Chapter 26

Sibella woke up on the lawn of Ms. Grimwood's and wondered how she'd gotten there. Remembering back to the night before, she understood. She and Winnie had cuddled on the lawn underneath the stars and Sibella had fallen asleep against Winnie's broad chest.

Where's Winnie now? The hybrid wondered to herself. Probably at the mountains waiting for me. Sibella smiled to herself as she took off for the mountains. Winnie grinned and gave Elsa and Phanty a high five as she looked through her binoculars at the approaching form of Sibella.

"She's going to find her alright." Phanty giggled.

The trio took off behind her to monitor her progress. Sibella ran to the edge of the chain of mountains and began climbing. When she was on the ledge she wanted to be on, she spotted a bundle of fur not too far away. Approaching it cautiously, she sniffed it. The fur squeaked and two big round eyes stared up at her. Sibella sat on her haunches and surveyed what appeared to be a young cub.

"Where're your parents?"

The cub looked up at her with innocent eyes and said, "I don't know."

Sibella contemplated this for a moment before shrugging and making to move forward. A few paces away, she stopped and looked back. The cub was still there but now she was shaking as she lay on the mountain crying. Sibella's heart squeezed and she went back, picking the cub up in her mouth and tossing it into the air. The cub cried out in fear as it fell back to the rocky surface but Sibella caught it on her back easily and began heading for the pack. As she grew closer, she began asking if anyone knew whose cub this was. None of the adults knew which wolf the cub belonged to and so Sibella sat the cub down and looked at her long and hard.

The cub stared back in confusion and waited patiently. Finally, Sibella leaned down and asked, "What's your name, little cub?"

The cub cocked her head to the side and replied, "Amaya."

Sibella nodded and said, "Don't worry Amaya, we'll find your mom and dad. Do you remember what they look like?"

Amaya shook her head and Sibella nodded once more. She sat down for a bit before asking, "Are you hungry?" Amaya nodded and Sibella picked her up once more, this time in her mouth.

"Hold tight, alright Amaya?" The little cub dug her claws into Sibella's partially thick coat. Sibella quickly took off up the mountain and stopped on a narrow ledge.

"Ok Amaya," she said gently. "I need you to stay here and whatever you do, don't move ok?"

"But momma said she would have my milk ready when she came back to get me. I was waiting for hours and she never came back."

Sibella's stomach dropped at the thought of having to feed a cub her own milk, if she even had any. She began pacing with the cub on her back and her stubby tail wagging in irritation. From above on a higher ledge, Winnie and Phantasma were watching in anticipation.

"If she gives that cub her milk, then she passes." Phantasma squealed softly.

Winnie nodded. "And this one has a time limit because that cub just opened her eyes. So she doesn't know what hunger truly is yet."

The two friends watched Sibella pace some more before she told Amaya to slide off her back. When the young cub touched the stone, Sibella sighed and lay down so that she could feed her. Amaya scooted forward and latched onto Sibella to begin suckling. Winnie saw Sibella clenched her eyes closed before relaxing a bit. As the young cub drank, Sibella's breathing evened out and when Amaya was finished, it took her a moment to stand up. The two girls above snickered as she took off and high-fived each other.

"That was howlerific." Winnie said. "Let's go get Amaya's parents."

They quickly sprinted down the mountain. Sibella walked slowly through the pack of wolves before collapsing underneath a pine tree. Amaya slowly slid off her back and laid curled into her body. Sibella curled protectively around her as they both slid into slumber. A growling awoke Sibella a few hours later and she opened her eyes to see two snarling wolves staring at her. Sibella stood and bared her teeth at them.

"What do you want?" she growled, standing protectively in front of Amaya.

"We WANT our daughter!" the female roared.

Sibella glanced behind her at Amaya before turning to the parents. "What's your daughter's name?"

"Amaya," the bulky male replied deeply. "And if you don't give her to us, we'll rip you to shreds."

Sibella didn't stand down. "How do I know she's yours?" the hybrid asked defiantly.

The female crouched down with a snarl and launched herself at Sibella. The purple vampire caught her headlong and slammed her into the tree.

"Amaya, move away!" Sibella called.

The young cub agilely climbed the tree to safety. The male looked up at her before turning to the two fighting females. Though, the other female was bigger than Sibella, the vampire was much more skilled and swift. She had the female breathless and helpless in seconds. The male charged her and smashed her into the tree.

"Give me my daughter!" he snarled.

"How are you sure she's yours?" Sibella retorted.

"Because she had a stripe down her right side that had three dots in the middle of it." He replied evenly, aiming a swipe at her head. Sibella ducked it and looked up. Amaya was facing them from her right side and they could just make out the stripes three dots. Sibella immediately ceased her fighting and dropped to all fours, calling Amaya down. The cub dropped easily onto Sibella's back and then to the ground.

"Momma!" she squeaked happily. "Papa!"

The two wolves stared at her before looking up to Sibella.

"You fed her, right?" they asked simultaneously.

Sibella nodded and they returned it approvingly. The female picked the cub up in her mouth while the male thanked Sibella.

"I'm Greg, by the way." He added. "And this is my mate Isabella." Isabella nodded to her.

Sibella ducked her head and said, "Sibella. It was my pleasure to take care of Amaya."

They smiled at her before running off. Sibella curled under the tree before falling asleep. In the highest branches of the tree, Elsa and Winnie chuckled softly.

"Mission accomplished." They said in unison.

"Let's move on to the next one before she wakes up." Winnie said, jumping from the tree onto the rock below. Elsa climbed down and stepped over Sibella as she followed Winnie.
