(two years ago)

The moon shone brightly over head as the four figures moved silently through the forest. The first a large brown wolf with streaks of silver stitched into his muzzle, Next a beautiful silver female her golden eyes shone through the night, and at her feet a small black puppy with his father's brown streaks running through his fur and mother's golden eyes. "Are we almost there?" the female's calm pleasing voice called. "Yes" came another aggervated voice. At the front was a human he had short cut blond hair, he was a tall lanky young man, his skin a sickly pale and he had a shadow across his thin face. "Are you sure this'll be safe Dylan?" the male snapped protectively. "Yes Thalon I'm sure!" Dylan stated. Thalon snorted picking up his son by the scruff of the neck. They pushed their way out of the forest and into a moonlit valley. The moon shineing on the grass makeing it look like a rolling wave in the ocean. "Well Dylan I'm suprised your the only human capable of keeping a promise to werewolves." Thalon smirked. Dylan chuckled sheepishly "And no one will ever find you!" he exclaimed. "No one except us" A cruel voice came as all the figures whirled around.

There stood a man dressed in what looked like an army uniform. He held a rather devilish looking hunting knife in his hand, it's sharp jagged blade shone in the moon glow. Thalon stepped infront of his family "You best run if you wish to keep your life William!" he growled. William chuckled "I think we both know you can't stop me Thalon. Not while I have this." He pulled on the chain that hung around his neck revealing a silver coated shotgun bullet. The wolves all took a step back. "Get them!" William smugly shouted. With lighting fast movement shoved Chase toward Dylan and out of any danger. Just as he did a net fell over their heads. "Dylan run!" he growled "Don't forget the plan!" Dylan quickly grabbed Chase by the scruff and raced off. "Forget him we got what we wanted" came William's voice followed by shouting and howls of pain. Dylan arrived at his truck and sat Chase gently on the ground. He turned to his truck and began digging through his pockets for his keys. "What are we gonna do now?" came a young voice. Dylan looked around over his shoulder and there stood a fourteen year old boy, he had a strong build his shadowy black hair was spiked in the front and his eyes were cold and shone of a bright gold. "Well Chase..." Dylan began "We're going through with your father's plan." he murmered. Chase sighed but nodded as he slid into the passenger seat The next morning Chase stood quietly next to Dylan his "father" on the outside of a large brick building. "Good luck kid" Dylan said patting Chase on the back then returning to his truck. Chase rolled his eyes and made is way to the front door. He made his way inside "Hold it young man" a voice called. Chase whriled around looking at a short, fat man with a handle bar mustache. "You must be the new student...Chase nodded. "Do you speak boy!" he demanded. Chase shook his head. The man rolled his eyes and signaled Chase to follow him. Chase followed and the man dumped him in some room filled with other kids. The teacher blabbed on about Africa but Chase scanned the room and stopped seeing a beautiful girl. She had wavey shoulder length brown hair, and dreamy green eyes. She gazed at him makeing him look down at his desk. He heard her laugh and gazed back up at her. She was smileing and he smiled back "I'm Miley" she introduced cuirously. "I'm Chase" he whispered lowly. She laughed again though he didn't find anything funny. "I think were going to be good friends" she smiled takeing his hand. All he could do was smile.

(Return to were we left off)

"Leave her alone!" I shouted leaping onto Chase clutching as much fur as I could with my pathetic human paws. We rolled about his snarls filled the air as my human shouts echoed. I had lost sight of Miley assumeimg she was in a tree or somthin'. We rolled about but I felt his massive paws shove upward into my gut, and I was flipped over and into the grass. I quickly sat up as Chase turned to face me teeth bared. I felt someone grip the shoulder of my jacket. I spun around to see Miley's terrified green eyes.

"Riley what do we do?" she whimpered

"Cry..."

"What?!" her eyes got round

"Er...uh..r-run I said run! C'mon!" I jumped up and grabbed her hand pulling her up.

