It was dark when Anya woke up, and the moon floated just above the trees like a big golden balloon. She should have been cold but Stanton’s tail was wrapped around her, a thick and furry blanket that kept away the chill. She automatically looked toward Kenzie’s tent, but it was missing because of those stupid bears. Almost everything was gone now. Stanton had burned all the wrecked things that could be burned, and Josh and Kenzie had taken the rest with them. In the moonlight, Anya could make out the bright white feathers scattered like snow in the grass and in the bushes from Kenzie’s ugly brown sleeping bag. Kenzie was going to buy another sleeping bag in the city. Anya hoped she’d choose a pink one.

She yawned and stretched and snuggled back against the old wolf. Kenzie had asked her to come to the city with her, but Anya would have had to change back into a girl. That’s when she’d run away like a big silly and hidden under the devil’s club bush. She wasn’t supposed to change. Her mother had said that the wolf would keep her safe kehen , safe until her mother came back....

Kenzie had promised to bring her a present though. A surprise. That would be okay, wouldn’t it? Anya wished she’d come back soon. And Josh. She missed him too.

At least Stanton was nice—and she’d decided he was more like a grampa than a dad. She didn’t have one of those either but the old wolf just seemed like what she imagined a grampa would be like. He was just a little bit cranky when she jumped on his head while he was resting his eyes, but he was kind to her. He was a good hunter too—they’d eaten deer last night, Anya’s favorite. And he’d told her three whole stories before she fell asleep.

She was just dozing off again when Stanton’s head suddenly shot up, his ears swiveling to listen. A moment later she heard it too. Engines. Not from the road below but from the forest behind them. She jumped to her feet, quivering.

Let’s move away from the campsite. Stanton led the way quickly, soundlessly, into the deep brush. He picked a narrow game trail and followed it, down the hill toward Kenzie’s dig. Strangely, he seemed to be heading straight for the sound of the engines. They were louder now, coming toward them, and she whimpered just a little.

Okay Anya, duck down here with me. He’d found a spot beneath a fallen tree. They’re going to go right by us. It’ll be close, but they won’t see us if we keep still.

He squeezed into the hollow spot and she burrowed quickly between his front paws and hid there, afraid to look. The ATVs went hurtling by in an earsplitting blast of sound and vibration. In the midst of it, Stanton’s voice in her head was surprised. I’ll be damned. They’re white.

What’s white?

The ATVs.

She shivered and pressed closer. They’re the ones that took my mom.
