A book

By a waterfall in the middle of summer when all the trees are in bloom, two leaders meet. One comes from the mountains the other from the forest beyond the flatlands. They meet in the middle of the large clearing where challenges were fought and disagreements were settled.
“ I hear other packs moved in near you, Snow.” A light blue wolf says. His pelt shone brightly in the sunlight. He had dark blue fur around his eyes and the tips of his ears. His eye color was a dark red. He may appear to be mean but is really nice and understanding, but if you challenge him he won’t turn you down. “ Are they good to you?”
“Of course, Jay. They were patient and listened to us when we told them where they can put their borders.” Unlike Jay, Snow was all white with light blue eyes. “Although I wish we had some warning about this.”
Jay nods in agreement. “Thanks for meeting me Snow, but I must get back to my camp.” I hope that they understand the forest is mine. Jay turns back to his territory and goes into the woods. Most wolves wouldn’t go in there because of the mist that is always on the floor and the sudden darkness. As he walks through he sees a lone deer in the woods. A deer here? That's something new they don't usually come in here. They are mostly in the Meadow just outside the woods.
Once Jay gets to his camp a grey wolf comes up. “Hello Jay. How was the meeting with Snow?”
“Good Rock, Snow said that the other packs are good.” Rock was all grey and was the Beta of the Forest Pack. Since he was second in command he had full right to know how the meeting went. His eyes were dark blue and he blended well in the dark forest, unlike Jay who’s pelt could be easily seen.
“I sent out a group of wolves. They should be back soon with prey.” Rock sighs as he goes on, “The whole pack is worried about these newcomers. They may not understand our ways and traditions. You know that we do things differently than other wolf packs.”
“All packs are similar in a way. We just need to be patient with them. Who is leading the hunting party?”
“Tree is leading it. I must go back to my den, I’ll talk with you in a bit.” He sees Jay looking at him and in his eyes he sees the question. “I need to go because I’m watching the camp tonight.”
“Ok talk to you later.” Jay walks to his den. Maybe I should see if the new packs would like to go hunting. I mean only the Mountain Pack and the Forest Pack have been here for a long time and have hunted together to show that we aren’t fighting at the moment or because it is the winter season and both packs need food. He curls up on his deer pelt and rests.

