Two moons later and Takhi, Baeleh, and Jolahn have been out and about already. The beautiful season of autumn had arrived and the cool breeze was pleasing. The leaves had begun to change color from green to orange red and gold. Only a few had dropped from the trees, but not all. The world was preparing for winter, and soon the pack would have to too. The pups had been weaned off milk and predigested meat and now feasted on fresh flesh like real wolves. Their eyes had opened long ago and they already understood their basic language. They traveled a few or more miles when they were only six weeks old.
Madge had to guide them to their new den site where the pack normally resided. They already had a taste for the wood and the outside world. The pack was now out hunting while the pups stayed behind under the supervision of the pup sitter, Pollen.
Takhi, already, was an outcast. She was different in fur and eye color. While her right eye was blue and her left eye was green, both Jolahn and Baeleh had gold eyes. While her siblings sported a coat of glossy grays and silvers, hers remained raven black. She was also smaller and thinner than they were and for that, they felt they had power over her. Apparently, they did, as they would tease her.
"Your mother was really a jackal! Our mother just felt sorry for you when she found you in the dirt! Even your mother didn't want you either," Baeleh taunted.
"But dad wouldn't have pups with a jackal. Her dad must've been a rat," Jolahn laughed.
Takhi gritted her teeth, ready to defend herself. She turned around and leaped onto Jolahn. Both growled and glared into each other’s eyes, fierce with rage. Jolahn bit down on Takhi's ear. She yelped and jumped off of her brother. Takhi fell back, touching her paw to her ear, wincing in pain. Baeleh leaped onto Takhi from behind and swatted her in the face with her paws.
Again, Takhi yelped and pulled herself out from under her sister. Both siblings continued to tease her.
"Awe, did I hewt your wittle ear? Why don't you cry to your jackal mother," Jolahn mocked.
"Yeah! Maybe you can both eat your rat of a father for dinner," Baeleh shouted. Takhi's ears fell back in sadness. She didn't fit into her family. She was happy to see both her brother and sister walk away. Pollen padded over. She didn't notice the sibling rivalry happening around her. However, she did take serious notice to Takhi's attitude. The fact that she had already isolated herself made her worry about the pup. She sat next to Takhi.
"What's wrong, my dear?" Takhi looked up at her blankly, but with tears in her eyes.
"They keep making fun of me. They said my mother was a jackal and my father was a rat."
"They are only having fun. I'm sure they didn't mean anything by it. Don't take it personally." Pollen stood up and padded away. Takhi didn't think Pollen was too interested with her. Pollen didn't help her feel any better and her lack of interest showed as she ran over to Baeleh and Jolahn to roughhouse with them.
Takhi was all alone.
