?Chapter 1?

Crouched low to the moist ground watching the tall light brown elk graze in the tall yellow green grass. She leaped out from the tall grass and bit the elks tender yet rough neck. The elk kicked at her and she fell to the ground, her black pelt getting covered in mud. She stood and shook the mud off her fur as the elk trotted off. "I'm sorry mama i failed you," the pup said as to older wolves came out of a bush near by. "You did not fail me Toco you just haven' t gotten the hang of it yet," her mother barked as she leaned down and licked the rest of the mud off her daughters fur. "Sparta we have spotted Black's seekers around the territory again," barked a wolf with light brown fur with even lighter spots under her green eyes, and one along her nose. Her white skittle spotted socks shook with pain. The older wolf turned around, her brown blowing in the breeze, her left yellow eye shining like the sun. While her right one sparkled like the fresh water from the river. The light brown wolf opened her eyes wide and barked "Sparta what happen," as she saw her left ear torn and a scar across her nose." "Just a little run in with seekers of Black's pack along the border that's all Shadow," she replied. Shadow sighed looking at her tipped orange, green and purple tail."Did you have to use your powers to fight them," Shadow asked with interest. "No shadow i did not have to use them, they where only omega seekers as usual," Sparta said looking in to shadow's green eyes. The Shadow stood and looked at the blood colored hearts under her eyes, and then down to the dark gray socks and crown on her back, then glanced at the dark gray strip running along the top of her tail. "Sparta what do you want us to do," Shadow asked. "Strengthen the broader, and i have been thinking of putting pm mushrooms along the broad as well, the only problem is Rusk and his pack of ninja's. With Sliyla getting close to her due date, Rusk will pull them out." Shadow nodded her head and walked off towards the mountain where the dens were located. Sparta looked back at her pup. "Toco." Toco look up at her with a worried look in her purple eyes, "yes mama." Sparta looked at her and smiled, "how about you head back to the dens. I will catch you some dinner." Toco looked at her mom and smiled, "OK mama!" Toco ran off towards mountain.

?????????????

Toco tripped and stumbled as she climbed the rocks trying to get to the cave on the top of the mountain where her mothers den was located. As she started to reach the top she saw a ledge and decided to rest for a while. As she reached the ledge the rocks turned into pebbles and she started to slide with each step. Reaching the platform she plopped down to tired to continue she fell asleep. When she woke up, she stretched and yawned. When she started to climb the mountain again she heard a hawk above her. She stopped and looked up seeing it circling above, it's talons sharp and looking right at her with it's piercing blue eyes. She pointed her ears and started running up towards the cave, still slipping as she tried. The hawk swooped down and sunk it's claws into her back, charring her a couple feet in the air. Toco whined and barked for help as its talons sunk deeper into her back. She though he hawk was going to eat her, but a sudden jolt brought her hope as the hawk was pulled out of the sky by Reno. Toco fell to the ground with a loud thud as she watched Reno bite and claw at the hawk.

As the hawk flew away with a scar across it's chest Reno panted and licked the wound on his chest as blood ran down his face. Toco's eyes widened with amazement. Toco ran up to Reno and sat in front of him. Reno looked down on the pup, "yes little one." Toco just stared at him as the blood dripped off his face and onto hers. "Thank you Mr," Toco said as she stumbled to her feet and ran up the hill into the den. Reno followed her up the hill and stopped at the den entrance seeing her curled up in the corner as blood ran down her back. He looked down the hill and saw Sparta running up the hill carrying a large light brown rabbit in her jaws. Seeing Sparta he ran down the hill in a different direction, hoping she wouldn't notice he was there.

She walked into the den seeing her pup curled up in the corner with blood running down her back. "Toco!" Sparta ran up to her pup and licking her back. "Mama that wolf saved me," Toco mummbled as she shook. "What wolf Toco," she said still licking her wounds. "The wolf you call rere." She stared at Toco with shock and anger in her eyes. "Is he the one who clawed your back!?" Sparta barked. "n-no ma-mama a gaint hawk did n-not him!" The pup stammered with fear and shock. Sparta looked up and looked around then looked back at Toco "alright i trust you," She said licking her pups head and wound's. Toco looked at her mom, and around den. "Now what mama? What should we do?" She gazed up curiously at her mother. Before she could answer Shadow walked in to then den. "Sparta the border has been increased and Black's seekers is no longer wondering around the territory." "OK thank you Shadow." Sparta said with a satisfied smile. Shadow nodded her head and left the den. Shortly after Sparta picked up Toco and brought her out side to play with her aunt Raccoon.

"Hi Raccoon," Toco barked happily. "Hello Toco!" Raccoon barked back. "Want to play with this dead rabbit i found?" She smiled. "Sure!" Raccoon agreed happily. She wrapped her brown and black raccoon like tail around the rabbit and tossed it in the air. Toco chased after the flying rabbit, and threw it back to Raccoon. Raccoon caught the rabbit and fell on her back, putting her black socked paws in the air. She sat up and shook her rich brown orange fur, then ate the rabbit hole. "Ha ha no more rabbit!" Raccoon smirked at Toco as Sparta sat down and watched them play. "Awww we need more rabbits," Toco said smiling and laughing. "Mama are there anymore rabbits in the territory?" Toco asked. "There are but we can not waste the food in the area," she replied to her daughter.

Flash ran up panting. "Leader there has been a breach in the border! Seven wolves have already been killed! It's Black's seekers!" Sparta looked up with her ears pointed. She stood and picked up Toco and put her with Raccoon. "Take her to the medical den in the hidden chamber along with the elders and remaining pups and one to young to fight," she barked commandingly. "OK," said Raccoon. "Mama were are you going?" Asked Toco. "To help out the others with Black's seekers Toco," she barked. Flash and Sparta ran to the border to help fend off the seekers.
