was pronounced dead. He was found dead this morning by a women who was playing an innocent game of catch with her dog along with his frisbee.  Will be right back with tonight news on Willowdale news”

I stood there. Sara sat there. “There wrong” She says quietly. “How do you know that?” she ignored me staring at the T.V she finally stood and walked to the kitchen I watched as she picked up the phone, dialed a number and held it to her ear. She leaned against the counter and listened as if the person already knew what she was gonna say or that it was her. “There gonna get everyone panicked for nothing this town is too small for fear” Silence again.

Saras voice was muffled to where I couldn't understand her. ”Does this mean Justin is off the hook?” I ask/ yell. “Cant promise you that but it’ll definitely give him a break” she yells. I felt my phone vibrate against my leg and checked it.

 

Amber: Talking to Isabel her parents want a hunt and so does she! 5:34pm

 

“Sara! I yell “What is it?” she calls holding the phone to her shoulder. “Amber texted me she said that Isabell and her parents want a hunt” Sara looked worried. “When?”

“I dont know”

 

Me: When? 5:35pm

 

Amber: Tomorrow morning?

School will be canceled so people can help. Everyone's meeting by Blackwell forest. 5:35pm

 

Me: Talk her out of it! Wild animals shouldn't be killed just from one missing kid there's no real proof that he was taken by them! 5:36pm

 

Amber: She's not texting back! Can we go in the woods and help rescue them? 5:36pm

 

Me: Yes 5:36pm

 

Amber: Yay! 5:36pm

 

I show Sara the text. “This is awful I'll call sheriff Murphy, we are LEAVING this house at 6 tomorrow morning”

I smiled. Gotta love her.

Dressed in a blue hoodie, black legging and a pair of tennis shoes I stood next to Amber and Sara as another truck showed up. Men in camo and orange vests were everywhere along with barking dogs on leashes. “There hear” says Amber. I glanced at Sara first as she studied the silver car coming our way. A women, a man and Isabel got out. “Until further notice young lady she is not allowed in my house” my eyes widened as I watched Sara walk away. “Hey” says Isabell reaching us. “What are you doing?” I snap. “What do you mean what am I doing?”

“I mean did you seriously go along with this hunt? You dont have real proof that wolves took your brother no one does?”  she glared at me Amber looked like a puppy glancing back and forth. “My brother has been missing for three months! A hunter just found the proof!  A wolf print 6 feet from my brothers summer camp bracelet!”

“So your great plan to get your brother back is to have a bunch of people shoot wolves? What then? What do you get from that?” I ask my voice rising. “Reassurance! Ok! So people can go out in the woods and not be scared,Im worried!”

“Your desperate!” I growl. Her nostrils flared, she turned and stomped off to her parents.

“She's confused…” Amber murmurs. “God damn right she's confused!  wolves are gonna be shot because of her and her parents unless we do something” I say bouncing on the heels of my shoes.

“LET UM GO!” we turned as dogs ran past us. “Come on!” I grab Amber hand and pull her. “What are we gonna do?! Dogs have scents we dont were not even going in the same direction!” I sigh as I jump over a log. “You want to go back Amber you can” she stopped walking. “Can I?” I feel like I should be irritated at her but I smile. “Yes you can I'll meet you back at the car soon” letting her go is so much easier. I could run now. I could hear the dogs barking and there barks were growing distant. I kept running. I kept running till I hit the small creek which looked like the one on T.V. Robbies bracelet. I tried to catch my breath. I kept running. Not really sure where I was going, why I was running or what I was looking for but I ran. I groaned baring the cold wind which stabbed my lungs as I inhaled and ran across the creek, icy water soaking into my shoes. I ran for the hill and slipped rolling head first down. I landed with a thud and coughed. I sat up  and grabbed my left foot. “Shit!” I held my breath as I started to hear barking again. I heard a snap and I turned my head. Blue stood there watching me. “Blue you have to run” I rolled on my knees and kept off my foot standing. Blue walked forward then around me. He lowered his head crawling through my legs, he stood and I was suddenly 4 feet off the ground. He turned and started running in the opposite direction of the barking. I'll tell you riding a wolf is not like riding a horse, no reins no saddle horn no stirrups. I grabbed his coat and I hope that didn't hurt. I heard yips and whines. Looking to my right a grey wolf zipped around the trees followed by two brown ones. I kept low and tried to count without turning around scared Id fall. Two on my right Four on my left that I could see. They ran. We ran. Farther and farther into the trees till a gunshot sounded. They skid to a stop and I clutched to blue. A brown wolf ran away from us to where it sounded sounded. The others whined. Silence filled the air and I felt like everything just stopped. Blue turned around and walked casually up a small hill followed by the other wolves. On a snowy clearing. Blue laid down and I kept my legs out I thought it was my signal to get off but the rest of the wolves laid down to. I scratched Blues head and he shut his eyes. We stayed there for what seemed like forever. I felt paranoid, tired, stressed, cold. Where had thought light brown wolf gone to and who got shot? Did a hunter miss? Did he mistake a human for one? More minutes passed and finally a howl sounded. Blue stood, turned and ran to the howl the pack following. He ran right back to where everyone had been standing, all that was left were just empty trucks. The brown wolf stood by Sara along with a dark grey wolf. “Looks like you found them” says Sara with a smile. I smile I slipped off blue and kissed his cheek. “What'd you do?” asked Amber running for me. “I twisted my ankle it might be sprained I'm unsure” the dark grey wolf approached me and sniffed my jaw before licking it. I hugged it and felt warmth. After we dropped off Amber I spoke. “The wolves are too friendly to have killed Robbie” she smiles. “There not to nice to have killed him Amanda. If he had shot one of them then they would have killed him but I'm certain they didn't”

