For most of that afternoon, I lay in my den with my back against the entrance. Occasionally, a wolf

or two would pass by. Sometimes I would hear flower and her friends giggle about 'miss pouty wolf'.

Though, most times when a wolf passed, they would ignore me. But once everyone went into their dens,

I got up and scanned the area. Is anyone still awake? Doesn't look like it! This is perfect, I really need

some time alone after what happened today. I thought. When the moment was right, I dashed out of my

den, and ran off into the forest. I finally reached the rocky path, and climbed up it. It was a full moon

that night, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. A refreshing night breeze rustled my fur, and I soon

saw my hang-out spot. The rock over-hang was just above the river, so if I fell I would survive.

I looked up at the moon, and watched the stars twinkle in the sky. The whole valley seemed so quiet,

so Peacful. I let out a happy sigh, and flapped my wings slightly. As I flapped my wings, I felt the

need to fly, and be free. I looked back at camp. "I hope no one notices me... " I whispered.

I slowly flapped my wings, and took off. The feeling of flying free was amazing. The wind

in my fur, the valley below me. I wished I could just fly away from my horrible life,

But if I did that, all of the wolves of slough creek would go after me. I sighed and flew

farther. At least I could feel that wonderful feeling right then. Suddenly panic

set over me as I spotted another wolf in the valley.

"I've gone too far. I have to go back." I said to myself. So, I turned around and left.

I landed swiftly on the rock overhang, all four paws touching the ground.

My wings stopped flapping, and I shook myself off, then sat down and smiled.

Another breeze cooled me down, and I sighed happily. I lay down and curled my wings

up. My bright blue eyes scanned my surroundings, and then closed sleepily.

I started to drift off into dream land when I woke back up.

"What am I thinking? If alpha finds me here, he'll KILL ME!" I yipped.

I quickly got up and slunk back down the rocky path, towards my den.

When I entered my den, I curled myself into a ball and closed my eyes.

relief came over me as I yawned, and then sleep took over.
