crappy post, sorry ><


The skies were clear today, something that she was thankful for. She had brought some new things back from the city including some books, stuffed animals, and clothing. Ember could remember that she'd wanted a stuffed animal when she had been little, after seeing some in the old city, Citta Umana, and when she'd seen the shop in Halifax she hadn't been able to resist grabbing a few. There was a stuffed rabbit, a stuffed snake, and a stuffed cat.

She was just putting the items into her home when she heard a thumping sound, and her eyes flicked toward the entrance of the den. Was it a rabbit, or another prey creature...or was it a pack member? Her den was very close to Tayui's, and sometimes the pups wandered over to see her. "Hello?" She called. If it was an animal, it would probably run away. But if it was a pup, then the sound would get closer.

It was not <3, 500+

Noir was not fond of walking too far away from the family den, but she had found another den that she believed belonged to a monster. She had taken a quick look inside earlier today, but the monster had not been there. The fact that the den smelled a bit like one of mommy’s friends did not automatically reveal that it was mommy’s friend’s home. Now, little Noir had slowly made her way back to the newly discovered den to see if any monster was home this time. Everyone said that monsters were dangerous, but she had never seen one. Claudius could be nice, Attila could be mean. So, if there were nice and mean siblings, surely there could be both nice and mean monsters? Maybe she would meet a nice monster and it could play with her. Though, to be sure she would be safe she had of course decided to bring Toefur with her this time. Her tail wagged slowly from side to side, but the small girl was slightly anxious as well. She was almost at the mouth of the den when her fluffy tan ears caught sounds from inside the den. She almost panicked, and ran away from the open space where she would be all too visible if the monster decided to come out and eat her. Toefur landed with a small thump, but the child did not dare to pick him up. Toefur would have to take care of himself for a little while, because the monster was home and it would eat both Toefur and Noir!

The monster called out a ‘hello’. It was of course all a game. This was Ember’s home, but it did not make the monster story less frightening right here and now. She moved her body over to the side of the den, barely out of sight. If monster Ember was to stick her face out of her home, she would see the lonely Toefur staring at her. If the monster could scare Noir, then Noir could scare the monster back! She bared her little fangs while she attempted to create a scary face, but her face was usually just a big grin, so her expression was nothing but a twisted grimace with a large smile inserted in the lower middle part of her face. It was good enough for her. She hesitated a moment before she darted into the den. The light brown child ran as fast as her little feet could carry her, and jumped at the ebony woman’s feet. ”Arawrarawra!”, the little child yelled. Her still unchanged baby blue eyes rose up to the adult’s face, checking if Ember was scared. Noir took a round around Ember’s feet before she ran out the same way that she had come, returning to her hiding place right beside the den entrance once again. Noir laid down and placed her small brown paws over her eyes, hiding from Monster-Ember. If Noir could not see herself, then surely nobody else could either.

<33333 Noir is super cuuuuute.


She couldn't really remember what it had felt like to be a pup, not any more. The fire had changed her life completely; had taken her father away from her and turned her into someone that she hadn't recognized for a while. Back then she'd been more of a drifter, going from pack to pack without any sort of aims or goals...but now things were looking up. It used to be that she would spend the same amount of time outside of her packlands as she would in them. In AniWaya, she mostly stuck to the pack territories or territories that were relatively close.

The little pup barrelled into the den without much warning, and Ember backed up a few paces. She couldn't tell which pup it was at first in the darkness of the den. Why was it making so much noise? She was confused for a few moments, and her ears went back. What was this whelp doing?

The warrior looked back at the youngster, beginning to catch on. Noir was trying...to scare her? To be frightening? Her tail waved back and forth, and she answered the youngster's growl with an even louder one of her own. "Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr...You better watch out, pup."

