'What?!' He thought. 'Where am i?!' He opened his eyes but saw nothing, he couldnt even see his paw in front of his face.
'I need to get out of here!' At once he started tossing and turning. He pressed his fore paws against something and pushed, it seemed to flex a little.
'Maybe if i push hard enough.' He wondered, then closed his eyes and planted his rear paws again something and started to push again this something.
'Come on!' He thought, gritting his teeth and pushing even harder. 'I cant stay in here forever!'
Then he heard a crack, and a pretty loud and reverberating one at that. For some reason it seemed to resonate in his head. He opened his eyes once more and saw a small, light emiting crack seemingly floating right above his forepaws.
'Yes!' He thought and started to push on the crack.
He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth again, seeing as this had worked last time. He heard more and more cracks, though these didnt reverberate as much as the first one. Then he felt, or rather stopped feeling, pressure on his forepaws. He once again opened his eyes, and this time saw a hole about the size of his head.
'Now to jump through.' He thought as he crouched, then closed his eyes and sprung up toward the hole. He burst through the hole and heard gasps around him, but he didnt care, he was finally free. However this didnt last as he suddenly came to an abrupt stop, feeling something pull on his neckfur.
He opened his eyes and immediately closed them again as the light was overwhelming. After a few seconds he felt his paws touch the ground, then his neckfur stopped being pulled on. He slowly and tentatively opened his eyes again and, after his eyes finally adjusted to the light, saw a big, brown creature with a large, cream colored mane.
Something in him seemed to recognize it and he loudly exclaimed; "Mom!"
"Hello there little one." She quietly said back, though she seemed on the verge of tear while doing so. He didnt think much of it and simply ran toward her and curled up against her belly.
He then looked at her with a smile and got a large lick on the forehead in return. He then heard someone giggle a small bit away to his right but suddenly felt too tired to even look up. Instead he just laid his head down and happily fell asleep.

He woke up, filled to the brim with energy. He let out a little yawn and with it a cute little noise. As he blushed, he once again heard a giggle to his right a little ways away. Which, now that he had enough energy to think, he was starting to like. He quickly sat up and whipped his head around to locate and look at the source.
He found it looked like his mom but smaller, about his size, and somehow better looking. He saw it was sitting, had a contagious smile and a face that he couldnt get out of his head. He just stared at it, half shocked and half taking all of it in. Until it giggled again and then rolled over laughing.
He also started laughing, though he didnt know why. Then he saw it had a tail, he stood up and walked a little toward it. He looked at it and then looked behind him, and saw he also had one. He went over to grab it but just before he got it, it moved away. He crouched and slowly approached it, waited a little, and then pounced at it. But again it moved away just before he got it.
Soon he was running around in circles chasing his tail, all the while the laughing continued. After a while he was so close he knew he had it and leapt for it. However, just like last times, it moved away at the last second and he was left flying through the air once more.
He looked in front of him and saw he was heading straight for the other eevee. Which he recognized it, himself and his mom as for some reason. He saw it look up right before he closed his eyes and crashed into it.
He felt them roll a bit and then come to a stop. He opened his eyes and saw his tail dangling right above his face.
He quickly grabbed it and yelled; "Gotcha!" He then heard more laughing below him and looked down. He saw he was on his back on top of the other eevee. He quickly got up and off of it.
"Oh, im sorry... Uhm..." He realized he didnt know its name. It took a while before it realized it too.
"Angel, and its okay. Your funny." She said while giggling. He only just realized she was female.
"Whats your name?" She asked. He thought about it for a second.
"Night." he suddenly heard behind him.
"Hey Night, wanna play?" He wanted to look back but got distracted by Angel asking him this.
"Sure" Night said. "But what should we play?"
After a second of thought, Angel said; "how about tag?"
"...Whats tag?" Night asked.
"Its a game where i chase you to touch you and when i do, you're it and you have to chase me!" Night thought about it for a second.
"Okay!" He said.
She walked over to him and tapped him lightly on the shoulder before yelling; "Tag!" And running away. He was confused for a second but then realized he was now it and had to chase her. But just as he was about to run after her, his stomach rumbled.
He heard Angel giggle and looked at his mother, who smiled and nodded at him to come over. He came over and she grabbed a berry and put it in front of him. He ate it as fast as he could, making a mess of himself and not even noticing Angel come over as well and also recieving a berry.
Once he was finished he got picked up by his mom and she put him right next to her before starting to groom him. Night started protesting by squirming, trying to escape her grasp, but it was useless. Instead he looked around at their den.
It was a pretty spacious den with a foodpile that was stocked up nicely, a large single bed made out of grass and ferns that seemed recently picked and an entrance tunnel that he couldnt see the end of. The entire den was nice and round, and seemed freshly dug. He could hear what seemed to be either rain or a waterfall outside.
He could also hear something else coming towards them from outside the tunnel. He realized these were pawsteps.
'Someone's coming' he thought and looked at the tunnel as he saw a shadow approaching. He looked at it both scared and excited to meet someone new.
As it came into the den he saw it almost actually was a shadow. It was completely black except for a blue circle on its forehead, blue rings on its ears, a blue ring around its tail and blue circles on its shoulders and thighs. It was a bit larger than mom and completely dry meaning it wasnt raining so it hadto be a waterfall outside.
"Dad!" He heard Angel yell, and then saw her dash towards it and wrap her paws around its neck.
'Dad?' he thought.
"Hey there Angel, did you sleep well?" It said before it licked her on the forehead.
"Ofcourse i did, look dad!" She said pointing at Night.
"Oh, well hello Night, did you have a nice sleep too?" Night thought about it for a sec. 'How could i rate my sleep, when im asleep and dont know whats happening?' He thought. He shrugged and guessed he did since he was so full of energy when he woke up.
"Uhm... I guess..." He said.
"Good." it simply said back with a smile. Night hesitated to ask it something but did it before it was too late.
"Are you my... Dad?" He asked.
"Hmm hm." it sounded a little unsure but Night just ignored it and ran over to him.
"Hi dad" he said as he nuzzled his father.
His father nuzzled him back simply saying; "Hi".
After that it was time for introductions. He already knew about Angel but learned that she was born just a couple hours before he was. His fathers name was Light, and his mothers was Cream. They said they've lived here for almost a month now, which explains everything seeming to be freshly made.
After that he played tag with Angel for the rest of the day. She was a little better than him at first but he quickly learned her tricks of evasion and, since he was slightly faster, was able to compete nicely for his first time.
He also realized however, that it was a tiring game to play and at the end of the day, after getting another berry, curled up against his mom, who was curled up against his dad, and felt Angel curl up against him. He didnt mind though, and actually seemed to like it. He didnt know why, but at the moment he didnt care, as he calmly fell asleep to the soft rythmic breathing motion of his mothers belly.

