Wolves Of Secrets

Irresistible

Pixel panted as she ran down the halls of the school. She had just received a text from Zane saying that it was an emergency and she had to come and meet him and the others in one of the art classrooms as soon as possible. She ended up running into people and knocking a few students over, but all she could do was offer an apology and continued running until she finally arrived. She burst into the room finding the pack in there waiting for her with big grins on their faces.

"What's the emergency?" She panted, trying to regain her stamina.

"We sort of lied about the emergency." Lloyd smiled and she gave them confused frowns.

"Actually, we've got something for you," Morro added as Zane stepped forward, holding something behind his back. "On behalf of the wolves you so bravely protected, we would like to present you with these." The lone wolf said and Zane pulled out a framed photograph. The photo inside was a sketch Cole had done of his and Kai's wolf forms.

"They're amazing!" Pixel gasped as she took the gift from her boyfriend. "They look exactly like the wolves I saw."

"Oh, I... just copied them from photos on the internet." Cole quickly lied.

"Thank you so much." She smiled and gave each one of her friends a hug, including Morro. "I can't wait to speak to the Department of the Environment." She suddenly said and they all froze.

"Department of the Environment?" Lloyd asked nervously. "Why?"

"The wolves are in danger up there, with people like Iron Baron and farmers with guns." She spat in disgust at the thought of those wolves being hurt. "In some parts of the world, wolves are protected and I'm going to get our wolves protected too."

"What if going public just attracts more hunters?" Morro asked.

"Or the government decides to shoot them?" Nya added.

"I won't let that happen." She snapped and the others did feel a twinge of joy at the thought of Pixel fighting to defend them, even if she didn't know the wolves she saved weren't real wolves. "You weren't there, but your picture brought it all back to me." She said with a fond smile and they felt like slapping themselves for giving her that picture.

"What do you mean?" Zane asked.

"How they trusted me, how they knew I was their friend." She replied. "And I'm going to make sure no one ever threatens them again."

"Wolves have been extinct in Ninjago for centuries, if you want the government to start passing laws to protect them, you'll need proof they actually do exist," Cole said and the others felt some relief. Pixel didn't have any actual proof there were any wolves in the forest and there was no way they were transforming and running in front of a camera for her.

"And I know exactly how to get it; Iron Baron's wolf-bait." She smirked and all the werewolves in the room instantly paled. Kai and Cole had told them about it and they said it was irresistible. If Pixel started spraying that near them, they would go crazy.

"Y-You've got some?" Jay asked, trying to hide his fear.

"Dareth threw the canister away, but we can go up there after school, find it, attract the wolves, and take all the photos we want!" She giggled excitedly.

"Kai and I can't." Cole quickly said. "We're still grounded."

"Oh right, what about you guys?" She asked the others hopefully. Unable to think of a good excuse they reluctantly agreed and she thanked them before leaving to go get ready for her search. As soon as they were sure she was gone, the pack descended into full-on panic mode.
