to advance on Anilda. Anilda, retreating, felt a sense of dread rush through her body. She'd been afraid of this. Swallowing anilda got ready to run. Planning to turn around and run but this plan was foiled just as she had thought of it. Lex pushed on anilda with enough force to knock her over, then started to get on top of her when he was hit in the side. Hard.
Anilda gasped and saw a black and yellow wolf standing over her. Anilda recognized him as one of the search team wolves from the pack. Relief rushed through anilda's body. This was one of her closest friends from the pack. It was Night.
"Unless you have a death wish i suggest you two get out of here" Night said fiercly
"Its two agains one, you wouldn't stand a chance" Al replied
"You'd be surprised what a trained wolf can do" Night said "now this is your last warning"
"We're not going anywhere" Lex said once he was back on his feet.
"Alright but i warned you" Night said calmly then jumped over Anilda so fast he looked like black and yellow blur for a moment. When he landed he lunged at Lex and sank his razor sharp teeth into his neck. Lex went limp. Al who had been standing right beside lex jumped back then recovered fast and tackled Night. Night rolled backwards and kicked Al with his hind legs. Al flipped off night and landed on his back. Acting fast Night got to his paws and was about to kill Al when he rolled away. Night ended up with a mouthful of snow. Al tried to run. Night ran after him and caught up with him in less than a few seconds then tried to knock Al over but instead got al's leg. Night compromised and twisted his head sideways forcefully and felt the leg snap in his mouth. Night then tasted blood.
When Night leg go of Al's leg he could see he'd snapped the bone clean in half and the bone was sticking out of Al's leg.
Night was sparing Al no pain. He stomped on Al's broken leg. Causing Al to moaned in agony. Night had a grin on his face now. Night then clamped his jaws over al's neck and al became quiet and motionless immediatly.

"Are you alright?" Night asked once he'd run back to anilda, who was still laying in the position the now dead lex had pushed her into.
"I think so. Your timing couldn't have been better night. If you hadn't showed up those creeps would have. . . Well. . . Thanks" Anilda replied standing up.
Night noticed Anilda was struggling so he asked "You wanna get some rest or do you feel up to some more traveling?"
"Rest Please!" Anilda exclaimed gratefully.
"Ok, ill keep watch while you rest" Night replied
"Thanks again Night" Anilda said then curled up on the ground and dozzed off to sleep.

CHAPTER FOUR

After Jon had told adam about the mind-controlling race of wolves adam thought it would be a good idea to gather the other eight members of 'the Ten Shields' and inform them. Once they were all gathered Adam Stood up and explained what he'd been told by jon.
"And this is not a joke? This isn't just some sick idea of a prank to get us all worked up?" Shield nine/ Anisto asked once adam had finished explaining.
"Anisto we're never gunna be 'The Ten Shields' until we all learn to trust each other" Shield four/ Jake said rolling his eyes.
"I just want to be sure this is true" Anisto said raising his voice loud enough to make himself heard over jake.
"Anisto i promise you this is one hundred percent true. A meeting of this importance would never be called as a joke. You know the punishment is banishment from the pack" Adam said reassuringly to anisto
"I don't think our problem is weather these wolves exist. I believe our problem is what are we going to do if we're ambushed by an entire pack of them" Shield two/ Mali stated
"Like i've said, you can't tell the two races apart. They are exactly alike. Their invisible to us" Adam replied
"Actually your wrong about that Adam"
Aleu, the alpha of the pack, had just arrived. At once everyone stood up and bowed as she walked by.
"Ive had expirence with this race of Wolves before. They have several small differences compared to the rest of the pack. But it takes a trained eye to spot them. Like their ears. Instead of the normal shape, their ears are more curved. It's not the usual point at the tip. Then there are their teeth. Their canines are larger. Their claws, they can make them larger and sharper at will. Then the hardest to spot. The padding of their paws. Its not like ours, Instead its more of a square shape in the middle" Aleu announced. As she walked around the group of ten wolves and sat down between Adam and Mali. Once Aleu was seated everyone else sat back down as well.
"Meaning no disrespect Aleu but how do you know this?" Shield three/Jasper asked
"Well like i said, ive had experience with this race before" Aleu replied.
"Well" Shield eight/ Lang spoke up "How did you escape unscathed?"
"I didn't escape unscathed. Exactly the opposite. It's a long story and we don't have enough time for me to tell it. Anyway id show you the scars but er, id rather not show some of them. Suffice to this one" Aleu said then turned so the left side of her body was facing them. On her side was a scar that started somewhere near her ribs and continued over to her thigh, all the way down her hind leg. It was a hidious scar. "Quite Painfull"
It was silent for a few seconds before shield seven/bailey stood "Is it possible that we could go around their territory?"
"Of course we could but the passage that leads to our packs only safe haven is in their territory" Adam replied.
"One way or another we're gunna have to cut threw their territory" Aleu pointed out
"How can we be sure its still there? What if they have discovered it?" Bailey asked
"Its hidden and there's no way they could have discovered it. It's protected by an ancient spell that my grandmother has placed over the entrence. Thats why we call it our 'Safe Haven'" Aleu explained
"So basically what aleu is saying, is that the only ones who can get through the spell is descendents from Aniu" Adam said
"Er, well we still have to figure out what we're gunna do about this wolf race" Jasper said
"What else is there to do? Don't make eye contact and watch out for their claws" Bailey said exasperatedly.
Acctually there is another way" Jon said surpried. As if he had suddenly remembered something. "But we might have to backtrack some"
"What are you talking about?" Anisto asked
"De Long Mountains"

