I'm so sorry guys, I've been so busy with school and trying to get a job! Ive also given myself a cut off at eleven so that any story that isn't finished won't be posted on today.
I've written most of everything and plan to work on everything else tomorrow. So here's the monthly and weekly post combined and it might flow into tomorrow. Thank you to everyone who's reviewed.
Chapter- The Pack is here
That was only about a month ago, I sighed and stretched like a cat, Kitty and I had worked the previous day, so we've been resting.
"Hey, Ashlyn-Kitty," Zali -who had become more like a second father to me-came towards us,"It's getting late and the old-timer hasn't gotten back yet- could you two go get 'em? "
I nodded,"Sure we can!" Kitty got up and followed after me.
"Do you think we'll see those new males everyone's talking about?" I stopped and looked back at her, she whined in annoyance,"Tell me you heard!"
I shook my head,"I've been recovering from yesterday, which means sleeping all day where Moss can't find me...New males- there're new males here?"
Kitty nodded,"Yup, and your as CLUELESS as ever- four new males came into the city today- all different ages and colors- one white- to be honest he looked like the alpha- then a big gray- he had a scar on his chest, and a fat looking sandy wolf and the last guy was red and was-"
"No more than a pup?"
Kitty looked at me with shock,"How did ya' know?"
Yes, suck a great question, I thought kicking myself. I blushed and muttered,"L-lucky guess! A-all packs have to have one pup at sometime, right?!"
Kitty rolled her eyes but stayed quiet. I picked up our pace and trotted on. The city was never a good one when it got late, the faster we were home the better.
I padded silently threw the graveyard," Man,"I shivered,"This place gives me the creeps!"
Kat grabbed me and pulled me into the bushes,"Look!" she whispered excitedly,"Its them! Those new males!"
I sighed and turned to look, sure enough there were four males standing above the old timer, they all went into their human forms,'WOW,' I thought,'THEY ALL LOOK FAMILIAR.' I sighed and turned to Kitty. The males had reverted to their human forms, the red pup had red hair and amber eyes, a red button up, kaki's and combat boots. The oldest male was dressed in black leather, my instincts screamed at me that I knew him, but I didn't want to stare at him, an the last one, the white male, had on a white shirt a green jacket and blue jeans.
"Stay here-they make one move or if i signal- go get your dad."Kitty nodded before I slunk back into the darkness.
I had my ears pointed forward trying my best to make out the conversation- mainly about why the old timer was here- and that was easy, he was digging his grave. I watched as the old timer lead the group of males away, I took a step forward, unsure if I should continue or follow and make sure the new males wouldn't hurt the older wolf. I looked back to where Kitty was waiting for me and I flicked my tail and tossed my head. Kitty jumped out of the bushes and ran for the city. I nodded in satisfaction and trotted after the wolves. I saw them at the tunnel like place and put up my human illusion. Zali had shown it to me when I had first arrived, saying that it was forbidden to enter it, with no real explanation.
"Ah that reeks, It smells like death warmed over," said one boy in a yellow hoodie and black pants. Throwing his arm over his nose.
"I was kinda hoping it'd be a nicer place," muttered the youngest of them, disappointed with this outcome. The white male took a few tentative steps towards it.
"I wouldn't ," the old man croaked as the white male passed him," There have been young wolves that have set out through there. But, sadly enough, not one has ever reached Paradise. And what's left of the ones who return, is to seek out a living here. Just like the rest of us."

"Yes just like the rest of us," I cleared my throat and they all jumped, my illusion tight around me. They wouldn't get to see my wolf form, even if it was customary, I didn't trust these guys as far as I could throw them,"You should call it a day, old-timer."
The old man turned to me and smiled,"Ah, Ashlyn, it is very nice to see you," he walked toward me and I met him halfway.
"And just who are you?" the boy in the yellow hoodie purred, taking a step forward.
I let out a snarl like a wolf but curled my lip in human form,"Back off!"
The boy held up his hands,"Woah! Just askin a question."
"Whatever," I growled, looping the old man's arm in mine.
"You know digging your hole always tires you out," I smiled at the old timer and took his arm,"But there's work to be done tomorrow, remember?""I see. Well, I've dug it deep enough," The old man smiled.
I turned to lead us away, when the white male barked out,"Wait a minute, Your Alpha said your pack went to Paradise. Is this the path you took?"
" I thought I told you that it doesn't exist" I turned to see a winded looking Kitty and her Father. Kitty stood and tried to make herself-somewhat presentable.
"Zali," the old timer whimpered out, a chastise mixed with a plead. Zali stood between the outsiders and myself, Kitty joined me at my other side.
"If you kids disrupt the peace of this pack in anyway," Zali snarled,"I'll show you no mercy from me now get outta town before dawn- is that clear?"
Kitty took the old timer from me and Zali turned and lead them away, I looked over my shoulder,"I'd listen to him if I were you, you... You don't belong here," I meant it in the nicest way possible, a calm mannerism and trying to but I don't think it came across. I started after Zali and the other two. But I could feel their eyes watching me as I retreated.
Zali stopped me as I entered the city, Kitty and the Old Timer well ahead of us,"Why did you stay behind?"
"To emphasize your warning," I stated nonchalantly plunging my hands into my pockets.
Zali let out a warning growl,"you didn't have to-"
I ran my hand through my hair,"If, they're going to find Paradise, they need to move on right?"
"Ph, right."
