When I woke the next morning, I looked over to where I laid Natascha down last night. My eyes were still shut. They beckoned me to sleep. "Good morning Natascha." My eyes clamped shut as I pried them open. I blinked a few times so I could see clearly. Then that's when I saw Umay was gone. I looked around franticly for her. "Natascha? Natascha!" I jumped to my feet and ran deeper into the cave. I could smell and hear water. Is she hurt? Is she thirsty? All of those thoughts drived me to think the worst.

When I reached the water I looked around. I spotted Natascha curled up in a corner. "Natascha!" I ran over to her. I bent down onto my knees and examined her. She looked ok. Why was she here. She lifted her head and looked at me. Her tail gently wagged. She looked like she had just got worked to death. I looked over to her other side to make sure she wasn't hurt. Oh my god! Puppies! I screamed in my head. I was in shock. How could this be? "Are... Are these your puppies Natascha?" She wagged her tail happily as if saying yes. I pet her head. I watched all four puppies crawl onto each other trying to find their way. "Can I pick one up?" Natascha rolled over a bit as if saying you can take all of them.

I picked up the biggest one. I checked to see if it was a boy or a girl. Girl. "We will call her Veil." Weil had a litle spot around her right eye.

I picked up the next biggest one and again it was a girl. "She will be Ruby." Both of Ruby's ears were a solid brown.

I picked up the next biggest one and again it was a girl. "Is there any boys?" Natascha wagged her tail. "We will name this girl Diamond." Diamond had a spot on her rear that was shaped like a diamond.

I looked at the smallest one. The runt. "Maybe this one will be a boy." I looked to see if it was a boy. It's a boy. "We will name him Miso." Natascha wagged her tail happily.

Veil, Ruby, Diamond, and Miso. What a team.
