Chapter 11
Jakes P.O.V
Taking the lead, I race in front of the Rhydian, Maddy and Jana. The strong winds carries new smells to my nose; a mixture of sweet chocolate and wood smoke. On the grass plane we are racing upon, several rabbits scatter away from their grazing patch. With the wind rustling our fur, we feel the freedom of a pack. Wolf form gives us the heightened senses that makes our bodies tingle with excitement. This is the wild within.
Toms P.O.V
From down in the empty village square, the hillside that we said goodbye to Maddie on is framed with autumn trees. Shan snaps some pictures as the leaves flutter to the floor. Sliding closer to me on the bench, she hands me the camera and I press a button to show me the pictures she just took. The pixelated image appears. Under the familiar trees, an unfamiliar rock sits there. Using the slider, I zoom in. It's not a rock; far from it. It's a wolf. "Shan, look at the hill. Quick." Her eyelashes flicker as she peers at the hill. "OMG, Tom!" She screams with happiness. Three wolves pull up alongside the first. In unison they transform to their human selves.
Up on the hill, with tears streaming down our face, we embrace Maddie and Rhydian. Jana stands to the side with another boy, I see Shan shaking hands with him with a grin and I hold onto Maddie. With an amused look on her face, Jana introduces us to the boy, Jake.
We lead them down into the village, then follow he country path to Maddy's old house. Along the way, we tell Maddy, Rhydian, Jana and Jake about how we undermined Dr Whitewood and how she has recently been arrested for breaking and entering. The two of them are ecstatic. "This means we could come home," Maddy exclaims, "This changes everything."
Sorry this is so short, I've been really busy with school since my GCSE exams are coming up!
