Wolf Hamster Section 1: At The Beginning

"Ahh.. I just love spring.. the flowers sprouting, the air feeling just right, and a cool place to lay at.. like on the grass when the sun is down for the day and turns into night.." said a white hamster laying down on the grass with a blonde ponytail with a blue ribbon in her hair. Another hamster came from the house that the white hamster was beside. This hamster wore a blue baseball hat with a brown fur marking near his bottom with brown ears and the rest of his fur was white. "Aren't you coming in Lilly..? You promised that you would tuck me in tonight.." said the boy hamster. "Mehh.. why don't you tuck yourself in, Skyler?" said Lilly sitting up. Lilly and Skyler are brother and sister. Their mom disappeared and their dad is in a war, fighting to continue the country's freedom. "Fine.." said Lilly as Skyler slowly walked back inside the house. "Why did I have to be the one to take care of him?! " said Lilly upset. She signed and then looked at the clear dark blue sky above her. A full moon appeared in the sky. "A full moon? Thinking of the word reminds me of a tale my grandfather told me long ago when I was young.." said Lilly, wondering what that tale was. She soon layed back down and closed her eyes, not knowing that she fell asleep.

"Hellllooo? Are you awake?" said an unfamiliar voice. Lilly slowly opened her eyes, seeing an unfamiliar hamster. "Wha..?!" said Lilly quickly getting up. "Wh- who the heck are you?! And why did you have to wake me up like that and further more...!! Why are you in... my.. room..?" said Lilly seeing where she was. "This?! Is your room? Hahahaha! You have got to be joking! There is nooo way your room would be outside! Hehehe.." said the hamster laughing on his back with his feet in the air. "Well... sorrry but I haven't noticed I slept outside until a few seconds ago!!" shouted Lilly. "Hmph, well so what! There's no reason why a hamster like you would want to sleep outside! Besides this place is kind of close to where I kinda live at! Which means that this is MY territory!" said the hamster grinning. It was clear, that this hamster wasn't ordinary. Even though a brown hamster with dark brown trangler markings with a bite in his left ear was kind of normal but Lilly wasn't sure that red scar across his right eye was normal or not. "Your TERRITORY?!! This is NOT your 'territory' in fact this is our backyard which clearly means that you don't own our backyard! Alright?!" shouted Lilly. "Hmph.. well sorrrrry! Well, there's no reason to hang around here anymore..." said the hamster, walking straight to a near by forest. "Fine then.. go be a puss and walk away.." said Lilly. That sentence caught the hamster's ears very clearly. He hated being called names.. but what was the reason? "I am no PUSS!" said the hamster pounding his feet as he walked back to Lilly. "Good! Sooo you said you kinda live in the forest, eh?" said Lilly smiling, ignoring his last sentence. Lilly was always good at keeping hamsters to stay with her but for how long could she keep this hamster to stay? "Yeah.. so.. what's your point?" said the hamster. "Grrrr... I really don't have a point but.. what's your name?" said Lilly grinning evilly. "Why the heck do you need to know? When I don't even know yours!" said the hamster.

"Why do you want to know my name anyway?" questioned the hamster. "Well, I can't just call you 'no name' now, can I?" said Lilly. "No, I guess not.." said the hamster annoyed. "Oh, please tell me your name. Pleeeese!" said Lilly with her paws together. "Hmm.. you know being called 'no name' might not be a bad idea..." said the hamster. "Alright... 'no name', if that is what you wish." giggled Lilly. "I was just joking! Of course I don't want to be called that!" said the hamster. "Oooh... oops. Then please tell me your name! I must know it! I'll tell you my name if you tell me yours!" pleaded Lilly. "Let me think... hmm... how about, NO!" shouted the hamster. "But why NOT! All I want to know is your name, is that so HARD to ANSWER?!" shouted Lilly. "Why would a rotten hamster like you want to know me anyway! I'm no one special.." said the hamster. "HEY! I'm not rotten!" shouted Lilly. She raced up to him and pinned him to ground on his back. "If that's the way you want it then I'm not getting off of you until you TELL ME!" shouted Lilly. He looked surprised for a while but then admitted defeat. "Alright.. I'll tell you... it's Mike." said the hamster. "Ooh! I'm Lilly!" said Lilly with a smile.