Chapter Five

Anilda finally awoke around ten hours after she had fallen asleep. It was dark. The full moon, luminous in the starry night sky, Shined down on anilda. Sitting up Anilda looked around for night.
"Night?" she asked standing up.
She then heard the sound of whining.
"Night" Anilda repeated. She then waited for an answer. When no answer came she took a few steps and the sound of whining grew louder. Anilda was feeling nervous now. In the pitch blackness the whining was very creepy. Squinting threw the darkness anilda continued in the direction of the whining.
After a minute anilda tripped over something soft and warm and damp. She landed on the ground and rolled over to see what it was she'd tripped over. She gasped when she realized what it was.
Night. He was heavily wounded and bleeding.
"Night! night are you ok? What happened-" Anilda started but night cut her off in a weak voice.
"I said i'd protect you and i did. This time i wasn't good enough. Anilda you have to get out of here before more come.
"Night, your coming with me. Im not leaving until you get up" Anilda said nudging night in the back.
"I can't get up. Im too weak. Just go Anilda. I don't want you ending up like me. just GO" Night said emphasizing the last word.
Anilda didn't move. She just stared down at the bloody body of one of her best friends.
"Night. . " Anilda said
"go south. Head through the redland territory and then follow the Agashashok river. Keep going until it the river turns into ocean. You'll have to go over the mountain on the east side of the river. You can either climb over them or swim around. But once your around them head east. Keep heading eastward and you'll find the pack" Night said
"But that's the route to-" Anilda started to say but night finished the sentence for her.
"The Save Haven"
Anilda kneeled down and licked night on the cheek.
Night smiled at anilda then closed his eyes.
Anilda didn't move. She just stood there next to night. Finally when she heard the sound of a tree branch snap she hurried away tearfully. Sobbing as she went.

Walking along in the moonlight anilda, still depressed about night, continued southward. She knew she couldn't be too far from the pack. Apart from a single bleeding cut beside anilda's left eye, Anilda was completely unharmed.
It creeped her out that as she had slept her best friend had been butchered only a few feet from her. Why hadn't his moans and yells woken me? If I hadn't been asleep, if i had woken up. . . Maybe I could have saved him. Anilda thought as she went.
Again anilda caught the scent of a wolf. Wolves acctually.
Looking back anilda saw the shapes of at least four wolves with glowing red eyes snarling at her. Anilda stared for a split second then ran. Moving as fast as she could. Panting, anilda looked back. The wolves were right on her tail. Snapping at it as they chased her. Anilda looked back ahead of her and saw a large boulder straight ahead. Unable to stop in time, she colided with it. Face first. Anilda fell to the ground unconsious.
The wolves snickered as they dragged her away.

Chapter Six

Adam sat down and held his head low. He could feel sleep coming on. The meeting between Aleu and the ten shields had lasted well into the night.
Tomorrow they would be turning around and heading back. According to Jon De Long Mountains would lead them around the red land territory. What they would do after that was unknown to them. It had been decided in a 9 to 2 (including Aleu) vote. It was either through the mountains or through battle with the race of wolves they called 'nous-controllers'.
Now that he was no longer in the meeting with the most important members of
