Story from his/her past- I remember warmth, love. I couldn't see yet or hear or crawl, but I knew right away that my mother loved me. It had only been a few minutes, but suddenly I was cold. Still by my mother, but colder. Then, screaming. My mum, screaming and crying. The warmth was gone now, replaced by cold, seeping, darkness. Something was holding my scruff. It was painfully. Then, a lid closing. Later I was told this thing was a basket. I was scared. I felt a sensation of lifting. No, I wasn't flying stop asking stupid questions I'm narrating a story here! Anyway, I was suddenly freezing. Something cold was seeping into the basket through the holes. Water. It was filling up the basket. I cried for my momma, whom I missed and never saw, that I could never feel her warmth again. I cried because I bumped my head too many times on the rocks and the raging river was far too raging. It hurt. My feelings, my mind, my soul, and my physicals body. Suddenly, I was out. Of consciousness, I mean. I woke up settled down on a soft rock. Another female Dream Hunter was there too, and I felt the same as I did with my mother, but there wasn't that radiating love. It was just pity. There was a little love, I couldn't walk, so I just stayed. A few days later I could see and talk and walk, which probably wasn't good because I saw that it wasn't my mother. I didn't ever SEE my mother, but she had murmured words in my ears if what she looked like, which I thought was odd, but I'm glad she did. The Dream Catcher that took care of me said that I could call her mama, but she didn't like to talk about my real mama.
"Momma?" I would ask, shy. "Do you love me?"
"Of course I love you! she would answer, but I was never sure she did.
When I was four months, momma started training me for battle.
"But I dont want to hurt anything!" I protested
"This is for your own safety," she always replied. But, this was new. I finally racked up the courage to ask a long-pondered question.
"Why did my birth mother leave me? Did she not love me anymore?"
"No!" cried she, "She loved you with all her heart! It tore her heart to see you taken away from her!"
Then, she realised her mistake.
"Who took me away from her? Is THAT who I have to be protected from?!" my eyes widened.
"Yes" she whispered, "But you must not speak of them."
And that was the last I ever heard of that conversation, she just wouldn't hear of it. I didn't care, one day I would find my mother and destroy who took her away from me, and we would live together forever. Maybe one day is have a mate and kits, I could dream.
Later though, I was playing with a my friend who was great. She was sweet and shy and stuttered a lot. I was supposed to meet her at the stump for a game of tag one day, but she didn't come. I heard a yelp by the stream and saw my friend near the creak being pushed by two older ones. I ran towards her and knocked the leader off his feet.
"Pick on someone your own size!" I yelled as he fell into the creek.
"Oh yeah?" He said, getting onto dry land and spitting out water,"And who would that be?"
He loomed over me. He was right, and I had only pushed him into the water because he was surprised. I wouldn't catch him like that again. He was huge. He threw me into the water. Water was swirling all around me, soon seeping into my exhausted lungs, slowly choking the air and life out of me. I got a beautiful breath of fresh air, but soon got sucked under again, drowning. I heard my friends yelling at me through the water, and finally I struggled onto the soaked land near the bank. I hauled myself up and my friends raced towards me.
"A-are y-y-ou okay?" Asked my stuttering friend.
"Yes," I said, drenched in water.
Next time I would be more careful, if I wanted to find my mother. I had almost died today, and now I would protect my friends with my last dying breath, being faithful until the end.
