Blackfeather Woods This Cold, Dark Earth

It's about damn time Damien meets his badass siblings
@Pietro @Kendra

It was colder every second indeed. Winter was just around the corner, and there was a lot to do before it hit. Damien felt a little uneasy about the numbers of Blackfeather Woods, even when they had taken a few new members recently. They new wolves needed training, and Damien needed to know his family was safe with them around.

Damien was a wolf of word -or at least most of the times. But there was one promise he could not break. Meldresi had made Damien promise that he would protect the pack, and more importantly, train to become what she'd always wanted him to be. He'd done a great deal of that already, but he had still to begin his formal training to join the Brotherhood. But there would be time for that later and it wasn't on top of the boy's priorities.

"Burke, you in there?" whispered Damien from the entrance of the brand new den the Alpha had dug unnecessarily, but no one answered. He peeked inside and got a glimpse of the cubs that slept while their father wroked. Then, in silence, Damien laid down across the entrance to at least keep an eye on them while Burke returned.

Kendra was adjusting well. Not having her mother was strange, yet she could not really see why she'd be sad that she was sleeping. Her comprehension of things was still very basic. Waking up from her nap, she noticed that her father was not there. Now to think about it, she did get all over Pietro to have some warmth. It was getting cold in here and she did not like the cold. Yawning widely , she stared at her brother and squeezed out of their embrace then shook herself. Her nose caught a smell she knew yet did not knew and in a blink her head already peaked out of the den. Black big wolf. Mother was back, but then why was she not inside. She ran to the mass, but then noticed that this was not her mom. Good thing she had not said mama. Maybe it was one that would give her food?  She was starving. Unable to make the family link she fearlessly just went for Damien , her tail waving crazy. She started to lick the wolf's lips , to trigger the regurgitation process. Yes , male wolves to her were only good for food. "Eat - eat - eat" he barked happily.

Weird post, I'm sleepy

Damien's mind had started drifting away in thoughts, dark thoughts, and suddenly the world seemed a lot lonelier. He couldn't let those shadows get him once more, he had promised himself he would resist them in order to be able to focus on protecting his family. Damien shook his head suddenly, pushing his thoughts back. But hadn't it been for Kendra, it wouldn't have been possible to snap out of it.

The little dark girl popped out of the den in a blink of an eye, and went straight for Damien's lips. Baffling, Damien spoke, What are you- but he suddenly felt an instinctive urge to puke, and tried to hold it back. He had never fed a cub before, but he had a feeling it was not a pretty sight. His ears folded back, and her abdomen started contracting involuntarily, and before Damien could do anything, his stomach let go of it's contents and half his lunch came up from his mouth. It was gross.

Ugh! he growled, panting, What the Fuck! he spat to his left side, he could taste the digestive juices in his mouth, and it was making him sick. Why would you do that? he said, almost growling to his sister.

Kendra did not reply, in fact, she was already busy eating what was offered for her. She was enjoying her meal and munched on it happily. To Damien this was new, but to her, this was her meal , and her father said she needed to eat eat eat to be big and strong, so she listened , because why not. The flow of words did go into a deaf wolf's ear, she was not able to focus on multiple tasks just yet, however when she heard the almost growl and annoyance in Damien's voice, she looked up with still blue eyes and flattened her ears. No one ever had told her that this was wrong, or had reacted negatively. But then again she never had any other contact than with her parents and her twin brother.  "Eat ?" she whined as to explain , feeling the need to because she felt uncomfortable with that energy she was getting. "Not mad" she almost begged , especially since she didn't know what she did wrong at all.

When he realized what he was doing it was too late. He had eaten Kendra's face already and there was nothing to be done.




Nah, just kidding.

Kendra's big blue eyes as she looked up at Damien with concern was the breaking point for him. He had never felt so much love for a creature in his life, and that was the moment he knew he was doing the right thing. He couldn't allow no darkness to consume him, he needed to stay strong for his little sister, and brother, because no one else would. Of course there was also Cicero, Burke and Potema, but none of them could protect them like Damien (or so he thought...?).

