that’s a good idea…" said Luke as he nuzzled her.

As Mylah walked over there she stared at the ground scared of not knowing what to say or worse…what she will think of Mylah now.

"Um…hey…" said Mylah as she sat down next to her.

"Oh…hi Mylah…" said Ilaney. She sniffled and tears were running down her cheeks and she tried to hide it from Mylah even though Mylah could see it. Mylah seeing how sad Ilaney was made her heart tear to pieces again and once again she felt like it was her fault that Aura died.

"I-I’m so sorry that Aura had to go…" said Mylah know holding back her tears.

"I-I have to go…" said Ilaney as she ran off down the hill crying hard.

Mylah felt so bad. How could this have ever happened? She never would have wanted this to happen. Aura was a sweet little innocent puppy who just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. And yet Mylah still felt like it was her own fault.
Later that day, Mylah was out walking around the packs territory with Luke. So far, the whole day Mylah did not see Sheko anywhere nor did she see Ilaney or Sheena besides the time when Ilaney ran off. That made Mylah feel horrible but not seeing Sheko all day made her happy. But then as Luke and Mylah were talking, Mylah spotted a big group of all the wolves from the pack in a circle talking.

"Hey Luke, look at that. All the wolves are talking and they look like there talking about something serious." Said Mylah.

"Should we go over there and see what there talking about?" asked Luke.

"Yeah" said Mylah as Luke and her walked over to the circle.

At the circle there were all the wolves talking. Sheko was there and so were Ilaney and Sheena were there. But neither Sheena, Ilaney, nor Sheko were talking. Ilaney and Sheena were staring at the ground looking sad and Sheko just glared and gave an evil smirk at Mylah. Mylah saw it but then stared right at the ground afraid.

"What is going on?" asked Luke.

Shonie leaned over to Luke and whispered to him.

"Were talking about Aura’s death and who should be to blame." Said Shonie.

Mylah over heard what Shonie whispered to Luke and she became sad again but also a little bit stiff because lately she had been thinking she was to blame. Then, all of a sudden, Sheko stepped to the middle of the circle and started to speak.

"Quiet! We all know why this circle had formed… it was to have a memorial service of Aura’s death…" Sheko said as she pretended to cry and look terribly sad as she eyed Mylah again. Mylah glared at her knowing what she was up to. Mylah thought that Sheko was trying to get everyone to think that she didn’t kill Aura.

"Aura was a great young wolf who died at a too-soon age. She was the loving sister of Sheena and Ilaney. Aura was the youngest out of the sisters and even though she was the youngest and the smallest one… she had the biggest heart out of all of us…I’m sorry, that is all I can say before I burst into tears anymore." Said Sheko as she fake cried. And as she walked out of the center of the circle, with her head down, she eyed Mylah again and smirked. Then the two sisters walked up to together and spoke.

Finally everyone was finished talking and every minute of it Sheko was staring and glaring at Mylah. Mylah tried to avoid it but it was so hard not to. Then after everyone was done speaking, Sheko walked back up to the center of the circle.

"Mylah can you step forward please." Said Sheko as she glared at Mylah. Mylah’s heart sank into her stomach with a sick, twisted feeling inside. Mylah looked at Luke worried but Luke signaled her to go forward so Mylah looked at Shonie but she too also signaled her to go forward. So Mylah slowly walked forward and every step closer she got to Sheko, the more her legs felt weaker.

"…Mylah, I want you to say sorry for killing Aura please. You killed her Mylah and you need to say sorry and leave so we can get on with the memorial."

"WHAT!!! I did not kill Aura!!! You did Sheko!!" Before Mylah could say anything else everyone in the crowd gasped including Sheko.

"How could you say that about me!? I would never do such a thing as to kill Aura! She was my friend!" said Sheko

"She was not your friend!" said Mylah.

Then Mylah turned to the crowd. One half of the crowd has there eyes glaring in shame at Mylah and the other half shook there heads.

Mylah couldn’t take it anymore. Everything was horrible! Now she was being blamed for Aura’s death! A drop ran from Mylah’s eye, down her cheek and onto the ground. Then Mylah ran even when her leg hurt all the way back to her den and cried her heart out.

Two days had passed since the memorial service and the only people who believed her were Shonie and Luke. Everyone else believed Sheko. Everyone ignored her and for the first time in Mylah’s life she felt alone. Way to alone. Everyday all Mylah did was spend her days were spend it away from other people because know one wanted her around. As a matter of fact Mylah thought knows even cared about her anymore.

"Hey…" said Luke as he walked up to her.

"Hey Luke…" she said smiling and nuzzled him. She was glad to know that Luke still cared about her even at a time like this.

