Bolt's POV
Kota opened his mouth. "Kota..." I said. "Yes ?" "If you are about to say how hungry you are..... Don't." "I wasn't....."Kota replied. "Bolt... As much as I enjoy this forced march. I think we need to stop." Kodie said tiredly. I nodded and we slowed to a stop. Kota passed out, Isabel laid down, Kodie did nothing and I sat down thinking about that dream. That building.......that hall..........that room.........that table.....that gun....... That dream will never come true..... I won't let it. "Alright.... We're stopping here for the night." I said. Needless to say they all breathed I sigh of relief. After all we had been running all day. "Now can I say it ?" Kota asked. "No !!!" We yelled in unison. "Fine.... I'm going to find some water anyone want to come ?" "I'll go." Kodie said. Isabel and I stared like a cow at a new gate as Kota left and Kodie went with him....Voluntarily. I was in awe and Isabel was picking her mouth up off the ground. We didn't talk for a few moments then I finally broke the silence. "That.......was really weird."I said freaked out. "Yeah, It was." She said.
Kota's POV
"Why did you want to go with me ?" "Well, For one I'm thirsty and it would leave the two love birds alone for a while." "Ah, I see." We walked in silence for a while. Then I heard the sound of rushing water. "Kodie I hear a river." I said happily. "Well, lead on." He replied. I follow my ears and found the river quickly. "Awesome." I said as I began to drink. "We need to remember where this is." "Yeah, This water tastes great." "Well, Considering that we haven't had any water in three days. It should." "What are you waiting for take a drink."I said. He seemed lost in thought. "Kodie ? Hello ? Anyone home ?" I said waving my paw in front of his eyes. "Kota quiet." "Wha..." He put his paw over my mouth and said. "We are being watched." At that moment two gray wolves jumped out of the brush. "What are you doing here ?" The smaller one demanded. "We were looking for water." Kodie said. "Boy is Bolt gonna be annoyed when he hears about this." I said. Their ears perked up at the mention of his name. "Did you say Bolt ?" The large one asked. Kodie and I exchanged confused glances before I responded. "Yeah.....Why ?" "He's alive. I can't believe it. He's alive." He said again. "How do you know him ?" They looked at me like my head had just fallen off. "We were in his pack." That we weren't expecting. "How are you not dead ?" I asked. "We weren't there either." They said ashamed. "Would you like to see him ?" Kodie inquired. They looked at us and happily nodded. "Alright, Let's go."
Isabel's POV
"You think they found any water ?" I asked. "Knowing Kota for as long as I have......Yes." "Good, because I'm really thirsty." We sat in silence until they arrived with more people than when they left.
"Bolt? Is it really you ?" "Yeah it's me. What are you traitors doing here ?" "Bolt, Who are they ?" I asked. "Kane and Kanti. They were banished from my pack for treason." Kane and Kanti visibly winced at this. Kodie, Kota and I were very confused. "Why were they banished?" Kota asked. "They were banished because they left my Mother to be killed by Humans." Bolt sneered. "My Father told them to leave and never come back. I had thought you learned your lesson the first time." "Bolt, Will you allow us to explain ?" Bolt was shaking with rage but, He calmed and nodded. "Bolt, We did not abandon your Mother. She took a bullet to save us. She said to go back to the pack and tell your Father what had happened. Then to come back. We did as we were told. But, your Father would not listen to us. He said we were a disgrace for not bringing his mate back. So he banished us. When we went back to were we had left your mother she was gone." Kanti explained. "Why should I believe you over my own Father ?" "We are not asking you to believe us. We just figured you would want to know what really happened." Kane replied. "Is that why you are here ? To tell me what happened to my mother ?"
"Mostly.....Bolt may we join your pack ? Kanti pleaded." Everyone was as shocked by this question as Bolt was. "Why should I say yes ? Why should I allow you to join my pack ?" "Because we have no were else to go.......Please." Kane pleaded. "It is not entirely up to me. The others must agree as well." Bolt said. "Kodie ?" "I don't really care. Let em join." Bolt nodded. "Kota ?" "Can you hunt at all ?" Kota asked. "We were the best hunters in the pack." Kanti replied. "Yeah. They can join." Kota said eagerly. Bolt once again nodded. "Isabel ?" "I'll go along with whatever you think is right." "Then it's decided. Kane and Kanti. Welcome to to clan." "Thank you guys so much." Kane said. "We won't let you down." Kanti added. At that the rest of us turned our backs to the new comers and walked away. Except for Bolt who was going to tell them the rules of or clan.
Bolt's POV
"The only thing you need to know is as of now you are the pack servants. You will do as you are told. This will go on until we get more new members. Do you understand ?" I said flatly. They nodded. "Come then. We are to rest here for the night. We leave first thing in the morning." I turned to leave and they followed. "Where are we supposed to sleep ?" "Over there." I said gesturing with my head to a patch of grass. They nodded and walked over. Once there they immediately laid down and went to sleep. They don't know about frozen dew apparently. "You didn't tell them about the dew did you ?"Kodie asked. I shook my head. "They will find out soon enough." "Tomorrow's gonna be a pain..... You know that we're going to have to help them get unstuck right ?" Kota moaned lying down. "You never know we might get a break. They might figure it out for themselves." I added. "Yeah and maybe humans will stop hunting too." Kodie said sarcastically. "Whatever can we go to sleep now ?" Isabel groaned. We nodded and laid down for a good nights rest.
