Chapter 2

As the weeks went by Hana and Yuki slowly began to put the past behind them and focus on the present, winter was starting to take its effect snow was falling down in huge sheets, they had to work extra hard to harvest the last of the vegetables before they were ruined, the rest of the time they spent indoors while the snow fell. Yuki was looking out from the porch at the snow falling on the valley, she thought of the first time they moved to the house and then it was winter and she and her brother shifted into their wolf forms and ran through the snow without a care in the world , she was so focused on that memory that she didn't notice her body was slightly changing from human to wolf when she finally noticed what was happening she panicked.

"NONONONONONO," she said quickly transforming back into her human.

She crawled into a corner of the room and began muttering to herself "I'm human, I'm human, I'm human, you hear me I'M HUMAN," she yelled.

She began to cry, when Hana heard this she quickly rushed from the kitchen to the lounge seeing her daughter in this state she wondered what had happened.

"YUKI what happened," she asked

"Oh mom its terrible, I was just thinking about our first winter here and I wasn't paying attention to my actions and I-I-I-I," she couldn't finish her sentence and then collapsed into her mother arms. Hana understood almost instantly.

"It's alright Yuki you just lost control of your emotions for a second, but it's all over now calm down."

"Calm down, CALM DOWN, how can I calm down after what just happened, I promised myself that I would never transform into a wolf again after what happened last time," she yelled, she then slumped down on the floor.

Hana new she was talking about when Yuki and Ame got into a huge argument then turned into their wolf forms and started attacking each other, then she spoke, "It'll be alright Yuki it's all over now, come on let's get you to bed," she then helped Yuki to her feet and led her to her bedroom, she tucked her into the sheets and gave her a goodnight kiss on her forehead, then also went to bed.

In the forest earlier that day

Ame was prowling the forest sniffing the air and listening to the many sounds around him seeing if maybe he could pick up the scent of a animal or maybe hear one nearby and pounce on it unexpectedly, but alas he smelt and heard nothing

In his head he thought "remember what master taught you about survival.

Suddenly there was a sound he had never heard before then what looked like a bullet zoomed past him, he then heard the sound of a dog barking, he began to run as fast as his paws could carry him he then came to a small river and summoning all his strength jumped across, he just made it to the other bank but then the snow ridge broke and his bacl paws slid into the river. He quickly pulled himself out but now he was freezing, as he walked he could hear a ma yelling.

"Good job Tiger yet another fox to add to my collection."

"Who is this man and what does he want," Ame thought to himself

Ame used the sly skills his master had taught him to get a closer look at the man, he spotted him near the river, he was standing over a fox that he'd shot with a vicious looking blood hound next to him.

"Better keep my distance Ame thought to himself.

He notices that the hunter was stuffing the fox into a sack, suddenly the bloodhound began to sniff the air and began to move toward Ame's position.

"What is it boy, is there another animal close by?"

The blood hound moved closer and closer to Ame then it let out a huge how, Ame then new it was time for him to get out of there. As he turned around and slowly began to creep away he heard the hunter yell. "It's a wolf, wow it's goanna make a great trophy on my wall."

The hunter took out his gun and fired, Ame heard the sound of the gun firing and then felt a massive pain in his left leg as he ran, he couldn't run any further, he slowly began limping. But he knew it would never be enough to get away from the hunter or his dog. Slowly he got weaker and weaker he knew the hunters dog would soon catch up with him, quickly he looked for a place to hide and then he saw a nearby cave, he hoped he would be able to hide from the hunter. He crept into the cave and lay in the shadows and waited.

Minutes seemed to be hours as he waited in the darkness, soon the sun went down and the land was silent, there was still no sign of the hunter or his dog. Ame finally decided it was safe to come out, but when he tried to stand up the pain in his leg was so severe that he couldn't stand up, the wound in his leg had gotten worse, so he decided he would rest there until morning,then he fell asleep

Meanwhile

Agent 126 was running up the mountain at very high speeds, higher and higher he went, until he finally came to a huge rock shaped like a wolf. He came upto the side of the rock and flashed a ID card over one of the stone, a nearby panel opened up with a key pad and a screen, he quickly types in the code and then pressed enter

A computer voice spoke, "visual and voice identification"

He put his eyes close to the screen and they were scanned then he spoke into a microphone that popped out, Agent 126 sector V2 alpha reporting in."

"Welcome agent 126" the computer voice said then a door next the key pad opened up

He stepped into a dark with the only source of light being the outside, and then the door slammed shut and now he was in complete darkness.

8 hologram screens with me watching from them suddenly appeared around him illuminating the room

The hologram on the far right spoke, "It has been two weeks agent what is your report."

"Members of the council," he responded. I've been observing the two said subject for two weeks and have discovered some interesting things about them." A picture of Ame appeared.

"Subject 1 aka Ame as he is known has been roaming the woods in complete wolf form for a year now, he has learnt all the tricks of surviving in the wild and was never seen by a human until today. While I was observing him I hunter shot a fox nearby, Ame did his best to stay out of sight but, the hunter had a blood hound and he picked up Ame's sent and began to pursue, the hunter fired a shot from his gun which struck Ame in his right leg and would have caught him if I hadn't followed procedures.

He was interrupted by the middle hologram, "was the memory erase pill administered properly?"

"Yes council men," he replied and continued his report. "Ame is now in a empty cave in the lower mountain region still recovering from his wounds.

Then a picture of Yuki appeared and agent 126 continued.

Subject 2 aka Yuki had not transformed into wolf form for quite some time until now, she appeared be reluctant to show her wolf form there were two instances before now she scratched a boy on the ear with her wolf claws and later on revealed her wolf form to him, to which he was given the memory pill the next the latest incident was today at 6 p.m. today she was sitting on the porch and it looked like she was dreaming, then she transformed into her wolf form but only for a few minutes, once she realised she immediately transformed back and went to her mother for comfort."

Then a picture of Hana appeared and agent 126 continued.

"Now there is the mother of the two named Hana, she has done her best to keep the wolf side of her children a secret all her life and has never told anyone about it. She currently lives in a small shack lower down the mountain which she bought so her children could change into their wolf forms without fear of being spotted, but I think she knows as much as we do she can't keep this secret forever.

Agent 126 finished his presentation and said, "now that I have presented my findings I leave it to the council to decide what is to become of them."

We need a few minutes to reach a decision on what must be done," said one of the holograms.

All the holograms disappeared and agent 126 was left in the dark again for 30 minutes then they all came back with a sudden flash.

"The council has reached unanimous decision about what is to be done."

Agent 126 listened carefully as the council explained what they decided to do and that he would be the one in charge of this.

"Do you oppose this plan," asked one of the council men.

Agent 126 shook his head.

"Then it's settled then you and team Alpha and Bravo will move out at dawn, now get some rest we have a big operation tomorrow."

Agent 126 bowed his head and went deeper into the secret area to get some sleep for the big mission in the morning
