kept up with him as they both starting running through the forest together, Koara easily keeping up Conan despite that she was smaller then he was.

‘You’re pretty fast.’ She said smiling as she slowly but surely ran past him. Conan watched her for a moment before smiling and catching up. She was pretty fast he thought to himself as he ran as fast as he could, neither wolf or dog tiring out as they did.

They suddenly left the forest and ran on to the glacier were they both slowed down as it started to snow. ‘You’re pretty quick yourself.’

Conan said trying to hide that he was starting to get a little tired. Koara smirked as she walked towards the glacier edge. Smiling Conan quickly followed till they were standing on the glacier edge over looking the ocean. ‘I’ve never seen a wolf quite like you…’ Koara said softly.

‘What do you mean?’ Conan said looking at her as the rough ocean threw up a spray of water in to their faces.

‘Why are you so interested in us? And why do you love to run? You were actually keeping up with me.’

‘What are you talking about I could have gone for hours and besides you were only just keeping up with me!’ Conan said holding his head up high looking at Koara who simply laughed to herself. He suddenly looked away from her and out to the ocean a frown coming over his face.  ‘What did you do with the wolves your master caught?’ Conan asked looking at her wanting a real answer. Koara simply sighed as she looked truthfully up at him.

‘We took them away because my master and others are coming…’

‘I-I don’t understand’ Conan said looking confused. ‘This is the Mountain Wolves pack land what are you going to do with them?’

‘Is this your pack?’ Koara asked.

‘No…’

‘Then why does it matter?’ Conan frowned as he turned away from her and looked out to the snow capped mountains behind them.

‘This land borders my packs land and I don’t want anything to happen to my pack or any other wolves in this land.’

‘I can’t stop them…’ Koara said truthfully.

‘Yes you can. Why doesn’t your team stop running why can’t you just run your master away from here?’

‘It’s not that simple’ Koara said frowning. Before Conan could say anything he heard a howl in the distance that made his ears perk up to listen.  ‘What is it?’ Koara asked looking at Conan who was looking back in to the forest.

‘It’s the Mountain pack they must have found me…’ Conan said quickly as he ran away from the glacier edge towards his own territory but as he was running he could hear a strange call of barks which made him stop and look at Koara who was looking back into the forest.

‘What’s that sound?’ Conan yelled back at Koara who looked worried as she looked back at him before running away into the forest leaving Conan alone on the glacier ‘The Mountain Pack must be…’ Conan suddenly realized as he turned back around to follow Koara knowing that the Mountain Pack must have found where her team were sleeping. ‘Koara wait it’s the Mountain pack….!’ Conan yelled running back after her.

Chapter 6 Reality

Conan ran as fast as he could through the forest after Koara who had disappeared from his view. He knew the howl he had heard very well because since his pack bordered the Mountain Pack he often heard them calling out for each other in the night.

As Conan ran in to a small clearing he skidded to a stop as he looked in front of him to see that all the Huskies were awake and defending the small tent as two large wolves walked casually towards them. Looking around he quickly tried to find Koara not really worried about the other Huskies and when he found her he saw that she was standing amongst the huskies trying to warn off the approaching wolves.

Growling Conan instantly ran forward towards the group and stood in front of the huskies facing the two wolves who looked surprised. One of the wolves was almost completely black except that he had a white splash across his face and tail. The other was a light brown color with beady black eyes that Conan could feel watching him.

‘Your not one of these muts…’ The black wolf said as he sniffed the air obviously picking up his scent as well as the Glaciers packs scent.

‘You’re from the Glacier Pack.’ The brown one growled stepping forward towards him.

‘Move aside so we can deal with these dogs and run back to your pack before we kill you as well.’ The Black wolf said standing beside the brown one looking at Conan who still hadn’t moved.

‘I’m not moving and you better leave.’ Conan growled barring his teeth at the wolves who seemed highly amused at his antics.

‘Those pathetic creatures have taken away the River Pack and they’ve come for us…’ The brown said starring at the huskies who all seemed to back off looking at them as they stepped forward.

‘I told you not to move or else.’ Conan said in a low tone as the huskies behind him looked scared and confused. The black wolf went to walk forward but Conan quickly jumped forward snapping at him causing the black wolf to jump back surprised.

‘So be it wolf…’ The black wolf growled as both he and the brown wolf leapt forward at Conan who had no where to go because of the huskies behind him. Conan may be bigger then the huskies because he looked like a wolf but these wolves were the same size and perhaps stronger then him because he was younger then they were.

Conan was a powerful runner and had strong legs but his real fighting skills hadn’t been tested since he play fought with his friends at his pack.

Before he could react the brown wolf jumped on his back and the black wolf leapt at his face hitting Conan’s face causing them all to lose balance and fall to the snow. Conan managed to push the black wolf off him but the brown wolf easily avoided his attacks. Snapping at the brown wolf Conan managed to catch its shoulder causing it yelp slightly as it jumped back away from him.

The black wolf leapt on Conan and was so heavy that Conan couldn’t lift himself back up on to his feet as the brown wolf walked up to him showing its large pearly white teeth.

‘I’m going to enjoy this traitor.’ The brown wolf was about to latch on to Conan but before he could Koara leapt forward knocking him away from Conan who managed to stand up knocking the black wolf to the ground who was stunned with surprise.

The brown wolf jumped back up at leapt at Koara who looked worried but Conan quickly leapt at the brown wolf pushing him away from Koara who ran back to the other huskies who seemed to cheering Conan on as he turned to black wolf who was now on his feet.

Before any of them could attack they heard a sound coming from the tent and the black wolfs intentions soon changed as he ran towards the tent the huskies all jumping away except for Koara who kept her stance protecting her masters’ tent.

‘Koara move!’ Conan called out as he ran past the brown wolf who was surrounded by the other huskies as he ran up to Koara just as the black wolf leapt at her and tent behind her. The black wolf collided with Conan
