Thowan waited for the sound of the two wolves nearby but it didn't come for a while. They must have been farther off then he had thought. Then all of a sudden Thowan heard a thud on top of the van. Thowan craned his neck to look at the ceiling. There was a clear dent in it. Then there was a scrapping noise. Thowan backed away but when there was a metal ripping sound his attention was brought back to the ceiling. There was a weird kind of knife in the ceiling.
A hole appeared in the ceiling and a beam of light fell in the cargo area. Then dropped in was a small human figure. When it stood up Thowan was delighted for it was Matt! He looked around and spotted Thowan. Then he ran over to the cage and undid the bolt. Thowan jumped into his arms. Thowan hadn't realised it but he was shaking now with happiness. He licked Matt's face. After a good tongue licking Matt made for the back of the van.
All of a sudden Thowan yipped, "Matt. Shouldn't we help the other animals" Matt turned around.
"Your right Thowan we should help the rest of them" He said.
Matt quickly realised the rest of the captured animal. Then he undid the van door from the inside and opened it. Then clutching Thowan he lept out of the van. He hit gravel and rolled. A technique that is supposed to help you from getting hurt. He rolled to a stop but as he did so did the van. The doors of the van opened and the rest of the animals fled. Matt stood up. He had scrapped up his elbow and his forhead jumping out but he was otherwise ok.
Poor skinny Nass yelled, "What are you doing!!!"
"It's called saving a friend" answered Matt.
"You better give us back that white wolf cub" urged Fatty Rick.
"Never"
"You might want to rethink that son" said Nass
"I'll never let you"
"Yeah well you and what army" chuckled Rick
"I don't need an army just my friends" Then out of nowwhere came Corden and Breeze. They were both growling and showing their teeth to Rick and Nass. Nass backed toward the van. Then he turned around and grabbed something and whirled around. In his hands was a rifle. Thowan gulped. Corden barred her teeth even more and Breeze's eyes narrowed into a menecying glare.
"Just let us go" said Matt
"That wolf pup is are's" said Rick
"No he's not. He's a local to Josey. He is a sacred animal of legend and lore"
"You don't mean the Thowan the wolf spirit thing do you" asked Nass
"That's right. He is Thowan. Go on Thowan show them your snowstorm ability" Thowan looked gravely at the ground. "What's the matter Thowan" Both Nass and Rick were looking at Matt weird for he was speaking in wolf launguage.
"Matt. I don't have my powers anymore. I just have some simple powers but I can't do anything to convince these animal hunters"
"That's a shame. Well what do we do" Thowan looked at Corden. He had an idea. A dream had come to him last night. It was the dream of what had happened to him when he died and what he had done for Corden.
"Corden you have to do it" said Thowan
"But how can I-"
"When I died in my last life I gave you my energy. You can use it now. Create something of your imagination and scare them away"
"O-ok I'll try" She seemed to concentrate. Then out of nowhere came a big shadow. It swept over the land toward the van. The two men seemed to gasp in horror. Then they ran and got in the van and drove as fast as they could away. Matt set Thowan down and Thowan walked over to Corden.
"Thanks Corden" said Thowan
"Your welcome Thowan"

Chapter 14
Thowan woke up to the dim light coming through the plastic ceiling parts of the van. The other animals looked miserable. There was a fox, ground hogs, birds, mountain lion, and a bear cub. All the noise hurt Thowan's ears. The door to the van opened blinding all of the animals.
"Time for food" said Rick
"Why bother saying that it's reticules" said Nass
"Well then they might understand not to attack us while we feed them"
"Ah very well but we have to get a move on. We need to deliver all these animals today!"
"Stop being snappy besides they always forgive us if we're late. They know how hard it is to catch animals these days"
"What ever" Then Rick feed all of the animals except when he got to me he tied my muzzle shut and cleaned me off real quick. Then he untied my muzzle and gave me my food.
"Wait" said Thowan through his brain Rick looked around but shrugged it off. "Humans" thought Thowan, "have to big of brains for there own good" Then the van started. All the animals freaked out at first then they settled down. Thowan could hear something in the background of the van. It was a wolf howl. It was Corden.
"Where are you Thowan"
"I'm here Corden. Follow the noise of the van" Corden and Breeze would come save Thowan. Yes they would.

Chapter 13
Thowan opened his mouth in a yawn. Then he thought. The bandages fell off! He tried to bite through the edge of the sack. It was very tough and not yielding. He let out a growl of frustration.
"Looks like are friend is awake" said a booming voice
"Yes it does" said a shrill voice "Well lets take a look at him"
The bags neck opened and the bag was turned over. Thowan fell onto something hard and cold. Thowan shook and took in the surroundings. He was in a little cage. There was a fatish man and a skinny man. They were in a clearing with a van. There was a nice warm fire.
The fat man said, "Well look his muzzle is all cut up" This is who the booming voice belonged to.
"And his paws" said the shrill skinny man. Thowan growled.
"I bet your hungry" The skinny man brought out some meat and slid it in between the bars. "I've never seen anything like it Rick" said the skinny man.
"Me neither. A wolf cub at this time of year. Its almost fall" said Rick "It's a good thing we got something like this Nass"
"What's all over his body" asked Nass
"Some sort of paste. I heard people around here make sacrifices. Maybe they sacrificed him and he lived"
"Well anyway we'll need to clean him up before we try to sell him. Put him in the truck"
"OK" Rick the fatty grabbed Thowan's cage. He walked over to the van and open the back. He set him down on another cage. Before Thowan's eyes could adjust the back was closed and it was pitch dark. Even too dark for a wolf.