"See, that wasn't so hard." said Lilly smiling while sitting beside Mike on the grass. "Shut up..." said Mike with his arms crossed while not sitting too close to Lilly. "And now your... my friend! Isn't that great?!" said Lilly hugging Mike. "Gah.. would you please.. let go off me.. I just.. can't stand.. hugs.." said Mike being hugged by Lilly too tightly. "Oh sorry.." said Lilly letting go of him. "Why can't you stand hugs? Everybody should like hugs!" said Lilly with a smile while Mike gasped for air. "Everybody.. except me!" said Mike angry. "You didn't even answer my question!" said Lilly ignoring what he said. "I just don't.. alright..? I always did but.. ever since.. I became.." said Mike. "Became what?" said Lilly cutting off what Mike was going to say. "Hmph, can't now.. since you cut me off.." said Mike grinning. "Uhh.. so what! Even though you got cut off from what you where going to say, you should still say it!" said Lilly angry. "Grrr.. I don't have to cause.. it's none of your business!! Besides, it's very personal and should never be reveled!" said Mike angry. "Geez.. you don't have to mad just because I was curious on what you where gonna say!" said Lilly angry. "Sorry.." said Mike sighing. "Huh? Oh, it's okay." said Lilly smiling a little. "Huh?" said Mike looking at the sky. "Ack!! Uhh.. sorry, Lilly but.. I have to.. uhh.. go! Right now!" said Mike nervously, as he quickly stood up. "Huh? But why?! Will you be back?!" said Lilly sadly. "Uhh.. y-yeah! But not until tomorrow morning!" said Mike running into the forest. "See ya, Mike!" said Lilly waving. "Hmm.. I wonder why he had to go so soon?" said Lilly watching the sunset. "Could it be..?" said Lilly.

Chapter 2: The Hunter

"I wonder what's taking him so long?" wondered Lilly while sitting on the side of her porch. "I'm leaving for school, Lilly." said Skyler looking at Lilly. "Alright, bro." said Lilly. He looked at his sister again. "It looks like your waiting for someone. Who is it?" said Skyler wondering who Lilly was waiting for. "Just someone I met yesterday. Don't really know why I'm waiting for him since he's such a jerk but even though I think he's one, I feel like he has a different side.. like he's hiding it.." said Lilly. "Oh.. well I better start heading off to school now. See ya when I get home!" said Skyler running to the bus stop. "Alright, see ya!" said Lilly. "I see that you.. where waiting.. for me." said Mike painting while running to Lilly. "What took you so long?!" said Lilly angry. "I had to run all the way down the hill, that's why!" said Mike angry. "Hm? A hill?" said Lilly. "Are you stupid or something?! Of course I said a hill!" said Mike still angry. "Someone is peed off this morning.." said Lilly. "Meh.. I guess so.." said Mike sitting down on the grass. "Um? Forget about that! Why don't we go inside me and my bro's house? We could hang out there!" said Lilly smiling. "In.. side..? Geez.. I haven't been inside anyone's house for years.. I've always been outside.. in forests." said Mike with a sigh. "You haven't been inside a house for years?!" said Lilly. Mike lowered his head in shame. "Hey.. don't worry about it! It isn't that shameful to always be outside. In fact it's kinda cool!" said Lilly smiling again.

"R-really..? But.. you don't know how different I am.." said Mike sadly. "Of course everyone is different, Mike.. That's just what makes you special!" said Lilly trying to cheer Mike up. "I know everyone's different but..." said Mike at a lost of words. "How about we go for a walk in the forest instead? I don't want you to feel uncomfortable inside the house.." said Lilly blushing. "You would change your opinion for... me..?" said Mike starting to blush. "Yeah.." nodded Lilly still blushing. Mike smiles and slowly hands his paw to her. "Huh?! Your.. your.. handing your paw out to me which means... (Wow! He really wants us to hold paws together?! This has to be a dream!)" said Lilly blushing a lot. "Uhh.. maybe this is too soon.. haha.." said Mike blushing while putting his paw back to his side. "Uhh.. yeah, your right.. (Dang!)" said Lilly. In the forest walking together: "The way that you ended your sentence like that makes me feel like you really wanted to hold my paw, eh?" said Mike grinning. "No, I didn't! You where the one who wanted to hold my paw since you made the move." said Lilly giggling. "Alright, maybe I did but hey, it felt like it was too early to since we're not really close. Wait a minute.. weren't not even close at all.." said Mike giggling. "What?! But.." said Lilly. A gunshot is heard. "Wha?! A gunshot?!" said Lilly with a gasp. "Lilly, I must check this out! Stay here!" said Mike starting to run on all fours towards the sound without waiting for an answer. "Alright.." said Lilly with a confused look.

