Just wanna quickly say sorry for skipping last week's update. I did that on purpose, since I wanted to finish something before my school starts, which is in two weeks. I'm trying to clear my plate so I can focus on this, and any other stories that I have planned to come out after this one is finished! So, read on!

Everyone scooted into the area Izzy had brought us too, brushing out the pines that got stuck in our hair and clothing. The area was bustling with wolves, running around, trying to complete any tasks given to them. It seemed much like the clan, except for the fact that it was less laidback.

The wolves ran in and out of bushes and cracks between rocks, quickly moving. Some dashed into the forest, right past us, clearing out the area quite a bit. None of them stopped to question us, not even glance at us. Their thick fur swept past the pines, but the ones that got stuck didn't bother the wolves.

We move out of the entrance, standing awkwardly to the side as Izzy went off to do something. She

apparently went to go get their leader, having left us to just watch the business that happened in the pack.

As I let my eyes scan the area, they fell upon something- no, someone- that I was surprised I didn't notice before. He was leaning over a small fire that he must have made himself, sitting on something that looked like a backpack. The reason he was probably sitting on it was so he didn't get his jeans wet from the snow. He was wearing a turquoise jacket, which had short sleeves that ended with a red hem. The jacket was worn over a plain black shirt, which matched the color of the fingerless gloves he wore.

Around his neck were headphones. The headband was navy, and the earpieces were similar to Ty's, since they had a band of green go around a circle of red in the center. His brown hair was slightly ruffled, indicating that he had just taken off his headphones.

The thing that seemed most off about him was how he was wearing glasses. They were gray and thin, and his eyes hung over the frame. His eyes were an olive green, but they lightened to an emerald at the bottom of his eye, and darkened to a evergreen at the top.

Something in my mind told me that I knew him, and I have to admit, he did seem recognisable, but I couldn't name him. Nobody else seemed to notice him, and Izzy still hadn't returned. I walked over to AJ, Leia, and Ashley. Michelle and Dante were talking alone, and Marzia was butting into the others talk every now and then.

"Hey guys," I say, catching their attention. They were just talking about something small, probably weapons. "You see that guy over there?" I ask, pointing at the man. He was currently rubbing his hands together. "I feel like I know him from somewhere… Is that just me?"

They all stare at him for a few moments, just thinking. Ashley is the first to react, a small smile on her face. "I've met him before, when I was traveling. I don't know his name, since we've never talked to each other." She responds.

"He does seem familiar." AJ says, and Leia nods in agreement. "I don't know his name either. Maybe Izzy knows?"

"If she does, then we'll have to wait and ask her. She still hasn't returned.." My ocelot friend said, turning around to look for the wolf. Her tail drooped slightly when she couldn't find her, and she turned back to us, her head in the palm of her hand.

"It's not that important anyways." I say, waving my hand slightly. "I just wanted to see if I was the only one who thought I knew him." The others nodded, then returned to their talk. Even though I told them that it didn't bother me, it still did. It buzzed around in my mind, flying around and not leaving me alone.

"Hey, I'm back." The sudden voice startled me, and it seemed like everyone was startled. We all moved back to form our clump, and faced Izzy as she stood next to a wolf hybrid. "This is Sundust, our pack alpha." Sundust nodded his head, extending his hand. Sky took in first and shook it gently, and the others followed his example.

"Pleased to meet you. Izzy has told me your situation, and we can allow you to rest on a small portion of our territory for the night." He offered, his voice almost as deep as Kermit's. Sky smiled.

"Thank you. We'll be gone by morning." Our leader said, and Sundust nodded.

"If you need to stay a little longer, that would be fine." Sundust added, placing a hand on Izzy's shoulder. "I've heard quite a bit about you just now from Skyheart here."

"Skyheart?" Marzia asked, her voice laced with curiosity. She tilted her head slightly too. "Who's Skyheart, what do they know about us, and what do they have to do with us?"

"I'm Skyheart." Izzy replied, swatting away Sundust's hand. He chuckled to himself, turning to leave. "Our pack slightly works like a clan. Everyone has a warrior name, but we also have names that we tell strangers to call us. It's easier for them to remember." Izzy explained.

"That's… understandable." Jason declared, slightly nodding his head. "Anyways, should we head to the area where we're staying for the night?" A ripple of yeahs came from our group, and Izzy started leading us the way that we were heading, after making sure everyone had their things.

Right before we left, I glanced back at the strange man, finding him staring at us leaving before he turned around. I stared at his for a few more moment before Mitch called back, telling me that we were leaving. I slowly tore my gaze away from the man, and caught up to the others, apologizing for making them wait.

"Actually, I have to leave." Ashley stopped us. We looked at her in confusion, wondering why she needed to leave. "I have something I need to do in the Sathorn region." She turned her back to us, starting to walk back to the pack again. "Maybe I'll see ya'll someday again!" She called before she started running through the snow, somehow managing to not slip.

Even though she couldn't see us, we waved to her until she disappeared between the pine trees, and then we started walking to our area again, this time with heavy hearts.

Bye Ashley! Everyone say bye to Ashley! Anyways, I did basically this whole chapter today! The first two paragraphs are from earlier on this week. How did I do so? I found my writing song! It's called Yet to Show by 7 Birches, and it's like fuel to my creativity.

More like fuel to your stupidity.

You're just full of vinegar since you had to deal with my AWESOME thoughts all day.

...

That's what I thought. Anyways, I'm sorry if this seemed like a boring chapter. I have something planned that will hopefully make you excited or something. Anything but bored will work. XD I don't really have anything left to say, so yeah. I'll see my clanmates later! KK, so, BYE!
