The funny thing about life is that it gets screwed up so easily. I mean that if you look back on your life, you will see that there are things that you should have done differently. You will also see that life is a circle and that if you don't fix some things, then they will come back and haunt you until you do. This I just found out. I know, it's a laugh. I just found all this out and I'm already 15 years old. Today seems to be my day for learning things because I'm about to go to a real school for the first time ever. This also means that I'm out of my cage for 6 hours-- yay! But wait, you don't know, do you? So before we go forward, let's go backward.
My name is Xi Cedar. I was born in the Rocky Mountains in a small den next to a lake and within howling distance of a neighboring pack. I was the youngest of the wolf pups and had the den all to myself. I grew quickly. When I was almost 6 months old, an older cub of the pack, Miro, disappeared. Two months later Larken vanished too. I remember watching my parents as the searched the surrounding woods frantically for my older brother. They came up empty-handed. As is the way in the ranks of wolves, the pack mourned their loss for 2 days and then moved on.
There were other things for me to do besides play around with the other pups. It was time to learn to hunt! As I am a quick learner, I caught a mouse on my 2nd day out with my older cousins. It was now my job to help protect the den and find food for the mother of the newborn cubs. At this time I was about 1 year old and almost old enough to go on pack hunts. I stuck close to camp and stayed within sight of my mother so that she would not worry about me going missing too. By then, the days were starting to get longer by a number of minutes each day. It was two days after my birthday, the winter solstice.
After half of the long hard winter was over, I was called upon to find food. I went with my two cousins, Bracken and Giam. We split up; that was probably the worst idea of mine yet. See, this is one of those times that will come back and haunt you if you don't fix it. I remember finding a nice ripe deer with a broken leg and howling with my nose in the snow to tell my cousins where it was, then starting to head back. I remember a cage clanging shut around me, and strange voices and a white coat, then... nothing.
