_Angel__1" on it,
"I'll call you Dark. My name is Sammie," she said and went into her house
and gave Dark many items of food.
Dark's mother looked in from the window as tears ran
down her muzzle. Dark looked out the window sadly to see her mother there,
but somehow she knew it was for the best. Her mother jumped away, her
heart heavy and sore. She'd lost her only pup. Slowly she walked back
to the forbidden lands.
Weeks had passed and Dark grew more and more everyday!
She had an older brother named David_Dragon. One day about two months
after her mother left her in the care of Sammie, Dark looked out the window.
A blood red male Lupe glaring at her. Dark knew it was one of the elder
males of the Dark Pack.
"One day soon.. I shall get you! You belong to the Dark
Pack.. I will get you young Dark!!" he yelled outside and ran off into
the darkness never to be seen again.
***
Dark never forgot her mother. Sometimes at night when
Sammie wasn't around she sobbed for her mother to come back to take her
back. That day never came. Dark made many friends whom she loved and
cared for. Sammie was good to her and always gave her more than she needed.
When the silver moon shinned and the morning sun rays weren't dancing
Dark howled loudly yet softly into the cool, brisk air of the night.
Dark had lived up to her mothers wishes. Her mother was
always a part of her, and always will be.
The End
