sorry about double posting but i have more for u guys.
Suddenly a slight breeze appeared and a varg, made of mist followed shortly after. The fae looked at Mignon with her mix matched orbs.
“Mignon please don’t cry for me,” Kiba’s voice rang from the mist form, “I chose death. Blocking that attack would have been easy if I tried.” The spirit was peaceful and calming in a way. ”Just as I have told you before, death is a release not a punishment. ”The mist began to swirl as Kiba’s spirit said it’s last words. “Live your life, not mine”
An ebony wolf padded softly in the snow covered mountain. He searched everywhere for his beloved loved one and the daughter she had forced on him. Bandit’s eyes widened as he seen Kiba’s spirit rise above her body, telling Mignon to live her own life. 4 Small tears caressed down his cheek. Bandit was to late to talk to his beloved. Fire took to his eyes, “let them perish, let them die, I never wanted them!” he whispered to himself. The two pups would never be children to him, for he was not the father type. He marched into the clearing and stood over Mignon.
”I shall take her whether you like it or not!” Bandit looked at the varg who had once been his daughter with disgrace. “I do not care whether you wish to carry her, you will not get the liberty, leave and never return!” Bandit hissed at the brown varg in front of him. Bandit placed his lover on his back and silently made his way up the mountain, holding back the tears which threatened to take over him.
Back at the camping site, Shura, Shadow, and Anritha had reached Cocola’s body and between them, she was placed on there backs as they made there awkward way up the mountain, past the forest which dwelled there and through the snow which sleeps. Finally reaching the spot where Anritha had dug the two holes the trio noticed Bandit. As Bandit had done they lay the Ivory vargs next to there graves. The four wolves looked at each other and then leaned there head back to let out a sorrowful howl, one to tell all vargs in the forest that the time had come.

Awesome! What is with the random 4? In the last few paragraphs there were random 1,2, 3 and the like. What is that?
Anywho, here are a couple paragraphs of Chapter One, I'm really getting too carried away with the whole childhood thing. I'm writing more then I first thought I would.
Chapter One: “You can’t catch me!” Anritha shouted behind her to Dyle. They were playing tag, Dyle was it and Anritha was his target. Dyle was quicker than Anritha so it gave him an advantage. As he was approaching Anritha sped up determined not to get tagged, so she continued to run in zigzags so it was harder to get a hold of her. Despite her efforts, Dyle nipped Anritha’s tail.
“You’re it…” he said sharply to his sister. Dyle turned around quickly and sprinted away. Anritha stopped and looked around, Dyle was a pointless target so she tried to find one of the other three. In the bushes she saw Yolanda, she ran towards her. Yolanda saw her sister approach and ran off. Anritha chased after her, the only sounds she could here were her footsteps and her breathing. Her sister was only a few yards away from her when she heard the howl that belonged to her father. If you were the child of Anita and Namiro, you know a howl meant return to them immediately. All four kids stopped where they were and ran toward their parents. The four stopped before the two adult wolves.
“Listen, you are all the right age to start to learn and hunt. Your father and I want you to be self-sufficient so we shall teach you how to hunt. When you get the hang of it, all four of you will go out on a group hunt and get yourselves the food for the day. So, it is about noon now, we shall instruct until nightfall, and then you shall each be tested. If you do well, then great! Though if you don’t, then we will continue harder training tomorrow,” explained Anita in a strong voice. The four pups nodded to the directions. The last thing they would want to do is disagree.
“Everyone follow your mother and me to the deeper part of the forest…” Spoke Namiro to his children. Him and Anita got up and started to walk. The small pups got up and followed them. A rabbit ran in front of Namiro, he grabbed it by the end of its puffy tail. It ran in place to try and escape but it soon realized that it couldn’t, so it stood there waiting to die. “Perfect! A rabbit, good food for pups your age, the meat is chewy and healthy for your developing teeth. Though they are quick, they can get easy to catch. If you don’t catch it after awhile, it runs to its hole, there, you can trap then quickly kill it. Any questions so far? Good, let’s continue.” He spoke aloud so everyone could hear. Since the rabbit was no longer needed, Namiro let it go and it scurried off into the bushes.

it is the page numbers, lol. okay i shall post some more.....