Mike ran to the sound and stopped at the top of a cliff seeing a hamster with a gun. "Soo.." said Mike jumping down from the cliff. "Your the one who's hunting down my prey!" said Mike landing on all fours while growling. "Your 'prey'? First of all I can hunt anything down if I want to! Second of all, what kind of hamster calls animals 'prey' it sounds more like wild animal talk to me.. That isn't natural for a hamster, that is if you are one!" said the hunter aiming his gun towards Mike. Lilly couldn't wait for him any longer, she had to go and find him and eventually did. "Why is that hamster aiming his gun at Mike?!" said Lilly hiding behind a near by bush. "Well.. uhh.. I.." started Mike. "Don't you dare hurt him!" said Lilly to the hunter while running in front of Mike. "What are you doing here?!" said Mike quietly getting back on two feet. "I'm saving you, of course." said Lilly smiling at him. Mike smiled slightly at her. "You better get away from him if you know what's best for you! He's not a normal hamster, lady! He's the half of a wild animal.." said the hunter. "What?! Half wild animal?!" said Lilly looking at Mike, worried.

Chapter 3: The Sorrow of a Wolf

Lilly looked at Mike as she stepped a few inches away from him. "I-is this true, Mike..?" said Lilly nervously. Mike stepped slowly away from Lilly with tears in his eyes. He stood there for a few minutes and quickly ran away into the deep part of the forest. "Mike...!" said Lilly with tears in her eyes. She picked up a stick and looked angry at the hunter. "You... you where the one that made me think that Mike was some half wild animal and made him run away from me!! You stupid, stupid, stupid hunter!!" said Lilly, angry while hitting the hunter on the head with the stick. "Oww, oww, oww, ouch! Quit it!! I only said that since he wasn't acting normal! And for your own good!" said the hunter covering his head from all of the hits. "So what! It doesn't mean that you just had to burst it all out!! Besides, I can look out for myself and I don't need any help from you, you stupid hunter!" said Lilly still angry. "Fine.. fine.. but it's your own dang fault if you get bitten by him!" said the hunter walking away. "Fine! Who needs you!" said Lilly sticking her tongue at him. "Good.. he's gone.. but now I'm all alone.. without Mike.." said Lilly starting to cry. "Sniff.. guess I should be heading home.. without saying good bye to him..." said Lilly beginning to walk slowly towards her home. Lilly soon came to her house, slowly went inside and up the stairs. "Hey Lilly! What's wrong?" said Skyler. "Nothing bro.. just leave me alone.." said Lilly slowly. She went inside her room, shut the door and layed on her bed faced down, crying.

Lilly soon cried herself to sleep and woke up on her side with the sound of a wolf howling. "I thought wolves where extinct? Weird.. I probably should get back to sleep.." said Lilly sitting up in bed and laying back down. "Lilly! Lilly!!" said Skyler knocking on her bedroom door. "Ugh..." said Lilly not wanting to get up. "I'm coming!" she said getting up as she walked towards the door. "What is it Skyler..?" said Lilly opening the door. "D-did you hear that howling..? Well, it woke me up and it was so creepy that I got.. scared.." said Skyler shivering. "Yeah and it woke me up too... it's so weird that there's a wolf still alive.. and that we didn't hear it before until tonight." said Lilly thinking. "Please save me, Lilly! I don't want to be eaten!" said Skyler still shivering while hugging Lilly. "When where you scared of wolves?" said Lilly. "T-tonight.. their howls are so creepy!" said Skyler hugging Lilly tighter. Another wolf howl is heard. "Mommy!! Save me!!" said Skyler closing his eyes as he hugged her tighter. "Shhh, it's alright Skyler. I'll see why there's a wolf out there." said Lilly hugging him and then slowly walking out of the room. "Oh.. alright! Bye!" said Skyler smiling and waving to her. Another howl is head. "Wa.. wait!! Don't leave me here alone! Let me come with you!" said Skyler hugging her tightly. "Alright.. just no more tight hugs.. your tight hugs are too tight..." said Lilly.

