“IDIOTS!” I yelled, I was now at this moment pacing around in circles, back and forth across a moonlit cave, “Why couldn’t they listen to me?! If they listened this wouldn’t happen!” I growled furiously with myself, at the moment I was getting my youth get to me and mess up my wisdom.

“Brother,” A lovely voice rang out, “You shouldn’t be so hard on yourself, you warned them but they we’re just to Foolish to listen.” She sighed, and was hating this as much as I am.

“I should have told them what was really going on instead of hinting, but I was told not tell give them any specifics and I did that to the best of my ability, but I always can do better!” That moment I popped, I couldn’t help myself and I did something I never do,

“Damnit Faye!!!” I stomped my paw down on the cold floor, “What do I have to do to get everyone to listen!! I had enough of this! Either it was Jenna, or Blackheart who would perish.

Oh never mind that for now, I’m getting way too far ahead of myself. As you know my names Frost, and Faye is my big sister. What you need to know will come soon enough through the story, but let’s get it over with now? NAH! I love teasing, and getting people interesting, my last crush will agree, which you will learn is Ramira by the way! Oh yea, I’ll tell you about that instead of ruining the story! Ramira and I we’re very close friends for a long time, about 3 full moons ago, 3 months for you less intelligent beings. Ramira secretly started going out with another guy and hanging with him during nights while I slept, I always asked her why she was so tired, and she said long day yesterday or she didn’t get much sleep. So I believed her and trusted her, then one day, during the season, she either missed it or something, cause she was acting odd. That moment I knew, she was with another male that day, as I smelled him all over her fur. A Red male named Swiftpaw, whose leg I broke last time he touched her! This drove me mad! My love was unloyal, and somehow I always knew, but I trusted her anyway. So I did the worst thing ever and even now, I still have no remorse for doing. Ha, bet you didn’t expect that huh? I killed Swiftpaw, and have never regretted it, after I tortured him and made him beg for his life and say sorry a couple hundred times. And that’s it; I killed a member of my pack for aiming to hurt me deliberately using my girl! Well, Ramira lied when she told Balto she missed him, as when she found out she hated his guts, and mine because I killed Swiftpaw and left her in her condition, which is not my fault by the way! So I got banished from my pack, oh yea, forgot to mention that Blackheart and I were pack mates, littermates, playmates, whatever you want to call it. Basically we grew up together, and one day we became enemies, and that’s another story for another time. So after I got banished and went to find my sister Faye, oh wait, another detail left out! Faye and I lost our parents to the very pack I was in, but I we’re none the smarter, hints how blackheart became my enemy! Faye was a yearling and I was still a tiny puppy, Blackheart was also a yearling at the time to. When that pack killed my mother and father, they made it look like they we’re trying to save them and stuff, so I believed them. Faye however knew different and left first chance she got.  I lived with them and Blackheart took me under his wing, he was, notice past tense was, a very kind and fun wolf, but his mother changed that. Ok, I’m just getting off track, well after that I found Faye and all was well, well the rest you’ll learn for yourself!

“Frost! Calm down before you do something Irrational!!!” and yes, when I get mad something bad happens, like I kill something. But it’s not that bad of a problem! Ask Swiftpaw, if he was alive. But I just continued to pace around, soon just stopping and lay down, lying head on paws.

“Faye, you know what’s going to happen if he gets her to go with him to the wild, you understand what will happen don’t you? What Nightwind promised him?” Faye’s head drooped down and she gave a soft sigh,

“Yes little brother, I do.” She decided to lay by me now, as she was sitting away, scare I might hurt her, but she sensed my calming down.  I just got up and paced again,

“Frost, sit down!” Faye growled a bit, agitated that I was pacing, cause I’ve been pacing for a hour or so now.

