Yo. My name is Akela. I have white hair and light blue eyes. I also have pale skin and I would say I'm average weight. I am medium built. Anyway enough about my beautiful looks. I want to talk to you about my upbringing. As far as I can remember I was raised by wolves. My mom is a beautiful white wolf and my dad looks more like a husky type with a blue grey color. I had a few other siblings brothers and sisters. I want to tell you how I came to be writing to you now. I hope you enjoy.

As far as I can remember. I have lived with wolves. I still don't know what happened to my birth parent. I was playing having a good time then my father and mother called for me. I ran over to them and hugged them. "What is it mom? Did I do something wrong?" Mom and dad looked at me and said, "No you did nothing wrong." Said father and mother in tears. "follow us. We need to have a meeting with the others." I was 8 years old I think at the time. I followed them to the den with the others.

"Ok lets begin our meeting." Said the elder. "What's going on?" I said worriedly. "Shh. Its ok Akela." Then the elder spoke. "Now lets get down to why we are here. In a year from now or sooner I think its time Akela joined her kind." "What?" I said worriedly. "All of us here had a fun time with you Akela. None of us had a problem with you. We all love you like our own. We need you to have a life of your own someday. You will be welcome here anytime to come back to visit. We just think its right for you to go back to the humans. It will be safer." "NO! I will miss you all." I said crying. "Its decided but we will miss you too. We have someone who will be staying with you though. He is willing to stay with you in the human world. He came to us as an orphan. He should be the same age as you." "Loki. Come on out." Loki came out and he was just a beautiful as dad was. He had a scar on his right eye from something. His coat was a light grey with a tad bit of a tan color mixed in. He was actually an Akita only half wolf. He had the look of a husky with the colors I told you about. He had one blue eye the other golden. "Sir. If I may. I would like to leave sooner. It will hurt a lot less if I leave sooner than later. I would like to leave in a month from now." "Accepted. Before you leave stop by here." "Yes sir. Thankyou." "Loki. Follow her." "Yes sir." So Loki followed me back home.

I curled up in my corner under a blanket. One of my sisters whose name was Azula came to see if I was ok. "Are you ok Akela?" "Oh sister. Come here." I gave her a hug and said, "I'm going to the human village. They gave me a year before I had to leave but I agreed to leave sooner. I leave in a month from now. Don't tell anyone when the time comes I want to tell them ok?" "Oh sister. We both knew this day would come. I just wish I was the one going." "I know. Thanks. They chose Loki to come with me." "Oh Loki? Hmm. I wonder why him?" "You know him?" "I know about him. He came as an orphan. He was just a pup. I think he and you are the same age. He has had that scar on his face since he was found." "Oh then maybe it was an animal attack and someone saved him." "Yeah that's what I was thinking too. OH and there is a rumor that Loki can turn human." "What? I thought that was a myth?" "Well so did I. There gave been times when an 8 year old boy has been spotted in the forrest. Then when morning comes he isn't there anymore." "Huh its usually the other way around. They are usually human and turn into wolves themselves." "I know right. That's what I was thinking. Maybe once you get to know Loki you can talk to him about it more." "I hope so. I'm glad I can come back anytime. I hope I live somewhere close by to visit you guys any time." "Yeah all we can do is hope." "Ok I've made my decision. Tomorrow I'm going to tell everyone I am leaving in a month to the human world." "I guess the sooner the better huh? Give them time to process it." "Y-yeah. Sure."

The next day I woke up not feeling so well. 'I told everyone I was going to announce it. Even if I don't fell good I have to get up.' I said to myself. So I pushed myself and mom saw how bad I looked. "Oh Akela. Are you feeling ok?" "No mom. I think I might be sick. I think I will be ok in a day or 2. I told Azula I would tell everyone today what my plan was." "Ok well lets wait until after breakfast. You should get something in that tummy of yours." "I'll try. Thanks mom." I followed everyone to the eating den. "Hello everyone. After breakfast I have something to tell you all. Its important." "Azula told us it was important." said my little brother Luki. So we ate our breakfast and everyone waited until I was ready to talk. "First of all is everyone here?" "Yes we are all here." Said dad. "OK well first of all as you can tell I am not feeling so well. The reason is I cried myself to sleep. I will be ok in a day or 2. The reason why is the elders told me it was time I went to the human world. I have to go back to the humans." Everyone was whispering. "Be quiet kids she's not done." Said dad. "Thanks dad. They gave me a year to go back. I decided to leave earlier so its less painful. I will be leaving in a month. Loki will be coming with me. This is the important news I wanted to tell you. Thank you all. Mom dad I'm going for a walk I need some fresh air." "Your sick you should rest." Said mom. "Let her go dear. She needs to clear her head." "Thanks dad."

