The Luna

Chapter 9- Plan

*KingoftheAlpha's.* Jonathan says.

Confusion, fear and worry washes over me. I feel myself shaking because all wolves are naturally afraid of the king. He is the Alpha of all Alpha's. Everyone had to listen to him. He creates all rules and enforces them.

*YouwanttogotalktotheAlohaKing?* I ask.

*TheAlphaKingwillcertainlymakesurethattheyfollowtherulesRenee.*

I shake my head knowing that its a crazy idea.

*They'llknowwe'regoingtohiskingdom.*

*Notifwetakethelongwaythroughthesnowmountains. We'llcrossintohisterritoryinthesnowmountainsthat waytheywon'trealizethatthat'swherewe'regoing.*

I lay my head down thinking about the suicide plan. Maybe we could pull this off, but it would be really difficult. I finally nod my head and Jonathan lays his head on my back. I feel his slow and steady breaths gently scraping across my back. I close my eyes letting darkness take me.

I hear Jonathan growling as I start waking up. The sun is barley up and people look tired still. Kind lay on the others backs and smile seeing Sophia still asleep. Jonathan comes up next to me talking to a guard. They've done a check to see if we're being followed. Nothing comes back and we still haven't seen anyone. Jonathan starts us off towards the mountains that the Alpha lives in. Soon its going to become very cold and I fear for the children. They aren't full wolves yet and may not be able to handle the cold as well as will. Jonathan knows my worries for the kids, but there isn't much of an option. When Jonathan told everyone about the plan to my surprise no one said anything or objected. They must all know that we have no choice. We push through the forest keeping forward. The edge of the forest is getting closer and I'm starting to see the edge. I know that once we get out of the forest its going to be very difficult to stay hidden. Some of the wolves behind me are really quite. I know they are scared. I'm scared too, but I know I can't show it. Jonathan stops all of a sudden snapping me from my thoughts. I stop next to him and see what he's looking at. We're at the edge of the forest and he's looking down. Its a valley as far as the eye can see with hills everywhere covered in a thick blanket of snow. If this plan is going to work, we're going to have to be smart.

Jonathan looks down and jumps. Everyone jumps off the edge following him down and rolling as we fall do the edge. Once we hit the bottom we start running through the snow. I hear howling behind us and I know the other pack has found us. I run quickly trying to look around for some kind of way out. The further we get into the first the harder it is for us to keep going. The wind is blowing hard and the snow is whipping around us. We put our heads down and push forward. The children put their faces down and hold on tight. Christina is right behind me with Sophia. I make sure that they always stay within my jaw snapping distance. Jonathan pushes forward and I think he knows where we're going. He looks up every now and then and keeps going. I trust him, but at this rate I have no idea how things are going to go.

Jonathan'sP.O.V.

Renee stays on my tail pushing forward. There is a cave close ahead hidden in the snow. If we keep going we'll reach it before sun down. Everyone stays strong and pushes forward. I can't smell the other wolves, but I know they're there. Maybe they've found somewhere else to rest up. I don't want to stop anywhere that could be obvious. As the wind blows harder and the sun starts going down I see the cave in the distance. Its covered in snow, but its there. Renee collapses behind me. I stop hurrying over to her nudging her softly. Shes weak, but stable. I push her back onto her feet and we all hurry to the entrance to the cave. We start digging and clawing at the snow to break in. Then we all hurry in and everyone falls to the grown panting and curling up. Renee rubs against my side and lays down motioning for me to lay with her. I lay behind her and she lays her head down.

*Howlongcanwestayhere?* She asks.

*Justforthenight.* I say looking around.

Mostly everyone has gone to sleep. Some of the guards are up watching. I nod to them telling them to get some sleep. Renee relaxes before falling asleep silently.
