were to die Aniu. Who would take my place. Your mother is no longer here, and neither are your siblings. Surely this DOG could not lead an entire pack of wolves when he just came from the safety of his warm and cozy home. " I willing to try sir." Micah said firmly. Finn stared at him and shook his head. He said to Aniu, " Well then. I guess its settled. I hope your selection in your mate would be the right one." Then he walked away. Aniu and Micah followed.

 A few months later, everything went very smooth. Micah and Aniu were expecting their pups soon. The wolf pack were living very well. One day, Micah and Twister went back to the old barn where they used to live with all of their friends. Micah missed them. He missed them very badly. Excpecially his old best friend Jakel. He was liked a brother. He rolled on the hay next to the heater like he used to do with his friends. Then he heard footsteps outside. He perked his ears and listend. Twister stopped to and listend. It wasnt a dog or any other animal. It was a human. It opened the barn door and stepped in. Micah reconized it was the man who killed his friends and people. The man didnt have a gun with him this time. But from the looks of it he had ropes and shock collers in his hand. Micah lookde startled and so did his friend Twister. They tried to make a run for it through the hole, but when twister ran through, a shock coller was slapped on him. He struggled, and then was zapped. He fell to the floor, and the other man hit him with his foot on his side. Twister yelped and layed still. The man dragged him to the truck and put him in the cage and locked the door. Twister looked at Micah with sad eyes and mouthed the word, "run..." Micah scooted back and was suprised that he hadnt heard the other man sneak up behind him. He tried to bite him, but the man put the other shock collar on and zapped him hard. Very hard. Micah had never felt pain like this. Then he was smacked in the side with a shovel and he couldnt breath. The breath was knocked out of him. He was thrown into the other cage and he hit his head against the back. He was thinking of Aniu. Her beutiful coat and glisting eyes. Them together. Their puppies. Then everything went black.

~~~~~~

Aniu awoke the next morning with Micah still missing. Her father said they needed to leave before the hunters started to hunt in the area. She pleaded him to hold on just a week more. Two weeks. A month. whatever. He looked at her then said," one week." A week later, Micah was still missing. She cried and knew something must have happend to him. He wouldnt just leave her. She knew it. She just did. She gave birth to her pups that night. They were beutiful. She wish she could thank Micah for absolutly beutiful puppies. But some how she knew, she will never get to. Three days later, one of the pack  came to Aniu's den. He said," It is very dangerous now Aniu. We must leave. the hunters are coming right now. You must leave your pups if you want to live." " NO!" she screamed. She looked at her puppies. One brown male, one white male, one grey female, and one dark brown female. She named the grey female, Drea, the dark brown female, Avani, the white male, Mayson, and the brown male......" Lets GO!!!'' the pack member said he called two other people over and they grabbed  three of the pups and ran. Aniu got up and grapped the brown male and ran. They ran and ran and they were close to a river, she knew it. But it was frozen with ice and ok to cross. Or so she thought. She ran across, but in the middle, the ice cave under and the lower body plunged into the icy water. she scratched and attempted to pull her self out of the water and she made sure her pup was ok. She wish that never happend, now her feet will freeze and she will be really cold. It will be very hard to run. Outside of the forest she saw a desertde boat and ran torward it. She placed the pup in an old blanket and groomed her feet to warm them up. She heard four gunshots and she dreadfully thought they were her pups. Silent tears streamed down her cheeks.

~~~~~~

She then saw three hunters walking torward the the ship. She nuzzled her pup and wispered," Ill always be with you no matter what." She turned and jumped off the side of the boat and led the hunters away. She stopped near town in a small meadow and licked her paws again. There was fog all around and she was sure she lost them. She excited and ran back torward the froest. She would come back and get her pup later. As she was running she heard a gun fire and she looked and it hit her in the shoulder and went right into her heart. She collapsed and lay there in the snow. Her last thoughts were of Micah being a good father and him restling with their children. All of them as a happy family. She smiled at the thought and breathed her last breath. " I love you Micah and my son....." and she died.
