Chapter 3

'Beep, be-beep, be-beep' the noise cut through my mangled dreams and I sat bolt upright as I remembered the fire. Or, well, I tried to anyway but I was covered in bandages so thick that I couldn't 'Wha..?'

'You passed out.'

'Huh?' I looked for the voice. It was a strange boy, about my age, 17, with sharp golden eyes that would never miss anything. 'Who?'

'I dragged you from the appartement when I saw the other two stumble out.'

'Rose! Morgan!' I managed to sit up, 'Where are they?'

'Ha, no 'thank you'? I expected as much from you,' he chuckled darkly. 'They're next door if you want me to get them?' He started to rise out of his seat.

'No.. thanks.' I thought for a moment as I started to realise something. 'Why were you at our appartement anyway?'

'Oh, well, I... I was just passing by when I saw the smoke coming out of your windows.' His eyes moved from mine, to the bedsheets, to his hands then back to mine again. I could tell it wasn't true but decided not to press further as the truth clearly made him uncomfortable. 'Who are you anyway?' I looked at him trying to decide if I knew him or not but I couldn't recall ever seeing his face before. He looked at me, my golden eyes almost fully reflected in his, and frowned 'You don't remember me?' He seemed genuinely worried and slightly hurt as he said it. 'No. Should I?' I looked questioningly at him as he looked down, his near violet hair covering his face for a second. 'Jynx, it's me, Dannyl. Your pack brother?' He looked at me hopefully. Pack brther? I mused. Well I guess we do look kinda similar with the same colour hair and eyes and all... I frowned as I thought about the first one. Pack? Is that not like dogs or wolves or something? i must be over-thinking this. I looked at Dannyl again and saw him fiddling with something. 'What's that?' I tilted my head questioningly, squinting slightly as I tried to get a better look at it. 'Ah, nothing.'

'No. Seriously. What is it?'

'It's jus a picture.'

'Of what?'

'Ah- here.' He handed me the picture hesitantly, almost as though he thought something bad was going to happen whn I looked at it. The picture felt strangely warm, as though it had been sitting in a slow-baking oven for an hour. It was a picture of two dogs playing together. Wait a minute... they're not dogs those are wolves! I looked at every detail of the picture closely trying to figure out why it had made him so nervous to give me it. I peeked at him quickly and saw he was looking at the picture frowning slightly and looking worried for some reason. Looking back at the picture I saw that the wolves were starting to move slowly like they were playing with eachother in slow-motion. I swayed slightly then the world busrt with sounds and scents.

He whined playfully and jumped towards me as i ducked and caught his belly with my muzzle. We tumbled over and landed in a joyus heap in the grass.

'Jynx! Dannyl!'

We both looked up just in time to see mum standing in her human form taking a picture of us using her new camera. We scrambled to our paws and ran over to her, jumping over eachother in our rush to get to her first.

'Haha!' she laughed kneeling down so we could reach her easier. 'Calm down! Calm down!' We knocked her over and Dannyl sat on her chest while I licked at her face making her laugh even more as she morphed into her wolf form knocking Dannyl off her chest and onto me.