The two walked into the forest. Deeper and deeper. The wolf howls now sounding very close as if they where beside the creature. That's when Skyler chickened out and stayed behind. "I-I-I'm gonna.. s-stay behind.." said Skyler in a scared tone. "Alright, I'm come back for you until I see this wolf for myself. (Pff.. chicken.)" said Lilly. Alone, Lilly walked up the hill that led to an open field with no trees only the ones surrounding it into the shape of a circle, where the full moon was in a close view. And there Lilly saw the wolf, standing in a about to run position with it's ears folded to it's head, about to run into the forest. "So, there really is a wolf still living.." said Lilly. "Wonder if there's more of them.." said Lilly looking left and right. While Lilly turned her head to see if there where anymore wolves near by. The wolf made a run for it into the forest. "W-wait! Don't go.." said Lilly sadly, as she tried to catch up to it. She stopped running and lowered her head down while walking towards where her brother was. "What happened?! Was there really a wolf up there..?!" said Skyler wondering what happened. Lilly looked up at him. "Yeah.. there was but it ran away. There wasn't anymore wolves around so I think this might be the only one still existing.. poor thing.. must be lonesome being by itself.." said Lilly feeling bad for the wolf. "Oh.. that sucks.." said Skyler. "Guess we should go home and get back to sleep.." said Lilly as she yawned. "Yeah.." said Skyler yawning. Both of them went back home and went to bed.

Chapter 4: Missing Mike

The next morning, Lilly woke up and ran out of the house, hoping that Mike would return to her like he did before. She sat down on the side of the porch and waited. But there was no sign of him anywhere. About half an hour went by. She lowered her head and her eyes started to tear up with sadness. "Why isn't Mike here..? He came to see me before.. and now it's twelve in the afternoon and he still isn't here.." said Lilly with a sigh. Little did Lilly knew that Mike was near by in the forest next to the house. "Man.. what am I gonna do? Should I just stay away from her or not..? She probably knows my secret about now.. since she saw the other half of me.." said Mike with a sigh. Soon he got an idea. "But maybe, just maybe she didn't know it was me! I have a good feeling that she doesn't know my secret yet!" said Mike happily. "And since this is a good feeling about not knowing my secret (at least to me) I can go see her without any worries! But... I got to make sure she knows it wasn't me so I can be on the good side of keeping my secret a secret!" said Mike with a smile.

So, Mike walked out of the forest. Lilly didn't see him since she is covering her eyes with her paws while she's crying. He walked up to her and touched her shoulder with his paw. "I see you really missed me.. huh?" said Mike with a smile. Lilly looked up at him, wiping the tears from her face. "Ahhhh!! Mike!!" said Lilly beginning to hug him. "I missed you so much!! Where were you yesterday?! And.. why did you run away when that hunter was talking about you being half of a wild animal?" said Lilly hugging him tight. "Alright.. first of all.. let go of me! You know that I don't like HUGS!!" said Mike in a harsh tone while trying to wiggle his way out of Lilly's hug. "Sorry.. haha.." said Lilly letting go of him. Mike took a deep breath. "Well.. *gulp* I.. I-I-I dunno why I ran off but... I just felt so scared inside.. and I-I was gone.. y-yesterday since I was still so.. scared to see you cause.. well.. *gulp* I have this personal secret of mine... but I just can't tell anyone about it.. it's just too unnatural for a hamster..." said Mike shaking. "Ohh.. so is it true that your.. *gulp* half wild animal..?" said Lilly shivering. "Well.. I just can't answer that question yet.." said Mike still shaking. "Oh.. it's alright." said Lilly smiling at him while patting his back with her paw. He looked at her and smiled back at her. "Thanks.. I'm just really glad that you didn't knock the secret out of me.. when I first looked at you I thought you where going to be that type of hamster.. but... your surprisingly not." said Mike with a smile.