“So you think it's murder? Or an Accident?”

She sighed. “Will see honey”

That night the pack roamed around as I sat against blue and a blanket over me. “Packs can range from 12 to 20 so your pack seems reasonable” I say out loud. Blue stared at my phone as if reading it. The gray wolf walked up the steps and pushed its head against mine gently. I scratched the side of its head as I scrolled through my phone. “You wonder what really happened to Robbie..” I leaned into the grey wolf as it was like another blanket. “What do I call you? Um.. Stormie” I say with a smile. The gray wolf ears flattened and he growled licking his lips. “Uh Cloudy, Grey, Greg, I feel like I should just call you Shadow..Blues Shadow” I heard the thump of Blues tail and Shadow looked like he rolled his eyes I kissed his nose. “Selfie!” I grab Shadows face a snap a picture with all three of us in frame. Blue looked like a pure alpha protector and shadow had the tip of his tongue out while I smiled. “That's a keeper”

At school I had one mission. Find Justin. I know we barely know each other but I can’t deal with our “Relationship” like this. I want to know what I did and be friends again. If we were even friends. He wasn't in first period and I sighed. I asked Mr Ritter if I could use the bathroom and he stared at me for a minute. Told me how I had five minutes to go blah blah blah. I left finally and shuffled my feet down the hall. If I was Justin where would I hide? Not the bathrooms. I sighed walking to a closet I opened the door and there he was. Wow talk about a feeling. He stared at me with headphones on. I pointed to my ear signaling to take them off. He did. “Why are you dodging me?” he sat quietly. “Why dont you go to your boyfriend” he mutters. I close the door and sit in front of him. “I'm single thank you very much and if your talking about Nick I haven't seen him since the party. Now even if I did have a boyfriend I dont see why we can't still be friends”

“Were not friends” he states

Ouch. “Well you talk to me dont you? That has to  count for something”

He glared at me. “I dont care”  

I scoot closer sitting next to him. “Let me see” I grabbed his phone. “Snakes? You're awful” I pressed on the search bar and typed in Blue Skulls latest song. I let him listen to it and he looked at me. “You listen to this?”

“I listen to anything but if I had to right down my favorite band I would write them”

“It's good..” he pulls off the headphones and hands them to me.

Even though I never really got an answer from him I stayed with him, listening to music till the bell to ring. All I need is a speech from Mr Ritter maybe I should just flirt with him? I sucked in my cheeks and walked to his class.

I stood with Amber as we all waited for Mr Blake to come when Mrs Piers voice echoed in the gym “Mr Blakes third period class please report to Mrs Ports room, again Mr Blakes third period class please report to Mrs Ports room now” some of us whooped. “Whos that?” I ask following the class. “She teaches history” says Amber following. I sigh. Mrs Ports room had a book smell to it. Mr Blake was seated at the desk on his computer. I sat by Amber in the front and opened my binder pulling out a blank sheet of paper. “I tried texting Isabel..she's mad that I didn't stand up for her” I glance at Amber who looked like a sad puppy. “She needs to stick up for herself”  I say she sighed and put her head on her binder. “Alright guys I'm obviously subbing so I'm giving you this period as a study period other than that you guys can talk about the hunt yesterday” the room was immediately filled with voices. “I saw them shoot the white wolf”

“I swear I saw the brown wolf”

“Jake shut up we've heard it before”

So a wolf had been shot. Had the brown and white wolf been a mated pair? It was something I’d read that night. I hope she or he is ok. “You think they'll have another hunt?” I snapped back to reality and realized I was staring right at Mr Blake he winked at me and I realized I've been biting my lip. I held
