Chapter 1 (When we were Kids)

1280 Words
Winter is cold in our town , and summer is the best , warm and eye-catching for anyone that wishes to see its beauty. Every tree stands in its own wonderful glory overlooking the most exhilarating landscape that is also surrounded by majestic mountains and endless forests. Everything has life here and there are endless possibilities for children to play freely without hesitation. There was never a dull moment playing ,till the moon came out shining over us every night, reminding us to hurry on home. We would sometimes sit by the river just enjoying the sounds of the water as it flows and crashes into the unknown destination it is meant to go to. Playing was what we did every day ,not getting tired of each other or our world in the forests and mountains. Sometimes the calling of a howling wolf would startle the little warrior in us ,as we have always seen ourselves as such, because our wolves have not yet come to pass. Only when one turns 18 years old will your wolf come to the surface, and be awakened to take it's rightful place in the pack and also be lucky to find it's true mate, gifted by the moon goddess herself. It is said by our great grandfathers that the moon goddess chooses our wolf for us and then, entwines it in our human soul, making us one, making us stronger and more powerful, so we can then fulfil our destiny, whatever that may be... As soon as we stepped into Nana's cottage we knew we were in so much trouble. "Oh now look at the two of you !, your all dirty". "What am I supposed to tell your mother when they see this mess? they left you in my care every day so they can attend their affairs' and pack work and training, because you're still to young for school this year, and now look at you!". Nana speaks angrily while taking me and Alex to the bathtub to be cleaned up. "Sorry Nana ,we didn't mean to get dirty". I said, looking over to Alex , hoping he would also say sorry. "Yes, Nana, we are sorry. It was all my fault. I told Mia to run into the fields with me and go to the river". Alex smiles a small smile, melting Nana's old heart like only he can. "Fine pups, but now let's get you clean, OK and no more running off alone?". "Your dads are picking you up today", she says while washing and scrubbing us. Finally, getting out of the bathtub and cleaning again, Nana gave us some of her soup and homemade bread. We ate like a typical hungry wolf, him and I. Alex is now seven and he is the son of the Alpha of our pack. The Silvermoon Pack has also been our future Alpha and he's got black hair and blue eyes and he has been my best friend since I can remember. I am Mia and I am now six years old and I also have black hair and blue eyes and I am the daughter of the Beta of The Silvermoon Pack. I think we get our looks from our father, who also has black hair and is best friends just like Alex and me. Every night as we get fetched to go home, we tend to ride on our dad's backs , seeing that their wolf also likes to run. Our home is the Packhouse where the Alpha, Beta and Gamma families live, and then we also have houses for the rest of the pack all over our territory and, being the biggest and strongest pack of all, we have the biggest territory around. You can say it's almost like a small town and we are also boarding two other packs , the red and gold moon packs. Seeing our fathers come into the cottage, we just simply knew trouble would follow soon. "So you two have gone to the river again, without supervision or a warrior or Nana?". the currant Alpha asked his son asked at me with a frown. " Yes dad ,but we were careful ". Alex explains, but Alpha Josef is not a easy one to fool." You know better, son, it's dangerous being there alone, two pups, and think of Mia 's safety next time you think of wandering off alone, OK?!".Alpha Josef answers in his Alpha tone . Alex and I only bow our heads, knowing we must obey his word and rules . My dad only looked at us, disappointed and saying, " you heard the Alpha, no more running off , now go get your stuff and let us go home." At home we were sent to wash our hands and get ready for dinner . We are still young ,but we know how to respect Alpha and Beta even though they are our fathers. Alex and I were inseparable , we would do everything together, from eating to swimming to playing with dolls. Playing was the best part of it all. "Mia, you are my best friend", Alex said as we played with his pet frog, and for a boy of seven, he was very mature. " Ya silly I will always be your best friend, come let's put the frog back in his tank and then go catch some firefly's". I said, and in a few minutes we were outside the house looking for those little lights. After dinner we would always feed the frog and draw pictures and then come up with some scheme to do some adventures, and one of those things was the catching of firefly's. We would put them in a jar and use them as lights in our tree house and before we go to bed, we would let them free again just to catch them tomorrow all over again. "Look Mia !, there they are over at the big Buch", Alex shouts, excited about his findings. We ran to it and then the game of catching them began. "They are so pretty Alex". Look, I caught two already!". I said happily. "You are right Mia, you know my grandma once said fireflies have magic in them ". "Really Alex ,how?". He smirks' at me giving the four he caught to me ,while we head to the tree house . "She says their light is a gift that they use to attract their mate and if he finds her he gives her his light , because then he will find her again and make his way back to her ". "That is a nice story, I like it". I said and hung the jar up on the tree ,then we sat and played with my dolls ,but after a while it was getting cooler, so we set them free when our moms called us for bed . Mia is my best friend and playing with her was so much fun and nicer than playing with the rest of the kids because she was different. She was like a boy some days , running, jumping , swinging and climbing trees like a boy even though she was a small petite girl and prettier than them too. Mia was a small girl with a big spirit that could lift the forest and she was the only girl I would ever share my secrets with and dad said that's maybe because Mia could be my true mate and future Luna, but we were best friends now and she was so not my girlfriend, so being friends will be all and no more ,eeuw girls!. Best friend forever ….
