Hey guys, what is up?! It's like 2AM where I am, and I'm updating so I can read some reviews when I wake up! Hahaha! Tomorrow's chapter is going to be a little more inappropriate than usual... If my stories are even actually inappropriate... You'll see. READ ON!

Chapter: 10

I woke up with a bit of a scare.

"Ok... Good. It was all a dream." I said to myself.

I closed my eyes and laid back down in relief.

"Your finally awake." Said a female voice.

"Wait a second... That voice. Could it be...?"

I sat back up and looked in the direction of the voice. "Lilly...?"

It was indeed the sweet sweet Lilly, but the look on her face wasn't her normal face. It was a face of shock, confusion, and a bit of fear.

"H-How did you know my name?" She asked me.

"...Crap. Uhhhhhh... I can explain."

She didn't let her eyes leave me once.

"Guys..." Fortunately, no one came into the den.

"Lilly, wait. Before you call anyone, can I explain?"

She looked outside, back at me again, then nodded slowly. "You better make it quick..."

I stood up.

"Ok, I'm not who you think I am, you know me... I don't even know how to tell you... So long story short, it's me... Cole."

"Cole has been gone for a long time now, and he didn't look like a full wolf. So you better tell the truth, or you better be able to run fast, because you'll never catch me. And by the time you do, I'll have help already..."

I had to think fast.

"Lilly, look at my appearance, listen to how I sound. Just... Look me over for a second, I swear it's me."

She slowly walked over to me to look me over from a distance. After a minute or so, she stepped back and sat down with wide eyes. "C-Could you speak again...?" She asked me.

"Lilly... It's me."

She just stared at me. Finally she spoke.

"C-Cole...?" She asked.

I smiled.

"How have you been Lilly?"

"Y-Your back!" She said as she tackled me and hugged me tight.

I could feel a few tears on my shoulder, and I chuckled and smiled.

"Wow! I can't believe it! It's you! What happened to you?! You actually look like a wolf!" "I'll tell you later... Listen, you can't tell anyone I'm back, ok?"

"What do you mean?! Your alive! Do you know how sad everybody was when you left?! Tori was devastated, so was Humphrey! Why wouldn't yo-" I clamped her mouth shut.

"SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...! You can't tell anyone about me being back because no one is going to believe me. Even if you tell everyone it's me, I look nothing like I used too. Believe me, I want to tell everyone just as much as you do, but I can't. I need some proof, or I'll look like some crazy wolf. I don't know what I'm going to say, but I'll think of something. So please, don't tell anyone ok...?"

"Mmhmm." She mumbled and nodded.

I let go of her muzzle.

"Good, thank you. Right now, your the only one who knows I'm back."

"Ok, I won't tell anyone, but do you know how sad everyone was when you left? Tori and Humphrey especially. They cried for a while..."

"It wasn't that bad was it...?"

"Cole, you could hear Humphrey crying if you walked by his and Kate's den. He tried to suck it up, but... A wolf can only handle so much. To top that off, you could hear Tori crying from here! She only just stopped crying over you not that long ago! She hasn't stopped sleeping in your den yet either!"

I stopped to think about what Lilly just said.

"Wow... I feel so bad for them... Wait, where are they?"

"Tori went to get a drink. She's been here for almost two days waiting for you to wake up."

"Two day?! I've been out for almost two day?! Wow... Why is does Tori care this much about me? To her I'm just a stranger..." I thought to myself.

I shook the thought off and went back to talking to Lilly.

"Why does she care so much about me? To her I'm just a stranger."

"I asked her the same thing, she said that you reminded her of yourself. Yourself, being the old Cole as she liked to call it. That and you saved her three times in less than an hour."

I nodded. I wasn't to surprised that I reminded her of myself. I actually found it to be a bit funny.

"Ok well, I'm going to go and tell everyone your awake. I'll be right back, ok?"

I nodded at her and laid back down. Before she left she poked her head in.

"Hey Cole..." She said.

"Yeah?" I asked her.

She smiled at me.

"Welcome home."

I smiled back.

"Thanks Lilly..."

I thought about the recent events that had gone on around me. Not even a day I'm back and I already almost died. I laughed to myself.

"Yep... Welcome home Cole..." I said to myself as I laid my head down to wait for Lilly to come back with the others...

All done with today's chapter! So what did you think? Wolfe? I hope so... Don't forget to review to tell me what you think! Until next time my friends!
