Word Count :: 378 completely sorry on the wait of this. p. Wraith, but Nathan is also welcome if Tammi doesn't mind. Smile


For a few weeks now, she had been in the care of puppies. She loved puppies, don't get her wrong, but she did find it quite strange that her father would just dump her sisters and brother into her care like that. Then again, Valkyrie shouldn't have expected more, simply because she had been raised mostly by Ryan. Hell, she didn't even know too much about her father until recently! She didn't even fully understand the things that she knew now, like how her father could be gay but still sire these children, including herself. She had failed to ask her father why he was dumping the children off on her simply because she had respect for the children. She didn't want to discuss such things in front of them, because she was afraid that they might find out that he was gay, since he had hidden it so well for the past few years. Or maybe she was just to blind to notice that he liked it that way. It would explain why he never liked her, and why he never would like her. She thought hard about this for awhile now.


She looked around the cave that she shared with the pups and then she cast her gaze out outside. She wondered where the children were. Had they been playing with the still unnamed Mare that Valkyrie was given by her wolven friend? Or were they getting into trouble somewhere? There were enough heads in Inferni to watch the children, but Valkyrie always did fear that they would get into trouble and there would be no one around to help them. She worried about them, a lot more than she probably should have. Though, they were her sisters, so maybe she had good reason to be fearful of their wanderings.


She lazily got up and she moved her hands through her thick hair and she tied it back in a hair-tie so that she could get it out of her eyes. She then would approach the entrance to her den and move out in front of the den. Luci! Wraith! Nathan! she called to the three pups, hoping that at east one of them would show up, though wanting them all to come running from wherever they were.

Sure! Nathaniel is welcome to join. ^_^ Also, the puppies are four months old now, they are BIG!!

[/html] Wraith had been playing outside of the 'family' den with Nathaniel and Lucilla for most of the morning. Since she was getting older, they played older grown-up games and did less rolling around, skipping, and wrestling than they had when they were younger. But they still always descended into giggles at the silliest things. She thought she looked very cute when she giggled, so she made a point to do it often. Wraith had realized that she and her siblings were much bigger than they had been before -- and now they were getting close to their adult size. Even though Wraith felt weird and lanky, she still liked being young and having fun. She'd even followed her family on a hunt now, too, so she felt like she was really growing up. She was so big!

She heard her sister Val call out to her and came tumbling in after the sound. She chirped a greeting and licked her sister on the bottom of her chin where she could reach. She wagged her tail, excited to see her.

"Val!" she greeted the other, grinning widely. "Whatcha doin'?" She wasn't sure why Val had called her in, but she didn't really do it often now that they were getting older and more responsible. Either way, she was happy to see her sister (even if she did see her just about every day). [html]

OOC: yey for big lanky awkward puppehs <3 / +556


Valkyrie couldn't help but want to squish her siblings because of how cute they were, even though everyday they wore her out, mentally and physically. The had once thought that she had boundless energy but when it came to those puppies, they were like super puppies or something! Maybe it was just the sheer quantity of the puppies that made her tire out so quickly, because not only did she have to keep up with one of them, but she had to keep up with three of them! Three on one little Valkyrie was a little much and she often times didn't see her old grumpy father (whom was supposed to be the one caring for them) helping out any. The only thing he was doing was being a grump and scouting the borders, scouting the borders, scouting the borders. Nothing else seemed to be more important in the life of Hybrid, and to think that not even his offspring was important to him was not surprising to Valkyrie, but maybe to an outsider looking in. Valkyrie needed to talk to him one of these days, ask him why he'd bother making these puppies if he did not want them. There had to be some reason. She knew that these were not an accident like she was, there was no way that her father could think that the mother of these children was a male. there's just no way...

She'd been thinking about going to Hybrid when little Wraith decided to bring her lanky body up to the orche and coal tinted woman. A smile showed up on her face and she looked down at Wraith, whom licked her chin. Valk giggled and wrapped her arms around the girl in an embrace. They were getting too big for Valk to carry, so she did not try to pick her sisters, or brother up anymore, for that was asking for her spine to be hurt. I wanted ta' make sure ya'll were okay, hadn't seen ya' ina'while. the woman spoke to her sister, explaining why she had called her even though the child did not ask that. As far as what she was doing, it was nothing. She hadn't done too much today besides try to read some of the books she had taken from the library in the mansion. Jus' readin some books. Also thinkin' bout daddy, and uhm, thinkin'bout takin' ya' an' Luci an' Nathan ta' see yer momma up in Anathema one of these days, how does dat sound? she asked the child, wondering why their mother had left them here in the first place. Didn't their mother love them? Why would she just dump them on her father like he'd actually care for them? Didn't the woman know better? Hybrid barely cared about the one daughter he had, why would he start caring about these children?

Arr ya'll hungry? It'sa 'bout lunchtime now, ain't it? she asked the child, not knowing if the girl had eaten yet or not, Valkyrie knew that she was hungry herself so she probably would try to find something to hunt so that they could eat, or maybe she could go and see if Hybrid had any food that he could spare or if he knew of some good hunting spots that could help in her search.

Omg Val and Wraith are so cute. (WC: 332)

[html]
[/html] Wraith giggled wildly as Valkyrie gave her a big hug. She squirmed and shrieked good-naturedly, finding Valkyrie’s optime hands to be very ticklish. Since Wraith was still too young to shift (or even eat dem wolves!) she couldn’t give Valkyrie a hug back, but she could do other, more coyote things, to show her sister she loved her. Wraith giggled again when Valkyrie spoke because she could feel her sister’s breath, hot on her own face, and her chest moving as she spoke. It felt very strange, and now that Wraith was four months old, she knew a lot more about how these things worked; but they still fascinated her nonetheless. She was a big kid now!

Wraith bobbed her head excitedly in response. She was glad Valkyrie had come to look for her. She loved Val’s hugs! Val was definitely the best hugger she knew, so even though Wraith was getting older, she liked spending time with her sister.

When Valkyrie mentioned their mother, Wraith slowed her squirming. She flattened her ears a bit and then tried to move out of her sister’s embrace.

“No,” she replied with a small puppyish frown. “You’re better ‘an my mommy ‘cuz you’re still here, Vally,” she explained. “I miss her sometimes, but imma likin’ it here and stuffs y’know? I gots you and Tali and Tali’s kids and my own brudder and sister and even daddee, and Sage! She said she’s mah famlee too! So I dunneed a mommy now cuz I got so many of dem!” She was a little sad to say this, but it was true, wasn’t it? If her mommy couldn’t love her as much as her sisters Val and Tal, then she didn’t really want to have her as a mommy anyways.

“But I do want some dat food,” she added slyly with a small grin. This was why she loved Val so much – because she was nice and helped her and loved her; not like her real ‘mommy.’ [html]
