Chapter 1: difference
Outside point of view
It was a bright morning in Jasper Park. Sunlight streamed down onto the trees, giving them a green glow. Rays of sunlight found themselves breaking through the quiet calm of the forest. Two wolves, one white furred with some of the head fur going over one of her lavender eyes. She was being chased by a golden fur with amber-brown eyes.
Kate's point of view
I chased my sister through the woods. She would dodge under fallen trees, over rocks, and around upright trees. But I was still gaining.
"You can't outrun an alpha" I yelled toward her, but I wasn't paying attention and I hit a tree full force. I barely heard her yell "I just did!" By the time I got my vision unblurry Lilly was standing right in front of me.
"Hey Kate do you want to go to the river?"
"Sure"
"Race you there"
"Ok, on three"
"One…two…three!"
We both took off toward the river on the north side of the dens. We race as fast as we both could go. We dodged rock and trees. By the time we got there we were both very tired. We got a drink from the river. It was always cold because the water came from the mountain.
Outside point of view
We move away from Lilly and Kate. Up the river to the top of the mountain. Where the snow blows around like a blizzard. The snow would blind and freeze almost every creature on the mountain. Almost every creature. On the ground in the snow was a paw print about the twice the size of a normal wolf. Outside the cave is a wolf twice the size as normal. Its silver-grey fur with bright ice blue eyes. Large silver spikes lined all over his back and the top of his tail. They were lying flat on him like a suit of armor. Two larger spikes covered over his others at a higher angle. "Humphrey" said a voice. The wolf turned his head to look at the large cavern door that was the doorway to the city in the mountain. In the doorway stood a wolf like Humphrey.
The wolf cocked his head" what are you doing?"
Humphrey sighed "listening, shaky".
"the great mother, again?" shaky asked.
"ya, something is calling down there."
Shaky shook "bad vibes"
Shaky stood up to go back into the city. He turned and said "do what is in your heart" with that he walked into the doorway. Humphrey looked at the stars.
Humphrey's point of view
I sat there staring at the stars for who knows how long. Listening to mother earth. I know that sounds crazy but that is what we do. The wind ruffled through my spikes descending the mountain. Ever since I was a little cub my mother said that small wolves with no spikes lived at the bottom of the mountain. Now I laugh at that. But I always think what is down the slopes of Blight Mountain, my home. It is sad that even though we've been here for two hundred generations, we still don't know what is at the bottom. Many times I've thought about going down, but I don't for two main reasons. One, the paragons, the leaders of our clan, would not allow it. Two, to be honest, we were told that it is a dangerous place at the bottom of the mountain.
Kate's point of view
After we got our drink, we decided that it was about time to start heading home to see how hunting went. Lilly walked right next to me. "you know who you're going to ask to go to the moonlight howl.
"Not yet. You?"
"well, I was thinking about seeing if garth wants to go." Lilly blushed very deeply. I started to laugh at her hesitation, I'm sorry I couldn't help myself.
"I think that is a good chose."
Lilly's ears went straight up," really?"
"Really", I replied. When we got to the den area, Lilly went to go ask mom and dad if it was alright. I smiled at my sister. She was so energetic sometimes. I walked to the base of Blight Mountain. I always wondered what was up there. I remember stories about big wolves with spikes. But all of those were fairytales. I laugh when I hear them now. Those stories can't be true. Can they?
