Chapter three.

Hailee lay in her bed of leaves half asleep. Her mind wandered as she was falling asleep. Why did they not like her? Why were they afraid of her? What were they hiding from her? Finally after pondering these questions for a while, Hailee drifted off.

“Hailee wake up!” A voice called interrupting her sleep. Hailee sat up. It was her father. “Get up everyone else is up.” He said sternly. Hailee’s ears flattened to the sides of her head. “I’m sorry dad.” He didn’t answer instead he trotted away. Hailee sighed. “Another day.” She said. She got to her paws and padded carefully toward the direction of the door. But she wasn’t careful enough, she accidentally ran into someone knocking her and the other wolf of their paws. “Hey!” The wolf said. It was Kayla. “Sorry Kayla!” Hailee said. “Watch where you’re going Hailee!” Kayla snarled. Kayla had been dragging a recent hunt inside. Hailee lowered her head. “Sorry.” She whimpered then padded outside. She sat next to the entrance of the cave. She was not allowed any further then the entrance because they didn’t want her getting lost because she couldn’t find her way home. Hailee had never stepped one paw past this entrance and no one wanted to take her out there. She heard tiny paw prints behind her. “Hi Hailee!” Caleb said. “Hi Caleb. What are you doing out here?” She asked. before he could answer they were interrupted. A long howl filled the air. Hailee felt her father pass her, growling ferociously. (Hailee’s father was the pack leader.) “What’s going on?” Hailee whispered to Caleb. “There’s a strange new wolf here.” Caleb whimpered. Although Hailee didn’t know it in front of Akeelah was a light brown wolf with green eyes, his his back right leg was dragging lamely in the dirt. “Who are you intruder!” Akeelah growled. “My name is Winston, I come from a wolf pack in the east.” The new wolf said. “And what do you want from us?!” Akeelah spat. “My wolf pack was attacked by terror birds. They slaughtered my pack.” Winston said. “I was the only one who escaped.” He said. “What happened to your leg?” Akeelah asked. “I was born with it like that. I’ve been searching for a place to stay.” Winston said. Akeelah’s voice softened but only a bit “Fine you may stay here… but you will sleep OUTSIDE the entrance of the cave until you have earned our trust. We don’t take kindly to wolves that are…different.” Hailee felt him glance at her from the corner of his eye. Hailee sighed and turned around to go back in the cave.