Jay wakes to the sound of growling. As he walks out of his den he sees why, “What is happening here? Who are you and what do you want?” He looks at the visitors.
A yellow looking wolf answers instead of someone from his pack. “My name is Cliff, I come from the Gorge Pack. Snow told us about your pack and we wanted to meet the other leader. They saw us in your forest and brought us here showing no kind of friendship. Now, may I ask you something?”
Rock steps forward, “They had full right not to show any friendship to you.”
“Rock step down, “ Rock moves away from the other pack wolves. “but he does have a point that they had a right to show you no mercy. You must be from one of the new packs. How many more are there? Yes you may ask me a question.”
“There is one other pack. They are called the River Pack. Why is your forest so creepy and has mist on the ground?’’ Cliff spoke clearly even though Jay could see that he is scared of his pack and the woods. “What is your pack called?”
“My pack is the Forest pack. My name is Jay. I don’t know why the forest has mist on the ground. We use it for cover and attacks. The creepiness is your opinion, but for anyone who does not grow up here may very well see it a different way. You must leave now I don’t care to have you in my pack any longer than you need to.” Jay turns to Rock, “Take Tree, Branch, Mist, and Wood with you. Show them the way out of the woods.”
Rock nodes and call the four wolves to him and leave with the Gorge Pack. Jay watches them leave and hopes that the River Pack won’t come.
“Robin get Twig, Daisy, Pine, Nettle, Seed, Quill, Bush, Thorn, Rain, and Cardinal and go hunting, we are all getting hungry.” Jay watchs them go knowing that he should go with and follows. He lets Robbin stay the leader of this hunting trip. They get to the Meadow outside of their woods and spot a herd of deer.
Robin gives them their places and the pack begins to move in. Jay goes to the center of the deer and finds the weak one. When he does he signals to the others and Twig and Bush move in the herd and go by Jay. “It’s right there.” Jay points his tail in the direction of an older deer. The three wolves spread out and when they are in their spots they bark. Now that the herd is moving Daisy and Pine go towards the front by the leader of the herd and steer him to Robin and the rest of the pack. When they get close Jay and Bush, who is on the left side, push the older deer out of the herd separating it from the others. Twig then gets out and joins Nettle who is waiting by a cave that the wolves pushed the rest of the herd past. They go there in case the deer tries to get back with the rest of the herd. Moments later Daisy and Pine join Nettle and Twig. Robin stays in the long grass in case the deer takes an unexpected turn. Seed and Quill take Jay’s and Bush’s spots so they can get a rest. Thorn, Rain, and Cardinal help Seed and Quill trap the deer and kill it. The five wolves who were hiding came out and helped them drag the deer back to the camp. Jay and Bush meet them and take the lead so that no other wolves will attack the hunters for the deer.
Rock greets the hunting party when they come back. “Looks like there will be plenty of prey in the morning even after we all eat tonight.”
Jay nods and takes the first part of the deer. Rock then takes what he wants. After the Alpha and Beta take this the hunters and the rest of the pack get what they want. When the rest of the pack is done Berry, the Omega, takes what he wants and like Rock said there was plenty left over.
When Jay is done he walks over to Moss, the mother of two pups, Lumber and Spider. “ It's time those two learn how to be part of this pack. Tomorrow take them out with Antler and teach them a few things, if they are to be here they must keep their place.” Antler was the pup's father, he was light brown with yellow eyes. He was a good hunter and one of the best fighters, but he has little common sense. Moss on the other hand was a good fighter and hunter, but she had common sense. She was dark blue with very little light blue spots on her. Moss, Lumber, and Spider were all Jay’s kin, but Moss was the only one who resembled anything close to Jay.
“OK. I’ll take them out and show them some basic moves.” Moss agrees. “River would be proud. I know we both miss her much, so does Robin and Pine.” River was Jay’s mate before she passed away from sickness. Ever since then Jay found a pup who was naturally skilled in healing, who became the packs first Healer. He took food before the Omega with the rest of the pack. His name was Pond, he was a dark brown wolf with yellow eyes. He was Antler’s only brother in their litter.
“I know she would be proud of you and your siblings.” Sadness crosses his eyes and he leaves her to speak with her pups.
Jay goes to his den when the rest of his pack returns to their dens. He was sleeping for a small amount of time before he woke to Rocks paw on his side. “Rock it’s not even dawn yet. What do you need so bad?”
Rock whispers “It’s Snow she said it’s an emergency.”
"What? Where is she?" Jay sits up. How could there be an emergency in the middle of the night! "How is there an emergency? If this deals with the new packs I'm going to drive them out!"
"I don't know what the emergency is. She's just outside the forest. Do you want me to get anyone?" Rock like Jay was concerned for Snow's meeting. You could tell by the sense of worry in their eyes. For the two packs had hardly ever called an emergency meeting in the night.
"Yes get Tree, Berry, and Antler. Then meet me outside the camp. Have Nettle watch the camp while we're gone." Jay stands up and is about to leave when Rock goes in front of him.
"Are you sure that you want the omega to come? I'm not sure that's wise."
"Yes Berry needs some excitement as well. Now get them up and try not to wake anyone else." Jay leaves the cave and Rock gets the four wolves up.
The other wolves meet Jay outside the camp. Rock leads them to where Snow was impatiently waiting. She kept walking back and forth till she saw the wolves there.
"Come with me to The Meeting Grounds." That was the place where Jay and Snow had met earlier that day. As they were going they were practically running.

Once they get there they see Cliff and the River Pack leader. Snow and Jay join them in the middle near where the water is but not the waterfall. The rest of the wolves go around them so they can hear. Some wolves from all packs were there and as they were waiting for the alphas to finish greeting one another they began to talk. All not giving too much information on their packs.
"Everyone quiet down! The meeting shall begin." Snow waits for the group to quiet down before continuing,"I know many of you may be wondering why I have called this meeting. And I understand why. I do believe that our packs need to move. Now I understand that Cliff and Lake have just moved in…"
"Who's Lake?" Nettle calls from the crowd.
"Lake is the River Pack leader. But to get to the point our night watch has found human scents in the mountains." Snow leaves it there to hear the opinions of the wolves surrounding the alphas as well as the alphas.
"Everyone calm down. Is this the first sighting Snow?" Lake looks questioning at the Mountain Pack alpha. "If it's the first sighting then it could be the only."
Snow looks at Lake waiting for other thoughts but none came. Not even from the other wolves surrounding them. "Yes I do believe this is the first sighting. I haven't gotten any other Human sighting reports."
"Well in that case…" Jay pauses his sentence as if thinking over what to say. "If there is one or more sightings that become regular, as soon as possible let the rest of us know. Then we will decide where to go from there"
"Ok I think I could deal with that." Cliff agrees. "Besides I don't think they will come back. One time doesn't mean that they will come again."
"All in favor, call out. Forest Pack." Jay starts the call out.
"Mountain Pack!" Snow calls proudly.
"River Pack." Lake soon follows understanding what a call out was.
"Gorge Pack" Cliff calls out after a small pause.
"Then it's settled. If they come regularly, get the other packs to meet here or somewhere safer. Until then everyone go home and keep a watch out." Snow who started the meeting ended it like they have for years.