He felt like hugging her but was too scared about it and too shaky from her almost knowing his secret. He took another deep breath and looked at her and remembered something that he was gonna tell her. "Hey.. Lilly... did you.. uhh.. ehh.." said Mike at a lost of words. "Did I.. what?" said Lilly. He looked at her. "Uhh.. n-nothing.."said Mike."Okay.. (Wonder what he was gonna say?)" said Lilly. "(If I tell her 'did you see a wolf last night?' she's gonna be expecting something that I don't want her to expect... so that question isn't gonna work out.. how about this then..)" thought Mike. "D-did you hear the howling of a wolf last night?" questioned Mike. "Yeah.. I did! It woke up me and my brother, Skyler. We went to see if there was really a wolf on the hill but he chickened out.. he chickens out a lot when things like this happen. So, I went up to see it by myself and it there was a wolf on that hill.. it was all alone.. poor thing.. it stayed there for a while but it soon ran away... couldn't see it that good since it was dark. The moonlight was there but I still couldn't see it good.." said Lilly feeling sad for the wolf. "Ohh.. so.. you couldn't see any.. markings on it?" questioned Mike. Lilly shook her head no. "Oh, that's great! I mean.. I see.. heh heh.." said Mike sweating up. She looked at him oddly but then giggled. "I can tell that your hiding something.. but not sure what it could be. It doesn't matter, I don't really have to know the secret anyway." said Lilly smiling. Mike smiled at her. Who knew there was a hamster out there who didn't have to know his secret.

Chapter 5: Lilly's Home

"So, what would you want to do? I could show you around inside the house. If you like to, that is." said Lilly smiling. "Sure! But not for too long." said Mike. Before when Lilly asked this question Mike didn't tell her but now she really wants to know. "Why not? Oh, I remember you always leave at sunset.. for some.. odd.. reason.. Why is that?" said Lilly. "Umm.. well... would you stop asking questions!" said Mike. "I didn't ask you a lot of questions.. only a few. So, what's the reason?" said Lilly. She didn't have to know Mike's secret but she sure wanted to know this question. "It's a secret, alright?!" said Mike. "I knew it.. but please tell me, what's the reason? I really want to know! It's been bugging me ever since you first left mysteriously out into the woods.. leaving me.. confused!" said Lilly angry. "What part of, 'it's a secret' don't you understand?!! Just drop the question, please!!" said Mike boiled up with anger. She gulped with fear from his loud voice. "S-s-.. sorry... I didn't know it was so personal..." said Lilly with tears in her eyes. "Your not gonna cry now.. are you? And aren't we going into your house or what?" said Mike wondering if she still wanted to show him around. "Maybe.. and no cause you made me sad..." said Lilly starting to cry. "Come on.. please don't cry.. it's just so sad to see you cry.... and I'm really sorry.. it's just that.. I have problems with controlling my anger..." said Mike lowering his head.

She wiped her tears from hearing his soft spoken words. "I see.. it's alright." said Lilly. Mike smiled at her words. "So, why don't we head on in, now." said Mike standing up and slowly taking his paw to her's and quickly taking it back to his side. "Huh? Where you just going to take my paw just now.. like that first time?" said Lilly curious. "Uhh... no, of course not. Why would I do that?! (Oh great, why did I have to do that again?)" said Mike. "Maybe because you like me?" said Lilly grinning. "NO! Why would I like a girl?" said Mike. Lilly had an angry look on her face while she crossed her arms. She was indeed very angry from hearing those words but she decided to move that thought away when Mike spoke up. "Can we go on in already before I change my mind!" said Mike not feeling patient. "Alright!" said Lilly. They walked in to her house as Lilly opened the door for him. She showed him to her kitchen (where the front door is located) and was about to go inside but Mike was too nervous to step in so Lilly pushed him inside. "Come on.." said Lilly pushing Mike. He didn't say anything about this but he sure didn't like it as he growled, it was strange to hear him growling like a dog but she moved the thought aside.

