Silver speaks - The Shadows are Coming

I crawled out of the den with the
two small pups trailing after me.
"Silver!" The voice of Spirit met my ears.
I turned to see him trotting toward me and the pups.
I touched noses with him, "What's wrong?" I asked.
Spirit's face was grim. "The Shadow have come to Lark."
I looked down at my pups confused faces.
I wasn't confused, oh no!
I knew all to well what my mate meant.
I sighed.
"What are we going to do with them?"
I was talking about the pups.
Spirit said, "Take them away from Lark.
Now!" I nodded. "Come."
My pups followed me from the
camp. When we were far from
Lark I told them, "Go! Go to Sunny Hill."
"Why mommy, why!?" the pups were in terror
and I was filled with sorrow.
"Lark is being invaded by Shadows, mean wolves,
my darlings, mean wolves." In they terror
I knew they won't find Sunny Hill. So I took
them there myself. I went to my sister, Neera.
"Neera, please take my pups, Quest and Fiona.
The Shadows have come to Lark and I can't
risk thier lives." Neera understood and
took in the two small pups. "Good-Bye Children!"
I said running back to camp. Spirit met me and asked
if I did it. I nodded tears coming to my eyes. Spirit
told me that once the shadows had gone, the first thing
he would do was to go to Sunny Hill and get the pups.
I smiled at him and watched as the sun was covered. It still
shone but, barely.

The Shadows had arrived.
