Ashi let out a howl. Her small paws lifted her. She turned to her shadowed mother. She to let out a howl and closed her eyes. Her father tossed her out of the den. Ashi was so young, all her fur hadn't grown in yet. In fact, she was just born. Ashi raced out of the camp, turning away from her dark father and dead mother, and watched in horror and he smiled as he raked his teeth into her mother's dead body. Turning away, she ran to the forest.