Slowly pelts where beginning to show through the trees. The wolves had come to show there respects and say a final farewell. Among the wolves were Shadow, once a great friend to Cocola and Kiba, Amethist. Whom had been Cocola’s current Alpha, Shetan, who was Cocola’s former pack leader, Mignon, Slush, one whom had played along side Cocola, Feather and Flicka, whom had both once been Cocola’s children, Feather had once also been Kiba’s, Assianna, , Underworld, and Orion. Several more vargs came and were not accounted for. They split, those who where there mostly for Kiba 5
stood to her side, those who were there mostly for Cocola stood toward her side, those who were there for both equally stood towards the middle. Shura stepped forward to begin the ceremony.
“Fellow vargs, we are here today to honor two great wolves, both whom will be in our hearts forever. Some wonder how only two wolves left so much impact on our lives. Well to answer that question we must understand. Cocola and Kiba were not just ordinary Faes. Both of them will be remembered by all as fighters and as brave wolves.” Shura stopped as he stifled a tear. He paused to compose himself and then continued. “ Both vargs severed for there own armies, Every fight they ever fought had been unfair, one soldier to a million. Only against one another did the fight become equal and the odds became fair.” Shura backed down from the center. He began to think that he had noting else to say and he didn’t. the next wolf took center.
Shadow looked down at her friend and tried not to break down. She looked at the wolves around her. “Every single wolf here has at least spoken to one of these faes,” began Shadow” Even if you have not liked them you still have come to honor them. That tells you that these vargs were great wolves and loved there life. So if they loved there life so much why did the kill themselves?” she asked the listening vargs. Shadow swallowed a tear that had slid down her face towards her mouth. “ The reason Cocola, “ at the mention of her friends name Shadow almost broke down” The reason,” Shadow could not bring herself to say the words.
Amethist trotted over to her friend and nuzzled her. If Shadow was not able to finish her words then Amethist would speak. “ The reason that Cocola and Kiba killed themselves was because these woods that we live in have turned evil. Demons take over the 6 trees, Inhabiting us, they make all vargs think war is the only way. The voices each and every wolf in these woods posses tells them to kill. Kiba and Cocola died as a rebellion, They died because they believed the forest had gone to the inner demons in all.” Amethist paused for tears to flow. After a minute she realized she had nothing more that she could express in words. The last thing the two vargs said before stepping out of site was “ we will miss you” The next varg took center, Assianna came forth to express her feelings.
“ I have never really talked to Cocola, although we have had small fights, such as the one when I Kratos and I became mates. I am glad we had settled our differences before it was to late. Kiba on the other hand, sure I had joined her revolt against my own pack, but that never brought us back to the sister type.” Assianna looked at all the many colored pelts. “We had never made up for our fights.” she could no longer think clearly, reluctantly she took a step back.
It seemed as if no others were going to speak. Without regret in there hearts the groups of wolves pushed the faes into the final resting spots. Groups were formed to cover the graves and scouts were sent out to retrieve grave markers. Shadow returned quickly before Cocola’s hole had begun to be covered.
“Wait!” she yelled, Shadow reached the edge of the grave and released her package. Several Ivory pelts stitched together by man fell down into the hole. “May you visit your family once again in heaven, may you forever fight the man who slaughtered them. I believe that you can come back into this world through relatives, but what if you have no relatives? Can you still come back?” Shadow asked each question with hope in her eyes. Out of the corner of her eye a brown pelt came into view.
“Cocola may you find the man whom nobody trusted, May you find the one whom has showed us all that two-leggers can be trusted. Have Nora’s bracelet as a reminder of what was once. May you live up to your name.” Anritha watched as vargs began to cover the hole with dirt, Amethist and Shadow stood as still as logs as they seen there friend’s final resting place. “Shadow, Amethist, we can do no more here, we must leave.”
Shadow and Amethist solemnly followed the fae. “Shura, would you like to come too?” Shadow asked with tears streaming down her face. Shura nodded and walked out of the site with the other vargs. Eventually the graves started to become clearer, wolves were leaving from everywhere. Finally it was only Bandit left.
“I will always love you my dearest Kiba. Soon I will join in heaven. Never forget me as I will never forget you. My days will be filled with darkness till the end. I am sorry to say that both your children have abandoned me, Shura has joined the brave and loyal of this forest and Mignon will surely want to join our enemy, Kohatins.” bandit paused for a single tear to come down his face. “ I will continue my battle against the Kohatins my love, I will become Alpha, or I shall die to join you.” Bandit looked one last time at the grave he would be visiting often and began to walk back towards his home.

Yeah for me! I have finished chapter one! Yesh!
Here is the rest (don't mock me 'cause it's long!)
