Background (Optional, but it gives you a better shot. 2500 words maximum, 100 words minimum. We value quality over quantity, you can have five pages and still say absolutely nothing.) "Oh, how are we going to survive now?" Asheta said. "I'm going to have pups soon, and the Flare Demons are attacking. If we surrender, the wolves of our pack will be treated as slaves. I'm the Alpha, it's my responsibility to keep everybody safe. I'm a coward, I've fai- AUGH!"
She shouted in pain. "Jessafie! Help!" she shouted, she fell to the ground in her den. Jessafie ran over to her. "Asheta! Just breathe in and out!" She turned around. "Drazu! Valficia! Taikamu! Help me carry the pups when they're here! But for now, just protect everybody!"
An amber pup slid out, and Asheta screamed in pain. "It's okay, a few more to go!" Jessafie heard more screams, some not even Asheta's. But it was her job to protect Asheta, as she was a loyal defender. Another pup slid out, a dark brown one that was almost black. "Don't panic, we'll get out in time!" Jessafie yelled over the screams of wolves. The demons were coming closer. Two more slid out, twins: A beatiful grey one, and another with a white tail tip. "OK, I think that was all! We have to get out! NOW!" Drazu, Valficia, Taikamu, and another young wolf named Maizyk rushed over and each picked up a pup. "It's okay, Asheta, we'll get out!" Jessafie said, helping her up.
"NOW!" Asheta shouted, yelling at the wolves carrying pups. Suddenly, wings sprouted out of each wolf's back and flew away with a little pup in their mouth. Jessafie picked Asheta up by her scruff, as Asheta was too weak to fly. They flew up, and Asheta yowled in pain. "There was one left!" Jessafie sighed. "We... We might just have to make a sacrifice."
The pup was sliding out now. "I... I can't afford to lose a pup!" The pup dropped out and began to fall, but Asheta grabbed the pup with her legs. Asheta looked down, and noticed she was different.
The small pup looked like a regular winged wolf... It was because she was born with her wings. "Th... Those wings... aren't wings of a Glacial Wolf... She looks like a... a..... a demon!" Asheta shouted. But the wings were different from a Demon. They were dragon wings, and they were very similar to demon wings.
The small pup closed her eyes and clinged to her mother's leg. Asheta began shaking her leg, trying to get the pup off. It was no use, the pup was holding Asheta's leg tightly. "Get off of me, you demon!" Asheta shouted, and the pup came off. Asheta looked down, and the pup was nowhere to be seen.
"...Good. It's dead now. I don't care if it's my own pup, it came from the demons and now it's dead. All I care I hope is just that I'm not..." Dead Silence. "C... Cursed...." Jessafie said quietly. The legend of the wolves was that if a wolf of the Glacial Pack gave birth to a demon, they were cursed. "... I just have to hope not. You're our Alpha, you can't be cursed," Jessafie said.
Meanwhile, the pup had fallen on the ground. An old wolf looked down as he flied. He saw the poor pup and flew down to her. "What's happened to you?" he asked in a comforting voice. He looked down at the injured pup's wings. "Dr... Dragon wings...." He leaned down to her so only she could hear. "Your name shall be Ryuukami. Ryuu for Dragon, and kami from 'ookami', meaning wolf." The pup had heard that, and remembered it with her life. Ryuukami. Ryuukami was her name, and she knew she would survive.
Ryuukami looked up at the stars. "Oh, do you like those stars?" the old wolf asked. He sighed, and pulled something off his neck. It was a necklace with a bright, gleaming star on the string. "Hold still." He walked over to her tail, and tied it around the tip. It stayed there perfectly, and didn't even hurt her.
"There. Take that to remember me. I must go back to my pack. They would be angered if I brung a pup like you back, because of your wings. They wouldn't believe me if I said you weren't a demon. But remember this- You are
not a demon. You are special. Remember that." Ryuukami nodded at him, although she was just born, she was smart.
The old wolf flew away, and the pup watched as his shape became smaller and smaller as he went farther, until it seemed to dissapear. Ryuukami looked up at the stars, and began to howl.
It sounded more like a squeak than a howl, but at the same time it was beautiful. The old wolf's shape began to appear again. He landed next to her and listened as she howled. She stopped and looked at him. "I forgot to tell you my name. It is Zu. Quite a short name, isn't it?" he said. "Z... Zu....." Ryuukami said. Her first word. Zu.
Zu walked to a nearby blackberry bush and knocked some blackberries out. He squished the berries with his paws, and picked up a stick. "Ryuukami, can you walk yet?" he asked.
Ryuukami stood on all four legs, and walked. Her legs shook, and she lost a bit of balance sometimes, but she walked all the way over to Zu.
Zu dipped the stick in the blackberry juice. The juice was very dark, almost black. He took the stick and drew a rose on Ryuukami's leg. "You are beatiful and unique." With that, he left Ryuukami on her own.
I checked how many words there were, and there was 934. I might add more soon. Also, if I get her, she'll be included in my book, 'Dragon Winged.'
Here's where I found the amount of words, if it helps:
