                            Chapter 1
     We keep walking into the woods until Luke looks back to see if anyone was still following us. "Ok, if you are ok Blue; you can fly up and look towards the river and make sure that there are no patrols ahead of us" Luke said. "Ok, ether way; I need to get some fresh air" I said to him.
     I flap up into the breeze to feel the warm air over my blue fur. I noticed that when I looked back to see buildings on fire and wolves running everywhere (maybe the rule had collapsed without their leader). I reached down to feel my wound to see how bad it is. But I don't feel any wound or blood. I look and down see where Luke stabbed me. I start wondering if it was weird that how a wound can heal that fast. I shrug it off and continue flying. 
     It's been about 30 minutes and I can finally make view of the Red River. I head down to tell the others that we are coming up on the river and that we should camp there for the night. "Hey Luke?" I asked, "Why is this river called the "Red" river?". "Because when all the tribes came down to conquer everything; there was a large battle. Many wolves lost their lives, all of their blood flowed into the river making it's name the Red River" Luke said. That was a creepy way to name a river. 
     "Ok we will set camp here and stay until tomorrow morning" Luke said, "We are far enough from the castle so they won't find find us". "Let me and Wonder go out and gather berries and wood" Snow said.That would leave me and Luna to go out and find big leaves for make-shift tents. Luke went to guard our camping area and gather water.

                           Chapter 2
     That night Luke was fixing some dinner for everyone to eat. Me and Luna where making three tents for everyone. Snow had insisted that Wonder would sleep with her because she was worried that he would be scared tonight. So that left Me and Luna sharing a tent, Wonder and Snow sharing a tent, and Luke having his own tent. "I'm hungry, when are we going to eat?" Wonder cried. "In a minute" Snow said having to lay his head on her back. 
     About 5 minutes later food was served and everyone had a good time. Wonder was already asleep before any of us could finish our own food. "So what's going to happen when all of this is done"? Luna said. "Well me and Snow are going to live together and y'all should go back home" Luke responded. "But what about Wonder?" I asked him. "I dunno, roam around until he finds someone else" Luke said with emotion. Then there was silence as everyone was trying to not believe what Luke just said. Breaking the silence, "I will adopt him as my own pup" Snow said. 
     Minutes later we head to bed with Me being first look out. I would want to say that it's only been about 6 or 7 days since we left the base of the Forgivers. While I sitting next to a half burning fire I was thinking of my family and Josh. More than anything I want is to hear his voice.
     "Hi Blue" Someone behind me said. I got startled and looked back to see Spirit. "Oh hey Spirit" I said. "So is something troubling you?" He said. "No just thinking and protecting the camp" I said tiredly. I could really get some sleep. "I'm supposed to wake up Luke in about 2 hours so he can protect us while I sleep" I said. "Sooooo, what do you want to talk about until then?" Spirit asked. "I dunno *yawning* I just want to go to bed" I said. "Well the Forgivers got word of Lightning's death from one of their scouts. They now want you to head East and go get Flame" Spirit said as he vanished in thin air. 
     2 hours later I go over to Luke's tent to wake him up. "C'mon, time to wake up" I shook him. "Ugh, fine" He said struggling out of his tent. I went back to my tent to see Luna laying out over BOTH of our beds. (Why do I still put up with her)
  
                            Chapter 3
     I wake up with Luna still sleeping. I carefully get up without Luna waking up and step out side into the morning breeze. The fire from last night was out and Luke was gone. While searching for him I found a note made in the sand saying, "Will be back soon. Going to get supplies and scout, be back later". 
     "Good morning Blue" it was Wonder waking up from his sleep. "Good morning buddy, want something to eat?" I said back. "Nah, I'm ok" he said. "Is Snow awake?" I asked him. "Yes, she is getting ready for today" Wonder pointed. "Hey guys!" Snow said. "Hey Snow, me and Wonder where just talking about you" I said to her. 
    Just then Luke comes out of the forest seeing us talking. "Hey Blue, can you come over here?" He said. "Sure thing, Snow go wake up Luna and you three pack up anything" I said. I walk towards Luke as he showed me what he got. It was 2 fish, 1 pound of berries, and some wood. "So do you know where to go next Blue?" He asked me. Remembering from last night what Spirit told me, I said we needed to go East for Flame. "Good, now go to the others and tell them to get ready to move out" he said. "Sure will" I said walking away. 
     I get back to camp to see Luna awake talking to Snow and Wonder chasing a butterfly. "Ok guys, me and Luke know where to go" I said, "We will be going East across the plains and into the Mountain Range to the Lonely Volcano... That's where Flame lives". Then something hit me, not physically but emotionally. Back at the Forgivers, Rose told me that Flame was her brother and that I should tell him something; But I figure out what I need to tell him. 

                            Chapter 4
     We finish packing everything and destroy anything that might give away any clues to where we where going. The trip to Flame's would take about 4 days. From where we are at the river, we would have to follow it up then break off East. 
     "So Blue, why are you and Luna so important?" Snow asked. "I don't know, we came from the same town in our world. Maybe it's how we act towards other people. Or it's something special about us" I said. "Well you two are the chosen ones so we have to protect you" she said. "That's nice of you but I think me and Luna can protect our selves" I said. "Also one more question" Snow repeated, "Luke told me that y'all only had 2 weeks to do all of this. What happens if you don't make it?". "Well we stay as wolves and have to live here and probably do other things. But if we do make it back we can go back home and come back anytime we want" I said, "No more questions, I'm still tired from last night. Now of you excuse me I'm going to go rest and think up ahead".  
     I run up ahead everyone for about a mile and sit down to think. "I know you like her" I familiar voice said. "W-What?! I do not!" I lied. "Yes you do, I see how you look at her" Spirit said. "Even if I did, how would you know?" I said back at him. "Oh, I'm not in that place to decide. You just sit and "think" out something" Spirit said, and he left. 
     Thing is, how do I tell Luna "I love her"? All these questions began to fill my mind like they had done when I first got here. Like I said before, I would have to wait. But it didn't wait, I kept thinking about her all the way down to the next checkpoint in our journey. Everytime I looked at her I had to make sure she wasn't looking back. I had to wait for the right moment... I had to.

                           Chapter 5 
     That evening, exhausted; we get the the camping area we would stay. From where we were, we would have to be about 120 miles away from Flame. Also the ground was becoming more steeper and more rocky (we are coming up on the mountains). Wonder has been laying on Snow's back almost the entire time (Lucky). 
     "Ok, it's about to be evening so everyone rest and we will walk for about 20 more mins" Luke said. I could he was tired with the expression on his face. Knowing everyone was too tired to walk anymore I insisted that we stop for the day.
     "Hey Luke?" I said, "me and Luna are going to get wood and food". "Ok, but don't be too long, the Sun is going to set soon" Luke said; and we walked off. 
     "Hey Luna, do you want to talk?" I asked nervously. "Sure Blue, what do you want to talk about?" Luna said. "I dunno. What will we do if we get out of here?" I said. "Well I hope to see my family again, wait! Of we do get back how are we going to tell anyone where we were?" She said. "Oh I think the council would think of that already" I said. We get some more pieces of wood until we reach a cliff overlooking the valley below. Across the valley was the sun set, painting orange and yellow streaks across the sky. To our left was the mountain range we had to go to, but it was fairly dim due to how far we where. (This is my chance to tell her) We sit down with Luna's head resting on my shoulders. "Hey Luna?" I said quietly. "Hmm?" She said. "I-...... I love you" I said with all my courage.
