Chapter 2

 

  “It would be the greatest honor to join Moontribe, thank you Darkscar” I choose my words carefully. One wrong move and it could ruin the whole thing.

  “Well then Lightheart, welcome to the tribe, one more thing. How old are you?” Darkscar asks me.

  “ Seven moons why” I say.

  “ You will be able to be trained soon, Tonight we assign mentors and positions. This will be yours and Moonlight’s eighth full moon, you will be assigned mentors.” I've been waiting so long to hear these words. I've wanted to train since the day I was born, but who is moonlight?

  “Where do I go now sir” I ask.

  “ there are some trees over there” Darkscar says gesturing with his tail to four trees almost touching.” I ts the nursery, Moonlights in there, I suggest you meet.”

  I Look to the trees and start to walk over there. I bump into a wolf. He is old and mean looking.

  “Why bother me, go play with the other troublemakers, ya hear!” The old wolf yells.

  “ I-I-I'm very sorry sir” I say with a stutter.

  “ Sir is right” he says “ I am Loudhowl, the toughest and roughest wolf in the forest, keep this in mind next time ya bump into me.” .

  I run off and head into the brambles that surrounded the trees. A little wolf came up to me. He is not too well on his feet yet.

  “Hi, I'm Stamperpaw!” He runs playfully around my legs and hits me with a bombard of questions. “Hi, who are you, what are you here for, where ya from, my name is Stamperpaw,why are you so black furred, By the way my names Stamperpaw.”

  “ Okay little one, you have bothered the newcomer enough. Hello I'm Hazlewood, Stamperpaws mother.” Her sleek, brown fur was beautiful.

  “Hi, I'm Lightheart” I say happily I have finally found someone I can talk to.

  “ Well most of the Tribe already knows about you” she says. I can't tell if she is joking or not.  

  “Is that a good thing or a bad thing” I ask her.

  “Well it is just news, in moons to come it will change to either good or bad news, you decide your path Lightheart”

She says. This is a wise dog.

  “Trust me, it'll be good news” I say.”by the way I was sent to see Moonlight?”

  “Oh, she just went out to play in the ferns on the outside of camp” Hazlewood tells me.

  “thanks” I say as I'm leaving. I go to the entrance of the camp and Darkscar walks up to me.

  “Are you lost?” he asks.

  “No I met Hazlewood and she said-”

  “Hazlewood, she is nice isnt she” He interrupts.

  “She told me Moonbright-”

  “Moonlight” he says.

  “Moonlight is playing in the ferns” I finally finish my sentence.

He lets me be and I walk outside of camp. A beautiful pure white wolf is playfully rolling in the ferns. I sit there.

  “You must be the new wolf” she says without even looking at me. She finishes rolling and sits in the ferns. “Your name is lightheart and you're coat is black!” she says surprised. She sort of giggles.”Excuse me, I'm just excited”.

  “Excited about what.”

  “Becoming eight moons of corse. I heard that I will be trained by Stripedtail.”She says triumphantly. I remember learning his name, but I can't put a face on him.

  “Who is Stripedtail?” I ask quietly.

  “Who is Stripedtail! Only one of the most trained warriors not to mention his sister is proxy. You will probably be trained by a lower ranking officer like-.” There is a howl in the distance. It is time for the gathering.
