The Whisper of Wolves:Different Opinions

 

The deep gold eyes of, SmokeCloud, a black female wolf with striking features, sweeped across the plains of the mountains where her pack lived.

She saw all of them below and smirked.

SmokeCloud, was a long-legged wolf with gold eyes, who loved to just give people or other wolves a run for their money.

She, unlike other females in her pack, loved the taste of blood and revenge.

Everyone in the pack loved her that is except for the girls, for most of them knew her deceiving ways. She played them for fools and in the end, they got their hearts ripped out.

Then, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a large rabbit hop across the field.

She spun around on her heel and dashed for it and caught it by its hind leg.

The animal screamed and she grasped her powerful jaws around the animal’s throat until it silenced.

She ate up quickly and quietly and ran out of the field into the depths of the forest toward her pack.

As she was walking, she heard someone lapping up water near the stream and looked to see who it was.

There drinking, was HazelMist.

As a beautiful dark brown wolf with emerald green eyes who was, unlike SmokeCloud, was nice and sweet.

She had liked a light tan wolf with brown ear tips and brown eyes, whose name was RiverSpade, since they were pups.

And she was alone. SmokeCloud came up from behind her and said, "Why, hello HazelMist. Wonderful day isn’t it?"

HazelMist jumped at the sound of her voice and turned around to face her.

She looked at her and smiled sweetly, wondering what SmokeCloud was up too this time.

"Oh, nothing much SmokeCloud. It is a pretty day too. Did you need something?"

HazelMist did not like SmokeCloud one bit, but she didn’t want to be her enemy to make SmokeCloud mad, because she knew, as well as her friend and the rest of the pack, that she would get revenge on whoever made her angry.

HazelMist’s emerald eyes watched SmokeCloud carefully and SmokeCloud walked closer.

They were almost the same height, though SmokeCloud was taller than HazelMist by a snitch.

" Actually, HazelMist, I wanted to know if you wanted to hang out later today, like old friends. It would be fun."

HazelMist winced when SmokeCloud said friends that way.

The thing was, she was not SmokeCloud’s friend and did not want anything to do with her.

 

" Ah, I’m busy later SmokeCloud." She lied, "Maybe, some other time."

And with that she swung around and trotted off.

SmokeCloud’s neck fur bristled and she leaped into the air and landed in front of HazelMist and snarled.

HazelMist took a step back at the sudden attack.

SmokeCloud hissed at her, "Why not, HazelMist. I thought we were friends." She bared her fangs and growled.

HazelMist couldn’t take it, "No SmokeCloud, we are not friends. I have never liked you. You are jealous. And everyone knows it. Now leave me alone."

HazelMist bared her white fangs and growled right back.

SmokeCloud shook with fury and growled, "No. I am not going to just leave you alone HazelMist. I have hated you all these wasted years! Maybe I am, and maybe I’m not jealous. But I’m going to ruin your life, and if anyone steps in the way of me…well…destroying you,

I will kill them! When you are out of the way…"

Then the Alpha male’s mate, DawnStep walked in and barked, "Girls! Girls! Stop it! Stop it!!" she growled and stepped in between them.

SmokeCloud glared at HazelMist and took off. HazelMist watched carefully as SmokeCloud ran off and looked at the DawnStep. She breathed a sigh of relief.

She smiled an innocent smile at her mother and trotted off toward camp.

" Hey HazelMist! Over here!" HazelMist heard her friend Nightpelt call over to her as she entered the camp.

She smiled and pranced over to her friend.

As she pranced nearer, she saw RiverSpade, eyeing her. She looked at him and smiled, and he looked fondly at her and smiled back.

She looked straight ahead but her thoughts soared.

Does he like me? Does he even know I exist? Ha! Of coarse he does, he did smile at me! She mind whirled.

She mind whirled.

She didn’t noticed Nightpelt telling her to watch out as she smashed into her friend.

They tumbled in the dust and rolled and down a small hill, landing in a puddle. HazelMist lay sprawled on the ground, wondering what had happened.

