Chapter 1 - Chapter 1 - The day of the accident

I was quite young, my pack told me I can never be a hunter after that accident on that day. I was 6 years old when I got an mentor because I was finally on that age to be an apprentice. I was young and it was my dream to be an huntress in the pack but… That dreams will soon come an end to it all.One month later, I can remember that day like it's was yesterday… I remember my mentor took me at our daily training in the woods, she was training me some basic hunting positions, she was one of the greatest fighters in the pack shes has brown fur and lights spots and her gaze can make the enemies from the other pack be in great fear of her dark hazel eyes she was a great mentor but even if she's strict she really care for me and help me to do my best, we we're in the middle of the forest surrounded by trees and there's a nearby river so it's quite peaceful where we are, it's the great place to train and be away from the pack members. Me and my mentor we're training and she learn me to be fast on my paws. I was exhausted but I was on high spirits because I want to be the greatest huntress ever seen in my pack. Yes I'm quite aware it's every young pups dream to be the greatest but it's really what I want in life to be the greatest huntress, but soon I'll won't accomplish that dream of mine, because that day was the day all my dreams fall apart forever… we were exhausted so we lay down on the soft grass so we can take a break she huffed and catching her breathe she look at me with fire in her eyes from the training from earlier, "You did amazing job young one just for few more moons you can be the greatest, but there are more that will come so it's not so easy to complete", she looks at me with that strict but brave mentor face, and it just made me more fire up I stand up and show her my great battle pose, "YEAH! but when I'm finished I'll be the greatest huntress ever seen in the pack!! No other wolves would dare to challenge me! ", I jump around like any other pup would if their fire up and full spirits, my mentor left a soft chuckle while she knows me well to act this way and she's just happy to see me like this with full hopes and spirits to get my dreams come true. She looks up to the sky when a soft breeze hits our fur and it's chilly but it's amazing to feel it, when a leaf fell on my nose I literally claw the leaf and I was attacking the leaf while my mentor watch me in a calm way while she chuckled. She stand up and looks at me in a calm tone, " ok young one I'll go the nearby river for water, Ill be back for a moment just don't go nowhere and be careful when I'm gone", she walks away towards the nearby river while I promise my mentor to stay where I was while I was attacking the leaf, I was having my own time playing with the leaf, jumping, attacking, clawing you know the ect of a normal apprentice would do with a leaf.

For moments later I was too busy playing with the leaf, I was in a fun moment and waiting for my mentor to come back, till I heard some noises from the bushes and my ears perked up and for a the moment I was excited because I thought it was my mentor that come back from the river, but I my I was so young and stupid. I walk closer to the bush and called my mentor name "Ava? " I repeat her name but she doesn't respondse and then I sniff the air and in that moment I stop in my tracks, and I froze, I realized that the scent isn't my mentor and it was aggressive in the bushes and I back up slowly and carefully because I'm scared and worried that it is a enemy wolf from a different pack or worse. In that moment the animal jumped out and jumped on me,i realized that the animal isn't a wolf but a large fox and it's quite wild, REALLY WILD. the fox attack me I attack back and clawing the fox but the fox is faster and bigger then me so I was in great trouble and fear, I can feel my own heartbeat is going fast in my throat and my limps are shaking in fear. I was turning around and run away but when I run the fox bite my back leg and pulled me back, I was scared, in pain and whined, I was young and scared, I don't want to die!. The fox throw me up the air and bite my back limp leg hard, I thought I heard something break and I black out, it was blurry and I heard the fox biting but I heard howling and fighting, my mentor is back and she carried me back to the pack fast she was panicking, I thought I was just wounded by the fox attack but when I soon realized, that everything will be so much worse then a wound that will be permanent. The next day I woke up in the med den I was bandaged up when one of the young female med wolf who's called Coral she has wavy white fur with few traditional healing herbs and plants in her hair and tail while she has green eyes, she came in and saw me awake she was surprised and relieved, "Oh my stars, your awake are you alright, how are you feeling? ", she was like panicking but relieved I was awake but I was confused and said, "umm I'm fine miss I have to get going now" I smile brightly and tried standing up but I tried to walk but I fell down the med wolf quickly rushes towards me and picks me up and put me back in the bed she was deeply worried and scared when I look at my legs, my blood got cold and my heart sink. My back leg is completely gone… Then I realized the day when I was attacked by the fox, I remembered the sounds I heard and I cried and realized what happened, the med wolf lay next to me and comfort me and me it's ok. I cried so hard and the med stays by my side, few hours go by and I fall asleep, my mentor walk in and saw me and the med wolf and both of them was sad and worried for me my mentor spoke to the med wolf in a sad expression, " I… I Shouldn't left her alone and now here she is… With a missing limp and now the alpha is now deciding she cannot be a huntress anymore because of her injury and missing limp". My heart sink I was half asleep but I can hear them talk I was so sad, that my dream to be a huntress is not going to be true and all be crushed in pieces from one accident. I woke up and I got help by the med wolf to get me ready and support to walk around to get to the meeting because it's the full moon and every full moon is a meeting of all pack members should be attending to be there. I was scared but the med wolf stay by my side and help me walk, she sat by me while putting her tail around my tiny fragile body for safety and comfort. The pack was whispering but some wolves were actually so worried and sad of what happened to me. For minutes later the alpha and beta came out the alpha is a large black male wolf that have many battle scars many male apprentices want to be like him when they grow up, the alpha is amazing, brave and smart alpha the beta is a male Grey wolf that is smart, silent and skilled team planning in battle and hunting groups. They are standing on the top of the rock and looking down at the pack and everyone quickly silent when they saw the alpha and beta on the rock. The meeting was boring so far, just saying about the patrol group, hunting, seasons and ect. But for the moment before I fall asleep from boredom the alpha spoke about me and ask me to come forward, the med wolf help me to walk forward and I look up at the alpha in a worried expression, " Alizeh, for the apprentice that has been training with Ava one of the greatest mentors ever…. Sadly got injured by a attack by a wild fox and lost her back limp so.. Alizeh I'm so sorry for saying this but your no more a hunter apprentice and now be sending to be the med wolf newest apprentice… Im Sorry… ", the alpha looks down and his ears were down while he was really sad and hesitant to say it but he must, everyone was shocked, sad and guilty to see me losing my dream to be the greatest huntress ever but now be a med apprentice, I was silent but tears was falling from my face I was crying and whined, Coral sits next to me and hugs me while she also sad of hearing that and she knows very well that I want to be a huntress for a long time but now I won't be a huntress anymore because of my missing limp. Ava sat with the other mentors while she cried in silence while she was really guilty because I got injured even it's her responsibility to look after me and I was so sorry that she have to feel that because it's isn't her fault. But there's nothing to bring everything back to stop this situation to never happened but it never happened. The night i was in the med den while the med wolf hummed in a calm soothing tone to calm me down and clean me up, I never been giving affection because my mother left me when I was abandoned in the nursery and some mothers aka queens we called of they are mothers and having pups, the med wolf care for me and help me up in rough times and the time of my missing limp, the late night I was asleep in the med den resting and healing my injury while the med wolf was busy look at the herbs and medications on the shelves.

