Chapter 2

    After a long day of classes, dealing with kids, and being introduced to the class by the teachers, Meg was finally headed home. Walking down the path Meg looked at the stone attached to her bracelet. Where had it come from, how did it glow, and why did it feel  so- so right? All these thoughts ran through her head when suddenly she froze.  She realized where she was. The spot she had been in earlier that day where she had meant the wolf and found the strange stone.

    Looking around she called out ¨Um, hey talking wolf. Are you here?¨

After she said it she realized how stupid she sounded. Had she even really seen him? And had he really been able to talk? Her thoughts trailed on...

    Suddenly a black mist appeared. The mist materialized into a black wolf with a white star on his forehead. Its eyes where a sparkling silver. The shone like the North Star. Meg gasped, she immediately recognized him. It was the wolf from this morning!

    ¨hello pack mate¨ the wolf said.

¨Uh, hello?¨ she tried to stay calm, she realized she wasn't just imagining it, this wolf could really talk!

    The wolf smiled at her. His smile was somehow calming. Meg felt like she was meant to be with this wolf like they were meant to be friends.

    ¨Um¨ was all Meg could say.

¨I came here to find help¨ the wolf said.

    ¨Help, What do you mean help?¨ Before he could say anything a fog appeared. Meg gasped. The wolf growled.

    ¨They're coming for me¨ said the wolf, ¨ You must fight packmate I will explain everything later.¨

¨Who is coming?¨, Meg screamed in terror, ¨ I cant see anything!¨

     Then the fog lifted. Horrifying creatures with skeleton bodies and bat wings where everywhere, surrounding Meg and the wolf. Meg wasn't sure what they were, but one thing she did know is that she and the wolf were in great danger. Meg looked at the stone on her wrist. Somehow it seemed to want to help. Meg lifted it up, feeling kind of stupid. How could this help?

    Suddenly a bolt of golden lightening came out of the stone and slammed into one of the creatures. The wolf smiled, like he knew about this strange power of hers. But before Meg could ask any questions the creatures lunged forward in attack.

    ¨Stay back¨ Meg warned the creatures.

    In reply the creatures laughed maniacally. They started spinning in a circle around Meg and the wolf. Meg concentrated and with a flash of light the creatures were thrown backward. With out another thought Meg sent another blast of magic outward. The creatures tried to dodge it but they couldn't. They clasped to the floor and turned to dust.

    Meg turned to look at the wolf, ¨What the heck just happened, and who the heck are you!¨

¨My name is Northstar and I am a mistwolf, from the world of Aldenmor. I come from my world to search for the twelve creatures who can help me. The creatures I seek are called mages, magic users who can control the elements and are guardians of the web of magic.¨ Northstar continued,            ¨You are a mage, packmate. You are also my bonded. When a mistwolf bonds to a human it is called having a packmate.¨

    ¨Well why me¨ Meg asked ¨ I´m just an everyday teenager. I don´t want to protect anything or anyone. Why me?

    ¨That is something you have to find out on your own.¨ Northstar smiled.

Meg could hardly believe what had just happened, she opened her mouth to speak but couldn't think of anything to say. She took a step backward about to runaway, but something told her this was her destiny.  

    ¨Don't worry, you are not alone in this. I will always be with you packmate. I will protect you.¨ the wolf said in such a calming voice that Meg decided she wouldn't run away from this. For as many questions as she had, one thing she was positive about was that this wolf, Northstar was supposed to be with her, she would protect him and she knew he would do the same for her. ¨Tell me what I need to do.¨ Meg said knowing that her life had changed forever.

    ¨You must find the other mages, then defeat the evil witch Tora. After that I haven't a clue of what is going to happen. I have a feeling that I wasn't told the entire story. All I know is that I'm supposed to find help for my world as well as all the other worlds.¨ Northstar replied.

    ¨Do you want to come home with me¨ Meg asked, though she was unsure of whether or not her parents would let her have a pet wolf.

Northstar smiled, ¨ I would like that packmate.¨

     So Meg and Northstar walked down the path together. Meg knew that her life would never be the same again. She also knew that this journey would take her down many roads, roads that she have never even dreamed existed. One thing she knew was where ever those roads may lead, she wouldn't be going down them alone.
