A/N OK, so because I suck I had to redo everything I have ever worked on for the first story of Wolf's Mane. Anyways, this is the first chapter to my "baby" story (because I love it so freaking much) and I really hope you like it and decide to read on. :)

Disclaimer: I own nothing but my own characters and ideas.

Chapter 1

Introduction

A light snow fell from the dark clouds above, landing on the already freezing ground. Through the snowfall, if you traveled far enough, you would come to a clearing. In fact, it wasn't at all a clearing, it was a meadow. In the snow covered meadow, a slightly older graying female wolf carefully watched over two teenage twin pups that were romping in the field before her. The youngest of the twin wolf pups looked up to the sky, while the other one tackled her to the ground.

She landed with a thud and playfully pushed on her brother's belly with her paws. Through the thick, falling snow, the two wolves were barely visible. The older of the twin wolves jumped off of his sister and bounded towards the old she wolf that was keeping an eye on both of the white pups- even though she only had one eye to spare.

Back in her den laid another she pup. This was was different then the twin pups. She was a salt and pepper colored she pup. The pup belonged to a friend of the old female wolf. The mother of the pup was Maugrim's, a foolish young wolf, mate. The pup resembled her mother more then her father, and the two twin pups were very cautious around her.

The two white wolves huddled around the older wolf and buried their noses in her dark gray pelt. The oldest of the twins had amber eyes and light gray fur all around his neck, resembling a lion. The younger of the two wolves had glowing light blue eyes. She had her mother's eyes.

The old she wolf loved both pups very much, and would do anything for them; even hide them from the White Witch.

The youngest pup looked up from the she wolf's pelt.

"Nenna?" She asked in her innocent voice, "When do you think Adriana will come back to get Geode?" Nenna leaned over and licked the pup atop of her head.

"I do not know, Flie." Nenna said to the young wolf, "She may be back soon, and she may never come back. Adriana knew it was a mistake to take Maugrim as a mate." The old wolf shook her head, "Maugrim is a young fool, and he makes business with the White Witch... Geode may never be safe."

The old she wolf was making no attempt to hide the truth from the pups.

The male pup looked up.

"But Adriana will come back for Geode, won't she?" She asked, "Even though she doesn't love Maugrim anymore, she still loves Geode!"

Nenna smiled at the older pup. He was the wiser of the two. The male pup knew how to fight, yes, but he also knew how to plan like a king. On the other hand, the she pup had a talent for fighting and starting arguments. She was just plain stubborn.

"I do not know what will happen, Sail." Nenna said again, "What is to happen to Geode is in the paws of Aslan. Although, it's not the first time I have had to take care of an orphan, if it comes to that."

"What will happen if Maugrim does find us?" Flie asked.

.The old wolf laughing, her body rocking back and fourth. Flie knew how to ask questions.

"If Maugrim does find you two, then he will have had to go through Aslan himself first! Not to mention your mother!" Nenna's laugh turned into a small chuckle.

"Tell us a story, Nenna!" Sail said, changing the subject.

"Well, there are none to tell yet." Nenna said.

"I don't get it!" Flie wailed.

"Just let Nenna finish, Flie!" Sail snapped. Nenna smiled and continued.

"As time goes on, stories will form. Journeys will be made. Prophecies will be fulfilled, and the Sons of Adam and Daughters of Eve will sit on the thrones of Chair Paravel once more." Nenna said, "Now, why don't you two go inside and warm up Geode."

"But you haven't told us a story!" Sail protested.

"Oh, but I have." Nenna wisely said, "Now go get Geode warm before she gets sick from the cold."

The two pups groaned and stood up, legs stiff from the cold. They padded back into the den, Nenna watching them closely.

The old wolf watched as Flie curled up against the young pup. She was always motherly in an awkward way, but still a pup herself. Nenna sighed and turned back to look at the meadow.

"I know you're out there." She said loudly, but soft enough so that Flie and Sail couldn't hear her.

There was no answer.

Finally, after what seemed to be hours, a golden figure stepped out of the snow.

Nenna watched as the magnificent lion stepped from the meadow.

"I didn't think you would come." Nenna said crossly, but with a high amount of respect.

The great lion shook his mane to rid it of the excess snow.

"What makes you think I would not come to take care of my cubs?" The lion asked neutrally.

"If I remember right, only females are able to nurse- not males!" Nenna said, "Aren't I able to take care of your cubs well enough?"

"That is not why I am here." The lion said.

"Then tell me, what is so important that you're making an old wolf like me stand out in the cold for?" Nenna asked.

"The White Witch is coming for them." The lion said.

"That's impossible." Nenna snorted, "No one else knows about them but you, me, Sacara, the Elders, and Adriana." The great lion sighted when the wolf mention Adriana.

"I found Adriana..." He said, "The Witch got to her... first."

"Oh, Aslan, no." Nenna growled, "She had a pup!"

"You must move the den." Aslan continued, "You must move them to Glasswater Creek."

"Aslan, I'm too old for this!" Nenna sighed, "Plus we have a young pup."

"Bring me the pup." Aslan commanded.

Nenna hesitated for a moment, but eventually fetched the small bundle, ignoring the looks Flie and Sail gave her. Geode wailed in protest as Nenna carried her by the scruff.

Aslan lightly breathed on the small pup, and her cries were silenced.

"I will take her somewhere safe." He promised.

"Where?" Nenna asked.

"To the Beavers." Aslan said.

"Why the Beavers?" Nenna asked.