Her friend looked at her trying to obtain her giggles, but she burst out laughing ,HazelMist joining in a second later. How embarrassing!

As she stood up, she shook the dust from her fur and walked over to where Nightpelt was.

She sat down next to her, until they noticed the messenger wolf, RussetClaw, ran over to a flat, raised stone known as FlatRock in the middle of their pack’s territory.

That meant he had a message for the pack to hear.

Nightpelt looked at HazelMist and stood up, walking toward FlatRock.

HazelMist ran next to her friend to get a good spot to hear.

As others gathered around, HazelMist looked around for SmokeCloud.

She sighed a relief when she didn’t see her by the time the messenger cleared his throat.

" Hear me! Hear me! Would all wolves come to attentive please!

Tomorrow morning when the sun rises, there will be a meeting at Satire Hill.

The Alphas’ have a very important message for all of you to hear!"

Then, a small run away husky named Kaden asked, "Well what is the point, if you could just tell us now?"

RussetClaw looked at the crowd and bellowed, "I cannot! For I myself do not know what the message is. I will see you all in the morning. That is all."

And with that he walked off into the Alpha’s den for a word with him.

All of the pack started to talk quietly to each other as they walked off.

HazelMist then saw SmokeCloud glaring at her with a smirk on her face. That made HazelMist shiver.

 

The next morning, Nightpelt came into HazelMist’s cave and shook her awake.

HazelMist groaned and rolled over.

Nightpelt shook her harder and bit her on the ear. HazelMist yelped and sat straight up and a little too fast and the den spun.

She regained her composure and stared groggily at her friend. She looked out of the mouth of the cave and it was still dark outside.

She looked back at Nightpelt and whispered, "Why did you wake me up so early? It’s still dark outside!"

Nightpelt whispered back, "Because! I want to get an early seat before it gets too crowded!!" HazelMist sighed and stood up.

She forced herself to leave the warmth of her cave into the chilly dawn morning.

Winter is surely coming early this year…she thought to herself.

she thought to herself.

Nightpelt and HazelMist climbed the rocky hill until they came to a smooth part and sat down in front of a towering bolder.

HazelMist knew from past pack meetings that this was where the Alpha’s stood to give their speech.

A cool breeze whipped at her fur and she shivered. There wasn’t anyone there yet so it was nice, and quiet.

Then, a few minutes later, she heard someone talking and she told Nightpelt to stay where she was.

HazelMist went to investigate to see who was talking behind the bolder.

She peeked and saw the Alphas talking to their messenger, RussetClaw.

She saw RussetClaw shake his head and the Alpha Male said quietly, "It is the ONLY thing we can do to protect this pack. If we don’t, they will surely all die.

We will choose young strong warriors to accompany, and fight with us in war. The rest will leave this forest…forever."

HazelMist listened intently and a fear struck her.

What was going to happen to her and the pack? Whatever it is, it doesn’t sound good.

She decided not to jump to conclusions and she ran back to her friend not daring to tell her what she had heard.

Within the next few minutes, more of the pack started to arrive. When the whole pack arrived, they started.

" Attention to all! Attention to all! May we have your attention please! Silence to all who speak when I am speaking!"

The Alpha Male, BrackenStar bellowed. DawnStep and the BrackenStar stood next to each other and RussetClaw next to them.

Everyone silenced and HazelMist scanned the crowd.

She felt someone staring at her and she looked but didn’t see

anyone.

She looked next to her and there sitting, was SmokeCloud. She gasped a little too loud and a few wolves turned their heads to look.

She glared at HazelMist growled under her breath, "This is the start of mayhem HazelMist. I am your worst nightmare. You…will…die."

HazelMist looked to the ground and changed spots with Nightpelt.

"To all, there is drastic news about our future.

There has been a war challenged among us by the Northern Wind Clan and some are leaving to go fight.

Those who remain…well, move to the outskirts of the forest."

HazelMist heard the sudden gasps and whispers. Everyone started whispering and
