Lilly's P.O.V. (hope I do well)
It had been about... Twenty minutes since we hopped off of the train, and so far, it is like we haven't gotten anywhere, everything looked exactly the same as it did when we got off.
"Eh, are we lost? It looks like we've been going in circles." I said, Aaron looked at me, smiling.
"Nah, that's just the forest getting to you, everywhere looks the same, so land marks are useless." Aaron explained. We kept walking. I immediately noticed something about Aaron that I never saw back at Jasper, he appeared to be... Depressed. Not sad or ashamed, but depressed.
"Um, are you alright?" I asked.
"Yea, why do you ask?" he replied.
"You just look kinda down." I explained. He sighed.
"I guess it's just bad memories." he said. I just looked at him.
"You've been here before?" I asked.
"Yea, how else could I tell them how to get here?" he asked me back.
"Wow, well what happened?" I asked. Aaron looked down.
"I'd rather not talk about it." he said flatly. He kept his head down.
"You really shouldn't hold things inside of you, its always better to talk about it." I comforted. He shook his head.
"I just can't, please understand but I just can't, not now." he replied. I nodded. "But if we manage to find them and get back to jasper, then I'll tell you, okay?" he asked.
"Yes, you don't HAVE to tell me, it's just better not hide things." I said. He smiled.
"Okay, I do have one thing to let out though." he said, smiling.
"Well, tell me." I said. I realized that I sounded a little TOO excited. He kept smiling.
"It's not something that I can tell you, it's something I have to show you." he said. He motioned for me to follow him. He led me to a river. "Do you remember the last time I took a bath?" he asked, I shook my head. "Exactly, I haven't taken a bath in months." he laughed. I made a disgusted face and backed away.
"Why?" I asked, he gave me another grin that somewhat scared me.
"This is why." he said as he walked into the river.

-/Winston's P.O.V. /-
I was standing at the ledge in front of his den. I scanned the Valley in front of him. It was mostly empty, just a few wolves here and there. There was a loud yell that caused me to jump slightly, I whirled around to see Eve angerly stomping up to their den. She was growling to herself as she stomped up.
"Eve, what's wrong?" I asked, concerned. She kept growling.
"He got away." she growled.
"Who?" I asked.
"Aaron, he got Humphrey, Kate, and Garth lost in a forest over three thousand miles from here." she said.
"Well, he probably didn't mean to." I said. She shook her head.
"No, he did. And I want him out of this pack." she growled. I looked at her, confused.
"Well if you want him gone, and he left, why did you chase him?" I asked. Eve look up at me, worried.
"Because he took Lilly with him." she said. I was surprised. I looked at the 3 small balls of fur at the back of the den. Why would Lilly leave her pups?
"That's not like her." I said.
"Well apparently it is now." Eve said. "I just hope she'll be okay, she really isn't the adventurous type." I said, worriedly.
A/N: Okay, well that kinda sucked. But you can't improve on what don't do. And it's always good to say that you tried. Also, my updates may become less frequent after today. Reason: I'm getting a laptop, and I'm going to attempt to install my favorite games on it (Counter-Strike: Source, Day of Defeat: Source, Garth's Mod, Half-Life 2, HL2:EP1, HL2:EP2, Half-Life). And trust me, they are VERY big games, but that's what you get for high-quality right?
