Počkat! Wait!

[Yami]

You see the pleading in my eyes
As you bound into moonlight skies
Ignorant to their helpless cries
We watch you whispering silent goodbyes

Počkat! Wait! I Yuan cried as I charged after him. You can't leave us!
Yes I can watch me. But we need you! They need you! I need you! Please stay! But he was gone with a bound and a flap. Oh pomoci! Oh help! What would we do.....

I, Suel awoke. It was a silent night. I saw mother int he distance, but no father in sight. I knew it! He had left..... He had talked about it for days. Saying his life was dull, pointless he needed more than us. I had looked up to him once. Thought he was a hero, my hero. But no more did I think that. I didn't want to be like that-that piece of dirt! I was lost, alone. I no longer knew what I was anymore. I had thought I was his sun ray his ball of light that kept him going. No! I wasn't! If he had felt any kindness to me he wouldn't have left! I was lost, lost and confused.

We all watched. Father left we too knew it. We all felt deep sorrow. We had once loved him.
I Kara, barely visible in the night, sniffled. I had hope in him. Hope that he would see what was most important, us. But he didn't and he was gone.
I Vinur wrapped my bushy tail around Kara. I knew how he felt. I had deep respect for him. He once saved my life. I thought maybe he would stay, stay at least until we left for our own life's. Father flew overhead his great wings flapping over the quiet land scape.
I, Springe ljumped in the air as if to catch him and bring him down to us. Down to stay. He had been a good jumper and had taught me. Now all he was teaching was how nothing is more important than adventure, no even family. And that was a lesson I did not want to learn.
I, Klupt dashed after him. Maybe he would see his son chasing him and come back. He had been my teacher, my leader teaching me how to take my first clumsy steps. But I tripped and fell with a mouth full of dirt. Dirt and betrayal.
I, Bruin howled a long lonely howl. He had left. All our dreams and hopes were crushed. All because of him! We didn't need a father like that! We didn't need him, did we?
We all knew our efforts were useless. He wasn't coming back. Never. The heartless fool was gone! But what would we do? Oh pomoci! Oh help!

I had watched with horror. Looking at him,
running..

running...

running....

Me, my son, both heard their cries, waiting for him to come back to them. My ears flattened, it made me feel horribly ill. Then my son, my only son, Asulee, rushed past the bushes. "Help is needed?" Asulee tilted his head, as I hung my own. Oh how I envied my own son, how he could be so much more...more what? I couldn't find any words to finish that sentence.

[Yami]

I, Yuan stared at the male charging towards us. I bared my teeth. Now we had no male to protect us, their stupid father had left. So I was the only one here. I had to protect them from the oncoming dangers of their life. I was ready! Who goes their! I snarled If you plan to hurt us back away!

I, Klupt ran towards mother. She needed my help! I ran as fast as I could. But I tripped on a rock. bump! bump! bounce! bounce! I landed in front of the stranger, trembling. Please sir! Don't hurt me!

[neonwoof]

I giggled under my breath at this new family, then waited for what Asulee would say.

"What, hurt you? Now that is just nonsense." Oof! Shaking his head, he looked to see what bumped into him. "Hey there little fella." Asulee chuckled warmly, sitting down. "I hope we did not startle you."

[Yami]

I, Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. But still the nagging problem of what we would do still hung. Without a male so many things were lost. Only just a bit I said casually. I did not think they were threats but again without a male we were lost. They might still attack if they thought we were unguarded. I just hoped they hadn't seen him leave. Him! The pups cursed father! I had to pretend he was still here, then hope for the best. The pups father just went hunting and will be back shortly

I, Suel snorted at moms reply. Hunting. He wasn't hunting. He out having his "Adventure" life he left us for. He's not hunting I spoke up He's gone! Gone! GONE AND I DON'T CARE WHO KNOWS!! I panted in rage. I hate him! I sniffled I hate him

[neonwoof]

The lonely, middle aged femme walked over to the pup and nudged Suel. "Let it all out little one, it's alright now." She hung her head with despair and glanced at their mother. "What kind of father is he, would you mind explaining, and why the hell did he leave? Little ones, and yourself, do not deserve this."

[Yami]

I, Yuan started to open my mouth to reply but Suel cut me out.

I, Suel started to fume as I remembered what he did. He left for adventure! ADVENTURE! Phh! His adventure is probably to go flirt with another female and put her pups through this! DOESN'T HE KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE! DOES HE KNOW! Or does he even care........

[neonwoof]

I sniffled for them.. I let my anger out for them, but not without common sense of course. "No little dear, how can you be so sure? As I always tell my son, 'you can never be too sure.' I glanced at Asulee, so strong and bold. I wanted to be like that...but that's the problem. I'm not. "BUT that isn't how a right father should behave." I nudged little Suel..what a poor creature. I gave a weak smile and said in my usual soft tone. "Now pick yourself up, you must fight for your rights! We all have liberty, but what use is it when you can't charish it? This is a free world dear, if you want to hunt him down, then do so! If you want to cry on somebody's shoulder, then do it!"

[Yami]

I, Suel sniffled. What use was it to go after him! He was gone! But there was truth in her words. I could be anything I wanted! I didn't have to follow in his footsteps! I could do whatever I wanted. And now I knew what to do. My family needed help. I could help mom. Thank you I nodded. What is your name?
