Chapter 8
What now?
When I woke up I thought I was back where it all started, for I heard running water. But once I opened my eyes I found that I was still in the Sun Village. Crescent woke next to me when the sound of wolves howled. When she saw me she stopped right in her tracks.
'Why didn't it work?' she asked me as I sat up.
I shook my head, "I don't know." Looking up I yawned, while also breathing in the air. "You stink!" I said covering my nose.
'Changing the subject?' Crescent asked looking me in the eye
"It's the now of wolf thought!" I told her, "You should forget it soon to." I pointed a finger at her, "now lets get you a bath, you stink."
Quickly getting up I ran to the bathing pools, Crescent right behind me. Once there I pushed her in the steamy water. The wolf gave a yelp and quickly got out of the hot water, I laughed all until she pushed me in!
Coughing I quickly got out of the water, "Hey!" I sputtered as I ringed out my hair.
In an answer she shook dried her fur right in front of me, getting me wet all over again.
"You will pay for that my friend!" I said as I got on her back
'But I'm not done with you, yet!' the wolf sent to me before quickly running off toward the village, me laughing on her back.
Coming to a stop in front of Leetah and her father Sun-Toucher, who was talking about none other than Moonfell myself.
I laughed as Crescent knocked me off her and ran away as fast as she could, "I'll get you!!" I vowed and turned to the sun villagers, "Hello, have you seen my brother?"
Leetah narrowed her eyes, she was obviously mad at me, "No, didn't you sleep with your kin last night?"
Now it was my turn to narrow my eyes what were so much like Bearclaw's, "I am not like that healer, I slept with no elf last night, you on the other hand needs to sleep with my kin. You two have recognized! Get over it!" I walked away.... I thought Leetah was my friend, a friend would never sagest that of a friend.
"Moonfell, sister!" Cutter yelled at me when I had come into view of the caves.
I looked up at my blonde brother, "What's up?"
"Council tonight, a very special howl for you and the chiefs!" he told me and I smiled.
"The pack has not let Crescent join them, I'm not a Wolfrider just yet!" I told him as I came closer.
Cutter smiled and suddenly Bearclaw showed on her son's face. Such mystery, and mischief I had ever seen on Cutter, "Come see!" he yelled back at me
Smiling I made my way over to him, only to see Crescent being accepted by the pack. Gasping my smile widened, "What happened to make them change their minds?" I asked him
"Crescent came when Starjumper had chased her off the new cubs, well she ended up saving him and the cubs when a poisonous snake came calling for blood." Cutter explained and my smile deepened for my wolf friend.
Hugging Cutter I gave a joyous laugh, "YAY! She's part of the pack now!"
Cutter hugged me back and muttered the soul name even I didn't know at the time, "SHOLA!"
The named suddenly clicked, I was whole at last. But I backed away shocked, "how do you know what I don't even know?" I asked him while finding a rock to sit on.
"You know my name because we're blood, so why shouldn't I know yours?" he asked sitting by me.
"I don't even know my soul name, thanks for telling me." I told him.
Cutter smiled and looked at the wolves. That's how we spent the afternoon, watching the wolves and talking, bonding like a brother and sister should. All until there was a loud rumbling.
I gasped at the sound, Cutter was supposed to be with Leetah, showing her something about a handful of water. Hissing to myself I quickly made Cutter go to Leetah, saying that she wanted to see him. So what I lied, it would get him to where he was supposed to be like in the book.
From there I readied myself for the stampede, though Crescent wondered why I didn't tell her.