She took of sprinting and I stummbled after her. Once I finally got my balance I awkwardly tried to match her stride but was unsucsessfuly stummbleing behind. Well she runs track and I chase tennis balls. Over the pounding of my heart I heard the thundering of four massive paws. With extreme regret I gazed over my shoulder and saw the Massive wolf charging after us. "Look out!" I whirled around to the sound of Miley's terrified voice. We slid to a stop at the edge of a cliff trapped! "I got you now Miley...for the last time!" Chase grinned. He lunged vicously. "Riley!" Miley screamed from behind me. "Back off!" I snarled lunging and hitting head on with the wolf . We rolled in mid air tumbleing back to earth. I felt the ground come up from no were. We rolled again as I grabbed his snout begining to pry open his jaws. His teeth cut through my human skin like knives, even through the pain I continued to pry. Soon I had a good grip and with what strength I had left I slammed his head into a tree with all my might. When I did he became limp.

I staggered up watching him, but in the dim light I saw his sides slowly rising and falling. I felt gentle hands on my shoulders and knew Miley was there. The sun slowly peaked over the hills, turning the sky purple, soon the sun rays peaked through the branches of the trees and once were a wolf lay their lay a human. I blinked lifting my hands covered with blood from heavy cuts. "My parents'll take care of those" Miley comforted as if I were a real human.

"Uh yeah ok but...I'm not a dog anymore." I grumbled.

"Well maybe you could be...an exchange student" she smiled.

We moved quietly through the yard. Last time I was here I was a dog.

"Miley there you are!" I heard Mileys Mom's voice.

Then saw her parents raceing out to hold her. They both hugged her then their eyes fell on me.

"Mom, Dad this is Riley my friend from..."

"Alaska" I interrupted.

"Yeah" Miley smiled.

"He's cute" I heard her Mom whisper to her. I smiled,but her Dad's eyes stayed locked on me.

"What happened to your hands" he snarled. Then I remembered my bloody hands.

"Oh my gosh what happened to you!" her mother fretted.

"I was in a fight..."

"Did they have knives!" again her dad suspicously accused.

"Er..yes"

"Oh honey come in I'll get you some bandages" her mothers kind voice rang in my ears as we followed them in. Her dad watched me slyly. Her mother wrapped my hands in white bandages and after yet again avoiding her insane father we went out onto the porch to plan our next move.

"So were am I going to stay until we see Chase again?" I questioned.

"I'm not sure..." she admitted.

"What about Brian...he'd let me stay!" I offered.

"That's a great Idea....have you always been this smart?" she questioned. I nodded. As we got up and started toward the neighbor's house. We arrived at Brian's house and Miley knocked on the door. As the door opened there stood a tall muscular man, he had a buzz cut hair style. His face however was kind.

"Hello Miss Miles" he smiled.

"Hi Brian" she greeted as I remained quiet.

"Who's your friend?" Brian's kind eyes fell on me.

"Riley...he's an Exchange student, can he stay here?" Miley smiled.

Brian chuckled "well sure Miss Miley. He can stay in the guest house out back." Miley smiled grabbing my hand and jerking me after her. We reached the guest house. It was quiet nice on the inside, a dark blue carpet streatched out before us, there was a black leather couch that sat nicely infront of a beautiful limestone fire pit, and on the wall hung a flat screen TV.

"Nice place..." I muttered

"Yeah..." I heard Miley whisper. I gazed at her she was blushing but didn't say anything.

"Wha-" before I could finish she touched her lips to mine. Nothing could compare to the awkward yet pleasure of that moment. She pulled back"Oh...S-sorry Riley." she was still blushing.

"I...uh..." I choked.

"I'll see ya tommarrow" she turned and walked of leaveing me in a daze.

"Awww how sweet!" came a voice. I looked wildly around and in the corner saw a basket were a red husky lay looking at me. I smirked "Whats it to you Kodi." Kodi was one of my friends from Nome Brian adopted him when Miley adopted me.

"Well I...Wait! You understand me! Wait! You know my name!" he barked.

"The only one around here knows my name is..Riley!" I shook my head.

"Y-Your Human! How..."

I took a deep breath "It's a long story..."
