all welcome for pack members
Light streamed into the room from various cracks and openings. Under the door, between the window frame and the blanket that covered it. It made for deep shadows, blurred highlights and a flicker of energy that brought Anu to life. Her head rose from the blankets, blue eyes blinking sleep our of their corners. Black nose took in the scents around her, but they had not changed for weeks now. The room was filled with her fragrance, as well as those that lay beside her.
The three pups nestled happily, content with sleeping in the darkness that the closed room gave. Anu knew differently. It was time to wake, time to return to the world even if it was just for a few hours. Her life had ended the moment she had brought the trio into the world, and it had begun all over again once they had cried and spoke of their arrival. She nosed the largest, his tawny body stirring at his mother’s wantings. She licked the black smudged face, as if to remove the stain the colored around his eyes. Another spoke up, whines and chirps as he stood in protest against the attention directed towards his brother.
With silence Anu rose, sniffing at the third and darkest. His molted fur was painted with dark browns and blacks that Anu did not recognize in herself. Cypress woke, yawned and pawed at her as Anu moved to the door. The door opened, and light flooded her eyes making the squint momentarily. The Lt. General took a few steps out into the hallway, only to look back and see if they would follow. Without any encouragement they did, with noses on the ground, eyes wandering. Slowly the fey made her way into the common area of the Manor, and towards the door.