"Phew.. your hard to push.. Anyway, this is my home! Well, our home. Me and my brother's." said Lilly. "What about your parents?" questioned Mike. "Oh, my Dad's in the war.. and I'm not sure what about to my Mom.. she somehow disappeared.." said Lilly in a depressed tone. "Oh.. that's terrible.." said Mike remembering a little bit about his past; an adult female hamster opens the door with a little girl behind her. The adult throws home supplies at the screen. "Mike.. Mike..? Hello? Earth to Mike." said Lilly waving her paw in front of his eyes. "Uh? What?! Oh.. sorry, I was just remembering something.." said Mike. They walked out of the kitchen and into the living room. "Oh.. well this is the living room and this is my little brother, Skyler." said Lilly pointing to her brother playing a video game in front of the tv. "Hey there.." said Mike walking up to him. "Oh! So, you must be the hamster Lilly was waiting for!" said Skyler smiling at him while he pushed a button on his controller which paused the game. "Oh, I guess.. I am." said Mike blushing. "You were.. waiting for me?" said Mike still blushing while turning to face Lilly beside him. "Well.. uhh.. y-yeah! Every morning!" said Lilly blushing while smiling. He smiled at her. "So, you wanna see my room?" said Lilly. "Sure!" said Mike.

They both went upstairs to Lilly's bedroom while Skyler unpaused his game and continued playing. She showed Mike around her room, she had a big mirror on a stand with perfumes and ribbons with a matching stool and her nice comfy bed and a closet. Before Mike knew it, the sun was behind the trees, it was almost night time. He had a crazy idea and closed Lilly's bedroom curtains."Uhh.. Mike? What did you that for..?" said Lilly sitting on her bed. "Uhh.. n-nothing.. n-no reason.." said Mike looking towards Lilly with a sweat drop up. Then something unbelievable happened..

Chapter 6: The Secret is Broken

Lilly was in complete shock, she sat still as a rock on her bed, she couldn't believe what was happening to him. A bright light covered Mike and soon the light began to dim until a figure shape showed out of the light. Lilly gasped at the figure as her mouth hanged. The figure that stood where Mike once was, is a wolf, looking with one eye at her with his face turned to the side just like the rest of him. They both stared surprisingly at one another for a while and then the wolf zoomed out of her bedroom (her door is opened) and out into the small hallway, crashing through the window. The glass shattered and thrown everywhere, especially near the window. Lilly ran to the wolf but she was at a dead end with the shattered glass from the window in front of her. She stood there, still in shock, wondering what just happened. Skyler ran upstairs into the hallway where Lilly stood and was about to step on the glass until he spotted it. "Ahh! Woah, what happened here?!" said Skyler shocked. He looked up at Lilly, she stood there stiff with her eyes looking outside of the broken window. He walked up to his big sister slowly, trying not to step on the glass. "Lilly? Are you.. okay?" said Skyler tugging on her arm. She finally awoken from being deep in thought. "Yeah..?" questioned Lilly. "Are you okay and what happened?" questioned Skyler once more. "Something you wouldn't believe..." said Lilly slowly, she couldn't say anything more. "What is it?!" said Skyler, eagerly wanting to know the answer. "S-something.. happened to Mike... he was with me but now in his place is a wolf... I think it's the same one that I saw that night... now I know why he always runs off when the sun is setting.. I think he turns into a wolf at night..." said Lilly in a stiff tone.

The wolf ran as fast as he could, away from the house, deep into the forest, feeling frightened as his ears flattened on his head, with his long fluffy tail tucked between his back legs; to show that he was indeed frightened. As he knew that Lilly, now knows his secret.

Lilly layed on her bed, thinking that the wolf she saw could be Mike but she wasn't certain that it was him all she could do now was to guess. That wolf had to have been the same one she saw that night. The same one that woke up her and her younger brother. The more she thought of Mike and that wolf, the more confused she got. Was Mike that wolf or not? She really wanted to know, she could go outside to the same spot that she found that howling wolf to see if it's there but she couldn't move, she was too scared to... and still shocked as the the wolf meet scene replayed in her head.

Soon the wolf found a clear lake as the full moon lit a part of it, the same part where the wolf walked over to and lowered it's head as it took a few licks. It stopped and lifted it's head and saw it's reflection in the water. It lowered it's ears down once more. Why did he have to become this way? He didn't want this! He never asked for something like this! He wanted to be a normal hamster, he didn't want to deal with being half wolf as well! Those thoughts ran through his mind, all he could do was think. He couldn't talk.. he could only bark and howl. He hated this side of him, he wished he could take this whole half wolf business back and redo that part in his life again on that one frightful night where it all began. He thought of that day when the wolf gave him this curse. Even if it wasn't a curse, he still thought of it like it's one. He wanted to be with Lilly still but he knew he couldn't approach her like this, his thoughts of her thinking about this scared him. He couldn't bare to see Lilly again, not even tomorrow, not even the next day! He would be too scared... and too nervous and if he ever saw her face again that he would run away, far away from her sight..