She is a bit retarded, though. 500+

The girl was not patient; she did not even understand the meaning of the word. Her small paws were removed from her little face, and she poked her face around the entrance to gaze upon that black lady that now growled back. She seemed more powerful and large than Noir ever could be, and for a moment the little child almost felt a bit scared. The little child wished she could be black so that she could be invisible when the nasty dark came. Well, thinking about the dark, she was glad she did not have black colour on her pelt! Nights were fearsome things, and Noir hated it more than anything. She was not a paranoid or particularly delicate child, but the little girl actually had mental troubles when day crossed over to night. Her ears heard things, her eyes saw things, her mind panicked. There were of course safe areas, like in a den with someone nice and warm, but in general; the dark was a very scary thing, and what if Noir had been born black? Then the whole world would be dark and she would never be able to see anything, not even herself because the dark would swallow her because they had the same colour! Why did Ember call her pup? She was not a pup, she was Noiiiir! Baby eyes stared back at the adult woman, wondering if Ember actually was a monster or not. The big black wolf surely growled like one!

The child’s eyes ran over to the abandoned toy all alone in front of the enemy’s home. She bit her lips, sad that she had left the toy so alone and exposed. No, that was it! Ember would never ever get Noir and Toefur! She raced to the middle of the entrance in front of Toefur and bared her tiny milk teeth. She was not like Claudius, she was Noir Aston and she had her loyal Toefur with her, aka she was invincible (..right?). ”Monster watch out, Noir is eats bad baddiess monster! Noir will eat it all up!” The little child clutched her teeth tight together. She was being bad, a bad Noir. Her mother had always told her children that lying was bad, and Noir Aston had just lied to Ember. It would be impossible, Ember was way too big for Noir’s little belly! Noir would explode if Ember was eaten. That thought horrified the little girl, and she could almost see the small Noir pieces fly into the air. Her ears flattened and she fell down on her little bum, all of a sudden nothing was fun anymore. She sniffed a bit and let her eyes fall to the ground, afraid that she would have to eat Ember or else she, Noir, would be a liar. She did not want to have a time out, she did not want to die because Ember was too big for her belly.

She tried to hold it back, but a few tears started to run down her plump cheeks. She did not dare to look up at the adult, afraid that Ember would force the child to eat her.

Ahhhh. That post was so funny XD


Tayui had taught her children very well, in Ember's opinion. She wasn't sure if she would ever have pups herself, or if she even wanted to...or if she would make a good mother. She would probably mess them up somehow. Mess up their lives. With the amount of drama that went on in her life, or that had gone on, she wasn't sure if she had a stable enough environment to support a puppy. And she had no mate, so who would be there to help her?

Either way...right now, pups were not in her game plan. Ember stood up on her tiptoes, her fur standing on end. She attempted to look even more frightening, showing the very tips of her fangs at the young one. Noir said that she was going to eat Ember, but before the dark female could reply the pup was crying. What had she done? She'd made a pup cry. Unsure of what to do, her posture faded and her ears went back. Maybe she should continue with the game? But she wasn't sure why the whelp was crying.

She cleared her throat, shaking her head. "No....the monster will eat Noir! But what way should she eat Noir? raw, or cooked?"

It was odd how quickly the little girl had upset herself. Things she did and said in games did not count! It shouldn't anyway, because everything was only pretending. Nevertheless, sometimes Noir's brain seemed to malfunction and turn pretend into something more real than it should be. The tan girl would only have pretended to eat the larger adult, of course. The child snivveled, her nostrils already blocked up with gooey liquid. She blinked rapidly in order to clear her vision. The salty drops made their way down her face, and one tear managed to reach the corner of her mouth. A tiny pink tongue washed it away, and her taste buds found the salty taste slightly comforting. Eyes filled with sorrow and confusion took in Monster Ember. In fact, the green eyed adult looked quite scary when she tried to. Ember had not always seemed to show enough interest in the children (in Noir's opinion, but she was one of those children that demanded a certain amount of attention), but when she did, she was amazing. The scary pose seemed to shrink when she seemed to notice Noir's great sadness. So horrible, had she ruined Ember's mood as well now? That thought alone made the girl want to start new rivers, but the tears already seemed to come steadily, and did not increase in speed. Good. The child sniveled again as snot started to run down from her nose. She licked her muzzle. Hmm, it tasted a bit salty, but a bit nice too. Her tongue tried to reach all the way up to her tiny black nose, and succeeded. At least there was not snot all over her face now..