"Are you ok? I mean…you have been hiding for a while now…2 days…would you like to maybe step out of the shadows?" asked Luke.

"Yeah maybe you’re right…but when I pass by them the never even notice me they’ll just look at me briefly then stare back down at the ground immediately." Said Mylah.

I know, I know…but maybe that’s because they feel like they don’t know you anymore…maybe they’ll get to know you again if you step out of the shadows. Just for one day that’s all I’m asking." Said Luke.

"Um….I don’t know…" said Mylah smiling.

"Aw please?" said Luke smiling that smile again.

Mylah laughed and smiled back at him and said "Ok, Ok I’ll do it…"

"Yeah!!!" said Luke acting like a little puppy.

Mylah laughed at how Luke acted and then said "Come on."

When Mylah got back to where all the other wolves were, she saw Shonie talking to Sara as they ate. Mylah walked over to them and said "Hey!" with a smile on her face. "Oh, hey Mylah! How are you?" Shonie said. "I’m great! So um…how is everyone else?" Mylah said feeling a little tense. "Oh…there…ok…"Shonie said. To Mylah, that didn’t seem like such a fully positive answer. "Oh…ok…um…would you guys like to go walk around with me? I need to see everyone’s faces again…I haven’t seen them in a while…" said Mylah smiling.

"Oh sure!" said Shonie "How about you Sara? Do you wanna come?" said Shonie again. "I wish but I can’t I’m meeting my brother for lunch soon. Catch you later!" said Sara as she walked off. "Bye" said Shonie. "Bye!" said Mylah. Then they both went off walking around.

"Um….Shonie…" said Mylah

"Ya?" said Shonie.

"Do you think the real reason of why Sara left was because she was…scared of me?" asked Mylah.

"No! I am positive that is not true! She did have to see her brother! She even told me. Her brother is sick so she offered to take him to lunch today." Said Shonie.

"Oh…ok…I’m sorry…it’s just that I feel so…I don’t know how to put it…I guess I’m trying to say is that I feel so mean like I was the person who killed Aura…but I know I wasn’t the person who killed Aura…Sheko was! I hate her!" said Mylah.

"I know you didn’t kill her…come on… let’s go and say hello to everyone." Said Shonie.

Then they walked together to where everyone was.

"Hello." Said Shonie to start it off.

Mylah followed behind and made a small smile and stared at the ground.

"Hello" Luke said from the crowd as he walked up towards Mylah to nuzzle her.

"Hi Luke." Said Mylah in a whisper as she nuzzled him back.

Then Sheko glared at Mylah from the crowd. Mylah noticed the glare and she felt her self go stiff again and then she faced Luke and said in a whisper and scared. "I’m not sure this is such a good idea any more…" said Mylah as she was about to walk off.

Then Luke faced her again and said "Wait, Mylah, don’t worry…nothing gonna happen to you." Said Luke as he walked her back to where she was.

Mylah looked back at where Sheko was again and she was still staring at her glaring. Then Mylah looked back at Luke again and said "She keeps glaring at me… I-I have to go. I mean it."

Before Luke could reply she left and so he ran after her.

"Mylah! What’s going on?" Luke asked her as he finally caught up to her.

"She kept glaring at me like she was gonna kill me… I don’t know I guess I ran off because she gave me the same glare she gave Aura before she killed her…" Mylah said with tear filled eyes.

"Don’t worry…I’m here…" said Luke as he nuzzled her and licked her fur to comfort her.

Then they started to walk together back to the cave when all of a sudden Sheko came out of their cave and said "We’ll hi you to!"

"Run!" cried Mylah to Luke as they ran in the other direction.

Then Sheko jumped in front of them and said "Oh…going so soon? Heh… I don’t think so" said Sheko as she walked up closer to Luke. Then Mylah jumped in front of Sheko and put her ears back. Then Sheko pushed Mylah aside and walked up to Luke. "We’ll hi there Luke" said Sheko as she rubbed her fur against Luke.

"Leave now Sheko! I can tell the alpha’s about what you have been doing!" said Luke growling.

Sheko laughed all of a sudden and said. "You wish you could do that but I’m afraid you couldn’t do that even if you started to walk over there right now."

"What are you saying..." said Luke eyeing Sheko growling low.

"Let’s just say I took care of them already…" Sheko said giving an evil grin.

Then Luke looked at Sheko and then said quietly. "You killed them…" said Luke.

All Sheko did was grin. "I haven’t told any other wolf yet…I’m just waiting till they get suspicious." Said Sheko grinning.

Then Luke scratched her face then ran off with Mylah.

When they ran off they ran to tell the news. When they told the pack they were as sad as they all bursted out into tears and some people walked off trying to hide
