     *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 FANTASTIC being in the apprentice den! I swear BearFang had me up all night, telling stoys and playfighting with me! I love it there!"

 Moona smiled at the apprentice. SnowPaw smiled back. " So," She wagged her tail. " What are we doing?" Moona was pleased with the egearness in the little pups voice. " Ok, first, i`ll tour you around the woods. Then, if you want to, i`ll show you some hunting skills." SnowPaw bounced up, her white pelt ruffleing up and stick out. " Well," She bounded up the slope. "What are you waiting for Moona! Lets go!"

                 ******

 Moona crouched low and stuck her paw out near SnowPaws face. "This," Monna said. " Is the swipe. Use it against the Sysco Pack. It`ll swipe them across the face and send them running away like a poor little pup!" 

 SnowPaw smiled and echoed Moonas stance. " Be the wolf, be the wolf," Moona was opening her mouth to say something but heard a bird chirping near-by. " You hear that SnowPaw?" Moona flicked her gaze at SnowPaw. "That," She bounded in the air and took away the life of the bird. "Is fresh kill." SnowPaws mouth was open. "Wow! Can I try?" Moona nodded. "Snif the air. Did you catch any scent?" SnowPaw nodded, and stepped forward. " Mouse!" She raced away threw a pair of nettles and ploped down infront of Moona secends later, was a dead mouse. 

 " Good job!" Moona exlaimed and nuzzled the pup. SnowPaw glowed. " Now, im afraid we have to end todays lesson, and bring this food back to camp." Moona said. She saw SnowPaw look CrestFallen but then Moona added. " Maybye later on today we can go hunting. Maybye." SnowPaw raised her head and toutched noses with Moona. " I  Amaya said you were the best warrior, and I agree with her!"

  Moona smiled and placed her muzzle against Her flank. "And your the best apprentice." She licked Snowpaws ear and summend with a flick of her tail. Monna got her bird and SnowPaw grabed the Rabbit firmly in her jaws. Together they headed towrds camp, SnowPaw shareing glory of Moona all the way.

  As Moona came to the camp wolves were clusterd and frainticly running. Moona met up with PaddedPaw at the fresh kill pile. She droped off her Rabbit and PaddedPaw said. " Amaya wants to talk to you." Moona nodded and fled to Amayas den.

 As she came near the entrance to Amayas den, she overheard loud talking. Moona pricked her ears and went closer. This she heard a wolf say: " Amaya, dont tell her. I want this to be a surprise...If you do, i`ll order my father to tear you to shreds."

 "Jet, but she needs to now, she in danger I-" Jet snarled. " Do what I say scat head! My father will know if you disobay me. He would kill you in a heartbeat."

 " This is your leader your talking to," Amayas voice grew stern and cold. " Now go! Get out of my sight!" Jet stalked past Moona without noticeing her. Flustered, Moona made her way to Amaya in her den. 

 Amayas head rose up. Her eyes gleamed. But her voice was stiff."Ah Moona. I need to tell you something. Please dont be alarmed at what im gonna say, Moona." 

 Moona nodded her head and Amaya started speaking. "Your mother, Iyra was killed, as you allready know, but by Bayro. Then, one day I saw a helpless lost pup in the forest, Jet. I took it under my wing, I then learned that her father..." She hesitated. " Her father was Bayro."  Moona gasped. She looked at her paws for a moment and then with a flick of her tail, told Amaya she could fininsh speaking. " Then, she said to me before you came in here that she was gonna kill you. I pleaded but Jet sworn that if Moona wasent killed she would order her father to wipe out the Imoyed Pack. Be strong Moona, watch out for her. Stay away from her."

 Moona shook her head. She wanted just to snuggle up with BlackPaw and hide there forever. Then, she got to her paws and found herself raceing across the clearing towrds the battle feild. 

  There, she bent down, head low, and cryd. The trees shook, showing mercy for Moona. She felt that she could turn to no one. Then, her mourning was interupted when a Black Paw was shoved into her face. 

 She looked up and saw that it was Jet. 

          Live or Die 

 " Well, well, well, little miss, Moona. Come here to die? Well, you have come to the right place." 

 Moona growled. " Your father killed my Mother. How can I forget that? Now, you want to kill ME! Your not gonna get your chance. Im sticking up for my mother, so she can see that the secret was reveled, and that no one else dies to the cuase of your family." 

 Jet let out a brittle laugh. " How funny can you get?" She spat. Moona ignored her bad mood.  The Jet began to circle her. " Just rember, " Jet started. " When your dead, noone will remember you. And if you dont die, -then of corse you will,- I`ll kill you leader, you freinds, I`ll take over the pack! My dad and me will join forces, will have twice the teritory, and you cant stop us." 

 Moona bit back a bad respose. Jet glared at her threw green slits. Moona took this option to head for Jet. She did, and knocked Jet down, ecsposeing her tummy. Moona grunted and dug her claws in Jet intill Jet threw Moona off. 

 Moona scrambled to her paws as Jet started talking. " Poor wolf, in a few minutes your gonna get torn up. Your gonna get killed. Poor wolf." Moona was still trying to get her senses clear when Jet lifted her head up and let out a shrill howl...In a instint 50 are more wolves dashed out of the woods and into the Battle Feild. Moona braced her self for a endless blood battle, were only the other side would win. She took in the bile stench. It reaked of Scyco Pack!

 Moona fought back panic as she stared at the angry wolves faceing her. ' If I die,' Moona told herself. ' Let there be hope for my pack.' Then Moona flashed an idea in her mind. It hit her like a train. " Ok Jet," Moona let out. " Wanna play fair?Thats alright with me!" Then Moona let out a highpitched howl...

          Back at camp

                                     ~~~

Amaya pricked her ears as teh howl rand threw the camp. Before she knew it she was on her paws, raceing towrds her warriors. " Everyone! Moona needs us," She paused a moment to let her warriors hear the howl. " We need to help her. Evryone, follow me."

 Amaya briskly made her way to the healers den and poked her head in to BlackPaw. "BlackPaw," She said. " Come on, its your time to shine."

               *

         At the Battle Feild 

 Moona waited despertly as she wanted her warriors to come. She was about to give up all hope intll she heard a feirce Battle cry....Amaya! The Warriors!

 She gathered up strength as Amaya and her warriors stood next to her. Moona searched the warriors for familoer faces. PaddedPaw, Simon, Amaya, BlackPaw!

 BlackPaw gave her a wink and smiled. Moona smiled as a new load of strength  piled over her. Moona looked at Jet. Jets face was not full of fear but of evil. Then the heart pounding words came at the same momment by the two leaders: "ATACK!"

 The two Packs howled and tore at each other. Moona leaped on a wolf and tore out a clump of its fyr. She turned it over and then rakked her claws on the wolfs belly. It screeched like a pup and then was followed by more wolves, they sped into the forest and didinit come back.

  Soon the only wolves left were Jet, Moona, Amaya and her warriors. " Jet, Come a step closer and we will rip your eyes out!" Moona said. She glanced at Amaya. She was growling. And then Amaya said. " Get lost! Go to your dad! They will ecept you. We wont!" Jet snarled then looked defted. " Fine! I`ll do. Your stupid pack can lay dead! And keep watching..Cuz you will all die!" With that she fled towrds the woods. The wolves howled victory.

 "We did it!" Moona shouted. Moona was greeted by BlackPaw. " You did it," He said. And rested his muzzled on her shoulder. She licked him in return. And Moona felt that she could stay there forever. In peace, love, and careing.

             The end!
