Lost to Find Chapter 11
EvieI cried myself to sleep for the umpteenth night in a row. I've been here longer than Hetty and Eli. I barely remember a time before being here. Sometimes I dream of my mother. Her soft green eyes, framed by her light brown curls. The same eyes I see in the mirror. Her voice, a melody, she calls to me. I don't even remember her name. If it wasn't for Carla insisting we be called by our given names, I probably wouldn't even remember my own.I wake in a curled heap by my door as I blink the crust from my eyes. There's a knock on the door, that's Beck, one of the lab hands. He's learned to knock before bringing my breakfast since I tend to sleep against it. I roll over and whisper for him that I'm clear. He cracks the door and pokes his head in before pushing the door all the way open."Morning Eve. Brought your 'blek'fast for you." He has a warm smile. He's the only one that calls me Eve instead of Evie or Evonleigh. I chuckle at his play on words and his smile widens. "We've got th

HonourWhere are we?There's no clues for me discern.The only sight is black aside from the orange red glow beyond our eyelids.The only sound the rush of blood in our ears.Smell. What is that smell? There's earth, we're used to that. But what else? It's sweet, but not to eat. It makes me think of colors. We don't see colors often. It bring to mind the color of Carla's hair clip. The one with the plants, what did she call them? Purple flowers. She called it wist.. something. Wisteria? Yeah, purple wisteria.'Hetty, are you there?'Silence. It's deafening. Painfully so.'Herietta!'Panic consumes me. I've never been alone like this.I should open my eyes.The light, it's blinding. I blink the sting away. Something isn't right. I feel weak, and cold. I'm never cold in my form. Ok Honour, think. What's the last thing you remember? Think. Think. Think.We were in the white room.Dr. Krauft had just checked our straps.He said it'd only be a pinch.Carla had just walked in, she gave him a

HettyPain. So much pain! Why are we in pain? Searing and all consuming.Where are we?'Honour?'Nothing. Just like before. Crap!What's that sound? Sounds like a voice, it's low, like Kraufts, but I don't recognize it. I can't quite make out the words he's saying. I blink a few times as my surroundings rush in.I'm surrounded by trees. All I hear is blood moving behind my ears aside from the low muffled voice. I blink again and I see a face. I look around again.There's trees. A road. On the side of the road there's a car. A jeep. It reminds me of my brother's, open back and all. I push those tear forming thoughts away as I try to move.That's when I notice it. I'm not on my body, this is Honour's form. What in the world?!I look around again and find the man's face. He's older, probably about the same age as Krauft. His hands are held up, palms facing me as a sign of passivity. His dark brown curls tucked up in a beat up baseball cap and his bright blue eyes flooded with concern.I

LeoI don't know what I was thinking. I wasn't even supposed to be on that road. I had missed my turn and decided to stay stay on the scenic route. It's only 5 minutes longer than my normal way home.I saw her come through the trees and seemed to collapse in pain and every fiber of my being pushed me to go check what was up. As I approached I didn't see any physical injuries, maybe she just exhausted herself? It's stupid, absolutely idiotic to touch a wild wolf, especially an injured one, but I couldn't help it. Before I even registered what was happening I was kneeling and reaching for her muzzle. Just as my fingertips were about to touch I heard a whimper and I froze."Are you trying to get your hand bitten off?" I scolded myself. "Cause this is how you get your hand bitten off. I like my hands, my hands do great things. I'd like to keep them, thank you very much."Next thing I knew her eyes were blinking open and my senses rushed to me pulling my hands back to convey my benignity.

JessI start with vitals; lung sounds, heart beat, eye check. Nothing out of the ordinary for a wolf. She seems underweight. "Could you go grab the portable scale for me?""Of course" Leo stalks off to the shed.Next up are teeth and claws. Teeth look normal, perfect even. Claws are a bit long, odd. Ears are fine. Next I run my hands along her legs to check for joint swelling, injury, or parasites; ticks, fleas, etc. Nothing. So far she's seems the picture of health, although a bit on the larger side.Leo comes back with the scale and helps me shimmy her onto it. 103.94 lbs. Not bad for an ordinary female, but she's large, she should be closer to 120-130lbs."She's definitely underweight, but otherwise healthy. She probably collapsed from hunger and exhaustion." Leo writes my assessment on my clipboard. You'd think he's a vet tech and not a carpenter. "We'll tag her, let her rest a few days, get her weight back up and let her back out."I go to stand back up and he's instantly got one

Hetty I'm sitting in the passenger seat if a lime green open back jeep holding a chocolate vanilla swirl ice cream cone, laughing as Eric sings in falsetto along with TSwift. He looks back at me grinning as he pulls the jeep into gear and pulls out of the parking lot."So how was school, kiddles?" he grins at me. My smile falls."Alright, I guess" he wrinkles his brow."Just alright? What's going on?""Just normal school stuff, ya know how it goes." He hums."Do I need to kick some adolescent butts? Let me know now before I'm a legal adult and can get in serious trouble for assaulting 13 year olds" always so protective."It's not that. It's the occupation preparation classes at school. Everyone's already got these big careers planned with their dream jobs. I find it hard to think about a career when all I want is to find my mate and have a few pups. Is that so pathetic?" He just laughs."Those are humans. All they want is money, you want more. You want love, a family, and community.
Lost to Find Chapter 5
HettyI wake up to the sun in my face. I enjoy the peace. Not being poked, prodded, or tested. I can't remember the last time I was actually alone like this. Although,it feels extra lonely without Honour to talk to.Eventually Leo brings out a raw chicken breast and steamed carrots. Still better than plain oatmeal all day everyday. He doesn't really say anything and shortly after I hear the jeep's engine turn over. He must be headed to work, I wonder what he does. Dad was Beta so he didn't really have another 9 to 5 job, I can't really think of what jobs a human would have other than the ones I've seen on TV. Jess is obviously some sort of veterinarian, and with these large enclosures, chances are she's a wildlife vet.Not long after Leo is gone does Jess come out to check me again. She rubs a hand over our spine, our legs, and around our head and neck. Probably to check for parasites. I'd honestly be surprised if I didn't have a tick somewhere under all Honour's fur. Her hand stops o

LeoI didn't sleep. I stared at the ceiling while my mind raced. What kind of wolf is this? She is docile, yet intelligent. She can write her freaking name! She has a tag already. Is she some kind of hybrid? Not fully wolf, not fully dog? She is big. She could be a wolf crossed with one of those giant dog breeds. Who put that tag in her, and what roll have they played in her past? There's no droughts, plenty of prey, why is she so emaciated? That's the question that scares me the most. What kind of situation was she in and how did she get in it? Did someone cause this? Why?My alarm goes off and I get out of bed to get ready. My mind continues to race as I shower, get dressed, and start the Keurig. As I finish my coffee I move to the fridge to pull out some food for our guest, Hetty. My mind doesn't stop, it just keeps going in the same circle. Who? What? Why? How? I don't even remember taking the food out, or getting in my car to go to work.Work goes by normally until it comes to lu
