The NaNoWriMo Story
The NaNoWriMo Story I Wrote (Rewrite)
Ok, so somehow my original thread disappeared off the planet after a day of being on the CB (yes I looked in the back pages too). Guess it was an error or something. Anyway, I am going to be posting chapters that I wrote on NaNoWriMo here daily. Just so that you guys can read it and enjoy it. It's called 'The Wolf Pack'
Prologue:
It was a cold winter night. It was so cold it felt like you could freeze inside out. All was clear and silent until two slender silver shapes appeared in the moonlight. They stared in silence for a minute, watching the breathtaking view on the Glacier Mountain peak. The smaller female one looked out over the horizon, seeing nothing but mountains. “Thats all there’s is, isn’t it? Mountains and mountains. Silver, you know I love you, and this adventure... But we need to face the facts.” The other wolf, a bigger male turned his head to look at the other. “Luna, we’ve come this far, we can’t stop looking-“ his voice broke off, and he lowered his head. Luna looked hard at Sliver. “You want the best for the tribe. I understand that. But maybe you are looking too hard for a perfect life. The pack is suffering, and it only gets worse from here. Maybe we should stop... this.... all of this.” Silver lifted his head and growled. “WE CAN’T GO BACK, CAN’T YOU UNDERSTAND? WE ARE STUCK HERE!” His cry’s echo spread over the mountain. Luna was silent. Silver sighed and said, “They would die if I went back. They are too tired. I need to find this, Luna. For all of us.” Luna thought for a moment and then responded. “Well, maybe, we could find a way to live here. Somewhere less extreme of course. But we can do it. Better than dying out here, right? Come on, we can adapt. I know we can do it. Together.” Silver shook his head, “No, no. Nothing but mountains for miles, and we are warm forest wolves. We can’t make it out here, I have to find the Paradise, I have to. Wait. Maybe I could try and find it myself! Then I would find you guys! You could help adapt the pack for a bit, and I would find it! Yes-“ He looked back and saw Luna’s face, with her blue sad eyes. Silver sighed. “It’s for the best. This can make everyone happy. I know I will be on my own, but I can do it. If you just believe in me, I can do it. And I know you are a perfect leader. The pack loves you. Just believe in me. Because I do. I will be right back, and we will all go to Paradise, the perfect place. It will be a happy ending. Please.” Luna looked away for a moment. Then she licked Silver. “Goodbye,” She solemnly said. Silver smiled and said, “Thank you.” He nuzzled her, and after a long pause, Silver ran away, disappearing into the night.
Never to be seen again.

Chapter 1:
“Penguin!” Hazel called, looking around frantically. “Penguin, where are you?” The brown wolf looked around frantically around her. “Penguin, don’t play games with me. It could be dangerous out here. Remember the scary polar bears Mom told us about?” She started to get worried until pop! A black puppy popped out of the snow, giggling. “Penguin!” She laughed. Penguin cried, “Again!” and dug back into the snow. “Not now. We are almost to the penguins. You want to see some penguins?” “Yes!” Penguin squealed. He eagerly ran in front of Hazel to see his namesakes. Having Penguin see the penguins for the first time wasn’t the only reason they were here, little did he know. Hazel has been assigned by her mother to research the penguin group to see if they were worth a full-fledged hunt on. Trouble is, Hazel didn’t actually know where the penguins would be. Only the old elder Herb told her where they might be. But Penguin thought ‘might be’ means ‘is going to be’, so hopefully Herb was right. While they were walking on a snow flat land, Penguin looked around him excitedly, like he was waiting for a penguin welcome party to come. Then suddenly, Penguin turned his head and stopped. “Ice,” he said. “What do you mean, ice? There’s lots of-“ Hazel looked in the direction Penguin was looking at and stopped in her tracks.
There was a gigantic chunk of ice there. Hazel was astounded. “Woah, I’ve never seen something like this. The pack needs to know about this!” Hazel looked back toward home. Penguin pouted and said, “Penguins!” Hazel smiled and said, “Fine, after penguins.” “Yay!” Penguin shouted and marched toward the maybe-penguins-destination. Hazel followed him, but kept looking back at the ice, wondering if there was something truly more to it.