"She will be safe there." Aslan said, picking up the pup, "Take them to Glasswater Creek- it is essential that they survive." Aslan said one last time, before he disappeared into the shadows.

"Nenna, are you sure you can keep going?" Flie asked wearily. The old wolf looked up from where she fell in the snow.

"I'll be fine." She croaked, "Worry about yourself!" Nenna gestured towards their cut and bleeding pads.

"We're fine, Nenna." Sail assured the old wolf, "We're just worried about you."

"I'm fine." Nenna snapped, "I just need to rest." The old wolf curled up into a tight ball.

Flie and Sail exchanged looks, before curling up close to Nenna. They hadn't gotten too far. Nenna had only been able to make it to the Shuddering Woods. She had been right- she was too old to make the journey. The cold had taken a toll on her old body.

The three wolves woke up to a dark howl echoing through the forest. With a spine chilling bark, a dark shadow appeared above the cliff in front of the three wolves. It was Maugrim.

"Well, well." Maugrim laughed, "Look what we have here. Hello, Mother."

Maugrim let out a fearsome snarl. Nenna stood calmly, while Sail slunk back behind Nenna, and Flie met Morgrim's snarl with a challenge.

"The Queen was right." Maugrim taunted, circling the wolves, "You two are the offspring of Aslan."

More wolves appeared over the hill and also began circling Flie, Sail, and Nenna.

"Maugrim!" Another wolf snarled, "I am the lead wolf here! That means you don't run off in front of the pack, warning the prey!"

"Yes, Tala." Maugrim growled submissively to the large midnight wolf. Five wolves circled the old and twin wolves.

"Hand over the cubs, and no one gets hurt." Tala said to Nenna.

"Never!" Nenna snarled.

"Then you have chosen your fate." Tala growled, and flicked his tail.

A wolf leapt at Nenna, but was caught off guard when another force slammed into him.

Sail knocked the male wolf to the ground with a thud and bite to his shoulder. The wolf howled in agony and tried to push the white wolf off.

Flie followed in her brother's lead and leapt onto Tala. She bit his ear, while Maugrim grabbed her tail. Flie yelped and let go of Tala's ear.

A second wolf jumped on Nenna, and the last female wolf bolted over to Sail and tackled him off of her mate.

Tala knocked Flie to the ground and held her down with one massive paw.

Nenna grabbed the wolf that had jumped on her by the neck and bit down with all of the strength she had, not allowing him any air. She let go of his neck and threw him do the ground, flipping him on his back and clawing at his stomach.

The she wolf grabbed Sail's scruff and pulled him completely off of her mate.

Tala was about to make the deathblow to Flie, but the white wolf tripped the ember wolf.

Maugrim stalked over to his mother and grabbed hold of her neck, rage blinding his vision.

The male wolf jumped on top of Sail while his mate ran over to check on the wolf wounded by Nenna. Flie jumped up to her paws and tackled the male holding down her brother. Tala quickly bounded over and dragged Flie off of the male wolf, who had succeeded in knocking Sail unconscious.

"Maugrim!" Tala snarled, "Finish her!" The black wolf began dragging Flie away, the male and female wolf following with Sail.

Maugrim looked down at his birthmother one last time, no pity in his eyes, before slashing her stomach.

He then turned and bounded after his pack.

When he caught up to them, Flie was still attempting to struggle out of the large wolf's grasp.

"Leave!" Maugrim growled at the male and female wolf. Once the two wolves and oldest white wolf were out of sight, Maugrim pounced on Tala, releasing Flie from her captor.

"What are you doing!" Tala snarled as Flie scrambled away. Maugrim smiled evilly at Tala.

"I'm taking leadership." Maugrim growled, "Goodbye, Tala."

Maugrim leapt at Tala.

Flie bolted after the two other wolves that held her brother captive.

"Sail!" Flie howled, "Sail, where are you?"

Flie waited a few minuets for any answer, but there was nothing.

"Sail!" Flie called again, "Please come out!" She began to wail, "I don't want to play this game anymore, Sail!"

"Please come back..." Flie whispered hopelessly.

A light snow began to fall from the sky, covering Flie's paw prints. The sky had grown dark, the air dry and cold.

The white wolf thought for a moment... Who was it that always knew where Sail was? Nenna! Flie had to find Nenna!

"Nenna! Sail!" Flie called, running back to the clearing where they had fought.

When she reached the clearing, there was nothing. The snow had covered up nearly everything. Bright crimson bloodstains were still embedded in the pale snow. Under a large clef laid a mound of matted dark gray fur.

"Nenna?" Flie called uncertainly.

There was no answer. Everything was still. Flie padded up next to Nenna and nudged her. The old wolf lay as still as the Frozen River. Her body was cold, and frost covered her dark gray pelt. Flie felt no life in her foster mother. Nenna was dead. Killed by her own son.

Maugrim would pay, Flie promised that. Grief and anger fill her aqua eyes as she let out a long, mournful howl. She knew what had happened... They had come for her and Sail.

Now they had Sail. Nenna had tried her best to protect the two wolf cubs, but had failed utterly. Sail was gone, forever. Flie felt as if the whole world and collapsed around her, she was alone.

Her heart sunk to her tail as a deep pit formed in her stomach. A bright blue flame that had once burned within her blew out and was replaced by a longing nothing. The once place she had come to love most had taken away all that she had life in. Flie's life seemed pointless now... alone

A/N Please R&R, that would really make my day!
