At Long Long Last

The small she-wolf had rolled over in her sleep expecting the soft fluffy warmth of her mother. To her surprise there was no warmth and fur, there was just the cold ground that her face had rolled onto. A small grunt echoed throughout the cave as the dame pulled herself upright and looked around. Now Crusade was gone along with Keki. Keki, where had her sister been, she had seemed to disappear but she knew her sister couldn't have gone far.

Maka missed her sister ever so dear these days and she knew their mother did as well. A small smile came to her lips as she had witnessed Uncle Gargie keep Crusade in the cave from going out to look for Keki. A small soft noise was hear as it reached Maka's gray ears. Was that a puppy's squeak?

Her tail started to wag as she stumbled over sleeping bodies and tried not to trip over some but alas that was a fail. Turquoise eyes shone bright as she had made it to the part of the cave Crusade was to have her brothers or sisters or both!

Maka peeked her head in as her turquoise gaze settled on her mother encircled around three small puppies.

"Puppies!!!" she cried out in a whisper so she would not wake anyone.

With a swift gentle bond the dame was beside her mother and gazed in awe at the three small fluffy puppies.

"They're so cute!" she exclaimed to Crusade in a soft yet cheerful voice.

"If only Keki was here, she's missing all of this! but congratulations mother!"