One of the scary parts of my story is coming up. "While I was on my walk, I saw a human man. I tried to walk the other way but he said "Hey little girl. Where did you come from?" I looked at him and ran because I was afraid. I heard him running after me. When I got home I told mom and dad what was going on. Dad went out and saw the human. I heard the man and ran out to protect dad. "No! Please No. He's my dad. This is my family." "You can talk human?" "Of course I can. Why wouldn't I? I'm a human aren't I?" Then the man put down his gun he had pointed at my dad. "My name is Akela. This is my father. The one next to me is Loki. I would have to leave in a month anyway to join the humans. The elders agreed. I would be taking Loki with me. So sir. Could you please not hurt us." "Oh don't worry I won't hurt you or your family don't worry. I was just worried you were hurt by them." "Oh that's fair enough. Its ok mom." "Kids stay in the den ok?" "Ok mom." "OH my bad my name is Leo. I am a single man that lives on my own. I was actually camping here for some dear meat to cook at home. Then you showed up." "Sir. Would you be willing to take me in? When I can?" "I'll tell you what. I will bring you with me. You can stay with me but I will have to have a girl I know be at the house with you to help me ok? She is 18 years old. I myself and 21. The woman's name will be Aqua. Short for Aquarius." "Like the Zodiac." "Yeah like that. Tell me girl. Akela. How do you know so much if you were raisied by wolves?

"I don't really know. In my dreams its like I'm learning more and more and don't know why? Heck I don't know what happened to my birth parents. I have been living here since I was a baby." "Oh I see. How old are you Akela?" "I am 8 years old." "You have got to be kidding me." "I'm sorry. Did I say something wrong?" "No you just look like someone I knew is all. "Ok I will camp here for a month then you can follow me back home." "Is it far from here Leo?" "No its actually walking distance from here." "Here that mom and dad. I can come visit you more now." "Yes we heard." "Are you feeling ok Akela?" I was feeling a little lightheaded and couldn't hear what they were saying and everything blacked out.

A little while later she woke up. "Hmm. Where am I? Am I still at home?" I looked around and I was still home but I was outside the house. There was a rag on my head. I tried to sit up but my head hurt. "Ow." "Oh don't get up yet. You have a fever. You might have a headache." "Yeah sorry. Last night after I found out I had to leave I cried myself to sleep." "Oh I see that's what happened." "You know Akela. That white wolf. Your mother. She looked like a wolf I knew long ago. She doesn't look like she changed much." "Really? Do you remember her name?" "I will never forget her name she was a childhood friend her name was Luna." "Um are you sure? That's weird." "Yes I am really sure. Did she by any chance turn human as well?" "Yeah she did why?" "Luna is mom's name." "No way. Are you serious?" "Yes but wait. Let me talk to mom first. Ok? Give me until I am better." "Yes of course I will wait. I will wait as long as possible." I went back to sleep by the time I woke up again it was morning. I was feeling a little better so I sat up and leaned against the tree. I took a deep breath and let it out. Leo came by to see how I was. "How are you feeling Akela?" "Much better thank you. I'm going to go in the den and see my siblings. I will talk to mom too and find you." "Ok then. I'm glad your better. See you later."

I went back inside and my siblings all doggy piled on me. "Hehe. OK. Ok. I missed you all too. Hello mom. Dad. Mom there is something I need to talk about alone with you. Is that ok?" "Yes dear. Lets go in my room." So I walked with mom to her room.

"I take it that its about the man you met right?" "How did you know?" "I just had a feeling. So what do you want to know?" "He said that your name is Luna. You can transform to human as well. You were childhood friends. What happened mom? He also told me I looked like someone he knew. Something tells me that you are related to me by blood somehow." "(sigh) Ok its time I told you. Bring your father in." "Yes mom." So I got dad and he came in as well.

