Hi I'm going to write a story about this baby Puffadore!


Once upon a time, there was a little Puffadore pup named Shade. She had a sister named Fade, which was her younger (and her favorite) sister. One day, Shade was playing in the den with her siblings: Fade, Moon-Dance, Fang, and Lockjaw. Her 'rival' sibling, Lockjaw, was sitting and chewing on a bone near the entrance of the cave. He looked content. Slowly, carefully, she crept up on Lockjaw... When she got close enough, she pounced and knocked him over.

"Hey!" Lockjaw exclaimed. He scampered back to his bone. "That wasn't very nice!"
"Oh, lighten up, Lockie." Shade said out of triumph. "You know I'll be the better predator."
'Lockie' snarled and dragged his bone to the very corner of the den. Suddenly, a familiar smell rushed into the den. "Mommy!" Moon-Dance, Fade, and Shade exclaimed happily. Maybelle, their mother, was quite a beautiful Puffadore that had been released by her former owner. The pups' father, however, was a wild Puffadore named Rocky that had been lost hunting. He was never seen again.

But this didn't stop the pups' happiness! They were bouncier and sweeter than any other Puff litter you'd ever see!
The Puffadore litter crowded Maybelle, licking her muzzle to beg for food. Eventually, Maybelle regurgitated some meat she had eaten earlier. Now, to a human, throwing up food for others to eat would be horrible, but to canids in the Sylestian world and the mortal world, this was meat paradise! The pups gobbled up their dinner as Maybelle sat facing the pups at the entrance of the den, smiling broadly.
"Now, pups," Maybelle said gently. "It's time to go to sleep, it's getting late."
The pups didn't even try to argue as they found a spot to cuddle in a corner, warmed by their fur and their siblings. Maybelle had the best singing in the Puffadore world! She sung a beautiful lullaby she had made, which was about two Puffadores getting lost, but then finding each other again. Soon, the pups drifted off to sleep......

The next morning, Shade yawned loudly, accidentally waking up the other pups. "Shade..." Fang grumbled. "You yawn too loudly. It's like you have a speaker inside your throat when you yawn."
Shade stopped herself from growling. "And what about you, with your annoying snoring!" Shade pushed Fang over, forcing him to get up.

Fade was at the entrance of the den. "Where's mommy?" She asked sleepily, looking around.
Shade's heart stopped for a second. Maybelle was nowhere to be seen.
"She couldn't have possibly gone hunting!" Moon-Dance said. "Not without telling us, at least."
Shade didn't want to think so, but it was true: Her mom was gone. At least, she wasn't in the cave.
"M-maybe she went out to look for predators." Fade said shakily. Even Lockjaw & Fang looked worried.
"Well, let's go see!" I announced. There was a bit more hope in the midst.
The pups looked out of their cave den and turned their heads. In all directions. But no, Maybelle wasn't around the den at all!
This can't be true, Shade thought to herself. It's impossible. Mommy can't be gone.
Fang looked at Shade. "Was Mommy hunted down by a Vulnyx?"
Shade shrugged, as if to say, How would I know?

A few hours later..."I'm starving." Lockjaw complained miserably. "We know." Moon-Dance said. "We all are."
"Well, I'm the starving-est!" Lockjaw said. Shade was getting annoyed now. "That's not even a word. Just leave Moon alone."
Lockjaw stuck his tongue out at her.
Fang teased, "If we don't get food soon, will we have to eat each other? If so, I pick Shade! 'Cause she's a tough cookie!" Shade actually laughed at this. Fang could make anyone laugh, even if they didn't want to laugh. All of a sudden, Shade's laughter was interrupted by footsteps. But it wasn't Maybelle's sweet pattering of paws and her flowery smell. It was a thump of four giant paws, and a horrible aroma that smelled of rotten meat...
"Who's ready to be eaten...?" A raspy voice called out creepily. A Vulnyx popped around the corner as he showed yellow fangs. The pups scrambled into a corner to hide. Thump. Thump.. Thump... Shade's heart beat faster. Then, a shrill growl that couldn't have came from a Vulnyx...

It was Maybelle! She was much smaller than the Vulnyx, but she sure was determined!
She growled and ran around the Vulnyx, facing the entrance and the intruder. She snapped at the Vulnyx, which made him step back. "Get out of my den!" she shouted. She growled and stepped forward again.

All five puppies ran out from the corner and started pouncing on the intruder Vulnyx. They bit him any chance they got. All this overwhelmed the intruder, and he ran out of the den, out of Maybelle's territory, and then out of Trollsblight Caverns...

Maybelle rushed to see her pups. "Oh, my sweeties!" she exclaimed as she was mobbed by five little puppies that were licking her face. "I thought you hadn't survived! I was taken away by humans and I ended up in Umbra Forest! It took me all day to get back home!"

"Mommy, I love you." Shade whispered into her mother's fur.
"I love you too, sweetheart." Maybelle replied, heartfelt.

And so, Maybelle & her five pups lived happily in Trollsblight Caverns.
The end!

Awwww... :) Love the names!

Thanks! :D My 4th grade teacher's grandmother was named Maybelle, so I wanted to honor her in some way.

You're welcome. :)
And that's sweet.

I love writing stories, so I got all happy when I saw the title of this topic. :P
I'll write a story for you next week, too!
