green leaves had fallen off and were now brakeing down into dust and dirt on the cave floor.The light brown coler had left the tree,and now it was in a state white like grey.The small group continued through the cave in search of the deer."So Silver,tomarrow,I can start training you to be alpha of the NorthWings pack."Lilac said."Great!"Silver yipped."But...Lilac...how did you get wings?If this really is my fathers pack...than you would have to be my sister.The owl said I was the only pup that surrvived."Silver asked"That's not importent right now."Lilac snapped."Oh,ok."Silver said,her head hung low.She looked up an saw the deer by yet another tunnle.The deer looked up and stared Silver strate in the eyes,then ran down the tunnle.The group moved on down through the tunnle,untill they came to two diffrent paths.They could go left or right.

"Silver,Toboe,you two go right.Me and Ajax will go left."Lilac said.Silver took off without hesitation,Toboe close on her heels.They stoped at a dead end,full of crystals and jewls of all kinds."Wow"Silver and Toboe said together.After gaping at the jems for two or three seconds,they relized the deer was next to them.Silver howled,and her beutiful voice rang through out the cave.She knew Lilac would be there soon.Silver lunged up at the deers throught.The deer reared in fear,and hit it's huge head on the ceiling.A small clod of dirt about the size of Silver's papa's paw fell from the ceiling,making a hole,all the jewls an jems and diamoneds lit up like the northern lights,casting casscades of color along the walls of the cave.The deer looked at the wall,and fell over dead. "Hey...I never knew I could see in color..."Toboe said."Yeah...me nether..."Silver said between breths.Toboe and Silver looked at each other,and it seemed as if they were reading each other's thoughts.Silver inched closer to Toboe.Toboe leaned fowred and was about to kiss Silver when...

"WOW!"a cry came from behind them."AMAZING!"Silver snapped out her trance and looked up at Lilac."Aww, how sweet!"She said."A romantic death seen!Wait...""Aw,lay off!"Toboe said."Aww,but you two soo young to be in love!!^^"Lilac chukled,puting her paws on Silver's shoulders."You heard Toboe!Now paws off me!"Silver growled softly."Aww,the little wofie lovebirds defending each other!How cute!"Silver could feel her blood begen to boil.She couldn't take this any longer!"I said paws off!!!!!"She yelled.She kicked Lilac off of her,grabbed Toboe and ran to the exit.Once she was out of the cave she stopped and looked at Toboe.She nuzzled him gentaly and said"Toboe,thank you for defending me.""Oh,it was nothing."Toboe said,now blushing."I know this place by the Firefly River,it's a cave for an entire pack with deer and caribou and bison,you'd love it there."He closed his eyes and named off everything he rememberd."Its right by the mountains,and there's a lake,and the ocean,the ocean is just wonderful!No humans ether!The best part is the Lunar Flowers!"He concluded."Ok,let's go!"Yipped Silver.Toboe led the way past rivers and mountains,and herds of caribou.There were eagle nests,and robins,but Silver's favorite by far were the blackcap chikidees.They were playfull and energetic and reminded her so much of Toboe.It took them three days and three nights to reach the FireFly River.And Toboe wasn't exgerateing when he said the river was 'right by the mountains.'Silver's eyes widend and her head darted from the mountains,to the cave,to the river.Toboe giggled at the site of her looking so amazed."The cave is about 100 to 150 yards away from the river."Silver stated"And the mountains are 500 yards away."

"How'd you learn that kinda stuff?"Toboe asked,alittle surpised."When you live with only you father,you have to learn allmost every thing."Silver said.She was so worried about her father,that she forgot that the cave was on the other side of the river."KALABANGA!!!!"Toboe yelled,jumping into the river.The resounding splash soaked Silver,and snapped out of her thoughts.She laughed,and jumped into the water.Silver and Toboe swam and splashed eachother all after noon.Finnally,they got out of the river,shook them selves of and got some dried grass for the cave.'The cave looks like a pack cave.'Silver thought.After they had the cave all set up,Toboe took Silver back down to the river.They lied on thier backs and watched the clouds roll by.Just talking.Not talking about any paticular subject.Just geting to know eachothers likes and dislikes.They talked about thier love of chewing fresh bones,and how they both hated humans and sguirrles.Silver couldn't help but giggle when she found out Toboe was affraid of cats.

