Dripping Fangs (Kojo/Faith)

[Destiny]

Faith pulled her eyes away from her fallen mate.Her auds perked and she looked down upon Skysong."Did you hear that?"

Fate and Hope nodded.

Ronin nosed the pup.

Faith's claws went out and slashed the brute across the face.

Ronin only nodded.Then her herded the other faes away.She wanted peace.He had done what he could.

Faith gave Sunblaze a lick on the head and began cleaning the pup.

Serra began nursing.

[Ärï]

((oops, i put skysong instead of sunblaze, i fixed it tho, k?)

Sunblaze nuzzled her mother's soft belly fur. She looked like Kojo exept with more of Faith's slender build. Sun curled close to her siblings for the extra warmth. Faith was without a den which meant the pups felt the cold, sheltered only by their mother.

[Destiny]

Faith curled farther around the pups.Her soft tail laid over them for extra warmth.She could not move the pups yet.It was not safe.Ronin,Hope or Fate would probably come to check on her anyway and she could ask if whoever came could look for a nearby den for her.

Serra's pelt was a mixture of Kojos dark ebony and Faiths light greyish white.Her eyes would be an bluish green if they were opened.A sort of mix of Kojos and Faiths own.The pup had mostly Kojos build and would probably grow to be his size.

[Ärï]

Sunblaze whimpered and curled closer to her mother. As her name suggested, Sunblaze favored the warmth of the sun rather then the cool light of the moon. The little pup whined and stopped nursing. It was cold, even with Faith's protection. Though blind and still deaf, Sunblaze could feel the cold. Winter was soon to come, too late for pups and an unfortunate season for any wolf bearing young. Sunblaze whined pitifully.

Nearby Kojo stood transparant in the moonlight, a sorrowful expression on his face. If Faith didn't move soon, the pups would freeze before morning's light. Kojo couldn't help them now. His body lay cold and abandoned, blood soaked and ready for the bugs. Kojo wished he could be there to help but he wondered....would he be seeing his pups sooner then he had thought, in GoldenMist?

[Destiny]

Faith pulled the pups closer to her.She could not move them with no where to move them too.She needed ROnin's help.She took a deep breath.She let out a long pleaful howl to her brother.

Ronin's auds perked.He heard Faiths howl for help."I knew this would happen.I cannot leave her without a den."He sighed and began towards her.

Faith curled closer around the pups.Trying to shelter them from the cold harshness of the wind.

Serra whimpered.The cold wind whipped at her fur.Even with Faiths protection it stung her.

[Ärï]

Sunblaze let out another pitiful wail. The small bodies of the pups couldn't hold heat well, not at such a young age. Sun didn't know what was going on. She heard faint howling but didn't know what it was. She felt cold and then warmth and then cold. Whatever was happening was confusing her.

Kojo closed his eyes. There was nothing he could do but blame himself. He had gone to GoldenMist. Followed Merci to the realm of fallen wolves. Now he had to watch as his pups suffered and his mate was left alone. She was a first time mother. Faith wouldn't know what to do. All faes were supposed to have their mates to hunt for and protect them. They should have warm dens dug in quiet forests where pups could grow up peacefully. No, he had failed to do that. Damned humans had gotten him first and blown his guts to pieces just like they'd ripped apart his life. "I'm sorry Faith" Kojo whispered, the wind carrying his ghostly words to the white femme. "Should they go, I will guide them, I promise."

[Destiny]

Tears slipped from Faiths eyes."They may be happier with you then with me."She said sorrowfully.

Serra perked her auds at a piercing howl in her auds.She wanted to raise her head to look for the source but the cold hurt her form.SHe felt cold and numb.

Ronin padded to his sisters side.'Follow me,there is an old den near by."He grabbed Serra in his maw and began to pad away.

Faith snarled angrily at the way he had taken her pup but there was a den and she needed it badly.She reached down and carefully took Sunblaze in her maw.Her pawstes followed Ronin.

