Latte

First Person - Latte + Mocha Bio

Many months ago, I, Latte, and my younger sister, Mocha, got kicked out of our pack, by our father, who didn't want us around anymore. He despised Mocha, as she couldn't hunt as easily as the others. She always struggled with being quiet, chasing down prey, and keeping ahold of it if she ever did catch it. Our father was furious about this though, and demanded she leave at once. I told him I'd be going with her, as she could never survive out there on her own.

We travelled far and wide throughout the land, living off of whatever we could find. It was never enough. We were starving, thirsty, and weak. We were tired of walking every day. Looking for food, or water, or a place to sleep.

One morning, my sister and I stumbled across the start of a forest; a huge forest, at that. After a few minutes of walking we realised just how big it was, and how we had ended up lost inside it, with no sign of an exit. That's when we were approached by another wolf.

I bared by teeth, and told Mocha to get behind me. A voice spoke, a calm female voice. "Please, don't be scared. I have no intention of hurting you." The female wolf walked closer. Her brown eyes stared at me, But it didn't make me feel uneasy. In fact, it made me feel at complete ease. Could I trust this wolf? I've never trusted other wolves since we left our previous pack. There was something about this wolf, that didn't make me feel threatened.

"Who are you?" The female wolf spoke.
"I'm... Latte" I said hesitantly. I looked behind me at my sister, gesturing her to come forward. "This is my sister, Mocha. We were forced to leave our pack, and we've been travelling since." The wolf frowned at me, looking genuinly sad for us. "I am, indeed, very sorry for what you have been through. Please, may I escort you to my pack? We are known as The Trust Pack. Anyone may join us, so long as you don't turn on us. We rely on trust between our members, and we hope, if you choose to follow me, you won't betray that trust."

I nodded "Of course, thank you. We would appreciate joining. In exhange I will help hunt, but my sister cannot hunt. Is that.. is that okay?" I panicked after I'd said those words. I panicked for nothing, as the wolf smiled back at me. "Like I said, anyone may join us. We're not one to judge. If needed, I have wolves that can train your sister to hunt."
I sighed, relieved. We might finally have a place to call home. "My name is Lucy, by the way. Come, I'll show you the way and introduce you to the others."

My sister and I now live amongst The Trust Pack. Mocha is finally learning how to hunt. We both feel safe and at home. We couldn't feel any more lucky than right now, at this exact moment.
