The Outcasts | Book One: A New Pack

Chapter Four: To a New Home

"Anyways, ready to climb that mountain?" Al asked as Athens walked off.

"Yeah," Blaze answered. She started climbing.

I noticed that Luna looked scared. "Hey, Luna. I can help you up the mountain if you want."

"Thanks, let's go. They're already halfway up."

"Guys, come on!" Blaze yelled.

"We're coming!"

"Let's go."

"Okay."

"Wow, this is a beautiful mountain," Luna said.

"Yeah. Was it worth the climb?" I asked.

"Yes."

"Great. Ready to climb down the other side?" Blaze asked.

"Yeah, I guess."

"Let's go."

"This is a cool place. I'll check out the cave," Blaze offered.

"Me too," Al said.

"Okay," I replied. "Luna and I will look around and check out the lake. Is that okay, Luna?"

"Yeah, that's fine."

"We can use those ridges to sleep on," Blaze said.

"Okay. I'm strong enough to move some stones. We can use them as a table, maybe," Al said.

"Good idea, surprisingly."

"What's that supposed to mean!?"

"You're not very smart."

"Yes, I am!"

"You're right! Yes, you are dumb," Blaze smirked.

"This lake is amazing," Luna commented, in awe.

"Yeah," I agreed. "Let's investigate it."

We walked to the lake and looked down. It was very shallow, so I stepped in. I kept walking, and I started swimming when it was too deep. Although Luna had never swam before, she was good at it.

"Nice, there's fish!" said Luna.

"Yeah," I agreed.

"Should we check on Al and Blaze?"

"Yeah. They should still be in the cave."

"Blaze, Al, you guys in here?" I yelled. This was a big cave. It's big enough for a whole pack. It was perfect.

"Yeah!" they both yelled.

"We got it all set up," Blaze said.

"Yeah. I moved some rocks to make a table, and Blaze found a spot for all of us to sleep," said Al.

"Yeah, but now we need food."

"There's only fish in the lake outside, so Blaze and I will go outside the mountains and hunt. You guys finish getting the cave ready, okay?"

Everyone agreed, so Blaze and I set out for food.
