Chapter 1: An Accident.

In the deep wooded area of the forest a grayish-black alpha male spoke to his wolf pack. "We must leave here at once. The deer herds have moved on, and we must do the same to stay alive." Many heads nodded in agreement.

Then, a small gray wolf asked, in a rather high voice, "But Belay, can't we just eat the rabbits and other small animals here?" Belay chuckled warmly. "Oh, my little brother…we cannot eat only small animals. We must depend on bigger and stronger animals to give us our strength. And we must learn to work together if we want to be a stronger pack. We learn to work together by hunting larger animals." After a brief second the little wolf nodded, showing that he understood his leader. Belay then averted his attention back to the whole pack. "Get some rest, for we leave tonight." Without question the pack left the leader's meeting.

Meanwhile………..

It was 5:00 p.m. at Camp Kidney. Slinkman was getting ready to take Lazlo, Clam, and Raj to town to do laundry. The Jelly Cabin was to do the laundry that day. The reason Slinkman was starting so late was because the activities for that day were going to result in what badges the campers were going to receive. By 5:00 the activities were done and the campers were winding down for the day. Slinkman knew that it would be a perfect time to leave for town.

He gathered the Jelly Trio together and led them to the bus. On the way there he reminded the boys to take their time with the laundry. "Okay guys, the Laundry Mat closes at 11:00, so you can take your time. You don't need to rush. And do one load at a time. You don't want to cause the washing machine to explode, do you?" Lazlo, Raj, and Clam glanced at each other, remembering the last time did Camp Kidney's laundry. They had tried to do all the laundry in one load, and actually did cause the washing machine to explode.

When they reached their destination Slinkman said, "Okay guys, I'll be back in a few hours. Try not to wreck anything while I'm gone." Lazlo just smiled and said with a salute, "Aye aye, Super Slug." With a sigh Slinkman let them off the bus then left to go back to Camp Kidney.

Four long hours later Slinkman and the Jelly Trio were leaving the Laundry Mat with the bag full of nice clean clothes and no sign of destruction to property anywhere. "I think that's a first," Slinkman thought as he scanned the area.

It was completely dark outside, because it was 9:00 so Slinkman had to use the headlights to see where he was going. He wanted to have Fog lights so he could see if there were any deer coming out of the woods that night. But this was a regular old bus, and most buses don't have Fog Lights, so he would have to use what he had.

Meanwhile………..

Fifteen minutes before Slinkman was taking the Jelly Trio back to Camp Kidney, Belay let out a long low, deep howl to call everyone in his pack together. "My brothers and sisters", his voice started, "It is time to leave this land. It is time to follow the deer herd to a new land. We may someday return to this land, but I don't think we will. Follow me, for we leave now." And as he said the word 'now' he began to run. Although he was old his broad shoulders kept him ahead of everybody. He was old, but still strong. The only two who could keep up with him were two wolves. One was his son, Nova. He was a wolf who was as black as a moonless night. The other was a white wolf. White as the moon, some would say. Her name was Starlight. She was a very good friend of Nova's. They had known each other since they were kids. As they ran alongside Belay Starlight asked, "Belay, do you know where we are going?" Belay answered her without even looking at her, "No, my sister. I do not." After a brief second Belay said to Starlight, "Starlight I have a job for you." Starlight turned all of her attention to her leader. "I need you to fall behind and make sure everyone gets to where we are going. Make sure nobody falls behind." Starlight was amazed that Belay would give her such a big job,since she was usually given the job of watching the pups, but she accepted the job. She turned around and ran towards the herd. She ran towards the back of the herd to survey everyone. That way she would notice if anyone fell behind.

Fifteen Minutes Later…………

Soon they approached a dirt road. Starlight ran up to the middle of the group and stopped on the road to make sure everyone got across. Suddenly, she heard a noise. She had never heard the noise before, but she didn't like the way it sounded. It sounded like a monster to her. A big hungry monster looking for food. She tried to hurry the pack along, because it sounded like it was coming up the road…directly to the pack. As soon as the pack got across she bolted after them before the monster got to them. But, before she reached them she heard a little, high-pitched voice call out. "Wait for me", it called. Then Starlight heard a yelp. She turned to see the little gray wolf (whom we met earlier), who was named Caspian, on the ground. Starlight heard a louder monster noise. She looked down the road to see two beams of lights coming towards Caspian. Caspian turned to look as well, but was blinded by the light. Starlight now knew that he wouldn't be able to move from his spot because of the light beams.

On the bus Slinkman was congratulating to the Jelly Trio on a job well done. "Great job today, guys. You got all of the laundry done and left without breaking any property. I'm really proud of you." While saying this he wasn't looking at the road. He was looking in the mirror they have above the bus steering wheel to talk to the Jelly Trio. Suddenly Lazlo yelled, "Slinkman look out!" Lazlo had been sitting in the third seat on the buses right side when he saw the little wolf on the road. Slinkman's eyes bolted back to the road. He didn't see the little wolf, but a big white wolf. Starlight had jumped out into the road and grabbed Caspian and threw him into the woods towards the pack. Slinkman hit the break, but buses don't stop on dimes. Slinkman tried to keep the bus from hitting the wolf, but failed to do so. Starlight looked to see the monster, but all she saw was a bright light and stars, and then darkness. She felt pain in her right leg. She knew she was thrown from where she was hit. In the darkness, Starlight laid there, slowly slipping out of consciousness.

On the bus Slinkman asked the trio "Is everybody okay?" They all nodded. Then Lazlo said, "Slinkman, I think you hit something." "Go see", Clam added. Slinkman, Lazlo, Raj, and Clam stepped off the bus and searched for what they hit. Soon Raj called out, "Guys, over here." They went over to where Raj was and were surprised to see a white wolf on the ground. "Is it dead", Raj asked Slinkman? "No. Look. It's still breathing." Indeed the four of them could see the wolf's chest moving up and down. "What do we do with it", Lazlo asked? "Vet," Clam added. "Are they open this late", Raj asked? "Let's hope so," Slinkman answered.

Starlight was slipping into unconsciousness more and more by the second. She could hear voices around her, but was unsure if the voices were friendly or deadly. Although she could hear the voices, she couldn't understand them. Suddenly she felt herself being lifted up and carried somewhere. When she was placed down she was on something leathery and soft. She realized that the bodies of the voices must have been friends, since they were taking her somewhere, instead of leaving her on the side of the road. Thinking this she let herself slip completely out of consciousness.
