A Secret Life

Chapter 5 The Village

As night fell the others back at the den were worried and didn't care to hide it ither.  Well everyone but Komodo and Jake.  Jamie was put on Komodo duty.  Out of no where Komodo burst into laughter startling a few of the wolves.  "Okay, I knew her family was alittle off their rockers but that girl is bat shit crazy.  Oh wow."  He started to laugh again as Jake rolled his eyes not amused by his choice of words.  "Oh wow, I'm so happy that you find a reason to laugh in our families time of worry.  Mother is scared to death that she will not return because of your way of explaining things to her."  He growled moving closer to the boy who just stared at him as if he was bored.

"Then you best tell them all to stop brother.  I'm shocked that you would think that I would just leave like that."  She said snapping her fingers in demonstration.  "But I suppose I can't really blame you for being worried.  I am still very upset with all of you after all.  Run along and fetch mother and father."  She waved her shocked brother away and turned to Komodo.  "You are pathetic.  My family has enough to deal with so behave yourself before I do away with you."  She threatened and his bored look turned to one of fear yet again.  She may have not been raised like him but he knows that she has fazed into her wolf form before and that her being raised by wolves gave her a dangerous advantage.  He quickly hid his fear and smiled.  "Hey I got no intentions of upsetting you again.  You are terrifying when your pissed." 

Graywolf laughed at his annoying fear.  She then walked to the center of the packs domain ready to address the pack.  Aniow bolted out of the cave and immediately started to apologize.  "Graywolf sweetie I'm so glad you are back.  I'm so sorry that we lied to you.  You have to know that we only had your best intentions in mind."  She let her wolf mother continue to apologize and she eventually just burst into laugher.  Her mother looked terrified but hid it quickly when Graywolf focused back on Aniow. 

"I know you thought you were doing the right thing.  I forgive you.  But no more lies, so  Komodo was it?  When do we leave?"  "Right now if you wish Graywolf."  That was a new voice to her but oddly familiar.  She turned to see who spoke in that feminism voice.  It was a pale woman with electric blue eyes and blazing red hair.  "Who the hell are you?"  Graywolf said not caring if she sounded rude at this point.  "This is your birth mother Graybutterfly.  I fetched her for you along with your Uncle Running Deer.  So what do you think baby girl?"  Graywolf looked at her friend and smiled at him.  "Baby Girl?"  The woman Graybutterfly asked looking at Danny.  He just ignored her and stayed focused on Graywolf.

"You did this?"  Aniow's anger was back.  "Yes, but she has a right to know."  Danny told the white wolf trying to reason with her.  "You're damn right I do.  None of you have the right to be mad, I do though."  Graywolf growled at her wolf mother.  Aniow looked back between Danny and Graywolf.  She knew the duo was right and she huffed in annoyance.  "Fine."  Aniow finally caved.  Her daughter looked at her and then towards the woman called Graybutterfly. 

"Again, Baby Girl?"  She said as she looked to Danny again.  "Danny has been with me for as long as I can remember.  Started off as just protection, now he's my best friend and I refuse to be without him."  Graywolf said sternly making Graybutterfly look at her as Danny smirked at his Baby Girl. 

"That's my girl.  Don't worry. You won't be without me cause you and me are a package deal."  "Damn right.  Just like the wolves." Graywolf replied smiling at Danny.  Sure he was older and she was just a kid but they connected.  Not in a creepy pedophile way but in a way of love you bestie no one knows me like you kind of way.  No one could keep them apart just like no one could separate Jamie and her.  It was perfect. 

Running Deer just watched and smiled amused by his nieces actions.  Finally he spoke after recieveing a nudge from Komodo.  "Alright Graywolf you have a decision to make.  Do you want to come to the village with us or not?  You can see your Grandmother and brothers and sister if you do."  Graywolf looked around shocked to the man standing now before her.  "My what?"  He smiled down at the young girl and only nodded in response.  Graywolf looked to the pack then motioned for the cave.  "Stay here."  She said to Running Deer, Graybutterfly, Komodo, and Jake.
