Toby book 3: Friend from the past

A Story by Glacia

What will they find when they decide to look for others

Flare waited until everyone had finished eating. When everyone had finished, Flare stood up. "Are you guys ready to keep going?" he asked. Everyone nodded. Flare turned around and started walking, everyone fallowed him. Julian looked at Toby. "So Toby we are going to find your family?" he asked. "Yes, well I'm hoping anyway, i've been with these guys since I was a little pup" answered Toby "Interesting, do you remember anything at all? maybe if you could Remember something from before you came here it could help us" Said Julian "Hmm....You are right...i really don't remember much though, Glacia showed me where they found me near a river" answered Toby Julian looked at Glacia. "Do you remember anything Glacia?" Asked Julian Glacia looked back at Julian, still walking "We just found him by the river one day while we went to drink, no one was around" answered Glacia. Julian looked down, feeling bad he couldn't help.
Suddenly Toby stopped and perked his huge rabbit-like ears. Toby had better hearing then any of the pack. "What is it Toby?" said Flare stopping suddenly. Everyone else stopped and looked at Toby. "there is another wolf near" said Toby. "Well...aren't you a crafty one" Said a voice in the distance, Flare looked ahead of him and saw a white and black wolf approaching. Flare growled. "My oh my, what kind of wolf pack is this?" smirked the wolf "This is my pack, we are passing through, we don't want any trouble" Growled Flare "Oh, I think you found trouble when you set paw in this territory" said the wolf laughing evilly. Four other wolves appeared behind the wolf "I am Rozland, and this is our territory!" Growled the black and white wolf, and lunged at Flare going for the neck. Flare lunged as well grabbing onto Rozland's neck with a lot of struggle he managed to pin her "We arn't looking for trouble!" Said Flare Rozland snarled, two of the other wolves overpowered him, knocking him off. Rozland stood up, her neck bleeding. "I'll let you go this time, but don't let me catch you wondering here again" She growled Flare stood up growling. "You wont" he said with a low voice and walked off, Toby, Julian, Mori and Glacia fallowed. "Are you alright?" Asked Toby "I'm fine, don't worry" said Flare.

The group walked for what seemed like hours. Flare stopped. "We need to start asking others if they know of you, Toby" Said Flare "I agree, we should start looking for others" Said Toby "Alright, Toby me and you have the best senses, so me and you can go off in different directions, while the others stay here, we don't want to all split up in case we get lost." said Flare "but Flare I can climb trees, I will be able to spot others" suggested Mori "Good point, you can do that, but stay near Julian and Glacia" said Flare "I will" answered Mori.

Toby and Flare went off in different directions. Toby held up his big ears, listening for paw steps. "Toby?" said a strange voice. Toby lifted his head, the voices sounded familiar, but he didn't recognize it "Who said that?" he asked. Out from the cover of the bushes and trees, emerged an animal who had the exact same features as Toby. Toby stared in amazement, the beautiful female looked exactly like him! other then her colors. "Toby it's you!" said the female. "Who are you? how do you know my name?" asked Toby "My name is Silver, we come from the same species, and we where left out here by our parents" Answered the female "Why, are we siblings?" asked Toby "No, we aren't siblings, my mom told me that our leader banished us both, she doesn't know why. "Is your mother here with you?" asked Toby pacing back and forth still in shock "She was, but she died" Said Silver "Ok, will you come with me? I have a pack waiting for me, we where traveling to find my real family" asked Toby. Silver nodded "Of course"

Toby ran as fast as he could through the forest, Silver fallowing her, when he reached the others he skidded to a stop. "Everyone! I found someone of my own kind!" Said Toby happily wagging his tail Everyone lifted their head "We need to call Flare back" said Mori before lifting her head and howled. Flare perked his ears and ran as fast as he could towards Mori's howl. when he arrived he saw silver. "Who is this? she looks just like you.." said Flare "This is Silver" said Toby "I am a Leacine, like Toby. As pups we both where banished by our leader" explained Silver. Flare looked at Toby. "This is amazing. Silver do you know where the rest of your species lives?" asked Flare "I do! but it is a long way" said Silver. Flare looked at Toby, now realizing there was more, he felt better about going. "What do you want to do Toby, do you want to keep looking going? we are your family to, and we will tag along with you" said Flare Toby looked at Silver then back at Flare "Yes i do" he answered "Then it is settled, we will rest here tonight" Said Flare realizing it was starting to get dark. Everyone settled down into a comfortable position before falling asleep, Flare stayed up watching over them, even Silver. "Our pack is growing..." Flare said to himself before he to lied down and fell asleep.
