Hey, guys! The awesomeness of kitties and doggies is BACK! So, I'd just like to tell you that, as like in the last chapter, Kimbra has been exiled due to a little misunderstanding. So Kimbra is no longer a member of Shalon and Anuk's pack, and now they have no beta. Also, the script has sort of changed. There will be the same pack, but a different story. One year has passed, and Shalon and Anuk's pups are now a year old (same age as Kimbra was when she was still in the pack), so the pack's territory at Saddle Meadows has become small for all of them and they have decided to move back to Amethyst Mountain, and claimed the same territory as Shalon and Anuk formerly did when they had just met Kimbra and settled down. Also, we are close to getting to the chapters I wrote myself (Chapter 7 and so on :D)

Middle of the night.

Shalon, like his entire pack, was still sleeping. The sky was painted a deep blue as it seemed like the entire national park was sleeping (WolfQuest takes place in Yellowstone National Park like this story). Shalon was having a flashback that went back to the time when Shalon exiled Kimbra.

Flashback

Kimbra looked up Shalon, scared and afraid of what he might do. "Shalon, please! If you would just listen-" But unfortunately, the rage-filled wolf cut off her words by shouting, "That DOES IT! Kimbra, you are banished from this pack. RUN AND NEVER COME BACK! I NEVER WANNA SEE YOUR UGLY FACE AGAIN!"

End of Flashback

Shalon immiediately woke up, panting. "W-What?! Kimbra?!" Shalon looked around, Kimbra nowhere to be seen. "What the...?! Oh.. It was just a dream.." Shalon sighed and layed back down, rested his head on his front paws, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

Morning.

The sun was low in the sky, the sky painted sky-blue (obviously) and the flowers started to bloom, life rustling in Yellowstone.

Shalon sighed to himself. "I miss Kimbra but I'm still mad at her. If she wasn't in our pack then maybe Wika would be still alive.. I just don't know what to do... I don't know if it was her fault, or the bear's fault..." Shalon blew air with his nose sadly, sort of like a sigh but with the nose instead of the mouth, looking down. Suddenly, Shalon's oldest pup, Kovou, raced towards him. "Dad!" "Kovou?" Shalon turned around to face his cheerful pup. "Hey dad," said Kovou, smiling. His parents loved Kovou. Kovou was cheerful but serious at the same time. A perfect balanced pup anyone would want.

"Hello, Kovou," said Shalon, smiling back. "What's wrong?" "Well, I was just wondering... You know... Umm..." Kovou nervously looked down, and crossed his right leg with his left leg, the same way Kimbra used to do when she was shy or nervous. This, obviously, angered Shalon.

"SPIT IT OUT ALREADY!" yelled Shalon, starting to show his fangs.

"Well, I was wondering, who is Kimbra?"

It angered Shalon even more that he had actually uttered Kimbra's name. "K-Kimbra?! What do you mean?! Where you have you heard such a name!" cried Shalon, almost shouting.

"Well, let's just say that you talk in your dreams..." Kovou smiled exactly like Kimbra did when she was shy or nervous. Shalon was now so angry he was about to explode.

"Listen, Kimbra is NO ONE. Now never mention that name ever again! AM I CLEAR?!"

"Gosh, dad, fine..." Kovou ran away.

"Hmm.. But I really wanna know who Kimbra is.." said Kovou as he was running.

"Ah, now I get it! Maybe mom knows about her!" Kovou quickened his pace, and ran as fast as he could to his mother, Anuk.

"Hi, mom," said Kovou, smiling in a silly way to his mother. "Huh? Oh hi, Kovou," said Anuk, smiling back. Anuk was the best mother, as she almost always spoke in a motherly tone towards pups, even if she didn't know them at all. "How are you, sweetie?" "I'm fine, thanks," said Kovou, still smiling. "I have a question." "Well go ahead," replied Anuk. "Who is Kimbra? I know you know who she is. Please, mom," said Kovou, his smile quickly vanishing. "Well, I guess I could tell you," responded Anuk. "You have the right to know."