Chapter 1

Tree and Stem the alphas of the Forest Pack had called a meeting within their pack. They had just replaced their old alphas who had died in a fight or after the sickness in winter. They were just waiting for the female omaga to leave their den like every other meeting. "Everyone listen up! Me and Stem have agreed on who the Beta pair will be. Now they will get as much respect as us but will be lower."
"Tree I believe that goes without saying. Now Berry and Foal, you shall be the Betas. Take your responsibility wisely. You have our permission to mate at will." Stem finishes.
Berry and Foal go to the Beta den. This den was the second cave in the forest camp. Berry tended to live to his name. He knew what berries were good to eat and which were bad. Though he often was made fun of in his youth about eating berries his skills did come in handy when on a trip and no food around but fruits and berries. His tan like pelt and his yellow eyes helped even in the forest. At times he could almost look like a dying bush. Foal was kind to almost every baby animal. A few times even with baby deer she would protect them so that they can grow strong. The deer who were younger and never really saw a wolf sometimes mistaken her for another young deer. Her pelt looked exactly like a deer pelt and she knew how to get them to trust her. Her dark brown eyes also made the deer trust her, between the sudden calmness and alertness at the same time just made the deer think she was in of their own.
Tree and Stem the alpha wolves lived in the best most space in their cave. In the forest where they live there are three caves, alphas cave, betas cave, and the healing cave where the healer stays. Tree was a dark brown, not to brownwolf. His golden eyes never really showed feelings. He wasn't the nicest wolf oftentimes he was quite mean. The only reason that he was an alpha was because he had fought his way to leadership. Making the original beta before him back down and when he was challenged by wolves that did not want him to be alpha after the other ones died he forced them to back down. Stem on the other hand was quite calm and possibly the only reason Tree was still in the right mind. Her light green eyes showed nothing but compassion, calmness, and loyalty to her pack. Her pelt was a kind of tan that looked like a flower stem dying in the winter. Her name came from her pelt. She was born in fall time when flowers were dying and some were growing.
Leaf was the healer of the pack, she was kind and sweet. Though her alpha liked violace she wished nothing of it. If the fight could be passed over she tried to find a way to stop it. The other packs liked her much. Few times she teped in the battle stoping it for a time allowing their injured to looked at. Her leaf colored eyes shown butifully in the spring time. Her grey pelt allowed her to blend in almost everywhere. She had three black dots around each of her eyes.
The healers cave often times smelled of herbs that Leaf has collected and used. Vines came down in front of the entrance; which came in handy when there was sickness of a dieing wolf. No one would have to see it or have to much worry about getting ill. There was a small pool of water towards the back of the cave. The pool went into a small stream that went down from there. On the outside of the cave it went in a bit making a small ledge. It was covered so not much rain of snow could enter that spot. When sickness crosses the pack and some wolves are confined to the healers den the others put fresh meat on that ledge. That was the only reason that the healers den was there and not elsewhere. Leaf could exit the cave, go to her left, grab the dress meat and give it to the wounded or sick.
The rest of the wolves have found shelter in, hollowed trees, dug small tunnels to stay in, under the shelter of one of the caves, and some slept in the open till winter then dug a smaller hole to sleep in. These wolves then filled that hole in come spring and summer. Some of these wolves were bigger and stronger than some. These were the guards of the camp, they had keen eyes and only allowed a few wolves in if they weren't from that pack. Others were more skinny and fast. These were the hunters their main job was to only hunt and fight when it came to it. If the pack went hungry it wasn't just their fault. The guards could hunt as well and the hunters could guard. Those are just their main jobs within the pack.
The Mountain, Gorge, River, and Forest packs were named after some of the first packs to work together. Almost every pack knew about them and had different stories of the packs but no one really knew what happened to them or if they were still a pack.
