New Part for Dark Full Moon.

"I think this word be best considering it's almost midnight, I don't think there is anything we can do. At least until morning," Ruby suggested.

"I think maybe your right, sleep well Ruby," Vivien then left her to head back to her own room for the night.

What a night, it had been for Ruby. Especially, when she chose to go in a different direction then she normally would have taken to get to the lake! It's amazing, how the choices we make effect the direction life will take us. What would have happened, if Ruby hadn't decided to take a different route? How would her life turned out?

In Sherman's, class at school he spoke briefly about mate's that wore chosen by the lady for one another. He didn't go into much detail, but he did want to warn the class if it should happen what they should expect.

As an unwritten rule parent's in Wolf Lake, usually didn't go into a great deal of detail about specific customs until after their pups had flipped for the first time. It was not possible for them to teach certain things, there young wore required to figure out for themselves. Once experiencing the change for the first time, it was a whole other story.

Wolf Lake High was not like other high school, in many ways it was very similar to regular high school in the U.S. For one thing, since they happened to be such a small isolated community. They happened to have only two schools, an elementary school and a high school. The elementary school went from Kindergarten to the fifth grade, then sixth grade until they wore seniors in high schools.

Despite the fact that both of their schools wore relatively small by most standards. There was a great enfaces on education. Many of the people in Wolf Lake never left their small community. Making sure once there young finished high school, both human's and wolven alike would safely be able to make their way into society without worrying for there future.

Even though her father; did sign most of the paychecks in the community. They remained pretty self-sufficient society. Wolf Lake being the name of their town, also happened to be the name of the county. Other then the town of Wolf Lake, there wasn't any other towns within there county. For the most part other then the town of Wolf Lake, it was all pretty much open country with plenty of trees and wild life.

Ruby as far as her own future profession went she wanted to go into medicine. And become medical doctor. Kind of a combination for both humans and wolven's alike. In just a little while she would be able to take the certified nurses assisting program, threw the school. Slowly over time, she planned on weeding out her hours at the diner to working at the hospital.

Her Maternal Grandmother happened to be one of the last in her particular trade. Today, she would best be describe as the wise woman for there people. The traditional midwife, all the women saw within there community to deliver their babies. This wasn't the only role she played, before modern medicine came around the wise woman for each pack. Providing a role very similar the medicine men or women from Native Americans tribe's in North America.

For as far back as Ruby could remember, she always spent her summers with her grandmother. Believed somehow, her grandmother had the gift of foresight was able to see what her life would be like in the future. She knew that Ruby was destined to be the white wolf, the salvation for their people.

Ruby could see that her Grandmother loved both her and her twin sister equally. Sensed that she knew, Amanda her twin would not have made it when it came time for her to flip. Even though, she allowed Amanda to come along with Ruby for the summer. It was unspoken, she could sense that when the time was right Ruby was the one who would be taking her place.

It was a fact of life within their community, that many of their young wouldn't be able to make it to their high school graduation party. In fact their parents would be making funeral arrangements instead. Still it never seemed to get any easier loosing those you love.

One of the projects, she was working on right now with her limited resources. To see why it seemed more of there young weren't able to survive the changing process. See if there was anything she could do to help them survive the change. Wondered if she's able to accomplish this, what this would me for her people.

Hoped when the time came she would be ready and capable to handle all of the responsibility involved, with taking over as the wise woman when her grandmother past away. For as far back as she could remember she'd been groomed to take over from a very early age. The training involved in becoming the wise woman was a life long process.

When the time was right, she herself would have to choose a successor. Truth be told, she had a few misgivings about becoming what she was born to be. In her heart she knew she had the ability to heal. It's what she always wanted to do, but she knew there was more out there in the medical field then what her grandmother could teach her.

Her dreams included going to a real prestigious university to attend medical school and become a doctor. Instinctively she knew there was more to life then what Wolf Lake had to offer her. It wasn't just medical school that she wanted; this was only part of it. More then anything she wanted all that life beyond Wolf Lake could offer her, with opportunity to see and do everything that she wanted to do in the real world. One of her goals in studying medicine was combining the traditional homeopathic remedies that her grandmother had taught her with modern medicine.

Pondering on the meaning of life, as she gazed at the familiar new mark's surrounding her wrist. Having more questions then answers at this time, she headed towards the French Doors which lead out to her balcony. Her eyes resting on the full moon up in the night sky, hoping she would be able to stop and gather her thoughts together. When all of the sudden, she felt a breeze flow past her. A rich masculine voice saying, "Your more beautiful then I possible could have imagined."
