Belle's POV

Papa said I could keep Lou Lou. I was so happy, the two of us raced back to our house. Lou Lou chased me the whole jumping into the air and barking happily while Papa was further back watching us. Half was home I found a stick on the ground.

"Lou Lou fetch," I shouted throwing the stick further up the road.

What was that for?

"You're supposed to go and get it and then bring it back," I told her.

"Can you understand me," Lou Lou asked.

"Yes I can," I replied back a little confused.

"Good cause I'm not going to go get that stick just so you can throw it again just so I can go get it and bring it back so we can do the whole thing over again. I've seen you humans play with your dogs."

"Come on it is fun," I replied picking up another stick and throwing it, "It is a good way for you to exercise."

"I don't like that stick you can get it," she said back sitting down with her nose in the air. I then looked for another stick that Lou may like. I found a longer skinny stick with a leaf on the end of it.

"How about this one," I asked showing her the stick.

"Too skinny," Lou Lou said.

I throwing the stick over my shoulder and began to look for another one, "If you want I'm sure papa can make you a chew toy."

Mine!

I turned around and saw Lou Lou had the 'too skinny stick' in her mouth chewing on it, "I thought you said it was too skinny."

"That didn't mean I didn't want it," she said chewing on the stick. I laughed at her then took the stick and through it further up the road.

"My stick," Lou Lou barked as she ran up the road after the stick, "I found my stick!"

"Great now bring it back."

"No it's mine now," Lou Lou said before she ran down the road

"Wait for me," I shouted chasing after her.

"No my stick! Get your own!"

"Belle don't go too far," papa yelled to me.

"I won't!"

I continued to chase after Lou Lou till we reached my cottage when I finally caught up to her, tackling her to the round rolling in the grass. She then forgot about her stick and started nipping at my hair as we rolled in the grass. I laughed and giggled as she nibbled at my head barking in between each nip.

Lou Lou and I continued to play late into the day. Chasing each other around the front and back yard. Latter into the day we started chasing each other into the field that the front yard lead into. Till we wondered into the woods on the outskirts of the field by my house. I didn't notice how far we had wandered till the two of us stopped playing to catch our breath. Gasping for breath I looked at our surroundings, while Lou Lou laid on the ground catching her breath as well, seeing that we had wondered into the woods to the point that I could no longer see the filed or the house. I started to panic for a moment as I noticed how low the sun was.

"Papa is going to be so mad at me," I said pacing back and forth trying to figure out how we get home.

"Don't worry I can find our way back to your den," Lou Lou said standing up and shaking the dirt from her fur, "And besides my den is close by maybe mama is back. You can rest there for a while then mama can take you home."

She then started walking further into the woods, "Come on it's not that far."

Not really knowing where to go I followed her into the forest. We walked a little further till we came to a large old oak tree that had a large hole dug in-between the trees roots. Lou Lou's tail started wagging as we came to the tree and she went into the hole.

"Mama are you home I have friend with me," I heard her call from inside the hole, "Mama?"

No one answered Lou Lou's calls. She came running out of the den calling for her mother. No answer came as she called and howled for her mother. Tears came to my eyes as I watched he lay down in front of the den, her dead resting in-between her paws and a deep emptiness in her eyes. I walked over to her sitting next to her placing my hand between her ears then dragging my hand along her back in soothing strokes along her moon colored fur, "I'm sure she will be back soon Lou Lou. You just have to be patient. The forest is really big after all."

"She'll be back," she sniffled back tears sounding a little less hopeful, "She'll be back."

We stayed in front of the den looking out to the forest. In the distance storm clouds sounded off moving closer to us. It was getting dark as well and I didn't know which way was home. Lou Lou showed me into her den promising that after the storm left we would go back home. Her den was bigger than I thought it would be. I crawled into the opening which lead into a steep drop into a tunnel leading further down into the ground with the tree's roots acting as support. I crawled further down the tunnel dirt caking onto my dress. The tunnel opened to another steep drop off in a warm cozy hole as wide as the oak tree with the roots of the oak tree as the roof as well as support and deep enough that I could stand up comfortably, in fact the hole was so deep that papa could stand up and the roots would only barley touch his head. Hanging from the roots were pieces of colored class and crystals of different colors of pinks, greens, purples, and blues. At the center of the den was a large glowing crystal eliminating the den. The light reflected from the crystals and class making a rainbow of light onto the surrounding walls and the floor. In the far end of the den was a pile of fur blankets that Lou Lou was digging at pawing the blankets around fluffing them like pillows.

"I didn't know this was what a wolf den looks like," I gasped at the beauty of the crystals.

"I'm glad you like it," Lou Lou cheered pawing the corner of one of the furs, "The crystal is from my Papa. He called it a Light Stone it's like a fire but without any of the smoke. And it doesn't need wood to keep warm."

"Amazing," I said leaning closer to the crystal. I could feel the warmth raiding from it and I wanted to touch it I held my hand out to the crystal. It wasn't as hot as I fire as I moved closer to it till my hand was against the stone. It wasn't even that hot, it felt really good against my hand and I could feel it's warm coursing throw my body. I didn't even notice how cold I was till then.

"During really cold nights Mama and I would sleep around the stone to keep warm," Lou Lou said trotting over to the crystal leaning against it, "She says it works wonders on her sore muscles when she comes home from hunting."

I leaned against the crystal enjoying its warmth. I could feel my self-falling asleep from the warmth that the crystal was providing, I didn't even try to fight it, I crawled wobbly over to the fur blankets, Lou Lou following suit. Both of us collapsed onto the blankets curling up to each other the falling asleep.
