Star's POV

I slam my hand down on the alarm clock that sits by my bed at Toboe's house as it rings. I sit up and run a hand through my hair. So much happened last night that I'm sore-oh wait, that's normal. I fought Steve last night.

All of us wolves decided to meet up today at 3 o'clock at the park. We need to decide how to go forth with our mission. But something that concerns me is-the voice said I needed to re-join all of the old wolves. Now that they're rejoined, am I not needed any more? That weird necklace disappeared when the others transformed-Kira's did too. I get out of bed and make my way downstairs to the kitchen. In entering, I see Toboe and Kira sitting at the small kitchen table.

"My parents already left for work." Toboe says to me as I sit next to him and Kira.

"Thank the lord it's the weekend." Kira says. "Otherwise we would have had to drag our butts to school today." I look at a digital clock in the kitchen.

"Am I reading that clock right?" I ask them, still looking at the little digital time keeper, "Cause it says that it's already two thirty."

"Nope," Kira says, "Your reading it right. Your last to get up."

"It makes sense." Toboe says. "Star did take a pretty bad beating last night."

"Please that's nothing." Kira boasts. "We've dealt with much worse. I'm glad your up now, though." She says to me. "That alarm has been going off ever since I woke up."

"When did you wake up?" I ask.

"One." She says.

"Why didn't you wake me up!" I ask.

"I told her not to." Toboe cuts in. "I thought you could use the sleep."

"Oh, thanks." I say.

"We better get going." Kira says.

"Aww man," I complain, following her and Toboe out of the house, "I'm really hungry."

"Just catch a squirrel at the park." She tells me.

Once we get to the park, Kira, Toboe and I head into the trees. We head further and further into what is now the woods until we spot Kiba, Hige, the motor cycle dude, and the girl.

"Hey runt." Hige greets Toboe-and rubs his head, messing up Toboe's hair.

"Cut it out!" Toboe exclaims, pulling away from Hige.

"Now we have two runts in the pack." The motor cycle guy says.

"Enough of that." Kiba says. "Why don't we all formerly introduce ourselves. I'm Kiba."

"I'm Hige." Hige says.

"I'm Tsume." The motor cycle dude says.

"I'm Blue." The girl says.

"I'm Toboe." Toboe says.

"I'm Kira." Kira says.

"I'm Star." I say.

"Well now that all the formal crap is out of the way," Tsume says, "Let's talk about what we're going to do." All of the sudden a glorious smell wafts across me. I see a bundle of brow fur dash by behind me.

"Squirrel!" I exclaim, chasing after it(now looking completely like a wolf). Tuning the other out, I chase it all the way to a tree. Just as it scurries up the trunk, I hook my claws into it's neck. I grab it in my mouth and pad back over to the others. As I get back I see that they're all in their true forms. I plop down next to Kira and eat my squirrel.

"How about school?" Kiba says.

"Yeah and our families." Toboe adds.

"We're almost all old enough to legally not have to go to school." Kira says. "As for family…who needs it." They all look at her-confused, dark, and worried.

"What do you mean, 'who needs it?'" Toboe questions her.

"Family never lasts." She says. "I never knew mine, Star's died when she was barely a cub." They stare at us with a surprised expression.

"Kira found me lost, half dead my a small stream in this very forest. She nurtured me back to health. Then we just kinda stayed together. I consider her my family-a sister." I say.

"What about your original packs?" Kiba asks Kira and me.

"Never had one." Kira says. "I was born amongst humans. My old folks ditched me here in this very city."

"My pack is all gone." I say. "We were all settled in to a meadow-the pack was stopped for the birth of my littermates and me." I claw at the ground as I speak. "Then, one night-I was barley two weeks-a weird smelling gas swept across the meadow. The elder wolves died instantly-as did three of my siblings. My mom and dad managed to escape with me, my brother, and my runt sister. We all traveled together for about three months. But then, a human came along and out-right killed my entire family. They took me to some kind of lab. I would have been experimented on if it wasn't for a freak electrical storm that hit the very night I arrived. The electrical storm shorted out the locks on my cage. I ran and ran for about a year. I ate whatever food I could find-drank whatever was available." I look at Kira and say, "If it wasn't for Kira, I most certainly would have died." She bats playfully at the side of my head and says,

"You got it right-your in debt to me."

"I guess we were lucky then-to be born with regular parents." Blue says.

"I've always despised humans. I remember the first time I found out how to use the optical illusion we wolfs somehow have developed for survival."

***FLASH BACK***

I chew on the bones of rats.

"Kira sure is late." Grumble to myself through the bones in my mouth. I hear human footsteps-and see a human figure turn the corner. I get up on my paws and growl to defend Kira's and my alley. As it approaches closer and closer I lunge at the figure- biting hard into its leg.

"God damn it, Star!" It says. The voice is all too familiar, I think it to myself.

"K-Kira…is th-that you?" I say, unsure.

"Yeah, it is you dumb ass." She slumps down beside me.

"Why do you look hu-" I begin to ask. But just as I do she looks normal again.

"Have you never used this trick before?" She asks me.

"No…I didn't even know we could."

"Oh yeah, ha-ha! You're a native lil pup." She says-with nasty smelling breath.

"You have issues." I say.

"I'm not sure if I can-but you should let me teach you how to do this- humans are the BEST!"

"No…they're horrible….humans are vicious monsters!"

"After that," I say, telling everyone about my past, "A big group of guys came looking for Kira. Somehow I was able to appear human." I look at her, a little less friendly and add, "It was also that nigh that I found out how often you enjoy to go get drunk."

"Yeah…sorry about that." Kira says to me. The sound of a snapping twig makes all of us snap our heads around. A man with black hair that has a grey stripe in it, wearing a white suit and pants appears and says to us,

"Hello, wolves. I couldn't help but over-hearing your conversation. I'm here to collect Miss Star."