As they walked, Anritha looked at the trees that stood high; they looked one thousand feet tall to her. She was so distracted by the magnificent surroundings that she bumped into Ronsing who was had stopped in front of her. This time Anita was talking. “For generations, our family has had the ability to climb onto tree tops. This helps you a lot while hunting; your prey cannot see you. You must remember though to be absolutely silent otherwise your cover is blown. This also goes for if you are ever fighting another wolf, which most likely will happen one day. Now, I shall go amongst the tree tops, and you will be required to learn how to too.” She said getting ready to climb the tree closest to her. “Now, unfortunately wolves haven’t been given retractable claws, but we managed our way around that. The key to doing this is quickness, if you slow down, you will fall.” She stated to her pups. Anita quickly ran up the tree to the lowest branch so her pups could still see her. They all stood there in awe. “Now, it’s your turn, Ronsing, you try first.”
Ronsing had a determined look in his eye; he wanted to get up the tree. As he ran toward the tree, he stopped right before the trunk of the tree. He gulped. Then, Ronsing backed up and hopped onto the trunk, though, he fell almost right away. He let out a long sigh and tried again. This time Ronsing didn’t pause right before he jumped on the base of tree, he stayed on for about five seconds then fell on his back and let out a slight ‘ow’. Several times he had to try before he got his paws to reach the branch. When he got to meet his mother, he was covered in dirt from falling so much. His mother chuckled slightly at his appearance, with him, not at him. Anita looked below at the three remaining cubs. “Okay, Dyle, you try next.” She shouted down below. Dyle was the fastest of all of the pups there, and he was very determined to get to the branch where his mother and brother sit. “Mother, the weight of all three of us would make the branch fall! I can’t go up yet.” He said in a slight panic voice. Anita smiled at the statement, and she had wanted her children to notice this from the start. This was a key part in tree climbing; knowing what trees to climb. “Thank you mother,” he spoke out. Dyle backed up about five meters. He grinned at the tree then sprinted to it. When he reached the base of the tree he jumped and put his claws into the tree and kept on climbing. Dyle reached the branch on his first try, something unexpected by everyone. “Bravo Dyle, Bravo!” Shouted Namiro in complete excitement, he always seemed to be very proud of Dyle. Being that Alpha spots would soon be open in the forest, he wanted Dyle to be Cohan Alpha in Alden forest. So, Namiro knew he would be a shoe-in, most of the time not thinking that Anritha, Ronsing, or Yolanda would have a chance next to their brother. “Okay, now Anritha, you try. Ronsing, you need to come down so the branch does not break,” instructed Namiro. Just as her brothers did, Anritha backed up about five meters. She took a deep breath before she went into a sprint. Then, she charged at the tree and jumped, a few feet from the branch she lost her footing and fell straight down, landing on her side. Her fur was now covered in dirt and she had a few cuts from sharp rocks. ‘Ow’ was all she could think. She tried again and failed again. “Come on Anritha, do it just like Dyle did!” shouted her father. Just what she needed, judgment from wolves watching, Anritha hated being compared with Dyle. Now with slight anger, she backed up and ran to the tree, this time she almost got there. Her left paw had touched the branch but still, she fell hard on her back. “No, more speed, do it like Dyle!” Namiro shouted toward his daughter. This only added to Anritha’s anger, she backed up ten meters. Despite her pain from falling twice, she ran toward the tree incredibly fast. She jumped and climbed, not only did she get to the branch; she got to a branch twenty feet higher than the one intended. “Excellent! Excellent!” Anita cheered to her daughter. Even her siblings were happy for her, including Dyle. Dyle was not one to be vain; was actually modest and liked to see others succeed instead of him. This made most of Anritha’s happiness grow except she could barely get a smile out of her father. She jumped down and landed hard on her feet. “You know I guess Dyle could’ve done better?” She yelled at Namiro. His face was terrified; he hadn’t known what he had done. Though it was a tad too late, Anritha had sprinted of to the cave where they live. She curled up in a ball and went to sleep. Anritha currently didn’t care if she missed her hunting lesson, it was almost dark anyway. Her dreams were filled of impossibly high trees that she tried and tried to climb but fell and fell. When she got to the top of the tree to reach the branch, she fell to the ground and right before she hit the ground, she woke up. Her golden eyes looked around; the only thing she really remembered was being very upset. She got up and looked around, everyone was sleeping. Anritha felt slightly guilty at how she got so angry, she missed her training and the chances that they’d repeat it are slim to none. She walked out of the cave and went to the deeper part of the woods. There