Location: Somewhere in Oregon
Kodie's POV
Let's see......From what I've gathered. He loves her and she loves him. She just doesn't know it yet.
"I'm hungry." Kota moaned. "Damn it Kota ! We all know your hungry!" Bolt yelled in annoyance.
"How could I not be hungry. We haven't eaten in......" He never got to finish. "We all know how long it's been Kota! Shut up!" Isabel interrupted. "People, Though annoying he's right." I added. "No offense Kodie but, Do you see any food out here.....At ALL ?" Bolt asked. "Bolt, Bolt, Bolt.... Have you completely forgotten what I taught you. We're wolves, we hunt to live and live to hunt." "He has a point Bolt." Isabel said. "Oh, alright....... Kodie you've been living here. What's there to hunt ?" Bolt moaned. "There's Caribou And since I know your gonna ask they're usually about 2 miles from where we are. In the plains." I replied. "Alright, let's go." So we started for plains.
Bolt's POV
"There sure is a lot of them down there......" Kota moaned his mouth watering. We watched the Caribou as I made up a plan of attack. "One thing I should mention." Kodie said. "This is prime territory for hunters. So be aware." "Find the weakest one." I ordered. We all looked for about ten minutes before Izzy spotted something. "There's an old one." She pointed with her nose. We all looked and, Sure enough there was a really old one. "Good target Izzy." I complimented. Then we left our hiding place to make the kill. "Kodie, Kota Distract it. Isabel and I will make the kill." They nodded in agreement and we began the hunt. Kodie and Kota started jumping around and acting like idiots while we got close. When I was about to bite it's leg to bring it down another Caribou noticed me. It made a grunting noise and the entire heard took off. So we began the chase. Kota got to it first and clamped down on it's leg. It fell because he was moving. We pounced. Before it could struggle it was dead. We began our feast. After each ate his/her fill we were on our way. Leaving the carcass to the vultures.
Kota's POV
That night was the first night in a long time that I went to bed full. But, I couldn't sleep. So I decided to go for a walk. I looked to see if the others were asleep, They were except for Kodie. Who had a habit of taking walks at night. I left and walked for a while. Then I came upon a clearing and in the middle of was a bolder. On top of the bolder was Kodie. I walked over and said. "Would you like some company?" He looked at me. "I don't want to intrude if you'd prefer to be alone." "No, I could probably use some company." With that I climbed up to the top and joined him. We sat there in silence for a few moments. "Why is it that when two people are in love everyone can see it but them ?" I asked. "Your talking about Bolt and Isabel right ?" I nodded. "The answer is simple. They both are afraid that the other does not feel the same." "So what you're saying is that they are afraid of each other?" "Exactly, They are scared of what would happen if they told the other how they feel." "Well that's stupid." "Not to them." They sat in silence for a few minutes. "You ever have a mate ?" Kodie asked. "Yeah, I miss her." "Why isn't she with you? What happened ?" "She and the rest of my family were killed about a year ago." Kodie then realized he was digging up bad memories and stopped talking. "What was her name ?" "Mya, I think I miss her more everyday." "Yeah, Well we'd better get back to the others before they wake up." "Good idea."
Bolt's POV
Dream World
"How's it feel to know you're about to die ?" The human yelled at us. They had decided that since I was their leader they'd kill me first. They forcefully grabbed us from our cages and carried us to the back room. While the other wolves in the containment unit looked on. We were dragged to to the steel door at the end of the hall. When we entered it, I was the first to observe. I peered around, but after seeing the horrors filling it, I regretted it. There were blades everywhere and I cringed in horror as I could see what was obviously blood on the center table. They tied our leashes to hooks on the walls. "Wow...... You guys brought me some nice ones." The butcher said. "They'll fetch a hefty sum." he untied my collar and picked me up and brought me over to the table. I looked at it and noticed straps, their cliché method of holding down the victim. They placed me on the cold steel and Tied me down. I looked to the rest. I honestly thought I was going to die. So it's now or never. "Isabel......" She looked up at me with tears in her eyes. "In case I don't ever see you again...." At this point I started to cry. "I love you." I saw her eyes go wide. Then they took out the gun and pointed it at my head. "I'll miss you guys." They fired.....But, not at me.
End Dream
I awoke in a cold sweat and everything was fine. I was in the same place. No one was missing. "We are okay." I told myself. It was morning. We had to keep moving. "Alright, WAKE UP !!!!" I yelled. "Where's the fire?" Kota asked groggily. "It's time to move." I replied. "Were we going this time ?" Isabel asked. "Alaska." "Great just when I thought it couldn't get any colder." Kota complained. "Stop complaining we need to move." I ordered. If we keep moving that dream can never come true. "Come on let's go." Then we ran and ran and ran. We didn't stop until the sun was setting.