Serra struggled as she felt air around her but getting no where she went limp.

[Ärï]

Sunblaze didn't bother to struggle. Her limbs were numb and she felt cold, very cold. She continued whining and whimpering pitifully as the cold around her increased. There was no solid earth benieth her anymore, just open cold.

Kojo followed, unseen by the wolves as he glided along beside them. His time was running short. He could feel GoldenMist tugging him back. He could remain only a short time when he was so close to his own death. Kojo touched Sun with his muzzle. This pup was the closest to dieing. "Don't fall asleep little one" he murmured. Sunblaze looked almost exactly like him, red fur hinted with gold and white, a beautiful sight indeed. A warmer wind, like a summer breeze blew and Kojo vanished, returning to GoldenMist.

Sunblaze squirmed a bit, trying to get closer to the warmth that had just touched her. It was gone, leaving only a faint but pleasant scent she had never smelled before.

[Destiny]

Ronin brought Serra into a small den in the earth.He layed her down in a small nest of leaves and returned to Faith above ground.

Faith nodded to Ronin and disapeared into the den.SHe layed SUnblaze down near Serra and wrapped herself around them.Trying to supply some warmth.

Serra squirmed closer to her mother as she felt the soft figure of the fae next to her.

[Ärï]

Sunblaze's squirming and whining fell silent. The little pup became still beside her sister. It seemed impossible to tell if Sunblaze was asleep...or something worse....She wasn't dead. She was deep in thought, focusing, searching with her small, young nose, tasting the air in the den.

The little chestnut femme didn't feel cold anymore, at least not as cold as before. She felt disorianted. The smells around her were different then they had been before. Her first breath had been drawn in air tainted with the tang of her shire's blood. That scent was gone. For some reason the scent had been comforting. Sunblaze found it more comforting then her mother's fur. She wanted to find that scent again.

Without meaning to, Sunblaze bit down on her own paw, smelling to blood that came from the little pin-prick sized wounds. It wasn't the same. She could smell the subtle difference. That comforting scent was there but masked...tainted by something.

((she's gonna be a weird one ))

[Destiny]

(weird is fun,,hehe)

Serra let out a long yawn.Her mothers fur was warm and comforting.But she preferred the cold feeling that had blown through her for some reason.The feel of the wind in her fur.She had loved it.She moved away from her mother.But the cold of the ground was different.It was harsh and did not comfort her at all.She snuggled back closer to Faiths belly.

Faith hauled Sunblaze closer to her.She noticed the cut on the pups paw."Poor thing.It must have happened while I was carrying you here."She began to clean the pups paw.Her tounge rasping over it carefully.

[Ärï]

Sunblaze's small jaws snapped blindly at Faith's muzzle. Her mother was trying to take away what little of the comforting scent there was. Sun wanted to find it, find what had caused that strange, almost unnatural scent. Sunblaze shrank away from her mother, yipping and barking in a shrill pup-way.

[Destiny]

Faith jerked away as the pup snapped at her.She watched as Sunblaze drew away from her.She was worried.She had heard that Ronin had done similar things as a pup.The fae would not turn into...Faith shook the thought away.No she would make sure Sun grew up healthy and safe.

Serra whimpered and nuzzled her mothers chest as she heard the shrill barks of her sister.The tangy smell of blood came to her.She snarled angrily.It awoke some unknown sense inside her.

[Ärï]

Sunblaze laid away from her mother though still close enough to absorb warmth from her. In her mind, Sun was searching for the wolf. She knew it was a wolf but who was it? She wanted the comfort of that first scent. Uknown to her it was her father's death, his blood leaking from the wound in his side. Sunblaze would never know that but still, she was curious about it. What was it? Who was it?

[Destiny]

Faith gazed worridly upon her pups.Serra snuggling very close to her.Sunblaze moving away.

Serra let out a pup like yawn and drifted off it sleep.

(Not much else to put here is there?)
