I can hear something beeping in the background, someone talking though I can't make out the words and my mother, I can hear my mother crying but I can't see her. Truthfully I can't see anything, everything is dark. I want to find you mommy but I'm sleepy, I want to go to sleep. . . .

'Oh, why does my head hurt so much, and where am I?'
"On the ground, the ground that's just lovely someone has kidnapped us, dumped us on the ground by a bunch of trees and left us to rot. Well it's not really a bunch of trees, more like a forest I guess. I mean I can't see anything but trees and more trees so we must be in a forest right dad? Dad? Daddy this isn't funny, get out here right now. Daddy? You are here right; I mean they took you too, didn't they? Who am I kidding you would never be this mean to me. You're not here, nobody is. I'm all alone in this stupid place."

'You're not alone'
'we're here so'
'you can't possibly '
'be alone right now'

"Who's there? Come out where I can see you, I can't talk to invisible people, that would make me crazy." I watched as two beautiful wolves came out from behind the tree in front of me, but that was it no one else came out. "This isn't funny. I demand that you show yourselves to me immediately!"

'But we already have love'
'Unless you're blind'
'You can see us'
'Clear as crystal'
'Right in front of you.'

" The only things I see are wolves and they do not talk, not unless you're crazy, which I'm not."

'Are you sure about that'
'because we can leave'
'But you're right'
'we can't talk, well'
'Speak, out loud'
'But we can say'
'whatever we'd like to'
'In your mind.'

" If you're in my head then what am I thinking about?"

'Peanut Butter.' The voices said simultaneously.

"This is crazy. I'm losing it, animals that can read your mind. Not possible , , , "

'Quite possible actually'

" Oh would you just shut up! Bloody talking wolves. Why haven't I just run away from you already?"

'Well it's not as if'
'we've attacked you'
'Just came by'
'to say hello,'
'Hello'
'and to find out'
'what you're doing'
'in our woods'
'we don't get your kind'
'In here very often.'

" Well hello then, . . . What are your names, you never did tell me and that's very rude of you."

'I'm Silver'
'and I'm Shadow'
'Who are you?'

"It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Margaret Amelia Hensen, but please call me Mellie."

'Nice to meet you Mellie'
'but we still don't know'
'What you're doing'
'I our woods.'

" I, I'm not exactly sure. I was with my dad in the car. We were going to pick up flowers for my mums birthday, lillies they're her favorite, and the next thing I remember is waking up on the ground, here. I don't know what happened, but I should find my dad. He gets terribly worried when I go missing."

'Well he's not here'
'you're the only one'
'of your kind'
'to come into our woods'
'Since the war.'

" My kind, you said that before. What do you mean my kind?"

'Your kind, you, people'
'He means Humans.'
