Snow swirled as two boys ran down the side of a cliff. "Alex, this is crazy. We can't escape, and leaving Kodiak and Shadow is a fool's move," the boy with long red hair yelled through the storm.
"We have to do this Adam. If we don't the others will never know what the hunters have planed.
"Look here's their tracks, they went this way," a voice sounded through the snow.
"Great, the hunters cot up," Adam said, "Damn, could this get worse?"
"You spoke to soon," Alex called from just ahead of him.
"What, why is that?" Adam muttered.
"We can't go any farther in this direction, we're at a cliff." Alex cried as the hunters appeared from the snow. Two wolves were at there sides.
"Cot you, that was fun, but next time kids don't make it so easy," the older of the two men said smiling as he grabbed Adam.
Adam stumbled back trying to free himself from the old mans grasp. He bumped into Alex and the blond screamed as he fell over the cliff and into the raging river.
"Let's go return this prisoner to his cell," the old hunter said with a slight laugh as the other who's long silver hair was tied back in a pony tail looked over the edge of the cliff.
"Shane, what do we do about the other one?" he asked.
"Don't bother Mat. He fell from so high up. He must be dead," Shane said, "now let's get back to the base, it's cold here."

Jay and Chase made there way out of the town.
"Jay, it isn't a good idea to come out here during Winter, you now that right?" Chase barked as he looked back at the town he had spent his hole life in.
"So, I just want this all to end anyway." Jay said unenthusiastically.
"You mean you want to die?" Chase questioned shock in his voice.
"Why shouldn't I? I have no family, no things, what is there for me?" Jay yelled at Chase.
"Jay, I need you to be around. We are partners, otherwise we wouldn't have met." Chase growled.
"So says you." Jay snapped back.
"What did the wolf say?" a girl with a light brown wolf next to her asked.
"Nothing, he said nothing," Jay said blushing as he looked he over. Her hair was long and strait. She wore a tight black outfit and had beautiful amber eyes, or at least Jay thought so. Sadly for him she was probably a noble, in other words way out of his league.
"he said something to you, I can tell." She stepped in front of him.
"He said we were partners, happy now?" Jay yelled.
"Very, I'm Kristen, but please call my Kris, and this is Lily," Kris smiled at him.
Jay blushed bright red, had this noble just told him her name? "I-I'm Jason, Jay for short, and the wolf is Chase." Jay stammered shifting his feet.
"Well Jay, you should come with me, there is a place of people like us," Kris smiled winking at him.
"People like us? You do realize I'm a street runner right?" Jay questioned her.
"Ya, but I also realize you're one of the called," Kris smiled.
"A called?" Jay asked.
"Like me, a person who can understand a wolf," Kris smiled. "We're trying to make things better."
"O-okay," Jay said as he fallowed her.
