Waya leaped off the edge and soared. She had eyes open as she soared through the air, hoping to make the edge. The edge got closer and closer. She made it, but her paws slipped and gripped the edge with all her might. She looked below and shivered at the fall. "Oh, please. I don't want to die!" she cried and scraped her hind legs on the face of the cliff, trying to give her a boost, but it was futile. She hadn't eaten and had no strength. "No, please!" she cried.
She could feel the earth slip from her front claws. She began to fall down, the earth giving way. She was unable to cling to the cliff and she fell off the cliff edge. Time seemed to slow down as she plumted toward the river below. She closed her eyes. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I..never meant to hurt anyone." as her clash with the water drew nearer, tears streamed down her cheek. "Goodbye Aiden, Felan and Feline. I'll give mom and dad your love. Goodbye Truck. I love you." she said and she crashed into the river.
The current tossed her this away and that, scraping her the bottom of the river. She banged against rocks and fallen trees. She strived to keep her head above the water. As she gulped for air, water was shoved down her throat, but she coughed out as much as she could. She paddeled heavily against the current.
She howled for help, but there was no bank, only sheer cliffs. She was shoved under the water. She banged against a sharp rock, tearing her leg and side. The water turning red. Fish fled as the large wolf was thrown into their paths. She shoved her head above water and took as much air as possible it made her lungs hurt. She turned and widen her eyes as her head smashed against a rock.
Unknowingly she was headed toward a waterfall. She fell into unconsiousness and as she neared the fall the river pushed her underwater and she fell over the fall, about a fifthty foot drop. Below that was a calm waters. She fell over and splashed into the waters below...

Two Days Later...
Truck was laying on a rock. He stared at the river in front of him. He sighed and hung his head. It didn't make sence. Waya had never attacked a pack member, why now? He knew what Zena had said. He sighed. He still didn't want to take a mate, even though his brother Moose told him to, but he never did.
It had been two days since Waya was exiled. His thoughts kept traveling back to her. He had a dream that she had fallen over a waterfall to her death, he told his brother.
"Might as well." Moose said. "She really didn't belong, leave her go to a female that would appreciate you. Forget about Waya-Of-The-Hene pack." he added.
Truck shook his head of the words. "I can never forget about her." he said and layed his head down.
Zena frowned when she spotted Truck at the river. "What have I done? I took away his love. He'd never love even with Waya dead." Zena whispered to herself. She now felt remorse to what she had done to Waya.
Zena walked off, her head down and she layed against a tree and fell asleep.

Waya groaned. Her body was wet and bloody. "Uh." she whimpered and opened her eyes slowly. She whined at the light and opened them fully. Her body was hurting all over. She tried to move, but they screamed at her "DON'T MOVE!" she cried and layed down. The roar of the waterfall filled her ears. She now remembered what had happened. She was thrown over a waterfall. Zena. Zena did this. She made Truck exile her. She made her leave the pack, she'll pay.
Waya stood up and she washed herself. She groaned and looked around, trying to determine where she was. She scented the air. She was about a days travel from the LupisTooth territory. She sighed and started toward a valley, where she could get some food.
She walked into the valley and looked around. She smiled when she saw two loner wolves eatting a caribou. Waya smiled and she ran at them howling. The two wolves looked up and bared their fangs at hr as she approached.
Waya growled and barked at them. The two attacked her. She grabbed one by their leg and bit down hard and tossed it into the other one. They both yelped and fled, leaving their kill.
Waya walked over to her kill and began to eat it. She looked up, hearing large paw steps. A shiver ran down her spine when she saw what was ponderously walking toward her. A small black bear lombered toward her. Waya snarled. She had not had a meal in weeks, she wasn't about to lose it to a bear. She stood in front of the kill and bared her fangs at the bear.
The bear reared up on it's hind legs and roared at the female wolf. Waya snarled and leaped at the bear. The bear swung it's large paw, that was as big as her head and the bear's paw slammed into her side and she fell to the ground with a yelp. The bear fell down onit's paws and walked toward her again.
Waya snarled and lowered herself to the ground and leaped at it again. She leaped on it's face and dug her fangs into the back of the bear's head. The bear snarled and dug his claws into her flesh and threw to the ground.
Waya layed there on the ground for a few minutes, then got up and leaped again on the bear and dug her fangs into it's throat. The bear grabbed her and threw her once again, but instead of staying the bear fled, not really wanting the kill now.
Waya panted heavily. She layed there a few minutes and finished her meal. After she ate and made her way toward her pack, fire burning in her eyes.
Day Later...
A howl broke the silence in the LupisTooth pack den site. They all looked up.
Truck turned his head, as well as Zena and Moose.
A black wolf stood at the woodline. It was Waya. A smile broke Truck's lips. She had returned.
Zena turned purple with rage. How dare she return! she growled and stood up.
Waya walked toward the pack and stood a few feet in front of Truck and Zena. "I've returned because I was framed. I never got to tell you the truth. Zena attacked me because she wanted you." Waya said.
Truck growled at Zena and she submitted to him. "I'm so sorry, Waya." he said and nuzzled her.
Zena snapped and she attacked Waya. Waya ran through the forest, but she wasn't fleeing. Zena snarled and sped after Waya, attacking her heels..."I'm going to kill you!" she barked at Waya.
