Story
My mother depends on me. Ever since father died in that fierce snow storm, she has always been afraid to find another or even to anything to endanger us. After months of trying to persuade her to let me outside again, she let loose and finally allowed his only son, me, to play in the snow for hours on end.
"Keal, please come inside now! It is getting late, and the snow will be falling soo..." mother shouted from the mouth of our den, trying to search for me in the snow......well, she will be surprised!
"Rawr! " I shrieked, pouncing at my mother from under the snow. I leaped on her chest and licked her warm face. "Coming! Its getting cold anyway."
Mother laughed. "Come, I have a job for you."
"So, what did you need me for?" I asked, eager to get this over with so i can return to my "haven" of snow.
"Listen, Keal, this delivery is very important and urgent. I need you to remember this. It is far too important to write a letter, for if you drop it, all is lost." mother's grave look startled me, and I froze immediately in my tracks, never to have seen this look before.
I gulped, frightened and excited at the same time. Frightened, because of the responsibility of this mission and of the fact that I have a horrible memory, but excited, because of the importance of me.
"Now, remember. I need you to deliver this message to Martel, Alpha of the Pack of Heela. The message is, "Lady Marta, I never wished to send this message, but in order to keep you and your family safe, I must."
Mother then began to tell me of the horrid pack that all others fear above anything else. I gulped, not at all thrilled and scared to be sent on this mission.
"Keal, my darling. You are our only hope now. Go, and stay safe. May the stars guide you."
I shook my head and took a few breaths before i walked out of our den and faced the cold. I knew, silently, that this was not a trip that I could take my time, for lives were endangered. I glanced back at my warm den and sighed. That may as well be the last chance i see true warmth for a long time.....
