important members of the pack Adam felt his worries and concerns for Anilda come back.
Where is she? Adam thought and before he knew it he was asleep.

Adam felt like he had been asleep no longer than an hour when he was shaken awake by Jasper.
"Come on. We're moving" Jasper said then left. Adam sighed and opened his eyes. Standing up adam followed the rest of the wolves. Falling back on the pack to his postition at the back. Stretching his legs as he walked. Though they were nearing the territory of the most lethal and dangerous packs in history adam felt no immediate danger.
When the pack was moving the ten shields would surround the pack with two at the front and two at the back and two on either side of the pack. This was to help protect the pack from any attacks they might encounter. The pack hadn't yet been attacked since the red rock packs' attack.
As adam followed the pack the sun started to peak over the horizon. It's rays shining threw the morning fog and lighting the sky up.
"Better wake up adam" Zack said kicking snow at adam.
"Watch it!" adam said jumping out of the way of the snow.
Zack laughed
Adam, looking around spotted something that enightened his spirits. It was the Liberator Lake. The pack could get some water there.
nodding his head in the direction adam said "Zack look. the lake"
"Great! im thirsty" Zack replied.

Adam who was extremely thirsty plunged his head into the water. Slurping up great gulps of water. With his face above the water again adam gulped the water so fiercly, he started splashing the two wolves on either side of him. Realizing the way he must look adam stopped and tried to laugh his embarrasment off.
The two wolves looked at him curiously then went back to drinking.
As soon as adam was away from the lake adam shook his fur dry. He'd gotten himself pretty wet while drinking.
"Adam, over here a minute" Aleu's voice said from behind him.
Adam turned and walked over to aleu.
"talk to me"
"i just want to make sure you know what to do in case we do run into the nous-controllers" Aleu said
"don't worry about me. I know what to do" Adam replied rolling his eyes
"tell me then" Aleu said standing straight up as she always did when giving a direct order.
"First off avoid all eye contact and look for their characteristics to figure out if they are a nous-controller or a wolf. Then go for the neck" Adam started
"good, and, an ambush?"
"Well same thing only try to get away first" Adam finished. "so obvious. What else are you gunna do?" adam thought
"great. Im just nervous about getting near this pack again. After my last encounter i had hoped never to see them again" Aleu said looking down at the ground then back up at night.
"Don't worry aleu. You've got me protecting you. I won't let anything happen to you" Adam replied sensing that aleu hadn't really wanted to talk to him just to be sure he know the procedures.
Adam was rewarded with a smile from Aleu. "Thanks adam. I know i can count on you"
Adam copied aleu and stood straight up and smiled
Aleu headed off back towards her position at the front. The pack was moving now.
After getting a quick gulp of water adam ran to catch back up with the pack.

Chapter Seven

Her head was killing her. Anilda's head was pounding painfully once she had awoke.
She had absolutely no idea where she was. The last thing she remembered was trying to stop before she hit the boulder. Next thing she know she was waking up in this dark tunnel.
There was no light at all in the tunnel. Taking a few cautious steps, anilda bumped into the wall.
The wall felt hard. It felt like stone. But the surface wasn't rough. It was smooth. Like some kind of marble.
Squinting anilda contined walking. Occasionally she'd bump into the wall again. Though she noticed that the further she went the warmer it got. Her eyes were used to the darkness now and she could almost see ahead. She could make out the wall but that was all.
A few minutes later and Anilda was practically sweating. "Why is it so hot in here?" Anilda thought "Tunnels are usually cold"
Continuing forward anilda racked her brain for anything thing that might let her know where the heat was coming from. Although she was familiar with most of this part of alaska she knew most of alaska to be cold. She'd never been in this kind of heat.
Sweat dripped from her as she went. Tongue hanging out Anilda became extremely thirsty. Her mouth had become very dry.
Finally her fur was completely soaked with sweat so she shook her fur. She was so thirsty that she licked at the puddle of sweat on the ground that had dripped off her.

"When does this tunnel end?" Anilda asked as she continued. The walls were boiling hot now. The ground was no longer dirt. It was some kind of rock as well. Not as smooth as the walls though.

