go!"

 Silver and Miksa race towards the cave.

Silver Moon: " Look at the size of it!"

 She opens her mouth to eat but Miksa doesn't let her,

Miksa: " What are you doing?"

Silver Moon: " I was about to eat breakfast."

Miksa: " The alpha always eats first. When he starts, the others can eat."

Silver Moon: " Oh, I didn't know."

 Soon enough, everyone is eating the caribou. When finished, Miksa pounces on Silver Moon.

Silver Moon: " Oh yeah?"

She flips him over and gets on him. They run around and pounce for the day. Diane looks at them, she smiles.

Diane: " I'm not surprised if they turn out to be mates."

 Diane calls Silver Moon for their lesson.

 A month has passed and Silver Moon has grown, the sun is starting to set but the whole pack is out. Silver Moon is a bit nervous.

Diane: " Don't worry. I'm sure you'll do fine."

Silver Moon: " That I hope."

 Alpha: " Silver Moon, the aurora has come and now is your time."

 She gulped and passed in front, the moon was up in the sky and all the wolves eyes started to glow, including Silver Moon's. She looked at them, her eyes being as light as her body. She sat down and looked at the moon, remembering her mother. The aurora danced around the sky as Silver started to sing. She sang with her heart, hoping her mom would hear her. Once finished, she put her head down and searched for Miksa, somehow, being near him always comforted her. then she walked by him to the cave.

Miksa: " You singed really well tonight."

Silver Moon: " Thanks. (she blushed)"

Miksa: " I've never heard anything like it."

Silver Moon: " Do you think the others liked it?"

Miksa: " There's no doubt about that, although Storm must be jealous."

Silver Moon: " *yawns* It's late, I should be at the cave."

Miksa: " Me too, see you tomorrow."

Silver Moon: " Night."

 Silver walked into the cave and lied down. She closed her eyes. The moon stood in the night with the aurora danced around it. It took the figure of a wolf. Then vanished in the aurora. The moon moved slowly and night turned day.

 

 

 

                       "Chapter five, Teenagers."

six months have passed ever since Silver performed in front of the pack. Two months ago, the pack has taken all their cubs hunting so they could observe.

Silver Moon: " Diane! Hurry up! Hurry up! Let's go! Now!"

Diane: " All right, come on, it's time to hunt."

Miksa: " Silver Moon! We're finally going to learn to hunt!"

Silver Moon: " I know! Isn't it exciting?"

Storm: " You know Miksa, I think you'd make a good hunter."

Miksa: " Uh, thanks."

Alpha: " Everyone! Let's go!"

Pups: " Yay!!"

 Soon eveyone in the pack is sniffing around an area.

Miksa: " You found something? *sniff*"

Storm: " *sniff* Not yet."

Miksa: " I was asking Silver Moon. *sniff sniff*"

Silver Moon: " *sniff* I think I got something."

 She runs into a bush, following the scent. Soon enough she returns barking.

Diane: " Silver Moon, what?"

Silver Moon: " I found a herd of deer!"

Alpha: " Lead the way."

  All the pack sees a big herd of deer grazing.

Alpha: " Very well. Miksa, Silver Moon, Storm and Diane will attack from behind and chase, the rest from the sides. If you see anyone hunting down a target, help him or her."

 All nodded and began the hunt. Diane and the others crept slowly from behind and started to hunt, the deer ran away trying to escape. Silver Moon spotted a baby deer that was a bit away from the herd, so she turned her direction and chased. It reminded her of chasing Miksa when playing hunt. Miksa looked back and saw Silver trying to catch the deer, he headed towards the faun and soon enough it was on the ground. The other pack members had knocked down a male deer.

Silver Moon: " Alpha! Look what we knocked down!"

Alpha: " Good job."

Storm: " Hmph, begginers luck. Not you Miksa, I bet you knocked it down and she took all the credit."

Miksa: " Uh, not really. Actually, Silver Moon almost knocked it down by herself. I just helped."

 Silver Moon blushes a bit.

Silver Moon: " Yeah! By letting it escape once you caught it!"

  Miksa grinned at the joke. He pounced on Silver Moon. Storm looked at him surprised, angry and confused.  She gets him off and starts chasing him. They run into one of the pack's cave.

Miksa: " Hey!"

Silver walks out of the cave. They get out and help drag the baby deer towards the cave. Soon enough all are feasting. Once finished Silver is on a hill looking at the sky.

Storm: " It's no use playing with him."

Silver Moon: " What are you talking about?'

Storm: " Miksa wants to be with me."

Silver Moon: " Then I won't stop you."

Storm: " Come on, he's just playing with you. Then he'll come with me and you'll seek your revenge."

Silver Moon: " I don't think it matters. Who am I to make his decisions?"

