The ferns and leaves landed at my feet. I stared at Flame from the small hole, not knowing what to say. His back was towards me, he was looking out over

the clearing, where two other wolves were laying, probably taking night watch i thought. After a few heart-beats, i swept the ferns to the back of the cave

with my paw, placing them in a pile against the wall. The ferns were soft and more comfortable them i thought they would be. I rolled onto my side, facing the

wall, the cave was slightly lit up by the light of the moon, i could barely make out anything in the cave, except a few rocks and scratch marks on the wall.

The silence of night over took me and i fell asleep with nothing on my mind but what tomorrow might bring.

"Get up! Where did you get these ferns?" A loud voice pierced my ears, i jumped awake, shuffling the ferns i was sleeping on. The grey scarred wolf, i

knew as Fang, had his head poked in the hole in the wall, his teeth were bared and his green eyes glistening with anger, "Well?" He snapped, i began to

stammer, "I-I-Flame gave them to me." I crouched against the cave wall, bracing myself, "WHAT?" Fang yelled, "FLAME GET OVER HERE." Fang quickly

turned his head and bright sunlight poured into the cave. When i adjusted to the bright light, i heard a set of foot prints coming towards the cave, "Flame,"

Fang began, "Why did you give the prisoner ferns?" I could not see Flame's head through the hole, i crept closer so i could hear better, "I gave the ferns to

her so she would be more comfortable, Fang." I heard Flame say, his voice was calm and soothing to me. Fang growled and looked at me through the hole,

"You have to meet Silver now." He said, his eyes narrowed and serious. Before i could say anything, Fang turned and nodded to Flame, "Take down the wall

and bring her to the clearing." Flame didn't speak, he just nodded back and turned to me as soon as Fang walked out of sight, "I'm getting you out of here."

He said, his amber eyes glittering. I whispered, "But, how?" He smiled. Or at least i think he smiled, he started to dig out the boulders that made up the wall,

slowly more and more sunlight entered the cave. When all the boulders were removed, he walked into the cave and faced me, "Let's go."