"Anilda"
Anilda jumped. Looking behind her she could see no one. It was still pitch black. "whos there?"
"behind you"
Anilda turned around and, though she couldn't see him, she sensed a wolf standing just in front of her.
"Who are you?" Anilda asked taking a step back.
"Some know me as Feuer. But you can call me Hitze" As he said this his fur suddenly started to glow. Anilda back away. His fur was moving in the wierdest way even though there was no wind. It was fire!
Anilda gasped. "but. . . But i thought you were just a scary story for pups"
"thats what everyone wants to think. As you can see. . . Im very much real"
Anilda took another step back.
Flames erupted around her. Instintly she cowared back. She felt the intensity of the heat increase drastically. Her vision blurred. She felt like she was about to have a Heat Stroke. As soon as anilda got her vision in focus she saw the fire-wolf walk threw the dancing flames. He looked twice as scary and firece with his teeth bared and his surroundings ablaze.
"What are you doing here?" Hitze growled.
"Im lost, I was attacked and. . ." Anilda started but Hitze then pounced. Expecting to catch fire, anilda screamed and tried to dodge Hitze.
He was too quick for her. He collided with anilda and landed on top of her. Anilda stared up into the orange eyes of Hitze. She wasn't burning alive. Then she noticed Hitze was no longer on fire.
Too scared to move, anilda waited for Hitze to attack. While she waited she wondered "What is he doing? What is he waiting for?"
Finally Hitze's growling ceased. He stepped back and allowed anilda to get to her paws.
"You are not lying"
Anilda remained silent.
"Please accept my apology. I was merely protecting myself. You are trespassing"
Anilda tried to reply but her throat was very dry. Her mouth was completely dry as well.
"Would you like a drink?" Hitze asked recognizing anilda's symptoms of dehydration,
Anilda, still unable to speak, nodded her head instead.
"This way" Hitze said and started towards the flames. As he came into contact with them the flames went out and he became ablaze again. Hitze continued as if nothing had happened.

Fifteen minutes later anilda and Hitze were in front of a pitch black lake. Hitze had led her down a seperate tunnel that curved off from the one anilda had been in. As they went down the tunnel, the temperature dropped back down to a comfortable temperature. At least comfortable for Anilda.
Instently she plunged her head into the water. Taking great gulps of cool water. Suddenly anilda fell completely into the water. It felt like the best feeling in the world. When she poked her head up out of the water she saw hitze, casually licking at the water. His flames were out.
"Thanks" Anilda said, shaking her fur dry, once she was out of the lake.
Hitzed smiled slightly then his fur turned to fire again and he led her towards the exit of the tunnel.
It still scared anilda when Hitze turned to fire.
"so what's your name?" Hitze asked, looking back.
After a minute she spoke up "Anilda"
"You wanna tell me the full story of how you got in the Todesberg?"
"Todesburg?" Anilda asked
"you may know it as Morte Berg"
Anilda gasped. "that's where we are?"
"yea, so you wanna tell me how you got here?"
"Well it's a long story but ill tell you anyway. . ." Anilda said then told Hitze everything that had happened since the attack from the red rock pack.
"Quite alot to have gone through. You choose a bad time to get pregnant" Hitze said when anilda finished.
Anilda wasn't surprised he knew. "I know i must look it by now" She thought to herself.
"It was never planned" she replied uncomfortably.
Hitzed looked back at her again and chuckled
"So tell me about you" Anilda said, trying to change the subject. "any weakness to water?"
"Yea, only natural. That's why i stay here where it's too hot for water to exist. At least everywhere except that lake"
"Oh, clever. So how did you end up like this?" Anilda asked jesturing her head at the flames on Hitze's body.
"I was born this way. But i never knew about it until i was one. The first time i did it i thought i was going to die. It was the most frightening moment of my life. As i grew older, I started catching fire more and more often. I nearly set my best friend, Dami, on fire. When i accidentally started a forest fire i decided I had to learn to control it. So I isolated myself from my friends, and family. By the time i was two i could, not only change to fire by will, but make anything around me catch fire by picturing it in flames in my mind's eye" Hitze replied
Anilda looked at him suddnly "anything?"
"yea, though the larger the object or person, the more energy it takes. It takes alot of energy to set something that isn't flammable on fire as well"
Anilda starred at him. So if you wanted too you could set me of fire right now?"
"yea" Hitze said and grinned at her.

Not too long after this a light could be seen at the far end of the tunnel in front of them.
"Thanks for helping me" Anilda replied.
"Don't worry about it"
"Just one last question"
"Sure, what?"
"what do you do about food? I mean don't you come out to hunt?"
"Yes, but i have to stay unlit. Otherwise id never catch anything" Hitze laughed
"Hitze could you help me find my pack" Anilda asked suddenly
Hitze
