Wild Rose

After wandering around in the forest for a while you find yourself back in the pack's camp. You walk around trying to find some wolf to help you when a black pup dashes out of a den. 

"Midnight Lily wait!" A female wolf calls. You pause as the pup runs past you then look to the red-ish wolf standing at the cave's mouth. Her green eyes look in all directions searching for the pup before settling on you. You smile and step back.

"Still lost are we?" She says smiling. You nod. 

"Well, seeing as your sticking around for a bit may I ask your name?" The wolf asks she walks closer, and you can't help but admire her beauty and grace. She sits in front of you, and smiles. You sit as well and tell her your name. You ask if the pup running out of the den was hers.

"Yes. The runt in the litter and more trouble then we bargained for...of course the trouble I think came from her father's side.." She says looking at the sky as she thinks. You stop her and ask who the father is. She laughs.

"Oh! I should have said that before. I'm Wild Rose, Mountain Claw's mate. We've had six pups, although I'm sad to say we've lost three." She looks away, and you wonder if she's blinking back tears. You say you're sorry for her and she shakes her head.

"It's a wolf's life I suppose. Although, I do enjoy staying in camp and watching all the other pups." She says, a slight smile coming to her face. You ask if she's a pupsitter. She nods.

"And I love every second of it!" She said. Her eyes sparkled. Suddenly the black and tan pup stumbles up to her whimpering.

"Mama, my paw." She says showing a thorn in her paw.

"Well, I told you not to run off." Wild Rose scolds. The pup nods. Wild Rose looks up at you.

"I'm sorry, but I need to take her to Cedar Tail. It was nice to meet you though." She says standing. You nod and respond with the same.