Chapter 7: The Search for Mike

It's been a few days since that night. Lilly waited outside for him on those few days, she sat on her porch every morning like she always has ever since she first waited for him. Even if she did know that he turns into a wolf at night, she still missed him.. a lot. Wondering where he is and especially, when will he show up. The sun was shinning brightly in the sky happily but her mood surely didn't match, it was gloomy and sad like a rainy day. Skyler came outside from the house with his backpack on, ready to ride the bus to go to school since the bus stop was down the rode to the left, not too far away. "It's no use to keep waiting for him, it seems to me like he's never gonna come.." said Skyler feeling sad for his sister. With Mike probably becoming a wolf at night, he wouldn't feel comfortable around him.. in fact he'd probably stay in his room until Mike left. Lilly sighed. "I guess your right.. I just miss him so much... that's why I kept waiting for him. It's been three days since we last saw each other.." she said. It was quite for a moment until Skyler broke the silence "Maybe you could.. uhh... I-I don't know.. maybe.... look for him instead of waiting.." said Skyler nervously.

She paused for a minute and then excitedly said; "Yes! Yes! That's just what I'm going to do! I'll even look for him, every where in that forest if I have to!" said Lilly quickly standing up. "Your the greatest brother ever! For some reason, I never even thought that.. oh, well.. thank you, thank you!" said Lilly hugging her brother tightly. "Y-your w-welcome... I better get going, don't wanna miss the bus." said Skyler breaking the hug and running for the bus stop. Lilly ran as quick as a flash into the forest, looking everywhere for her beloved Mike. She kept looking, she wasn't gonna give up on finding him. She soon called out his name, again and again but he still didn't answer. It's been hours since she started looking for him. What if she never finds him.. then she'll be alone with her brother and she didn't want that. Her life brightened up whenever they got to be friendly with each other. Even if they did have a bad start. The sun was starting to set. "Maybe I should go.. it's starting to get late and soon it's gonna be dark.. I don't wanna be here when it's dark!" said Lilly.

She walked and walked trying to find an exit to her home. It seemed like she was lost.. the sun set beneath the far away hills. The light in the forest was getting dim. Lilly started to get scared and nervous.. how is she going find a way out of here? She walked around the forest some more. "I've just got to find a way out of here! If it gets dark, this lovely forest will look like a haunted one instead!" said Lilly walking around, trying to find an exit. She walked and walked and walked some more then she suddenly saw a bright light, it was the same exact light she saw when Mike turned into a wolf! She ran over to the light, happily knowing it was him after all those days! The bright light soon vanished and a wolf appeared. "Mike! Mike!" she said running over to give him a great big hug. "I'm so glad I found you! I missed you so badly! And..." said Lilly giving him that big hug but stopped. She looked up at him, this wolf's fur markings where different.. much different...

Chapter 8: A Fearful Approach

This wolf was definitely not Mike, he had dark grey fur from his head to the bottom of his nose to the end of his tail and dark grey patches on his feet. The rest of him was a regular grey. He wasn't too happy to expect a surprise visit with a mad look on his face, who would. "Umm... h-hi. I'm looking for a brown wolf with dark brown markings.. have you seen him..?" shivered Lilly. The wolf turned his head over to a near by hill. "(Haha.. should have known he'd be up there..)" thought Lilly. "Uhh... t-thanks!" said Lilly as she soon rushed up to the hill. The wolf just snorted. "(That is the same hill that day I first saw him in wolf forum, even though I didn't know it was him.. at least I think that was him. It could have been that other wolf. Funny.. first Mike's one and now there's another one..)" thought Lilly as she ran up the hill. "Mike?! Mike! Are you hear?!" shouted Lilly while making it to the top.