Every now and then,they would stop and tell eachother what a surrtan cloud looked like,there was a wolf,a caribou,a fox,a wolverine,a bear,a raven,and of all things vile and discusting,a squirrel.Finnally,it was sun set.Toboe got up and walked to the river.Silver followed.The sun had turrned the river a perfect peach color."Wow."Silver said"It's buitfull.""Yeah...Buitfull."Toboe said,staring at Silver longingly.The two puppie's eyes cought,and Silver had a feeling unlike any any other.She didn't know what it was,but she loved it."Ahem."Silver looked up on the hill and saw Lilac looking down on her.Toboe nuzzled Silver,and left the two alone."Hi."Lilac said.Silver just scoffed and turned away."Look,I'm soo sorry about earlier...I'm just really stressed out,and I don't know why I took it out on you."Lilac laughed"I guess that kick in the gut woke me up and made me relize what I was doing."

"Oh,you think your stressed?Try living in a pack with two wolves!Try scavvinging out of humans trash!Try falling into a river and almost drownding!!"Silver raged."You're right."Lilac whimmped"I have know idea what your life is like.And I'm sorry."Lilac got up to leave."I really am sorry Silver..."She turned tunerd to go to the pack."Lilac!"Silver yelled after her"Stay here tonight.It's a three day run to the pack.Tomarrow,we move here."

Three Days Later

"Allright everyone!"Lilac anuocced"Silver is the new pack alpha!"The pack broke into cheers and wooting.The teens got together and howled.Silver climed to the top of the cave,and howled a long buitful howl.She closed her eyes and felt her chest vibrate with the note.Soon the entire pack was howling songs of joy and playfulness.The pack slept extremely well that night.Exept Silver.No matter how much she tried to sleep,that one little thought kept nagging her.Is Dad ok?She asked herself that a million times,at least.Lilac awoke in a jolt.She shudderd as she her dream came back to her.She looked at the cave exit and saw Silver looking at the stars pondering the answer to the quistion of her father."Hey."She said walking up to Silver."Hey.""Watcha' thinkin' about?"Lilac asked."My Dad."Silver replied."I'm really worried about him.He never was a very good hunter.I did most the work."Silver whispered.Lilac giggled."Well I'll tell you what,how about,tomarrow,after the hunting group returns,you could get a group together and go find him?""Well I'd like to...but I have to take care of the pack."Silver said saddly.

"Oh,we could leave that to Ajax!!He's strong enough.You should see his mussels!"Lilac mummbled to Silver.Silver started giggling,then burst out laughing."SHHHH!!!!"The majority of the pack hushed Silver."Sorry..."Silver said choking back giggles."Sooo,whatcha' think.?"Lilac asked."Your sure Ajax can handdle the pack?""Yup.""AND Jean?""DURR!!!""Well.....ok."Silver finally agreed to her plan.The next day,Silver,Lilac,Toboe,Lily,and Chester went out to find Star.They ran over to the river that Silver fell into,and ran south towerds her old den.She finnally found it,but it was torn to sheds.Silver's father had never found a cave,so he built thier den out of fallen pine tree branches.Silver Tilted her head back to sniff the air for his sent.Nothing.She looked to hte mountains,and about 50 yards away,she saw a puddle of blood."No....she whisperd.She ran over to it and sniffed it.The sent commfermed her worst fear.It was her father's blood.She looked to the mountains once again,and saw bloody paw prints leading up the moutains.She ran off with out a word.They were about 254 feet up,when finnally Silver saw somthing.

She heard coughing and wheezing,and looked towerd the source of the sound.There,in the first snow of winter,lied a body.She ran as fast as she could to it.She looked down and cried."It's your father,isn't it?"Lilac asked.Silver nodded.Lilac looked down at the light tanish brown wolf soaked in blood."L-Luna?"Star asked.He tried to open his eyes,but it was useless.Silver chuckled broken heartidly."No dad,it's me...Silver."She said."Ohh...Silver!"Star cried.He coughed again."Don't try to talk!"Silver scolded.Star finnally got his eyes open and stared up into Silver's navy blue eyes."You must be wondering....what happend to me.""Yeah."Silver said."I was.....attacked....by a wolf....named.....Jean."Slowly,the light began to leave his eyes.Silver knew there was no use yelling his name,like in all the movies.So she just lay her head down on his chest,and cried.She finnally got up and let out the saddest sounding howl she had ever heard.Lilac felt dull and sad,just as Silver did.And Silver noticed a tear run down Toboe's cheek.But he quickly wiped it away.Silver lead the way back to the pack,only to find Jean ordering them to move den locations."If we don't leave now,the opposeing pack will come and slaughter us all!!"He yelled."You..."Silver growled."YOU BASTURD!!!!!!"She yelled.She ran down from the hill like a lightning bolt,and jumped on top of the cave.Jean looked up at her smiling evily.She showed no sighn of pity,nor mersy.She jumped off the cave and Jean ran,trying to get out of her way.But to no avail.She grabbed his front leg,and pulled  him down.Silver began tearing into his silky white pelt,blood now staining her
