The Runaways: Chapter One (Part Two)

Alright, here's part two.

     She woke up from her day dreaming and stopped.  When he stopped, he crouched down and hid in the grass and signaled Grace to do the same.  He whispered, “Don’t get too close to them, wolves don’t like to have humans nearby.”  Grace nodded her head.  She looked around her.  They were no longer in the small meadow by their house, as they had ran into the woods just behind the meadow. Seeing how it was late spring, the tree’s leaves and the tall grass were a deep, rich green.  Here and there, there were small patches of wild flowers.  Looking up, the sky was a perfect light blue, and a few fluffy clouds slowly rolled by.  Looking in front of her, she saw that she and Daddy were just a few steps away from a clearing of trees where a small cave stood.  She knew this place.  Once a year, a wolf pack that lived in these woods came here, for the alpha female to give birth to her new pups.  They would stay here for a couple weeks and, sure enough, they were here.  With a signal from Daddy, they slowly crawled closer to the clearing for a better look. 
There, in the clearing, Grace could see the entire wolf pack.  Her green eyes widened with joy and excitement.  There are the new pups!  She thought, seeing three young pups playing together. Laying down by the cave entrance was Misty.  Daddy had told her many times that she was the alpha female, but Grace gave her the name Misty because of her gray fur.  Misty was staring at her and Daddy, making sure they knew they were not allowed to come any closer, and soon Grace got the message. Standing by Misty was Captain, the alpha male, according to Daddy.  His fur was a dull brown, but he was big, making him look powerful.
“Where are the others?”  Grace whispered.  She remembered that there were three more wolves in the pack, but they weren’t there.  “They are most likely sleeping or hunting.”  Daddy whispered.
Before she could reply, she began to yawn.  He smiled.  “I think we better go home.  We would not want you to fall asleep in the woods.”
“But…” Grace began, but she was stopped by another one of her yawns.
“Don’t worry, we’ll come back tomorrow.”  He said.
“Alright…” She sighed, and the two of them got up and began walking back home, hand in hand, smiling.

Again, this is all that I could fit into this post.  And again, I will post more of this soon.  (BTW, sorry that the letters aren't all the same size and font.  I do not know why it is doing this.)
