                                Six Months Old

One day,young Silver was walking down to the river.She trotted over to her favorite log,and walked out onto the end.She was terribly hungry,and couldn't resist trying to catch a salmon swimming next to the log.Silver got down as far as she could,and swiped her paw through the water."Dang it."She yipped."It would have been easier if I could see it when I'm crouched down."This time she stood strate up and tryed again.She lost her balance and fell into the water!"Oh,no!"She yelped.She put her paws on the log and pulled herself up as hard as she could.In the struggle,the log had slipped loose from the river bank,and was now drifting down stream.She had managed to pull herself up,but now there was no way she could get back to land.Silver looked up at her white/grey wings,witch at the moment matched the color of her fur.Her mother told her that when she was 8 months old,her fur would be ither black or white."Mom says don't try to fly,your wings won't be stong enough untill your a year old...what do I do..."Silver mumbled.She looked around frantically,for someway -besides flying- to get to land.She had been searching for at lest a hour,all the while the log seemed to be speeding up,as if chaseing somthing,when she looked ahead to see a gaint water fall!Once again the log sped up."No..."she whisperd.Silver closed her eyes as the log got colser and closer to the waterfall.She new she had to fly.She pushed off as hard as she could,and soared up into the wind.

She opened her eyes and relized,little by little,she was falling.She kicked her paws franically for the slitest touch of ground, and landed-not quit so gracfully- on her rear,bounced,and shook her self as hard as she could.She stood up,and looked around.All she saw was the water fall,some fallen trees,a big cave with huge rocks next to it,and a owl circleing over head."The little wolf was having fun.Untill she slipped by the salmon  run.Now she's lost in my forest,Well done!Well done!"It crooned."What?"Silver asked."Being lost is not much fun.Unless your lost with someone."The owl hooted."I saw a pack across my forest.They heard you yelp,they will be hear soon.""You know,that didn't rythm."Silver said,amazed she was having a conversation with a owl.

"Who-o-o,said it had to-o-o,young wolf princess?""Well,you have a point ther--wait,did you say...princess?"She asked,alittle surprised."Well of course.Any fool can see,your the doughter of Star and Luna.Don't tell me you don't know  your own parents!?""Well I know Star's my dad's name,but mom...mom died after being attacked by a bear.""Haha!A bear you say?No,no!Luna was murdered by nonother than Zorro!!Star's brother!!!"Silver stood speachless."Well,let's see here...it must have been five or six months ago.Star was the alpha of the 'NorthWings' pack.Luna had just had her first litter of pups,and Zorro new to be alpha,he had to kill Luna and her pups,then Star.Worse yet,all the other wolves wanted Zorro to lead the pack!Star was so angry after Luna was killed,that he killed Zorro without hesitation.""Wow."Was all Silevr could manedge to say.suddunly,Silver heard a sound she had only heard once befor,a wolf howl.She through back her head and howled a long,low note."Well I must be going now."And with that,the owl flew away.Not five second after the owl left,a pack ten or elleven wolves emerged from the brush behind Silver."Well,I'll be a monkys aunt!It's Luna's girl!"Yipped a dark brown wolf."Naa,it couldn't be!""See for your self,Juneau!Wings and all it's all right there!""Step aside!"growled a low voice."You know how foolish it was to howl?You led us strate to you!""I couldn't help it!It just kinda came out,and--""And nothing.If you truly are the doughter of Luna,we have to kill you!""Jean!"barked a brown wolf,who had stomach that looked like it was snow becouse it was so white."Clear a path for our guest!""No,Lilac!Never!I'll never listen to a pup!"

