Zack the wolf of the fox

It was a nice and sunny Autumn day. Zack is a tiny little wolf cub, and curled up inside his nice and cozy den with his family. He has brown and white fur with yellow eyes. Also, for being so young, his paws are pretty large. Anyway, he overheard his father outside of the den... saying something about the two-legged ones being cruel.

He was saying, "Someday, we need to move to a new territory. These humans are starting to go too far with their intentions..." The mother said, "Yes dear, I agree... But what will we do to keep our cubs safe?" She looked ever so worryful as Zack glanced up at her.

She has the most gentle dark blue eyes he's ever seen. Zack glanced at his brothers and sisters now; getting a little annoyed as they were pouncing on one another. One of his sisters said, "I'll be the omega, and ruler of all wolves!!" She then playfully bit another brother's ear. He growled in frustration and shoved her over.

So much rough housing between the six pups! Zack growled louder now and said, "I told you guys, I'm going to be the leader when I grow up!" However, they merely shrugged at him and didn't respond.

Zack sighed and frowned, and his tail went inbetween his legs. He whispered, "Well... Or not... I'll show them someday..." He quietly wimpered a few times and went to his mother right away for more comfort.

He now complained, "Mommy! They won't let me be the leader in their stupid game!" She looked down and sofly nuzzled him. He giggled; nothing feels better than her nuzzles. She gently said, "Patience little Zack. In time, you'll grow up and realize that what they think about your opinions won't always matter..." Zack sighed in frustration, but then mumbled, "Well.. alright. You always know best mom.."

She said, "Well yes dear.. And I'm always with you no matter what." She ruffled the top of his hair a little then lied down. The pups gathered around for dinner after their father caught a rabbit. Then, he started telling stories of how he's had to face many dangers in his life time.

Zack's curiousity got the best of him during the stories. He asked, "What are humans?" His father slowly shook his head, and replied, "From my experience, most don't care about our kind. It's best to just... never confront them, my son. They use our bodies for many cruel ways, and when you're a bit older, I will teach you all more..." They nodded and their eyes grew heavy and tired now.

Early the next morning, everyone woke up with a jolt of energy. The pups were hyper and ran outside eagerly. Their mother warned, "Stay together guys and keep in sight of your father. I have to do some hunting real quick." The pups nodded but focused more on pretending that they were wolf heroes and villains. They have fun impersonating others too.

Zack stayed away from them, however. He only gets very annoyed by them, and feels like they don't care what he has to say. Suddenly, something very beautiful caught his eyes. It was a bright pink butterfly! It kept hovering around him. Zack has the urge to try to catch it!

He smirked and thinking that speed is best, he ran after it quickly. However, his precision is off and he kept struggling to catch it. He chased it for what felt like forever, and lost track of time. Eventually, he got bored of chasing it. He looked around, and suddenly noticed he was too far from home!!

Zack started to tremble a little, and thought, "Oh no.. I better get home!" Feeling uneasy, he started running back with the way he's familiar with, and tried sniffing it out too. He recognizes just the scent of the den itself. However... he returned... and the den was... completely empty.

Worry and fear over came Zack rather quickly. He glanced around, and yelled, "Hey mom!!!" No answers came.. He ran circles around the den, wondering what to do. After a few hours... he sat alone ... and still, no one returned home. Where would they possibly go without him?? None of this feels right to little Zack.
