I don't own anything

Chapter 11

Now that the rain had stopped they continued walking through the forest. Everyone was quite until Hige spoke up.

"Hey, Kiara, what is your clan like?" asked Hige.

"Well I know that my clan has always been big. My father offered any wolf or pack to join. My father went off when day to find his brothers, but he found out that they were all killed defending their pack. So my father lead their pack to my clan." said Kiara.

"Your father sounds like a good man." said Blue.

"He is. He always treats my mother right and the clan." said Kiara.

"Do you have an siblings?" asked Toboe.

"I have seven younger brothers. I'm the oldest and the only girl." said Kiara.

"That must have been hard." said Kiba.

"Not really. You see my mother didn't like the fact that I was her only daughter so she kept me close until I got older." said Kiara.

"Now I see why you're so strong." said Tsume. Kiara blushed at Tsume's statement. They kept walking until they came to a desert area. Kiara looked around and stopped when she saw a certain mountain line.

"So where do go from here?" asked Hige.

"Those mountains. There is a large valley where my clan is." said Kiara pointing to the mountain line.

"All right let's get moving." said Kiba. They started moving across the desert with Kiara in the lead. It started getting dark. "Kiara we should stop for the night."

"I guess you're right." said Kiara. They sat down and Toboe, Hige, and blue fell asleep right away. Kiba and Tsume laid down on the either side of Cheza. Kiara stood a little ways from the group staring out into the darkness. Tsume got up and walked over to her.

"We should reach the valley tomorrow. You should get some rest, Kiara. You'll need your strength." said Tsume.

"I'm not tired and it's not that. I was told to never sleep in the desert." said Kiara.

"Why?" asked Tsume.

"To many snakes and scorpions." said Kiara.

"Why does your clan live so close to the desert?" asked Tsume.

"It's harder for the humans to get to the clan." said Kiara. That night Kiara and Tsume stated up and watched over the others.

The next morning:

Kiba was the first one to wake up. He looked around and saw Kiara and Tsume sitting away from the group. He got up and walked over to them.

"Did you two sleep at all?" asked Kiba.

"Nope." said Kiara.

"Are you going to be okay to travel?" asked Kiba.

"We'll be a okay." said Tsume. The others woke up one by one. Tsume was sitting with Kiara leaning against him. Everyone was waiting for Hige to wake up. "I thought I slept in." Without saying a word Kiara got up and walked off.

"Kiara!" said Blue. She came back holding a snake around her arm. Tsume smiled at the fact of what she was about to do. She walked over to Hige and set the snake on his leg. The snake went up his leg and got under his hoodie. Hige woke up and tried to get the snake out of his hoodie. Everyone started laughing at Hige.

"Get it off! Get it off! Get it off!" said Hige.

"All right calm down." said Kiara. Hige stopped moving and the snake came up the caller. Kiara held her hand out. The snake moved from Hige's hoodie and up Kiara's arm. The snake went up her arm and gentle wrapped around her neck.

"That was so not funny Kiara!" said Hige.

"Yes I was. Relax she's harmless." said Kiara.

"What do you mean?" asked Toboe.

"When I was young I use to make friends with some of the nonpoisonous snakes. She's one of them." said Kiara.

"Is it much further to the valley?" asked Kiba.

"Not much. We should be able to get there in about an hour." said Kiara. They started moving toward the mountains with Kiara in the lead. They got to a rocky area. "Be careful here. Scorpions tend to hide in the cracks."

"Did you scorpions?" asked Hige.

"Yeah." said Kiara.

"First snakes now scorpions!" said Hige.

"Quit your complaining." said Tsume. They got up the rocky area and into the valley. Everyone looked around except Kiara since she was use to it when she was younger. The snake that was wrapped her neck went down her body and went off on it's own.

"It's beautiful here!" said Blue.

"That's another reason why we stay here. They should be around that bend." said Kiara.

"Let's go." said Kiba. They went around the mountain bend and saw a huge valley with many wolves. There were cubs running around with their parents watching close by. Close to them was a barbed wire fence to mark their territory. At the entrance were two wolves. One was female and looked like Kiara just a few years older and her hair wasn't as long. She was wearing a black shirt that looked like it was splatted by paint, black jeans, and black boots. The male had blue eyes and had light brown hair that went to his shoulders. He was was wearing a black tank top, blue jeans, and black boots.

"What do you think you are doing here?" asked the male.

"What do you think I'm doing here? Now move!" said Kiara. The man growled before turning into a midnight black wolf and tackled Kiara to the ground. Kiba and others were about to jump in when they realized that the man was just licking her face while Kiara was laughing.

"Uh…unless they lick themselves to death here, I think we should cool it." Tsume said as he and others relaxed. The man got off of Kiara and turned back into his human form before helping Kiara up.

"It's good to see you!" said the man. The women walked over Kiara and hugged her.

"It's good to have you back, Kiara." said the women.

"Uh Kiara want to fill us in?" asked Kiba as they let go.

"Oh sorry. I would like you to meet my mom Gem and my brother Andrew. Mom, Andrew I want you to meet my friends: Tsume, Kiba, Toboe, Blue, Hige, and Cheza the flower maiden." said Kiara.

"Come on. The others are going to want to see you." said Gem. They walked into their camp. Kiara saw her brothers play fighting until her mom whistled getting their attention. "Look who's back!"

"KIARA!" they yelled before running over.

"Oh no." Kiara mumbled. Right before they tackled her, Tsume moved her aside. Kiara giggled when she saw her brothers tackle the ground.

"So not cool man!" said the tall one as he stood up. His eyes were red like Kiara's and had short spiky brown hair. He was wearing a black shirt two sculls on the front, black jeans, and black shoes.

"Relax Alexander, he didn't want me getting flattened by you guys." said Kiara. They got up and went to hug me all at once when Tsume stopped them again.

"One at a time." said Tsume. They all agreed, so one by one Kiara hugged her brothers.

"I want you to meet the rest of my brothers: Alexander, Mike, Cory, Kyle, Jack, and Jax. Guys I want you to meet my friends Tsume, Kiba, Toboe, Blue, Hige, and Cheza." said Kiara. Kiara's dad walked over.

"It's good to finally have my daughter back." said her dad.

"Dad! Guys this is my dad John…" said Kiara.

"I heard you introducing them to your brothers. Kiara I have something for you." said John.

"Really? What is it?" asked Kiara.