She looked around the open field and saw a wolf sitting with his back turned looking at the crescent moon. She walked over to it slowly "Mike, is that you?". The wolf perked it's ears and turned it's head around with a sad look. "It is you!" She ran with joy and happy tears in her eyes as she finally found him! Mike ran with fear towards the right into the forest, trying to hid himself. Lilly stopped in her tracks as she noticed this unusual behavior from him. It was almost like the same time when the hunter told her that Mike was half of a wild animal. It was like he was running in fear. "(That has to be it!)" thought Lilly. She walked slowly to where he ran, trying not to frighten him more but she couldn't see him. "Your probably scared because I saw you turning into a wolf that night... I guess this is what you are at night.. I didn't mean to frighten you.. it's just I was waiting for you those past three days but... you never showed up. So, I came looking for you cause I felt sad and alone without you... P-please come out.." said Lilly as her eyes formed tears. She stood there waiting for him, hoping he would come out but he didn't. "I-I... guess I'll just g-go then.... if you ever want to come down your always welcomed to.." said Lilly with tears in her eyes. She slowly walked away from him in sorrow wishing she could spend some more time with him again. Mike thought of this as he sat in the dark woods. His mind wanted to see her but his body wouldn't budge, for he was different and probably always will be. Tears came down from his eyes dropping onto his wolf fur. He didn't know what to do.

He forced himself to run out of the forest to Lilly but kept inches away from her for he was still frightened. She heard his foot steps and turned towards him, happily surprised. Lilly wanted to run up to him and give him a big hug but she knew it would end up with Mike running away from her in fear again. "I'm so glad you came out. You don't know how much I missed you.." Lilly spoke in a soft tone. Mike sat down and listened. He lowered his head in shame, not just because he was afraid of her but also since his secret is revealed to her. "Don't be sad.. it's not your fault your a wolf. And even if I don't know why your one in the first place.. it's most likely not your fault that your afraid of me either. If you could speak I would know but I'd probably be hearing howls and barks.. " said Lilly with a small giggle. She looked up at the bright crescent moon. "Why don't we sit over there. We can watch the moon together." she said with a smile. She walked closer to the moon with Mike trailing slowly behind. Lilly takes a seat in-front of the crescent moon with Mike sitting across, inches away. "You know, I've been looking for you almost the whole day.. haha. I even got lost in this forest and met up with a strange wolf that I thought was you since I saw that same bright light when you transformed." she said. He looked towards her while she spoke, he had a slight smile on his face. Lilly seemed to really care about him. Even if she got lost, she still looked for him. "*yawn* Boy, I'm getting tired.. so tired that I don't even feel like walking home... You probably wouldn't want me to leave anyway." she sad sleepy as she smiled at him and layed her head down. She soon fell fast asleep with Mike laying down and falling asleep after her.

Chapter 9: Secrets Revealed

The two slept peacefully in the morning sun until... "WHAT?! It's morning ALREADY?!" shouted a startled Lilly. "I can't believe I over slept! I gotta get him up right away!" As she quickly stood up and ran down the hill. She didn't even realize that Mike changed back into a hamster in a wolf-like laying position with his paws and feet stretched out. He woke up with sleepy eyes as he heard her shouts wondering why she was so loud.

Lilly ran up to the stairs and darted for the front door and ran to the kitchen clock looking up at the time. "What?! It's 11:42am already?! Great.. now it's too late..." said Lilly sitting on the floor sadly. Mike slowly opened the front door looking at Lilly. "Are you alright..?" he asked. She stood up and turned around to face him, she was so worried that she forgot all about him. "No.. I'm not alright. Sigh.. I thought I was able to wake up my brother at 8:30am for school since the bus comes at 9 but now it's too laaaate. I'm such a bad sister... I leave him all alone while we hang out together and now... I forgot to wake him up for school. I told Dad I would wake him up for school every day but I missed todaaay.." said Lilly as she started to sob. Mike giggled a little bit at this. "Just because you missed waking him up for school don't mean you should cry about it. Besides it's just this one time, right?" he said. She stopped sobbing. "Yeah.. but I also keep leaving him alooone just because I've been taking care of him more since Dad has been gone for five months already and then you came and I started leaving hiiiim.." said Lilly sobbing again. "Sigh.. Oh, Lilly.." He tried to walk up to her but he felt so nervous that he couldn't leave his spot which she saw this. "Is there something wrong..?" she asked. "N-no... nothings wrong.." said Mike startled. "Are you sure?" she asked again while walking up to him. This made Mike even more nervous! So nervous that he slowly walked out the door and ran on all fours outside to the front yard.