"Kimbra was a lovely she-pup, and used to be in our pack. She was the beta and your pupsitter when you were just weeks old. She was around your age when we first found her, a teenage pup, like you. We found her the night after me and your father met which was the same day, but we met during the day. Anyways, Kimbra had lost her pack some weeks ago to hunters and she was the only one who survived. So, we took her inside our pack. When we journeyed to Slough Creek as I was pregnant with you, she was there. Even before that when we had to journey for food. Kimbra was the loveliest teenage pup we had ever met, well the second loveliest teenage pup after you and your siblings. She was very helpful and I'm sure we'll never forget her. But then one day..."

Suddenly, Anuk stopped and sniffed as hot tears flooded her bright yellow eyes. "What, mom? What happened?" asked Kovou, curious to know. "Oh, Kovou.. I wish I could tell you but my heart breaks every time I even think about what happened to Kimbra. I can't talk about this anymore... sorry." Anuk sniffled again and her tears started flowing out of her eyes.

"Oh.. It's okay mom, I understand. I won't bother you anymore, I'll leave you alone." And Kovou left.

"I wish I could know what happened," sighed Kovou as he continued walking away from his mother. "Hmm... But maybe Shelby and Sprint know about Kimbra. I'll ask them. But I wonder where they are.." Finally, he found them. "Oh great," he grumbled, "they're acting like little pups again.."

"Keep on running, Shelby, but you'll never catch me!" laughed Sprint as he ran away from his younger sister. "Why don't you give up already if you know I'm too fast for you?" Sprint was by far the fastest member of his pack. That's exactly why his parents named him Sprint.

"In your dreams, Sprint!" cried Shelby. "I'm right behind you in case you don't know. You better run faster, ha!"

"Shelby, Sprint!" called Kovou, catching his younger siblings' attention. They quickly ran towards him, smiling in a silly way. "Huh, oh hey Kovou," said Sprint.

Shelby continued to run after Sprint, laughing, when she noticed Kovou. "Oh, hey Kovou!"

"Listen, guys, I need to talk to you," said Kovou. He sounded quite serious.

"Listening," smirked Shelby.

"Go ahead," said Sprint.

"Well, do you remember a wolf named Kimbra? She used to be in our pack, but I don't know what happened to her.." said Kovou. He really wanted to know what happened to Kimbra.

"No, I don't," said Shelby, seeming confused.

"Me neither," said Sprint. "Sorry, Kovou."

"Darn it... That's okay," muttered Kovou. "But I need to find her. Shelby, Sprint, guys, help me find her. I'm sure she's around here."

"Are you crazy, Kovou?!" cried Sprint, shocked his older brother would try to do this. "You don't even know what happened to her. She could be dead by now."

"Sprint is right, Kovou," agreed Shelby. "You don't know what happened to Kimbra or where she is.."

"Great, thanks for helping me," said Kovou sarcastically with a low growl. Kovou stormed off, leaving the place. "Pfft, it's not even like I need them," muttered Kovou, obviously angry. "I know Kimbra is alive and I'm going to find her and no one will stop me."

Night.

It was bedtime for Kovou's pack. He was still determined to find Kimbra. "I wonder what you look like, Kimbra," muttered Kovou to himself, looking up at the star-litten sky. He dozed off.

Kovou started to dream about how Kimbra probably looks like. He imagined her as pure white with some black tints, like his brother Sprint, running through the blackness of the night.

Morning.

Kovou woke up as the sun's rays spread out on his brownish fur. "What a dream..." he muttered to himself. All of a sudden, Kovou's younger sister Shelby walked up to him, a serious expression on her face. "Kovou, we need to talk.."

"Oh, hi, Shelby. What's wrong?" asked Kovou.

"Look, I've thought about what you said yesterday and... I'm in." Shelby smiled at her older brother.

"Really?!" said Kovou, excitedly. Shelby nodded. "Well then, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" said Kovou. And Kovou ran excitedly through the woods. "Hey, wait for me!" cried Shelby. She ran off after Kovou. And the two wolves took off on their journey to find the long-lost beta Kimbra.
