Buck walked into the camp leading his pack. Savage was right behind him.

"Thank you for agreeing to shelter us for the time being," Savage said.

"No problem. You took care of us. Now it's our turn to return the favor," Kate answered.

"Nevertheless, I thank you. Also, where will we be staying?"

"You think the cave will be big enough?" Humphrey muttered to Kate.

"I don't see why not."

"Alright." Humphrey turned to Savage. "You can stay in the cave with us."

Savage glanced at his pack. "You think we'll all fit?"

"You haven't seen our cave," Humphrey chuckled.

Humphrey led the two packs into the cave. He motioned to the tunnels around the room. "We haven't explored these yet, but they should provide good sleeping areas. We should probably explore further back and find out where they lead first. Buck, Rowel, Savage? Do you want to explore the caves with me and Kate?"

"Sure," Savage said. "That'd be great."

The five wolves went into the first branch. It got narrower and narrower until it was just a crack.

"Well that isn't any help," Humphrey muttered.

The next of the five branches opened up into a small cavern with a flat sandy floor. A few cracks in the ceiling let in fresh air and a small trickle of water. Humphrey sniffed it.

"Doesn't smell bad." He lapped some up. "Doesn't taste bad either. I think that this will be good for at least one room. How many of your wolves will fit in here?" he asked Savage.

"Seven or eight."

"How many are in your pack?"

"Fifteen."

"So about half fit in here."

"Yeah."

"How many pups?"

"Four."

Humphrey looked at Kate. "You think the kids would mind sharing their room? There's enough room for them all."

"They can deal," she laughed.

"Alright. So, that's twelve. Three of you can fit in the entrance to this cave, right?"

"Yeah."

"So for now, there is no point in exploring the other caves. We'll do that later."

"OK."

The exploration team walked back up the tunnel. Kate brushed Humphrey's shoulder. She whispered in his ear, "The kids will have someone else to play with now."

Humphrey laughed. "How much you wanna bet that Sean will get one of them with the trick he pulled on Aatu?"

"More than likely. Hey, I'll go tell the kids to make room for the others."

"Alright. See ya."

Kate trotted out of the cave towards where Aatu, Sean, and Emily were talking to the new pups.

"I'm Ashley," said the biggest of the pups. She was about half Kate's size, but double Aatu's size, with a spiky black mane and dark gray fur. Her eyes were a deep green.

"I'm Razor," said the biggest of the males. He was only a couple of millimeters shorter than Ashley, with a shorter version of her hair cut. His mane was gray, and his fur was a white color. His eyes were the deepest gold that Kate had ever seen.

"And I'm Sierra." She was a smaller version of Ashley, except that her eyes were sky blue.

"My name is Fang," said the smallest of the pups. He was a little smaller than Aatu, with a shaggy gray mane and fur a shade lighter.

"We're Aatu, Sean, and Emily," said Aatu, pointing to each of them in turn.

"Nice to meet you," said Sierra.

"Sorry to interrupt, guys, but I need your attention," Kate said.

The pups turned.

"Aatu, Sean, Emily, I need you to go make some more room in your hollow. These guys will be staying in there with you."

"Alright!" Fang said, punching Sean's paw.

"We'll help out," Sierra told Kate.

The seven pups ran off towards the cave, occasionally tripping over each other as they went. Humphrey sidestepped them just in time to keep from being knocked over.

"Well aren't they enthusiastic," he said to Kate as he walked out.

"They'll calm down eventually."

"I hope so," said Salty. He was laying on a rock that overlooked the stream. "I don't ever get a time to relax anymore. They're just running all over the place. Reminds me of us, Humphrey."

"I know. But did we really have that much energy?"

"Yeah. Remember the logs?"

"Oh yeah, definitely. We have some more of them in this place too. I'll show them to you later."

"Sweet."

Kate looked in the cave.

"Looks like they're all hitting it off wonderfully. I think Sean has a crush on Sierra."

"Oh boy, more romance," Humphrey laughed.

"You say that like romance is a bad thing," Kate huffed.

"No, but aren't they a bit young?"

"I guess. Well, I'll go get Savage's pack settled. You two just hang out."

"Alright. Good luck!" Humphrey said.
Chapter 12 up. Last one that I had already written. Gotta start writing more and drawing a little less.
