Chapter 2
Hours later , Willowpaw found a cave , collapsed on the floor and cried . What had she done . unknown to her , a boy from the boar clan heard her crying .
Akin peeked inside the cave and was astounded . It was the girl from the tales that had come from the raven clan , The Wolf Girl , daughter of Torak the spirit walker . He stepped towards her
Willowpaw's eyes shot up as she heard something step into the cave . Through her blurry eyes , she saw a male tailless with brown hair and green eyes . He looked around eighteen summers . She backed away snarling . She had been scared of taillesses , apart from her parents , ever since she had been captured a moon ago . But this tailless was different , she sensed , he was just as scared as she was .
" Hello " he said " I'm Akin , are you the wolf girl ? Is your father called Torak ? " Willowpaw raised an eyebrow , he had so many question , but when he asked about her father , tears welled up in her already bloodshot eyes
" Fa " she sobbed quietly .
Akin walked up slowly , knelt in front of the girl and brushed her red and black hair off her face . She looked up , tears spilling out of her grey eyes and over her cheeks ,
" What's your name ? " he asked
" Willowpaw "
" How old are you " .
Willowpaw suddenly started and dashed outside . There was no moon , the first no moon of summer . Tonight was her seventeenth birth-night , and her parents thought she was dead , just like her mother's dream had said . She hung her head sadly , walked back to Akin and sat down next to him .
" Is tonight your birth-night "? she nodded . " You don't know many words , do you " she shook her head . "Well , try to get some sleep , I'll wake you at sunrise , and then maybe we can find your Fa ". Willowpaw nodded and curled up like a wolf to sleep . Akin smiled and immediately knew he loved the wolf girl .