“Frost!” I just kept walking and ignored her, which she finally took her advantage when I had my back turned. She pounced on me and pinned me on my back, only person I ever let pin me is her. Anyway, she was a bit bigger to, so all I could see was big fluffy and ticked off female at me; she gets ticked off easily by the way! I was a bit scared because last time she pinned me she dug a foot into my stomach, I hurt so bad down there I couldn’t eat for a week cause it hurt so bad! But she took care of me, anyway, her eyes had a calmer look and she did the thing I hated the most, only thing I get me to shut up, pay attention, and stop in my tracks, she kissed me, and not your peck on the cheek, this was a Kiss!!! The mouth to mouth type! And she’s my sister!!! My eye widened and I almost threw up, pushing her off and rolled on my stomach and started coughing,

“Faye! I told you to stop doing that!!!” I have no idea why I told her that, even though she’s my sister, I like it when she does that! But I put on the act to throw her off; because I think she likes it to, Freaky.

“Now I have your attention listen.” She backed off me and let me turn around, “We have to do something and keep Blackheart from his next move, got it?” I nodded; we’d think of something, we always can.

Blackheart

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I did it!!! Jenna asked me to be hers and said she was ready to move on! Jenna loved me now and that was final! She never left my side to long, except when she was at her humans’ house, which we’re now creating a problem for me. Because I wanted to spend more time with her. But we we’re breaking the Ice slow but sure, to slow for me though. One evening we sat out together and talked, smiling and laughing together, but there was a few things for me to tell her.

“Jen?” I asked, a bit nervous.

“Yes love?” She smiled back at me; she loved it when I called her Jen now!

“I wanted to ask you something? Or just get it off my chest and make sure you have no problem with it.”

“What is it Blacky?” Good grief I love it when she says that!

“I wanted to know, are you ok with this?” she gave me a worried look,

“Are you saying you think this was a bad idea? Are you not ready and want to wait?”

“Of course I’m ready! But, how old are you?” She seemed almost shocked,

“Why do you wish to know that?”

“Please?”

“Ok, I’m 5 years old in human years” I sighed,

“I asked because I lied, I’m not 5, I’m only 3 in human years.” She seemed surprised, but she actually probably liked that more than me being older.

“Your only 3 years old?” I heard her give a soft giggle, “I don’t care about age, I just love you the way you are!” with that she gave me a gentle lick to the cheek and my ears perked,

“Thanks Jen, I needed to hear that.” With that we kissed, ah, it was such a wonderful moment for my 1 love was laying there with me. Soon a new matter had to be brought to our attention, my final step.

“Jen, how much do you love me?”
“I love you more than anything!” She said in reply, licking my face “why?”

“Jen… I want too go home to the wild again, I’m not enjoying this life of hiding constantly just to be with you.” Jenna’s ears pined and she looked down,

“I see your leaving.” I nodded,

“This life is hard for me Jen, and I’m making to many sacrifices that I’m hurting my own health!” Jenna was feeling very bad at this moment.

“If you want to go that’s ok, but will you ever come back?” She asked with a whine,

“I would, but I won’t go unless, you come with me.” Jenna gasped,

“Leave Rosie and them to go with you? They would worry themselves sick!” I whined, and it was hinting I was hurt that she loved a human more than me, but then she nudged me, “I’m sorry” But I was going to get her, that’s final.

“Jenna, has Rosie played less with you and more with her friends?” Jenna nodded, “When was the last time you played a game with her?”

“It’s been about a week, but I’m sure she has good reasons. I think.” I was grinning inside now, I had her on the hook, now reel it in!

“How long do you think it will be before she starts ignoring you? Admit it, she’s growing up and she won’t need you anymore, and you’ll be heartbroken. So here’s your choices, we continue this life, you soon go into depression cause Rosie wont spend time with you, and I get hurt by sneaking and wanting to be with you causing me heartache, and muscle aches.” Jenna looked even sadder at this,

“Or you can come with me to the Wild; where I can take care of you, be with you almost constantly, we can even have a family without having to watch them be given away! We can spend the rest of our days together then in happiness.” Jenna look at me then asked,

“You love me enough; you’re hurting yourself and would die just to see me alone?” I nodded, and that wasn’t a Lie. She only nuzzled my neck,

“Blackheart, I see now, you love me more than anything, even life, and you would protect me, love me, and even take care of a family with me, and being loyal and I see that now. First thing sunrise, I’m going home with you.” I smiled and was only a few seconds form jumping around and yipping happily.
