it started back at the beginning

The cream colored girl cast a glance back at her sleeping siblings. If they woke before their mother, she hoped that they would put two and two together. Use the bowl step. Get out. Find them. Until they did, it was just her and Indie. Leaning momentarily against her giant brother out of sheer excitement, Asla gave a little wiggle. Without any more hesitation, she crept silently along and parted the skin flap that covered the doorway.

One tiny paw stepped tentatively outside, touching grass for the very first time. Aslatiel released a slow “wooooooow” and placed her other paw against the cool blades as well. She thoroughly enjoyed the feel of it on her little toe pads. Lowering her nose to the ground, she learned its scent. Soon all four paws were on the grass. Not only were they on the grass, but she was soon running like a mad child upon it. The tiny wolf darted this way and that, grey ears tucked back against her skull as she zoomed about. This was the best day of her life without a doubt.