Chapter 12
Thowan had to do something but there was nothing he could do. Peter possessed by Garth ran on. They got to a river. Peter walked to the middle of the bridge. Peter held the struggling bag over the edge. His fingers slowly uncurled. He let go. The bag dropped.
It hit the water. It sank a good twelve feet under water. The bag quickly filled up. Thowan was panicking. The water soon engulfed him. Bandages swelled and fell off. Thowan paddled with all his might to get the bag up. He had no idea if he was going up or down. He started to need air. His vision blurred. He pasted out.
He woke up. He was still in the bag but on land. Thowan heard a voice.
"I can't believe we found a wolf inside a sack with no mom still alive in the river"
"You need shorter sentences"
"I wonder how much we can get for him" Thowan had been caught by poachers!

Chapter 11
Garth walked into the room in the form of Peter. Thowan was fast asleep due to the pill. Garth snickered.
"This at to be easy" said Peter with the sound of Garth behind it. Peter was seeing the same think a Garth. He had no control over his body. He tried to gain control but the spirit was too strong. "It shall all be over soon. You had others to save each time you died. Now you are just going to die" Thowan tossed a little in his sleep but otherwise didn't move. Peter bent over. He moved his hands toward Thowan. He unraveled the bandages around his mouth. Then he rapped it up again but so much tighter then it should have been to heal.
"There now there is no calling for help" Then Peter grabbed more bandages. He walked over to Thowan. He rapped his legs together cruel tight. Thowan moved but didn't wake up. Peter's actions were slow like he was not used to his body but Garth was a wolf not a human. Then Peter picked Thowan up. He went out the window and too his house. His parents were gone. He walked to his bedroom. He set Thowan down. He walked to the kitchen and grabbed some ingredients. He started to make something.
It turned out to be a paste when he was done. He walked back into the room with the paste and a knife. Peter shivered on the inside. He knew what Garth was going to do. He smeared Thowan with the paste. It was to keep him from talking with his brain. Peter started to make an alter. The sun rose and Thowan woke up. He was wet. He couldn't move. He flexed his muscles. Peter walked back in. He had some rope. He tied Thowan to a piece of board.
He set the lit candles around Thowan. Thowan couldn't breath. Peter rose the knife above his head. Thowan closed his eyes. There was a thud. Thowan opened his eyes. The knife had been thrown into the wall. Peter was gasping. He had struggled for control.
"Fine" said Garth through Peter's voice, "We can't kill him this way" Garth looked through Peter's mind. He found what he was looking for. He left and came back with a potato sack. He untied Thowan from the board. He shoved him in the bag. Then he took the rope and tied the end shut. Then he left with Thowan in the bag. Garth was planning on drowning Thowan for he remembered that is the only other way to truly kill Thowan.

Chapter 10
Matt's daily routine was to wake up. Get dressed check on Thowan. Feed/water him and in the last piece he would put one pain reliever. Then he would go to school. At lunch he would come back and feed/water Thowan again. After school he would take the bandage's off till bedtime. Then he would feed Thowan again. In the last two pieces he would have pain reliever and sleep medicine. Every night Thowan would have a dream about his past or Garth would intervene. Thowan was suspicious of Garth but part of him wanted to believe him. Thowan's wounds got better. Then one Friday someone came over.
"Thanks" said Matt
"No problem" said the other boy.
"Thowan this is Peter. He's going to take care of you while I'm gone this weekend with my mom"
Then Matt explained how to take care of him while he was gone. Then he gave him a key. Then Matt left with his mom. Little did anyone know that there was another force at work. That night a force took over Peter. No one say the hatred in his eye's. Then he acted normal again. That night after Thowan was asleep. Peter walked in. Except he wasn't all Peter. Garth had taken him over.

Chapter 9
It was white, but it was not cold. It felt like there was nothing there. Thowan was there and so was something else. There was a flash and there stood a black wolf.
"Hello brother" said the black wolf.
"Brother?" asked Thowan.
"Ah you don't recognize you older brother Garth"
"No I don't" but there was a shiver running down Thowan's back.
"That's to bad, but I bet your getting an inpression. I am evil. So are you"
"What? That can't be"
"That's right after the first time you died you got confused. You choose good over me. We were both evil brothers until your last life were you killed me!" Thowan started to back away.
"Oh don't worry I won't hurt you. Your my brother. You got confused and killed me by accident. The blood lust was on me also and I got you back before I died"
"N-no it can't be. I can't be evil. I've been traveling with great friends and there good"
"That's because there doing there best to turn you good" This did make some sense to Thowan. "Remember the Man that was a wolf that stole you in the night. I sent him to get you away from them. I didn't mean for him to tie it so tight" Thowan thought about it. Had it all been a lie?
"I can see this trouble's you. Go back to your body and think about it" There was a flash and Thowan was back in Matt's bedroom. He had had a dream. But it was a controlled dream that time. Thowan put his head down. He was so confussed he didn't know what to do. Thowan looked at Matt on his bed. Thowan got up. Thowan ran a little and jumped on the bed. Then he curled up and slept near Matt for comfort from the weird dream.
"Hello brother" said the black wolf.
"Brother?" asked Thowan.
"Ah you don't recognize you older brother Garth"
"No I don't" but there was a shiver running down Thowan's back.
