Chapter 4: Family?

Midnight sighed deeply after he was finished his story. 'It has to be told to him, one way or the other' the pack leader had told him.

Link hadn't said a word through the whole story. He was in his own thoughts and looking at the stars in the sky. The sun had long since gone down and now it was a beautiful summer, with stars shining brightly. Plus, it was a full moon tonight.

After a long pause where they both looked up at the sky, to the stars and beyond. Link broke the silence. "What does this have to do with me?" Link turned his head slowly to look at Midnight, he felt somehow safe with him by his side.

"You will see if you come." Midnight howled something, even though he was in his human form.

He understands me when I howl and growl. I wonder what he means by that. Link though as a answering howl came back and it said. When Starlight and Moonlight are ready you shall know.

"What did that story have to do with me? Plus, why can I understand you when you howl and growl?" Link asked.

Midnight turned to face Link and a look of love, comfort and concern passed through his eyes. It came and went so quickly that Link wasn't sure it was there in the first place.

"I will answer all your questions when the time is right. They will be ready when the moon is at its highest point in the sky," Midnight answered. "Get some sleep now, I will wake you when its time . . . my brother."

A look of surprise and shock passed through Link's face, but even though he wasn't at all tired; he found himself drifting into his dream world lie hidden in the debts of his mind.

As Link lay sleeping in the grass around the tree that was beside the river, Midnight sighed deeply. Link had been put under a sleeping spell that only certain wolves' have the power to do; Midnight had mastered the ability before he was 5 years old. The only thing that person wake up is if certain words are said over his body and has to be performed by the same person who put you under it, if not . . . the sleeper would be asleep forever.

Midnight picked up the Master Sword that was still beside him and turned it over in his hands, looking at it. Midnight sighed deeply again before putting the sword beside Link. Midnight turned into his true form and laid down on Link's other side to keep him warm.

I might as well get some sleep before Starlight and Moonlight call on us, Midnight thought before drifting into a comforting sleep.

Link shifted his position when Midnight lay down with him; he rolled over toward the wolf and put his arm around Midnight's stomach.