"Honey its time we told her the truth. She may be young and not understand but she is smart for her age." "OK Luna. Go ahead." Said dad. "Yes we are related by blood. I am your birthmother. I'm sorry you had to find out this way. As for your birthfather he was human. Full human. We were on our normal walks we always took in the forest. Then one day something attacked us. I couldn't find your father anywhere. You were still in my arms. The think just disappeared after that. After awhile when I did find your father he was at his last few breaths. He told me he wanted to call you Akela. That he loved you. He told me to help you to not go down the wrong path and to eventually have you go back home to the human world. He told me to keep you close and make sure nothing bad happened and that he loved us again. I told him I loved him too. He touched us both and smiled right before his last breath." I saw my mom crying like he meant the world to her. I went over to hug my mom. "Then how did you meet dad?" "Well honey do you want to tell the story?" "Haha sure. Well when I found your mother she was 18 years old. She was scared because I was a wolf. Then when she turned herself I was shocked. I myself thought it was a myth. I took her home with me. I saw you in her arms. I told her I would help protect you from any danger. Weither you are human or wolf. It doesn't matter. At first the Elders didn't agree but once they saw your mother they just had to agree. Then as time went on we got to know each other. She told me the same story about your father she told me." "I see. Mom what was my birth fathers name?" "His name was Orion." "I see. I think if someday I have a baby boy I want to name him after dad. I like that name. It reminds me of the stars somehow. I like them." "Haha. Cute. Oh dad I will have my sons middle name after you. Orion Onyx." "Aww thanks kiddo." "Hehe. I love you both." "We love you too." Said dad. "I wish you can turn dad. That way you and mom can come back to the human world. Together." "Its fine Akela. My family have been here for generations. If there was a way I could I wouldn't hesitate." I hugged them both again. "Oh wait. If mom is not full wolf what about the others? Will they turn human?" "Akela. We won't know unless they reach 10 years old. Like you will be in 2 years. Since Leo already knows about me it won't be a shock if you turn. I'm glad it was him that found you. As for the woman Aqua, she is a good woman. I trust her." "Hey mom. What if some of them can turn human? Will they have to leave too?" "You know. That would be up to the elders and the kids themselves. I would think they would be happy to move on and see what its like. If they don't like it I'm sure the elders would let them back. They just want what's best for kids." "Wait since this is true does that mean Loki really is like you?" "You want the truth about Loki Huh? Well I guess its fair since he will be staying with you. Yes he is like me. He can turn. Human. He is one of the few that could at a young age. He is actually your cousin. He was born a few months before you. Yes he is an orphan. His parents and sister were killed by hunters. We found out his father was one of them. So I took him in. The Elder thought it was best that one of the elders took him in and I agreed. I still had some pups to care for." "Mom you had it rough. I'm sorry." "Hmm. Its fine. Honey. It may have not been the best but I'm happy I have you. Your father and the other little ones. Are you sure you want to wait a month to leave?" "Well before I decided that. I told Leo I would talk to you. He wanted to talk to you alone for a little while before he went back home then I would talk when a good time to leave would be." "Oh ok then. Onyx. I need to talk to an old friend." "Yes I know." So mom and I went out to find Leo.

"Oh here he is. Mom have a good talk with Leo. Leo! Mom is here." "Oh! Oh thank you Akela. Sure I will see you later." "Yeah sure." So I let them talk about what ever they wanted and I headed back home.

A little while later mom came back and said, "Ok I'll take you too him so you two can talk ok?" "Yeah sure." SO I followed mom and she dropped me off and went back home too. "So Leo." "Oh you're here. You wanted to talk about leaving sooner?" "Yeah. Things are going to get crazy if I don't I just have that feeling. Anyway I was thinking about leaving next week on Saturday." "OK sounds good. Actually that's perfect. I will have some people over that day. You will meet my family and friends." "OK. Then. I will see you." "Wait hang on. Let me walk you." "Ok thanks." So he walked me home. "Ok I will see you in a week ok?" "Yeah."