were more animals out then she had thought there would be. Most of the sounds were either howls of other wild wolves and the hooting of owls. Anritha looked around when she saw a rabbit run passed her. Perfect! She thought and chased after the rabbit. Yes it was fast just as she had been told, but Anritha was determined to catch it. She jumped forward and landed right on the rabbits back, breaking its spine and killing it instantly. Excited and proud of herself, she dined on the rabbit’s meat in victory. When all that was left was bone, Anritha moved on, exploring. She found a tree with many branches that was quite tall. To prove something to herself, Anritha backed up ten meters and sprinted towards the tree. She jumped and once more dug her claws into the tree and climbed. With no difficulty, she reached the closet branch. Anritha smiled and hopped down. Feeling sure of herself, Anritha walked back to her cave. On the way she heard a growl beyond the bushes. Knowing that she was only a pup, she didn’t think she should go see what it was. Once again Anritha heard the growl, this time louder. Getting scared she picked up her pace. The growl this time was longer and more frightening than ever, Anritha was in a full out sprint to home. Then, out of the bushes jumped out a mountain lion, Anritha was scared to death. All she could do was howl for help, and then she ran in the other direction, further from her home. The mountain lion ran after her, hoping she would be its meal for the night. Anritha screamed for help, she was getting tired and she was now surely lost. She howled and howled, hoping someone would come, but the sound of the lion was getting closer and closer. Trying to think quickly, Anritha looked around and saw a large tree with many branches, one much similar to the one she had climbed earlier. Leaving no time to think about it Anritha climbed up the tree with all her might and made it to the lowest branch. The lion tried to do what she had tried and Anritha had to go higher. Soon she was close to the top and the mountain lion could no longer reach her, the branches could only hold her small weight and would break to the weight of the large mountain lion. “ANRITHA!! ANRITHA!! ANRITHA WHERE ARE YOU?!” Screamed Anita and Namiro, they had heard their daughter’s howl for help and immediately went to go look for her. Their children were also there behind them. “MOM! DAD! TH-THERE’S A MOUNTAIN LION BELOW ME, I’M IN A TREE! OVER HERE OVER HERE!” Anritha shouted in return. With no time to lose her parents found her almost instantly, they also found the mountain lion. “Yolanda, Dyle, Ronsing, and Frilltoe, back away, this could get very dangerous,” warned Namiro. Him and Anita bare fangs and got into a fighting position, the mountain lion did just the same. The two wolves circled the lion and surrounded it. Suddenly, as if a bell had been struck, the two attacked the lion at the exact same time, each striking the beast. Namiro had a firm grip on the lion’s neck but the lion shook him off and he slid of the dirt. Anita had managed to dig her front claws into the lion’s back, when she had a firm hold, she dug her maw into its spine. A roar of pain escaped the lion’s mouth and it backed up and rammed the mother wolf into the tree Anritha was staying in. Anritha held on to the branch she was staying on for safety so she would not fall. Namiro got up and went over to Anita to see if she was okay. She said she was okay and they both got back up to turn and fight their opponent who was already bleeding a heavy deal. Though, they reacted to slow and the lion bit Namiro in the neck. Anita slashed the lion in the eyes so it released her husband. She charged after it and rammed her head into its stomach. It backed up some but Anita kept charging. Though, before she could attack it again, the mountain lion ran off. Anita turned around and ran toward Namiro to check on his condition, Anritha was hopping down the branches to return to her parents, and her siblings were running over from the bushes to join their family. “I’m really sorry, I ran off during hunting and I thought I needed to learn so when I was coming back I came across the mountain lion, and, and I’m really, really sorry!” Anritha apologized in a very quick voice. She didn’t know what to say, she almost got her parents killed. “Oh, no, it isn’t your fault. I was acting irrational back during hunting. I was playing favorites and I know I never will again, this is just a sign of karma my dear, it isn’t your fault at all.” Namiro said blaming himself for all of this. He had felt guilty about what he had done earlier from the very start. “Please tell me you at least caught something Anritha?” He said trying to lighten up the mood. Anritha smiled, she was proud to say, “Yes of course I did! I caught a rabbit and it tasted quite good.” She smiled, “come on let’s get home.” She said and helped her father get up. They were talking the whole way home, the whole family interacting with each other. This time Anritha made it home with no troubles and the wolves got to the spot in the cave where each one sleeps. All of them tired from what they encountered in the forest. Anritha curled up into a ball and drifted off into a peaceful sleep, filled with only pleasant dreams.