Ember's voice shook the girl out of her tears, and she looked up at the adult with confusion, before realizing that the black woman was still Monster Ember, and that she had planned to eat Noir instead! Oh no! The small girl's eyes widened, pretending to fill up with fear. Monster wanted to eat Noir. How would she taste like? What way should Noir be eaten? Hmmm! "Noir has is likes it cooked but not eat her no!" It was amazing how a child's mind could discard moods and situations stuck in the brain when more interesting things came along. Distraction was always something that worked well with small children, and Noir was far from an exception. A smile broke up the girl's face as she got up on her feet again. What now, should she stay and fight or run? She hesitated for a moment before she decided that she would be super brave and fight the beast to death. Her tiny feet brought the child forward to the grown up woman's feet. The baby eyed child bared her tiny milk teeth and produced a pathetic growl (It sounded really mean and dangerous in her ears, though!) before she pounced at Ember's right foot. The child shook her head and roared bravely as she tried to grab hold of the Monster's leg. Noir was indestructible, unbeatable. The monster was doomed now!

She often spent time playing with the pups, but hadn't really thought about teaching them anything yet. They were kind of young, just out of the den, and Ember didnt know if that kind of action might confuse them or something. She didn't want to do anything with them that Tayui wouldn't like either, and didn't know what the mother had already gone over with them. Someday they would have to learn how to fend for themselves, though, and why not now?

The dark wolf fell down to the ground dramatically when Noir went for her foot, putting her remaining legs straight up in the air. She was dead! Noir had gotten her. Her tongue lolled out of her mouth and her head rolled to the side. Maybe she could teach the girl a small lesson even with the game that they were playing. She was playing dead, like some prey would do. Opossums did that, she remembered. Ember stayed still, not moving, eyes closed.

The child failed to suppress a giggle. The child always felt slightly nervous playing games with violence. She preferred playing mom and child with Toefur and so on. This meant that she played more alone than with her siblings. It sounded like a sad thing, but it really was not. The child was just not very physical, except for when it came to cuddling! She could cuddle any thing any day! As for now, the children had been too small to learn about self defence. If they had, then Noir had somehow missed out on that class. She had never thought of it, because it had never occurred to her that anyone would wish harm upon her nor her family. No one would wish such a thing for no reason, right? She let go and looked up at the dark wolf. She had seemingly damaged the beast, because it fell down on the ground, her legs popping up into the air. Wow, the little Aston girl seemed to be stronger than she had thought! An ear flickered backwards in a slight confusion, but Ember was only playing. A laugh escaped the child when the tongue rolled out of the adult’s mouth. Ember was funny. If only the rest of her siblings could see her now. Despite her size, Noir had killed a living mountain! The girl’s light brown tail wagged excitingly, smacking her little bum in the process. She thought it was very fun whenever Ember came along and played with them, although Attila and Oce demanded more attention than her, normally.

The little girl moved closer to Ember’s face to examine the kill, and sniffed at her closed eye. She could see the adult’s chest rise and fall, confirming that Noir had not really killed the big bad Monster-Ember. That was okay though, and if she really really wanted, then Ember could eat Noir, because she wanted to be nice. She liked Ember’s pelt, it was so black and shiny. Tayui and Ember had completely different fur colours, why? None of her siblings had black colours either, so why did Ember have this? It was the only black wolf she knew. Ember was just special, not normal like the rest of them. If the wolves had not evolved after the humans had died, then it would have been possible that Noir had felt resentment. Ember would either have been a loner or a low ranked wolf most likely because of her unique coloration. The packs had improved though, and having a unique colour, true, made a wolf unique, but not the bad way where the targeted wolf became less worth because it was different.. Truth be told, Noir worshiped Ember’s pretty colour, although it couldn’t be fun when it was dark, because Ember would not even be able to see herself, and it sounded scary. Noir could see herself when it was dark, because her fur was lighter! The girl jumped up on Ember’s chest and started to lick the dead tongue that stuck out of the large wolf’s mouth. Noir was eating Ember haha!