In the days, weeks and months and years goes by and I was a apprentice in the med den and going to be a the med wolf when I grow up to be a grown wolf I was now 21 years old and I'm the youngest wolf in the med den .And I was upset but I was to get over it and get used to my new life, while I have to get used to having only 3 limps and walking around when I watched my friends getting their first winning in a fight and hunting and I was stuck doing medical stuff and care for other injured wolves. And it's my new life and new job that what The head of the med wolves in the med den said to me, he was a elder wolf but he was strong and be a good med wolf and he was so goo that he safe many wolves life's and even safe lives from bad wounds and nearby death but every wolves survived and I respect him and I was so grateful from his words for motivation by him and I saw him has my grandfather and he doesn't mind it he has old long thick brown, black fur with some leaf's in his fur while having vines on his front paws. He was teaching me of every way of treating wounds, sickness, illnesses and dangerous food and some berries and gosh dang I'm not joking do not eat the red clean berries… He Called it the death berries and they aren't good for eating and I took a mental note in my brain to remember that for a long time. He was so to see me grow up and being there for wolves in the pack and help others out and I was called the survivor wolf because of my only 3 limps and losing one limp. And I was fine with that to see everyone healthy and happy. Many years goes by and I frown up being a kind, loving and caring female med wolf and many wolves in the pack was so happy to see me being strong and always be on my paws, and everything of my past life is behind and have to be in my new life being the med wolf and I'm fine with that even due I can't be a huntress anymore but I have to let it go and move on and it's is hard to let go but with few things and wolves to help me I got through it. I was almost my day to go to the stone of the ancestors when the elder med came in and walk towards me, " so Alizeh are you ready for tonight meeting of the ancestors? "he look at me with a caring look while he would know I was stressing for this meeting, I giggle softly and looked at him " Yes I'm ready for tonight elder I'm ready " I smiled to show my bravery, the elder smile and saw how brave I was and gives me a small head pat, " that's what I thought, I know your brave for this and if your ever scared just remember we are here for you ok Alizeh? " I giggle again and gently picked up the herbs and put them away, "yeah yeah, I know very well elder but I'll be fine I promise" I look at my elder and he nods his head and chuckles, " of course your a stubborn but I can't blame you, you still have the spirit in you and that's a great power to have" he was proud to be a great head med wolf and be motivated to me and others and I smile and I was so happy and see him like this and I was so happy, "ty elder now I have to get some more herbs now" I stand up while I jumps slightly while walking out of the den while my elder turn around and look at me, " alright Alizeh but be careful and be safe and don't be reckless out there" I chuckled when I smiled at I walk away and before I walked out and I turned around and look at him, "I promise Ill be careful elder" I walk away towards the forest to get some herbs for the next moons.
