Home has never been so new

Settling herself on the new skin she was given to lay on Gypsy began her searching of the selected room. Being a Mexican Wolf she had never had the opportunity to reside in a cave such as the Anathema did, to her it seemed to strange to live in homes that were not made by her own paws. Still she wouldn't complain, this pack had taken a stray in and now she was blooded to them for life, or at least that's what she was hoping for. She was sure that she would find her nitch somewhere amongst them, she just didn't quiet know where yet. Turning her head from side to side, her glittering green eyes took in the wet walls, the sharp and jagged edges that lined the ceiling and along the walls of her home. Her large paws spread out wide, taking in the feel of the smooth, dirt covered ground, the fresh smell of dew and green filling her scenes with a sort of peace that only nature could do. Than the unfamiliar smell of wolf came to her, causing a shy but content smile to run over her lips.

She was home, and for once she was among her own kind, wolves, much larger and probably stronger wolves, but wolves none the less and she didn't want to leave any time soon. A sharp squeak from the corner interrupted her thoughts, her eyes scanning the area to find Boris scratching and digging along the walls and ground, as if making himself more at home as well. "You like it here too don't you Boris?" She smiled to the mouse getting up she allowed her jaw to stretch large in a yawn. There was much sleep she had to catch up on, but for now she had other things to attend to. More important matters such as meeting the pack, and learning the ways of the land. Turning from her long time mouse friend she exited her spot in the den, and began a self given tour of the cave, in hopes that she would meet her new pack members.

Normally Matteo wouldn't be caught dead in the single room tunnel system. Since he'd moved into a family den with Alaki and Camilla, he'd been staying away from the halls he used to see as 'home'. However, today he'd been in quite the interesting mood; he felt bored. Camilla was stuck with him since she'd gotten lost in the caves the night before. He'd grounded her for wandering off without supervision, especially in the unmarked areas. She was over the whole thing now, happy to be hanging around her brother again... but Teo was starting to reconsider dragging her around. She wouldn't stop gabbing.

... e poi ho detto Carissa da nascondere e ha ascoltato! Penso che lei mi capisce ogni giorno di più. Non è fantastico, Matteo? Camilla chattered happily, tail waving and arms clinging to the little raccoon in question.

Matteo hadn't really been listening. Fantastica. He paused a moment but kept walking, his tail flicking. The moment his sister opened her mouth to continue talking, he stopped and looked down at her. Camilla, vi prega di calmarsi un po '? La gente potrebbe essere a dormire. He chided, keeping his voice calm and flat, not wanting to show how annoyed he was at that moment.

The little pup murmured her apology and started walking when he did. This time, she started humming softly, an Italian lullaby his mother had apparent sung to her as well, before the woman had passed on. He didn't mind this time... in fact, he started humming along as they strolled.

He only stopped when he spotted someone leaving a room that, just the day before, had been empty. He didn't pay much mind... but Camilla had obviously noticed. Curiously, boldly, she skipped away from her brother to greet the newcomer. Hello! She chimed in a thick Italian accent as she approached, tail waving and eyes bright and cheery.

Matteo was slower to follow, hands in his pockets and tail still behind him. He offered the stranger a smile as a greeting, and a short nod, before coming to stand behind and beside his sister quietly.

A large yawn escaped the black and white maw as the she-wolf padded down the long wide tunnel of the underground territory. She felt safe in these walls, but also a bit scared. They held her in, directed her in the direction they wanted to move, not at her free will. She shook the though from her head and kept padding down the dirt path, tail swishing as she looked from side to side. Many dens lay behind curtians and she sniffed, remembering her "settling in". Alaki, the male that showed her to a den was rude, and a bit short with her. Although she rarely let him get away with it, giving smart comments right back. It was at the time that she was unaware that he was of much higher rank than her. She sighed again, already on bad terms with someone, of course.


She continued a ways down the long tunnel, making sure to not turn off anywhere that she was unsure of. Deep in thought about how to repay the stubborn mule of a male in the nicest way that she possibly could, she didn't see the crowd ahead of her. Her form was not something she usually took, for the lack of better judgement, it wasn't right. But she had seen far to many in the same form, staring at her and felt she would be best to blend. Her short cutoff jeans snug against her hips were starting to fray from lack of care. She tugged at them lightly and stood behind the male that was standing back from the crowd.


Nose twitching she padded forward a bit more and hoped he didn't think she was spying, more just watching how the pack worked. With a slight sigh and shrug of the shoulders she stepped forward, to fall into place next to the male and watched the younger she-wolf boldy say hello to the black female in front of her.

304 word count, I'm getting up there slowly but surely



Gypsy was nearly startled out of her hide when she heard the bright greeting, turning her body around she came to look at the wolves standing in front of her. Both in their other form, Gypsy had to take note of that; it seemed to her that all the pack members of this pack liked the Luperci form. Was that normal? She guessed it was, it had been so long since she had been in the mixes with others that all things seemed strange to her. Glancing over the wolves she noticed that one seemed more eager than the other, almost uncomfortable that he had no choice but to follow the female standing happily next to him. Still she guessed that if she had to meet a new wolf before she was ready she would have the same feelings. “Hello,” she stated nervously, sitting on her hind legs before speaking more clearly. “The names Gypsy, I’m new here, and your names are?” She questioned politely giving her best smile to assure that she meant well even if she seemed nervous around them.

Out of the corner of her eye Gypsy saw another wolf approaching, this one decorated in white and black fur, and by the smell she was female too. Turning her attention to her also she allowed her eyes to take in the various members of the pack, the look was definitely out of her norm, but it was a welcomed difference compared to loneliness. “How is it that you all know each other?” She asked to all. “Or at least came to be here,” she pressed on, that was one of her faults. Gypsy tended to want to know the world when it came to an individual, and sometimes she feared it was a tad overbearing of her.