For a couple days this is how things went. But then Angel and Night were finally allowed outside of the den. They werent complaining about wanting to go outside, but Cream and Light could see they were itching to go and explore.
Cream and Light sat together just outside the entrance to their den. Their pelts touching as they watched over Night and Angel, who were happily exploring their surroundings.
First thing Night did was go left to check out the waterfall he had been hearing since he was born. He saw it went up quite a bit, but was surprisingly quiet for its height. From there it was a small creek into the woods, which they werent allowed into yet.
"Wow" he said "thats a tall waterfall".
"Yeah" he heard Angel say beside him. He suddenly heard a small splash and looked to the right to see that Angel had jumped into the little creek.
"Come on Night!" He looked over his shoulders at his parents, who were still watching them. It didnt seem like they minded Angel jumping in the creek so he went in after her.
It wasnt a very deep creek, only barely touching Nights belly fur. So his parents didnt really have anything to worry about. He suddenly felt a splash of water wet his fur and then heard a giggle from Angel. He looked to the right again and saw Angel splash some water at him a second time. He growled playfully and splashed some water back.
Soon enough they were both fully soaked from the water battle they had. The victor wasnt clear, but both cubs insisted that they themselves had won. In the end they just called it a tie. When the sky started to become more pink or red than blue, they got out of the creek and shook off what they could. Which wasnt much since their pelts were like sponges.
They walked back to their parents, who were nuzzling each other lovingly. They walked up to them and got groomed by them before they were let in the den. Night got groomed by Light and Angel got groomed by Cream. After that everyone went inside and had a berry or two before they all curled up against each other and fell asleep.

Night woke up in the middle of the night, somehow feeling like he had to go outside. He looked around him, everyone was still asleep. So he tried to get out from in between Cream and Angel as quietly as possible, without waking anyone up. He slowly stood up and jumped over Angel.
He landed without a sound and looked around to make sure everyone was still peacefully asleep. After double checking he again felt something pull on him to go outside. He looked toward the entrance and swore he saw a shadow in the moonlight quickly disappearing.
He stood there for a second before feeling that tug to go outside again and slowly walked through the long tunnel. As he carefully stepped outside he quickly looked left and right, checking for anyone or anything. After he saw nothing but the waterfall to his left, he fully stepped out of the tunnel and looked up at the moon. He looked at it in awe, it was a full moon and in his eyes it was amazing.
"Wooow" he softly said, he felt like he could stare at it for hours. Which he was doing until he heard what appeared to be a twig snapping nearby in the woods. He quickly looked to the right and stared at where he heard the sound.
"Hello?" he said quietly. "Who's there?" He just kept staring for a minute, until he had convinced himself that it was probably nothing. But just as he was about to turn around, he heard quick receding pawsteps, as if whatever it was is running away.
"Hey!" He yelled, which he cursed himself for right after. He quickly looked around into the den to see if anyone had awoken, luckily it seemed not to be the case. He looked back at where he heard the sounds one more time before staring at the moon again. He didnt know why, but he was somehow attracted to it.
After watching it for what seemed like a couple minutes he turned back and headed into the den. Telling himself he would go out at night again some time soon. As he walked into the den, he could tell Angel was cold, he didnt know how he knew, but he knew. He quickly and nimbly jumped over her and landed quietly in between Cream and Angel, then curled up and fell asleep.
