Chapter 2

Wolf, Eagle, Snake and Fox.

Alex's stomach dropped. He felt as if his insides were being twisted around. Wolf was staring right at him and Eagle was joining him. Snake and Fox were looking at the girl, eyebrows raised.

'Got a girl, have we?' Fox asked the.

'Yes, and everyone will need to rid of their prejudice and treat her equally. Now, everyone, go put your things away and come back out here for a quick meeting before we go on a tour. Things have moved people! Then we will have dinner, after that a quick game of spotlight when it's dark, then off to bed. Move!'

Alex was the first one to reach the cabin. He wanted to put as much space between him and Wolf as possible. He threw his bags on the furthest bed from the door and quickly changed his shirt.

Spence took a bed across from Alex as the others started to fill. Temperance was the last to come in so she unceremoniously chucked her stuff on the bed next to Alex's – the last one left.

Her luggage was surprisingly less than some of the other boys – even if it was probably all pink. She pulled out her (pink) pyjamas and shoved them under her pillow before slipping something into her pocket that Alex couldn't see. She then threw her stuff under her bed and walked out, leaving Alex wondering what she had in her pocket. He realised that she was probably annoyed at having to share a room.

Back outside where they first grouped, everyone was standing together chatting – except for Temperance, who was standing by herself. Alex, in an attempted to avoid Wolf, stood next to he, Spence following suit.

'Hi, my name's Spencer, call me Spence, this is Alex, call him Doodlecake' Spence announced to Temperance.

Temperance raised her eyebrows, shook Spence's hand, saying, 'Hi, Spence', before she offered her hand to Alex. 'I'm just going to call you Alex,' she said.

'Please do,' Alex replied, noticing her manicure.

She's probably filthy rich. She's most likely used to having maids fawn over her. I hope she finally realises how the rest of us live, thought Alex.

'People, up here, listening to me; I'm going to formally introduce you to your leaders. You will call me Mr Mills or sir.

'This is Wolf.' Wolf took a step forward, dark look on his face.

'Eagle.' Eagle stepped forward like Wolf, but he smiled.

'Snake.' Snake moved forward, smiled and waved.

'Fox.' Fox showed a goofy grin reminiscent of a cartoon character.

'And Hawk should be here any moment...ah, there he is.' Hawk turned up pulling on one of his boots, shirt not done up and hair hardly hidden beneath his beanie.

'Sorry, sir, I just woke up.' Hawk finished tying up his laces. He was moderately short, had brown hair spiking out of his beanie, bright blue eyes and bright white teeth.

'Well, next time, don't stay up so late...or early,' Mr Mills lectured. Hawk gave a cheeky smile, starting to do up his shirt.

'But Mills, it was my friends eighteenth, I had to party all night. If I didn't I would have been disrespectful. Anyway, I turned up at least.' Mr Mills ignored him.

'I'm going to put you into groups; one leader to two teens. Ah...Fox, you have Max and Franklin; Snake with Timothy and Glen; Eagle will have Aaron and Flynn; Wolf, you've got Spencer and Mathew, which leaves Temperance and Alex with Hawk. Go to your group now and I will leave the leaders to tour wherever they want; dinner is in two hours at the hall.'

'Hello, hello. I'm Hawk, you know that. Who are you again?' Hawk asked Alex, fixing up his shirt after he realised it was on inside-out. He asked with a nice tone, as though he was sorry he had forgotten.

'I'm Alex,' Alex replied quietly, shaking his hand.

'And this must be Temperance, I'll call you Tempy, Temperance is too hard to remember this early in the day,' Hawk said, smiling at Temperance. 'Well, lets go, you're both new, heard that from Mills, we don't want to get lost in the dark.'

'This is the fun part!'

Hawk, Alex and Temperance had been walking around for twenty minutes. They had passed the cabins, toilets, hall, tennis court and volleyball court. All of those were situated close together and they were now heading towards the obstacle courses.

Hawk had led them up a bush track and they had just reached a deep hole that had to be passed by crossing a log.

'You just walk right across, see?' Hawk had reached the other side. Alex followed, just a bit slower than Hawk. Temperance crossed it the quickest – she had more balance.

'Hey, Wolf,' came Hawk's sudden voice from behind Alex. 'Fancy seeing you here.'

'Fancy you awake at this hour. We just came from the obstacle courses; they've put in a huge new one. It has mud pits, walls, rope course, leap of faith, tunnels...all that crazy stuff. We're going to put the kids on it tomorrow, watch them squirm.

'Great idea. You met Alex and Tempy?' Alex stopped breathing.

'Cub I've seen before, Temperance I haven't. Nice to meet you,' Wolf said, shaking Temperance's hand.

'Cub, 'ay? Cool name, I was called Beaver before they started to call me Ant, then I was Hawk. C'mon, let's keep going.'
