The Way of The Pack

The Secret

*** Listen To Home By Phillip Phillips to feel the emotion of this chapter.***

Lilly's POV: Tonight we all sat around outside and made a bonfire. "So, why are we here?" Anna asked. "Because we are." Blaze replied. Haha, that shut her up. I smiled at him and he winked then turned away. "Why is she here?" Fan asked and pointed at Pinto. "Because she's awesome, duh!" Jamie told him. I nodded to her gratefully and held out the box and letter. "What is that?!?" Pinto asked a bit concerned. "I-I don't know." I confessed. "It's from your mom, right?" Fan wondered. I knew any moment I would burst into tears. "Be strong." I repeated in my mind. I shook my head yes and waited for him to continue. "Well, what's in it?" "I really don't know I've had it ever since...." I trailed off not trusting myself to say anything about her. "The accident?" I bit my lip and nodded. "I want to open it with you guys." "Why?" Anna asked."Because She doesn't have any other family members.'' Fan replied.

I glared at him. "Not True!" Allie screamed. "She has us!" Jamie yelled. "She has me." "And Me." "And Me!" They all said and stood up except for Anna. "Lilly, Im sorry I didn't mean it like that." "It's fine, I guess." "Who's gonna open the box and who's going to open the letter?" I asked "You of course!" Someone shouted. "Well yeah but, I want you to help me." I replied. " I say Jamie, Allie, Nina, and me open the letter. Blaze, Fruit, Lara, Ben, and Lilly open the box." "Okay." Everyone agreed and we split into groups. Our group made a huddle and looked at me expectantly. "Well?" "Huh?" "Oh right. Let's split into smaller groups." "Fruit make pairs." "Okay. So, Lilly and Blaze. Lara, Ben, and I'll be a pair." "We'll go look for stuff to open it incase it doesn't budge." "Okay, we'll try to open it." The others left and Blaze stared into my eyes. "Ready?" "As I'll ever be." He went to one side, I was on the other and I tried to open the box on my side. Blaze tried too and we became frustrated after a few minutes. My hand rested on the top of the box and he put his hand down trying to figure it out. Our fingers connected for a brief moment. I blushed and he blushed too. Then, he looked away. "I'm sorry." "yeah, me too." We both apologized and continued looking for solutions.

*********************************

Fruit's POV: We walked through the forest and everything was fine. Or so I thought. It started going wrong when, Lara and Ben started arguing. *Flashback* We walked through the forest and everything was quiet. Until, Ben started to apologize. "Lara, I'm really sorry about everything." She continued giving him the silent treatment. "Lara, I know you're mad but, please talk to me." She wouldn't speak. "Lara, please!" She didn't say a word. "LARA!!!" He screamed. "It's too late to apologize." She finally said. "I won't give up on you!'' He said with a look of determination in his eyes. "Give me a chance, let me make it up to you. And if I don't make it up to you, you can go back to hating me and ignoring me." "I-I don't hate you." "Please let me make it up to you." "When do you plan on 'making it up to me'?" "Tomorrow at seven." "Fine, I'll go." "Wear something pretty." He winked and I realized we walked off the path. *Flashback Over* "Guys!" "What?" "We're lost!" I heard branches snapping and leaves crunching, so I whisper yelled "Wolves!". The others understood because they changed into wolf form. I growled something like, "Wait! I'll be right back". I ran up the side of a hill as fast as possible and howled. I was answered by six howls. Two of them were Lara and Ben's. I ran down the hill and ran into two black furred wolves. One had golden eyes, the other had golden brown eyes. One of them growled, "Move!" at me. I growled back "Why should I?". "Come on, let's just go around her, Lilly." The other one told her. "Lilly?!" "What?!'' "Is it really you?!" I screamed. I accidentally forgot I was in wolf form and pounced. Luckily, she had fast reflexes and moved but, I still knocked her over and we fell down the hill. The male wolf ran down the hill after us. "Are you guys okay?" I looked up and saw Blaze standing above me and Lilly. My vision cleared a little more and Blaze helped Lilly up and she helped me. We both laughed and I showed them where Lara and Ben were. ******************************

Lilly's POV: When we got back they opened the letter. "Hey, Lil." Allie called. We ran over to them, and Jam told me their idea. "We thought you should be the first one to read this." Jam handed it to me and I sat down slowly. "Here goes." I sighed and pulled out the letter. It read,

Dear, Lilly

Incase something happens to me, I want you to have this. (her necklace)

Baby, Im so sorry I left you. I know I promised I'd never leave you. I tried writing this note a hundred times trying to find the right words. I'll always love you, and I'm sorry for not being there for you. I guess I was hurt that your father left me, and that I'd never have any family except for you, Allie, Abby, and Aunt Sara. If they make you leave take some money and fly out to aunt Sara. I have left everything to you, and I hope one day you get to meet your father. I have changed our last name. You are now Lilly Rose Star. If you can't handle having the same middle name as me you can change it. I leave Sara as your guardian or Anna's mother. Be strong,Lilly. Your dreams will come true. I love you.

Love,

Lola/Mom.

The tears fell from my eyes. I gasped at the part that says me and Anna are sisters. "I love you, mom.'' I whispered and the wind ruffled the trees as if in reply. "What does it say?" "Oh, umm... just read it." I said coming out of my daze and shoving the paper in Allie's hand. She took it and ran over to where the others stood. Blaze ran over to me. He kneeled down and wiped my tears away. "Hey. You okay?" "Hi. Yeah I'm fine." "Okay." It was silent for a while until, he said, "Lilly." "Yes?" I asked. "How about we hangout tomorrow?" "What time?" "Seven?" "Sounds awesome." I said. He helped me up and I kissed his cheek. "See you tomorrow." I said with a smile. We both blushed, and I went into the house.