Kendra babbled something barely understandable, and Damien's growl became a sigh. "I'm not mad at you..." he explained, lowering his head to her level and with a much calmer voice. He watched her for a moment and then licked her nose gently. "Just... Eat."

Kendra finished her meal when Damien changed her tone. She was not going to work herself sick on this, she was too young for that. When she finished and her brother licked her nose, she sneezed and fell on her bum. She moved her muzzle in a circle and shook her head, then focused her attention on her brother again.  Standing up she walked to him , her tail moving like crazy and  put her two paws on his snout.  "Play - play - plaaay " she squeeked happily and tried to get to Damien's ear. She bit more now that her teeth were aching to get out. It wasn't hurting but pushing her to chew and bite on things , living or not.

Kendra sneezed on Damien's face taking him by surprise. He slightly jumped back and blinked. Kendra had fallen back on her butt, and after a second she was charging back at him with so much joy her tail might elevate her on the air like a helicopter. She placed her paws on Damien's nose, urging him to 'play', and Damien felt like he was taken back eight months into his childhood.

Damien growled playfully as Kendra chewed his ears. He twisted his head, both freeing his ears and placing his snout under the girl's tummy in order to start tickling with his teeth. He wasn't being completely careful. He was Damien. But the last thing he wanted was to hurt his baby sister...

Kendra let out a bit of a squeak when her brother's muzzle easily unbalanced her. The girl chuckled happily when his teeth tickled her. It was tickling so much that she might have released a little bit of pee in the process. At least it was super fun! She tried to roll over and jump up again. Kendra could handle a bit of rough play, she wasn't timid. She jumped around trying to 'avoid' some of her brother's attacks before she started munching on his leg, her dark tail wagging excitedly.

Kendra laughed so hard that she peed all over Damien. Literally. And it was almost disgusting enough to kill her. Almost.

Damien growled at her, and suddenly his attacks weren't 100% playful; they were getting a tiny bit too rough for her, and Damien didn't quite measure his strength. He was getting carried away by the game, but Kendra seemed to be responding well to Damien's rough play. She was a strong one, just like him and her father, perhaps he would finally find a worthy opponent... As soon as she grew up, of course...

Kendra's awkward jumping and biting was too comical for Damien to keep worrying about her pee... It wasn't eve that much to be honest and there was always the pond to get an instant shower.

Kendra was totally clueless to Damien's disgust. She was used to her parents, or well, her father to lick her clean. She remember a dark female licking her clean but that memory was fading more and more. They filled with playing with Damien and having her father close. As sad as it was. She only had been a month old when her mother passed away, not much memories to build on. 

"Mieeeen!!," she keened out. With that she meant Damien. In the meanwhile she had let his paw go. She noticed that it didn't have too much affect. She wasn't sure why she was calling him, maybe for all his attention. She then jumped up, her front paws trying to push herself up against his front leg. She licked under his muzzle and chin, this time to tell him that she liked him.

As Kendra gnawed on his leg, Damien focused on the girl's spine, tickling with his teeth instead of actually biting. He knew he had to be cautious not to rush his sister, and the play was getting too rough. But when Kendra let go of his paw and started licking Damien's chin, he thought it was best if they cut their play time before he did something he would regret... aka ripping his sister's head off accidentally. They were just so vulnerable.

Damien allowed the girl to lick his chin, and in return he gave her some kisses of his own before dropping to the ground and resting his head on the floor. He was done with fooling around, and he was in fact tired from his day. He wanted to stay close to the den until Burke returned and then go find a place to spend the night, which gave him time to cuddle with his tiny new sister. That was something he was willing to do only with those he loved the most, and Kendra already reminded him of their mother.

Kendra giggled cutely at all the little squeaks when she was kissed. She liked the attention of her bigger brother. Kendra was soon tired out and yawned cutely. All this play was something that would drain her energy levels. Now it was time to refill that meter. The young one instantly snuggled against her big brother and hummed happily. If only Pietro had been here it would have been even better. Kendra closer her baby blue colored eyes and fell asleep against Damien.
