The loud bang of thunder claps against the heavy rainstorms in the sky, with huge flashes of lighting as well, causing the woman to cover herself a bit but she wasn’t too afraid of it. However Tori was not a happy otter, tears welled up her eyes by the many sounds, the heavy rain, the crazy windy and the messy diaper she had was not helping at all. She began to cry, clutching on her plushy and blanket for dear life. Her little shirt was loose as the wind blows against the air, you could almost see her little tummy cage.

The Arctic wolf quickly turned to the baby otter, her eyes felt sadness seeing her condition. She undid her jacket so she can carry her, luckily she had a sweater on herself, then wrapped her jacket around the baby and carefully scooped her in her arms, holding her against her chest and gave her a little bounce.

“Shhhh…shhhh-shhh.. it’s okay… it’s okay little one. I’ll take you home with me.. this storm is crazy..” The wolf said, looking in the box for something else while the baby otter just continued her crying. She spotted a little note in a plastic bag, along with a cute heart shaped locket, picking up the plastic bag and placed it in her pocket. The wolf held the baby otter protectively and began to run from the store, she didn’t care if she gets sick but this baby needed lots of attention.

Little Tori just held onto the woman as she cried, everything was scaring her and she was so hungry, all she wanted was a nap or anything! Covering herself in the wolf’s jacket to protect her little head from the storm. Time was quickly slipping by to her, thinking the running felt like hours but was really 30 minutes.

The Arctic wolf reached to a gorgeous apartment complex, walking upon a heavily guarded gate as she entered her pin code and ID, hearing a little beep as a door beside the gate automatically moved, she stepped inside and it quickly closes, finally making her way in the main doors to unlock a key and stepped inside. Breathing heavily to catch her breath, drenched from the heavy rain while carrying the now whimpering and calm baby otter.

“You’re safe now sweetheart… don’t you worry.” The woman said to the little girl, walking to the elevators and she entered a button, the doors opened as she stepped in and they closed. She pressed another button as the elevator takes them up top. While doing so. The wolf breathed heavily and sighed with relief, everything happening in a flash but relieved with everything is calm… she looked down at the baby otter who was still hugging her plushy for dear life, her eyes shut tight with little tear ducts streaming down her cheek.

“Ok Shia.. keep it together.. Phew… hey.. hey sweetheart.. it’ll be okay.. can you open your little eyes for me..?” She asked her softly, her finger gently stroked the otter’s cheek, wiping away the tear stain, she felt her finger as the otter held it close for dear life, slowly as Tori opens her eyes at Shia. Her face was puffy from crying and nose was stuffy and runny.

“That’s a good girl.. a very brave girl.. you are safe with me honey.. I will always protect you and take care of you..” Shia said, smiling warmly at the girl and even a little tear streamed down from her eyes, her face leaning close against the tiny otter’s head. “Mmm….” Tori mumbled shyly but weakly. “Mm…m..o…. Mo….m-m-m…mommy..?” The otter squeaked out a word.

Shia felt her heart instantly melt from hearing that word, she wanted to leap for a little joy but kept her composure, however the tears kept going down her cheeks and she smiled happily, with a shaky voice she said; “Yes baby girl… Mommy is right here..”

Finally the elevator doors opened, Shia looked up as she stepped outside from the doors and walked down a hall, standing at a door and began to unlock it, then making her way inside as she looked at Tori.

“This is your new home baby girl..”
