They looked around and shouted their names. No response. They walked around a trail and looked, but couldn't find them. Serenade worried, she senced a Storm nearby and they had to find them soon.

 Jenna and Rosy walked through the woods. The howls had stopped and they were trying to get back. Rosy shouted for her parents, no response either. Rosy sat down at the base of a tree and talked to Jenna, she sounded so scared.

" We need to get back soon, I'm getting cold Jenna."

 Jenna whimpered and looked around. Nothing but trees surrounded them. She didn't know which way was Nome, and couldn't track really well. Rosy's stomach grumbled, she was hungry. So was Jenna. Rosy got up and they kept on walking. Dawn and her owner had to get back to Nome. They had to give back the dogs, and get help. Rosy's father agreed to stay to keep looking. back at Nome, Rosy's mother was at the sheriff's (or police station, whichever you prefer). She had told the police, and now rangers of white mountain and Nome were already looking. News had gotten around and the search was all anybody could talk about, dogs and humans. Jenna and Rosy already got at the top of a hill. They looked but couldn't really see that far, and decided to keep on walking.

 They kept on walking, hoping to find home. Wind had picked up and it started to snow. Not to hard but not calmly either. Rosy started to cry, while Jenna whimpered. The girl felt her tears cool her face, she was already cold. Jenna looked ahead and froze. Rosy also looked. In front of them was a big brown wolf with golden eyes. Rosy hugged the wolf and kept on crying. The wolf looked at the two lost kids and nuzzled Rosy. She slowly said doggie. Jenna looked at the wolf and tried to look smaller.

" What is wrong?" He asked with a bit of a rough voice.

"We're lost." The young pup answered.

Silence had passed closely,

" Come with me then."

  The wolf laid down, Rosy looked at it for a moment and then got on it's back. The wolf got up and strotted through the snow storm. Jenna followed as close as she could, not wanting to get separated from Rosy. Serenade walked through the snow. She left Nome a time ago, looking for Rosy and Jenna. The storm didn't matter to her, finding the lost ones did. She walked through the deep snow as snowflakes fall on her face. The blizzard was hard so she had to rest under a tree. The canines and Rosy had gotten to a cave. They rested in it. The wolf offered Jenna some meat.

 Jenna took a little bite, it wasn't very tasty. Rosy laughed at her puppy's expression. But it soon faded with a strange but familiar gurgle. She was also hungry. The brown wolf stood up, and then walked out of the cave, later coming back with berries and nuts. Rosy ate them happily as she shared them with Jenna. At least it tasted better than meat. Why would he help them? The puppy wondered. Her father was a sled dog, one day went on a run with his team, and came back badly injured. Wolves, were the problem. Jenna hadn't really known what a wolf was. Was it this? I guess.

 Dawn woke up the next day, she shoke off the snow. It warmed her. That was good, now to look for Rosy. They had already gotten up and looked for Nome.

" How did you get lost?" The wolf asked.

" We were searching for the howls. They belonged to wolves I think." Jenna answered."

"She doesn't know what a wolf is like." The wolf thought as he smiled.

" We got lost and then found you. You're a big husky. I've never seen one as big as you." Jenna added

" That's because I'm a wolf." He said.

 Jenna stepped back in surprise. Wolf? A killer just heped them? Maybe they aren't so bad, or like humans some are good, others are bad. That didn't matter. Jenna kept on walking until they came on a river.

" Great, just great." The brown wolf could only say. "We're gonna have to cross it if you want to get to Nome."

  Rosy put her hand in the water, and quickly yanked it out. Jenna did the same, the water was freezing cold. The wolf looked around and saw a log, it trotted over. Jenna and Rosy followed, as he helped them get on it and pushed the log into the water, hopping on just in time.

" Jenna! Rosy!" the red husky shouted, even though she knew the human wouldn't understand her.

  Dawn had caught their scent and she ran as fast as she could towards the river, catching sight of them crossing. She shouted for them, and they looked around, but Rosy had lost her balance and fell into the icy cold water. Jenna was startled by this, scared and confused of what to do and fell too. The brownish wolf jumped into the water, hopefully able to get them. Dawn watched as he pulled Rosy to the other side and cuddled around her for warmth. Jenna struggled as she began to be pulled into the current. Her mother worried and without thinking it twice ran into the water after Jenna, but Rosy couldn't do anything but watch.

  The mother swam after her pup, letting her be pulled into the current. She finally caught up with Jenna, who was beggining to go numb. Dawn grabbed Jenna by the scruff, and did her best to push the pup onto a rock nearby. Her grip on the rock wasn't very tight, and the water could only make it sliperry.  She wasn't able to hold on, and Jenna just watched in horror as her mother fell over the waterfall.

  A ranger had found Rosy and Jenna, and while searching to see if anyone else was also there, he found Dawn at the shore. He took all of them back, and Rosy looked at the forest as she saw the wolf that helped them. Six wolf cubs appeared next to him. Once back at Nome, Rosy's mother was worried sick since the little girl and puppy had caught a cold, and both had a bit of a fever. Dawn had been badly hurt and was taken to the vet as fast as possible.

" How is she, Doc?" Rosy's father asked, standing next to his wife.

" Her injuries are deep. She probably won't survive the night." He answered slowly. "We can keep trying, if she makes it, or put her to sleep tomorrow."

" I don't want her suffering," He paused and sighed. "do it."

 Jenna still had the bandanna Autumn had given her, but it felt like a gift from her own mother, and that was what she treasured. The next day she had gone to the vet, hoping to be able to visit her mother. She climbed up a bucket to hopefully be able to see through the window. What she saw, was the Doc grabbing a needle, and injecting it into her mother. She hoped she'd be alright. Then, her mother slowly, struggling to stay awake, closed her eyes, and lay limp. Jenna stayed silent, still not able to understand what had just happened. 

 A couple of days after, in their backyard. Was a figure under a cloth. Everyone was crying. Rosy was, her father, her mother, and Jenna. She cried as her mother was buried in their backyard. She whimpered as she looked at the place were they buried her. Rosy then hugged Jenna, as the pup had her bandanna at her feet.. She looked at Rosy as she felt her mother's warmness and love in this cloth. Forever would she remember her. They stayed quiet and then went back into the house. All except Jenna.

" I won't forget you mommy."