"You will when I'm done with you!"Lilac yelled.and in an instant,she was on top of the wolf called 'Jean'.A dark brown wolf with a light brown stomach leapt out of the croud and landed next to Lilac."Do you need any help,Lilac?"He asked"Sure,Ajax.Just drag him out to the cave.It looks like somebody needs a little nappie-poo.Yes he does!"Lilac said in a baby voice.The wolves burst into laughter,including Silver,who was curantly rolling on the ground and crying becouse she was lauughing so hard!She cought a glimps of a redish/brown wolf walk forward a little,still laughing,stumble and fall,and hit his head on a rock.All the other wolves laughed harder now,even the red/brown wolf,who was on the ground with his paws on a bump on his head,laughing and crying.Silver didn't know if he crying becouse he was laughing so hard or if he was crying becouse his head hurt.She got up and stumbled over to the red/brown wolf.She manedged to choke bake her laughter to ask if he was allright."Yeah" he said,still laughing alittle"The name's Toboe."Nice to meet you,Toboe.I'm Silver."She said.Then she turned her atintion to Lilac,who looked to be the same age as herself."Thank you."Silver said."I asume your the alpha of this pack?""Correct,I am the alpha.But if you are the doughter of Luna,you are the rightful alpha,And I must step down."Silver looked at Lilac suprissed how wise she was for how old she was."Haha!!Just jokeing.I'm as big a goof ball as Toboe over there,who I saw you allready met."She said gestering to Toboe,who was still laughing and shoving his buddys around for mocking him."Any way,I'm Lilac.That wolf over there is Ajax,"She said pointing to the dark/light brown wolf."And there's Toboe.We are all the six month old pups in my pack.""Ok."Silver said."I'm Silver.

""So were are you staying tonight,Silver?"Lilac asked.Silver looked at the ground saddly."Well,you see,I'm.....I'm lost..."Silver explained what happend to her to get her were she was.She was half way through her story when she saw Jean getting ready to pounce on Lilac.She leaped over Lilac and landed on top of Jean.He looked up at her with couredly eyes.Silver bared her teeth and learched fowered as if to bite Jean.He closed his eyes and yelped,only to open his eyes to see teeth and a nose.He relized she hadn't really bit him and he began to blush."Next time you step out of line,I won't be as generous."Silver said through bared teeth.She jumped off of Jean back to Lilac."Now,where was I?"she said."Luna used to do that to...to you-know-who."Said an old grey wolf."You knew my mother?""Well of course.I also know that you are indeed her doughter.I remember when you were first born.Your mother named you first,and last.She had no time to name any other pups.She was killed along with the other pups.Star got there two minutes to late.You were the only pup he could save.By the way,I'm Lilly."*groan*Silver looked down at her stomach,and rememberd how hungry she was."Umm...by any chance...do you guys have any food?Not to be rude but...."Silver said."Of course we have food,Silver."Said Lilly."We allways have food for our alphas.""Alpha Silver.That has a nice ring to it."Silver thought."Well actally,we're rusty screwed when it comes to food."Lilac said."We were just about to move territories and--"Lilac was cut of in the middle of he sintence when she spoted a deer.

The deer was mulling around,grazing,munching,chewing.Honestly,Silver thought the deer knew they were there,it just didn't care.Suddunly,a young,possibly new-born deer stumbled out of the bush behind the doe.The doe looked up to check her sorroundings and noticed the good sized pack of wolves standing less than fifty feet away from her.In a panic,she fled from her baby and into the cave she was next to."Tod,Copper,Lilly,QuickSilver,and not Jean,go ahead and get the baby.Silver,Ajax,and Toboe,come with me."Lilac anouncced."Only those who bravely enter will be rewarded."Crowed a raven."Did that raven just talk?"Asked Lilac."You'll never find what your looking for.If the searcher were to find that wich is searched for,it would become a mere object."It said."Only those who bravely enter....who bravely enter...who bravely enter."The raven said the same words untill Silvers group entered the cave."Are you sure that we should let them eat the baby,I mean,that's kinda heartless,eating a baby deer."Silver said."Every things 'kinda heartless' when you're a wolf.We're just doing what we need to do to stay alive.Even though it may seem heartless,that's just the way it is."Lilac responded."So,it's like humans hunting wolves.It's cruel,but they're just doing it to survive."Silver said."Exacatacally!"Lilac said."Heheh.Exacatacally.Exacatacally.Exac-atac-ally. Exacatacally.EXACATACALLY!!!Ok I'm done now."Lilac said.Silver soon learned that if Lilac said a word she liked,she would repeat it over and over and over and over again.She was as -if not more- goofy than Toboe.

And Silver also learned that that was hard to do."We've past this tree befor."Toboe said saddly."We went left last time."Silver said.She began to walk to the right,and she tripped over a tree root.Toboe ran over  to her and got beneth Silver befor she hit the ground.Silver got off of Toboe and looked up at the tree."It might have been a oak tree."She said.She had to take a guess,for the tree was dead.All the wonderful green leaves had
