Chapter 1

----------------------------------------

Screams rang out in the night, fires from the village burned bright.

Behind her, her brother and sister kept close to her as they ran.

Emily, the eldest at nineteen, was strong and smart. The raid had

happened shortly after dark. The bandits had attacked with no mercy:

death for the men; rape and slavery for the women. Mother and father

had run to fight the thirty or more bandits to give their children

time to escape. Emily cried, knowing father would die and mother would

die and probably be raped. She and her sister and brother would be

sold as slaves if captured; tears burned her eyes as she talked to her

siblings.

"Hurry Mary, hurry Ben, We need to make it to the forest like dad told

us. It's the only safe place."

"Why did this happen Em? Why did they attack our home?" Mary asked,

crying as she ran. Mary, at thirteen, was quiet and shy. She would one

day be a beauty like their mother.

"They're thieves, Mary. They kill and take because they're monsters."

Ben said angrily. Ben, at fifteen,was tall, no grown man, but

intelligent and strong like their father. Emily looked back to be sure

her siblings stayed with her, hoping they would make the forest

unseen. She was their mother now. She would die to keep them safe.

Always.

Micah had visited the village a few times to trade. Now, from the

Micah wondered why humans were so cruel. The pack would never waste

lives or resources, but humans destroy and kill for mere pleasure.

Micah heard footsteps moving closer. He looked to see his pack mates

stop to observe the village, their eyes filled with sadness.

"We should go before we are seen, and report this to the alpha." Said

Kip, Micah's best friend.

"I know Kip. I just can't see the point of all the killing." Micah said.

Moving back into the forest: Micah, Kip, Trevor, and Hugh gathered up

the kills they had made, hunting over the last two days. They picked

up the dray poles and moved into the forest. Micah knew the alpha

would not be happy when word of the attack reached him. It had taken

six weeks to persuade the villagers to trade with the pack and now
