The wolf eyes Book two:The discovery                               by:Balto676      *Dont be afaid to live the life of the wolf!*             Prolauge   Iyra stepped onto the grassy clearing and crept lower then the grass. She breathed in a sigh and gingerly swept her tail over the dirt. She lay down and with wideung eyes looked out in the dirt in-front of her.   She flinched as she saw paw-prints that were newly there. She sniffed them, with a sense of guilt, found that it was from an enemy.   A russeling of the tall grass behind her made her prick her ears. She looked around, anxity makeing her un-easy. Could it be a enemy?   She watched the russteling grass for a moment then in a flash a paw caught her off gaurd and blood was straming down her face. There was a fresh cut below her right eye.   She clenched her teeth as a white figure apperared. She was rolled onto her back with a cut paw, dripping out blood that trickled down the short grass.   Two glowing yellow eyes looming over her. She gasped as a muscler figure appeared. In a short glance she could sense the eviel boiling up inside him.   He caught Iyra in the throat and held her down with the other paw. She couuld bearly hear what he was saying but then as he shouted once more in her ear it became clear. " Your life is flashing before your eyes eh? Well, it better be. Cu`z there will be no one in my way for killing your family. I`ll kill them, you`ll be sure of that."   She let out a strained gasp before she was finished off by the white figure. The figure watched in amazement as a big fat tear rolled out of Iyras eye.   He laughed bitterly in smite before running off, leaveing the dead body for heavens sake. Out of the cornner of the grass a black wolf appered, touched noses with the dead body and wispherd so soft and toned:" Sorry dear Iyra, your in heavens hands now."                 ******                   Attack!   Moona streched and arched her back. The sound of last nights howl still rang like a prized bell in her ears.      She shifted slightly as a object hurlded past her. She cocked her head at the golden and tan object. Then a smile crept to her lips as the golden and tan object tumbled over each other. Then Moona could see it clearly: PaddedPaw and BlackPaw.   She almost laughed at the confuzeing mass of tails and paws as Padded Paw and BlackPaw struggled to get up. As they got up, BlackPaw darted up and raced to Moona, giveing her a gentle lick on the check. Moona said, eyeing BlackPaw with a gleam in her eyes: " So this is what happens my freinds, when two wollves get tangle up over a peice of meat!" She said the last wor edgey, with a force bigger then the others. Padded Paw made her way over with the scrap of meat they were fighting over. " Well, sorry. It wasent my falt," She glanced sideways at her. " BlackPaw wanted my peice of prey after her ate the others at the camp! He`s such a hog!"   BlackPaw opend his mouth, wanting to protest, but then faced Moona. " I was hungry." He rolled his eyes. Moona rolled her eyes at the both of them. "Shrug it off guys! Were suppost to hunt, not bicker overa scrao of meat!" She walked forward. PaddedPaw flicked her eyes towrds a Bramble Bush. " Thats a good place to look for prey." Moona followed her gaze to a big circle of Brambels. She stepped forward, ingnoreing the  sticks that tugged at her fur, and came into the huge circle of brambels. She gazed around, as PaddedPaw and BlackPaw stepped in.   It was filled with birdsong, and crickets buzzing. She sighed and quickly finished off a BlueJay. She carried it back to BlackPaw and PaddedPaw. They had allready caught alot, and Moona was happy to see that all threes hunting skills had indeed, improved.    She smiled and was about to say something to them both but was interuppted by a viscos sppittting and roaring....   She spun around, focused on the spot were the mystrys animal had made them hear its anger. She looked again, then, felt a pelt rubb next to hers. " If you see it, fight it," Moona said to PaddedPaw. She was leaning closer on Moona, makeing her swagger.    In a heartbeat, a black foot came crashing into the brambles. "M-moona," PaddedPaws voice was trembeling." I-I cant fight it!" She sped away and took cover inside a log. She squrimed in. Moona watched, as the Black Bear scampered and stood on its hind legs. "Come on bear," Moona wisperd. "Come and get me!"   In a flash she raced towrds the bear. She lept for its arm, lazyingly dangleing down. She snapped down, got a good grip, and dug her teeth into flesh. Over the bears thunderous roar Moona heard BlackPaw shouting "Moona! What are you doing?" Moona relaesed her grip on the bears arm and held on with her two front legs. "Saveing you!" She shouted back.  In the time she relased her legs on the bear, she was jiggled off and plumating towrds the ground. Moona watched out of the corner of her eye as BlackPaw dashed under behind her and layed himself to the ground before Moona hit it. She layed ontop of him, amazed. "Thank you." She said and they both tumbled off each other, and took evaseve action for the next bear attack.  She let out a gasp as she was knocked with a powerful paw. She flinched on the ground. Then, she whipped around as the bear came tumbleing after her. "No! BlackPaw shouted. " Leave her alone!" BlackPaw threw himself at the bear, showing no respect for it. Moona squinted her eyes as the bear growled and tossed BlackPaw away. He hit the ground, hard. The bear let out a satisfied grunt and raced away.   Moona padded towrds BlackPaw. His breathing was now in short gasps. PaddedPaw crept over to her. "Is her dead?" She asked, peering over her shouleder. Moona shook her head. "Hes alive, but we should take him back to camp." She turned as a too familer sound rippled threw her ears. The growling of the bear returned. She dug her claws in the earth and yelled: "GO AWAY YOU STUPID BEAR! HAVENT YOU MADE ENOUGH THINGS WORSE!"             She almost let out a tear as she heard it rumbleing away. PaddedPaw bumbed her in the hip. "Comeon," She said. " Lets get back to camp."                 ******    She raced down the slope that came them to the Imoyed Camp Grounds.She breathed in the familr scent of her pack mates, aware that eyes were stareing in wide ovals.  The two raced to the Healers Den, the wide ovals fadeing away only to be in a memory. Moona layed BlackPaw on the ground ever so gingerly. PaddedPaw and her, were greeted with a Healer. The Healer smiled. "Its ok," She promised. " He`ll be allright." Moona nodded in return and fled with PaddedPaw to there den.              Secrets      Moona crept on silint feet as her and the rest of the pack bounded to Amays rock for a gathering. The moon turned silver and glisted and shown on the wolves pelts.  Moona nudged the wolf infront of her with her nose. " Comeon," She muttered. "Move." She found a place at the front row with PaddedPaw right next to her.          Amaya smiled at the wolves below her. Moona watched as Amayas gaze fell on her, with a gleam in her eye.   Amaya started the meeting. " Wolves of Imoyd pack, I present you with two new apprenitcies. Snow Paw, and BearFang. May heavens glory shine apon them and be victores! I may now say the two Mentors. Moona, you will be training SnowPaw." Moona felt pride swell up in her and she stood up proudly next to her new apprentice. Moona gave Snow Paws ear a gentle lick. SnowPaw looked up, eyes blue and shining. Her white pelt reflected the moons own. CloudPaw then said: "I wanna be just like YOU!"    Moona smiled and nuzzled the pup. Amaya annoced the next mentor." PaddedPaw, You will be mentoring BearFang!"  PaddedPaw got up and smiled at the male apprentice. "Were gonna have a great time." She promised, and Moona and PaddedPaw hereded the two apprentices to the crowd of wolves.        Night had turned to day. And the sudden drafty breez ruffled Moonas thick coat. She made her way to the apprentice den, egear to start the day fresh with SnowPaw. "SnowPaw," She wipered as she poked her head in the den. SnowPaw stirred then looked at Moona. She fumbled to get to her paws. She raced over to Moonas side. " Oh my Moona! It was
