Intro:
Soft taps of paws rustling the leaves on the forest floor was the only noise that could be heard this day. Sadness was thick in the air around this pack of wild dogs. For just that morning their alphas only pup was killed by a leopard. The alpha female remained in the back of the pack dragging her feet moping over her loss. ‘It’s all my fault’ she continued to think as she dragged her feet along, simply on autopilot to their next destination.
All of a sudden she paused. Ears perked. She looked up at her pack to see if they had heard it but they were still walking along. A faint cry can be heard in far off distance. She can hear it. She isn’t imaging it. She turned her head in the direction of the cry and continued to listen. If she heard it once more, only once more, she would know she isn’t imaging it. ‘Please cry for me.’ She prayed. She didn’t want to be going crazy by hearing things. There it was again! The third cry!
That’s all she needed. Her feet moved faster than she could remember. Her motherly instincts kicked in and carried her towards a baby’s cry for help. Mud, water, sticks, and leaves kicked up into her light gray coat as she ran towards the coast. As the cry’s got louder the faster she ran. Her heart hammered against her chest, her lungs strained for air, but she continued. She had to save this baby! She slid to a stop before a giant tree that had a simple house built around the limbs. ‘What is this?’ She asked herself. She remained frozen from fear of what creature could have made such an eye sore.
Another cry caused our wild dog to whip her head up towards the house within the tree. With her heart hammering once more, this time out of fear of what creatures could be in the tree, she continued towards the tree trying to find a way up into its limbs. Whining to herself she walked around the bottom of the tree until she came across a walkway that wrapped around the tree that lead up to the top. Gulping slightly, she stepped onto the board digging her claw into the board, as an extra safety precaution, and started her slow, silent, trek up towards the cries of scared baby. She sniffed the air, smelling death and blood and she grew closer to the cries of fear and help. Her ears remained perked, listening for any other noise other than that of a baby.
She rounded the top of the tree house that opened out to a platform that looked out of the calm ocean. Turning her nose towards the smell of death her dark brown orbs peered through the doorway looking for any sign of movement. The shrill cries for help had calmed slightly as if the child knew that help was near. It’s simple whimpers were coming from deep within the house. Her paws slowly tapped into the house, remaining on guard, as she approached the noise. Her nose crinkled at the scent of decay that came from her right. Flicking her eyes to the side she saw a woman partially eaten, laying in her own blood.
Pausing to investigate, she allowed her nose to take in the scents of what had been within the dwelling. There were only two scents, the baby and the woman. Although the woman had been sick, deathly sick, causing her to be weaker when it came to versing her killer. Dark brown orbs dropped down to the floor to see the leopards bloody smeared foot prints around the corpse of the woman.
The alpha female returned her attention back to the cries of the baby. ‘I will save your child.’ She thought to herself as she approached the basinet. The first sign of movement was shown from behind a simple dark blue blanket. Her nose sniffed a mile a minute around the blanket trying to take in the scent of the creature. She had never smelled something like it. The dead woman didn’t even smell like this creature. ‘She wasn’t the mother. Then where are your parents light one?’ Carefully, she removed the tiny blanket with her teeth to see bright silver and bright gold colored eyes staring up at her in wonder. She blinked herself, sniffing at the child once more. He reeked of power, strength, a stale baby shit. The tiny baby boy blinked up at the creature reaching a tiny hand up at the animal before him. Smiling slightly, he placed a gentle, clawed, hand against the animal’s muzzle, reveling in the feel of the fur against his tiny digits.
The alpha female rumbled against the child’s hand, reaching her head further into the basinet she reveled in the feel of the child’s hands against her face. The tail thumped happily against the wooden floor as the baby squealed in happiness. Her eyes scanned the baby once more, falling onto the sight of a crescent moon against his forehead. ‘What are you little one?’ She asked herself.
The child stilled as it sniffed the air, bringing his arms back to his side and went completely silent. The female immediately stood sniffing the child “what is wrong little one?” She whined at the child.
CREAK
Her light gray fur stood straight out as she sniffed the air once more. Spinning quickly, she growled lowly at the creature that has been the bane of her existence for the past few days. “Fucking cats.” She growled out as she stared down the leopard that not only killed her pup but this baby’s caregiver.
The leopard stood before her, crouched low to the ground, ready to strike at any moment. “Dog.” It hissed back in anger. “Leave now.” It growled out.
“Not without the baby.” Our mighty female growled out in return.
“Then you won’t be leaving.” The leopard snapped before lunging towards our female companion.
Side stepping the attack, our female growled and snapped her jaws around the giant cat’s throat. Gripping tightly, she whipped her head to the side flinging the cat to the side away from the silent baby. Blood coated her teeth making her smirk for drawing first blood.
The leopard shook their head growling lowly as it stood once more. Rethinking his strategy, he smirked before rushing towards the dog once more. Snorting slightly the dog dodged once more only to freeze slightly when she noticed the leopards true target. “NO!” She screamed before leaping onto the cat, biting into the beast shoulder blades. The baby cried out in fear, seeing how close the creature had gotten to taking its life.
The leopard flopped to its side causing the dog to smack her head roughly against the unforgiving floor. Yelping at the sudden pain in her cranium she released the leopard accidently. The leopard seized his chance. “Die creature!” He yelled out in triumph as he clambered to his feet and lunged for the child once more.
Time seemed to freeze. The dog looked on in worry and fascination as her eyes widened taking in everything step-by-step. Her ears pulled back against her head as the screeching cry of the child rang out followed by a bright green light. The green light simply pulsed out at first, catching the leopards attack and gripping the animal slightly. As if the light new the source of danger it pulsed once more flinging the animal out of the house and onto the platform as if it were nothing.
The baby’s scream turned into small cries for comfort as the light simply disappeared as if it were never there. The dog looked towards the leopard, it was breathing but it wasn’t moving any time soon. She whipped her head towards the baby and stared down at him. His tiny clawed hands rubbed at his eyes, as he cried. “What are you little one?” She asked allowed as she stared down at the little creature before her.
A groan from behind her startled her out of her revere. The leopard moved slightly, groaning in pain, but still remained unconscious. Thinking quickly, she looked at the child before nuzzling him warmly, rumbling slightly. “You are safe now little one.” She whispered to him.
The little baby sniffled slightly before placing his hand against her muzzle, as if understanding her words. Using her muzzle, she gently rolled the baby onto his belly. Opening her mouth, she gently put her mouth around his tiny form and lifted him out of the basinet. Walking towards the door, she remained on guard as she watched the cat. Reaching the spiraling walkway is when she threw caution to the wind and took off towards her pack. Running just as fast as before, she couldn’t help but feel happiness carry her feet back towards her mate and their pack.
Yips could be heard in the distance. They were searching for her. Her muffled yips carried slightly towards them in hopes that they would come to her. She didn’t want the leopard to catch up to her before she got to her pack. Her yips were returned with howls of joy. They heard her! ‘We are safe little one. My little Sesshomaru.’ She thought warmly, as her pack came into view.
-Hello Everyone! I'm back! Please tell me what you think of the story so far. Should I keep this story close to the story line of the Disney movie Tarzan? Should I branch out a little bit like I did in this chapter? Please be truthful. It has been a very long time since I have written a story so all the help I can get would be much appreciated.