Storm: " *chuckles* That's just it. You think you're a princess getting whatever you want! This is life, everything has it's downsides."

Silver Moon: " What do you want from me?"

Storm: " I want you, to leave Miksa alone! He's wants to be my mate."

Silver Moon: " Nobody knows what he's thinking until he says it."

Storm: " Will you just be quiet and listen!?" There is no way he'll want to be your mate."

Silver Moon: " That can't stop me from being his friend."

Storm: " You know, you got a lot to learn."

 Storm heads off to her cave, Silver looks back up at the sky.

Silver Moon: " (thinking) Mom, help me with her. Maybe at least I could be her friend."

 She then gets up and heads to her cave.

Diane: " Have a tough day?"

Silver Moon nodds.

Silver Moon: " Storm and I had a talk."

Diane: " *sigh* She never stops until she gets what she wants."

Silver Moon: " It's annoying."

Diane: " A good night's sleep will help."

Silver Moon: " I guess you're right. Night."

Diane: " Good night."

 Silver Moon cuddles up and closes her eyes.

 

 Some eyes open up, and Silver, now almost fully grown, gets up and stretches. She lives in her own cave now, but still sees Diane frequently. Miksa and her sometimes look closer than friends, but not too close. Storm is always getting in their ways.

Silver Moon: " (thinking) Good morning, mom."

 She heads out her cave and drinks some water from a stream. Then she's knocked into the cold crystal water, while getting up she hears laughing.

Miksa: " Got ya! *laughs* "

Silver Moon: " Yeah, you got me. Now help me up!"

Miksa: " All right. Here, take my paw."

 Silver grabs his paw and pulls him into the water, getting out before he realizes what happens.

Silver Moon: " Who's the wet wolf now?"

Miksa: " I am."

  The white wolf shakes, getting Miksa more wet than he already is. Miksa tries to get out but Silver pushes him back in.

Miksa: " Hey!"

Silver Moon: " *laughs* NOW we're even."

Miksa: " So pushing me in the first place wasn't enough?"

Silver Moon: " No."

 Miksa splashes her.

Miksa: " Was that enough?"

 He splashes her again.

Miksa: " Is this enough?"

 She splashes him and they start a splash fight.

Alpha: " Miksa! Come here!"

Miksa: " *sigh* Yes dad."

Silver Moon: " Going so soon?"

Miksa: " Dad."

Silver Moon: " Oh."

Miksa: " I'll be back."

 He gets out of the stream and shakes.

 

 Later, Silver Moon is chasing Miksa. They run across some rocks in a river in a meadow. Soon they pass through some melted snow and a withered daffodail. Miksa notices that Silver Moon isn't chasing him anymore.

Miksa: " Silver Moon? Silver Moon!"

 He follows the trail to where he came from and there was Silver Moon lying on the snow, every ten seconds putting her pink nose in the snow.

Miksa: " Silver?"

Silver Moon: " Miksa, remember what I told you about my dreams?"

Miksa: " Every once in a while you see your mom."

Silver Moon: " I see her, I smell her, I practically feel her. This patch of snow, it has a faint smell...                     of her."

Miksa: " Sometimes, you wish you just could go back in time and never let this happen."

Silver Moon: " Why do hunters hate us so much? What did we do to them?"

Miksa: " If only they could see how some of us suffer."

Silver Moon: " Hopefully Aniu will find a way to do that. (a rain drop falls on her nose.) Oh."

  More rain drops fall until its pouring down.

Miksa: " We should find a cave until it stops."

 They get up and find a cave in some minutes.

Silver Moon: " (thinking) The scent will go away by the time this is over."

Miksa: " This could last all day, more clouds are coming so it should finish by tomorrow."

Silver Moon: " Well, we've got nothing to do, how about we play, chewbone.  Uh...  no uh...   forget it. Forget what I said."

Miksa: " Chewbone?"

Silver Moon: " I said forget it! *sigh* I'm going to take a nap."

 She goes a bit further into the cave and lies down.

Miksa: " (thinking) Chewbone? I've never heard of that game."

  Hours have passed and it's still raining. Night has fallen.

Miksa: " Silver, how do you play it?"

Silver Moon: " Play what?"

Miksa: " Chewbone."

Silver Moon: " *sigh* Miksa."

Miksa: " Sooner or later, you have to tell someone. I won't tell, promise."

Silver Moon: " *sigh* All right. Chewbone, is a game my mother and I invented. I don't remember who my father was, or how he looked like. Anyway, to play, my mom would twirl around slowly and I would run trying to bite her leg. The game was my mom's idea. When I was born I would chew her leg."

Miksa: " It's sad when you think about it. Now I know why you didn't want to mention it."
