*5 Months Later*

Liela's Pov
Its been 10 months since me and Lisa ran away. Its been 5 months since I got my mate and that Deka talked to Lisa about me. Food is getting harder to find and Nira went home 2 months ago. Its been a while since I have seen her though. Now that I think of it, why didn't I follow her? I could've met Lisa again! Ugh, I'm so stupid at times!
Lately I've been in human form more than cat form. I find it easier to do things. I do go fishing in my cat form though. That's easier.
I wonder what month it is now? If we left in August and its been 10 months since we left?
"What month is it?" I ask Jake.
"Umm, I think it's June 5th, 2016. Why?" He asked me.
"I was just wondering. It seems like time flew by. How did we even survive the winter!" I say dramatically.
"Well, we do have fur to keep us warm when we need it Liela." He said to me.
"Oh yea..." I reply.
He chuckled and goes to get fire wood.
We have been doing a routine for fire wood and hunting. We only eat fish, rabbits, birds, and berries. When we're lucky we might even get a dear. We usually don't hunt for anything else. We see Milo and Serena hunting sometimes and we hang out with them. They don't have a human form so they stay in wolf form. Last month Serena said that she would be my protector. She would automatically shift into a silver husky when we're around humans so they won't hunt her. She is Milo's mate and Milo is jakes protector. He shifts into a black German Shepard.

I'm waiting for Jake to get back with wood when I hear a loud gunshot and the noise of frantic birds chirping and crowing as they fled from around the forest to above the tree tops.
I jump up and search around for Jake.
"Jake! Jake!" I call for him. I still get no answer.

Jake's Pov
I hear a loud gunshot and watch as the birds flee. I climb a tree and hide at the top.
"Who are you?" I hear a deep mans voice ask.
"None of your business" said a girl.
"Listen, I'm trying to help you." He said.
"Maybe I don't need your help. Maybe I want to be out here." The girl says to the man.
"What's your name little girl?" He asks her.
"What's your name little man?" She retorts.
"My name is Kyle. I'm a hunter and I just shot a rabbit, then I found you." He says.
"My name doesn't concern you so don't ask it again." The girl snaps at him.
I peek down and see a tall man with short black hair and a hunting hat on. He had camo pants on and a dark green shirt. I look to the girl who has long blonde hair and who looks around my age.
Why is there a girl in the forest?
I turn my attention back at the two and see him reach out and grab her wrist.
"Let go of me!" She yells at him.
"No. I'm taking you back to town." He says angrily.

I jump down from the tree and walk towards the girl.
"Hey, there you are sis! I've been looking for ya everywhere. Mom says dinners done. Let's go!" I say to her. At first she looks confused until she understands.
"Oh okay. I guess we should go. Mom doesn't like to wait. " she says then we turn our attention the guy.
"Sir, can you let go of my sisters wrist before I call the cops please?" I say.
"This girl is your sister?" He asks. I nod my head.
"You guys don't look much alike." He says.
"Well yeah, we have different dads, not that it's any of your business." I say to him. He looks shocked but let's go of the girls hand.
"We need to go eat dinner. Bye mister." I say. I grab the girls wrist and pull he talons with me, away from the guy.

"Thanks," she says.
"Jake. My names Jake." I said to her.
"Nice name. Mines Lisa." She says.
My smile fades as I stop dead in my tracks.
That name, it seems very familiar.
Where have I heard it before?
"Jake are you okay?" I hear her ask. I nod my head and look at her confused.
"How long have you been in the forest?" I ask her. She tilts her head in thought.
"Umm... I think it's been 10 months now. How about you?" She says.
"Umm, I have been out here for 8 years." I answer. She looks shocked.
"How old were you???" She asks me.
"I was 5." I say as if it were no big deal.
"So your 13?" She asks me. I nod.
"Me too!" She says. 
"Cool. My girl friend is here too. She's also 13. She was born out here then taken away. 10 months ago she ran away and we found each other. We've stuck together ever since. 5 months ago we became a couple." I say to her.
"Oh. That's cool. I'd love to meet her but I have to go. My.... Uh..... My friend! Yeah, my friend wanted me back home. I gotta go. See ya!" She said. Then she turn and ran towards the river.
I turn around and picked up the sticks I dropped while climbing the tree. As I stand up, I see Liela run towards me. She jumps and I drop the sticks to catch her. I hold her in my arms and see her face.
"I was so worried Jake! Next time I call you please come back to the site!" She says worriedly with tears flowing down her cheeks and a smile on her face. I caress her face while I wipe her tears away with my thumbs and set her feet on the ground. I give her a hug before answering her.
"I'm sorry I made you worry about me lils. I had to help a girl get away from a hunter." I told her. She smiles and then pulls me away from the spot and back to our camp.

Missy's Pov (Lisa's mom)
Im trying to catch up to her. I see her running from me. She turns a comer and runs into the maze that had a hedge as the walls. I reach the maze and see her turn the corner.
"Wait! Please come back. I miss you. I'm sorry Lisa." I yell. I fall to my knees with tears flowing freely as I lose track of which way she went. I lift my head as I hear a little girl laugh. I turn my head slightly to see a 4 year old Lisa. She has bruises on her arms and puffy red eyes from crying, but she wears a smile on her face.
"Mommy!" She calls. I kneel down to her level and open my arms as she come running into them.
"I missed you!" She says. With each word it sounds like she's getting older. I hold her in my arms and stand to my feet. My 4 year old is now an 11 year old.
"Can we get a pet?" She asks me. I nod with happy tears in my eyes and smile on my face.
She squeals and gives me a hug.
Then the scenery changes. The light goes away and Lisa fades away from my grip. I see her sitting down in a chair. I slowly walk towards her. She looks like she's 12 now. As I reach out to touch her shoulder she slaps my hand away and stands up.
Her face is red with tear stains down her cheeks and red puffy eyes. Her light blue eyes meet my gaze and she clenches her fists.
"YOU DID THIS!!!" She screamed at me while pointing her finger.
"YOUR THE REASON IM DEAD!!!!" She yelled in my face. I fall to the ground and bury my head in my hands. I shake my head as I keep repeating 'no!' Over and over again.
She isn't dead. She can't be dead! I can't believe it, no, I won't believe it!

I jolt awake as I hear a knock on my door. I open the door to see a police officer.
"Hello ma'am. Are you Missy Jayleen?" He asks.
"Yes sir, that's me." I say.
"We are sorry. It's been almost a full year and we haven't come up with anything. We want to close the case of your missing daughter. If you would like, we can help pay for the funeral." He offers.
"No thank you. I don't believe my daughter is dead. She was very strong and much more capable to survive a year in the wild. You may end the case but as a mother, I may not." I say.
"Okay ma'am. Good luck. I hope you find Lisa." He says and then walks away.
I will never give up. I'll find her. I know I will.
