They both nodded and shadow smiled at Celest "yes we are and I know that he is coming back today." he said happly and continued to watch for a figure out in the distance.

Celest sat down by her father. She knew he was getting old, she was glad that Tyson was coming back, even if it was just for a visit. Umay just then dashed down from the tree and onto the path. "I see him!" She squealed, running up the path.

Alex smiled and dashed after Umay. He was happy to see his wolf friend after son long

Shadow stayed with Celest besides him. He would love to run to met him but his body was getting old and he was saving his energy just incase anything happend.

"TYYYYSSSOOON!!!!!!!" Umay howled. She heard a "UUUUUMMMAAAYY!!!!!!" Reply her. she ran quickly, hearing that Alex was behind her. She turned the corner and saw a full-grown wolf standing at the top of the hill. "Tyson!" She cried, and the two pups nuzzled each other. "Where's Celest?" He asked, his voice much deeper. "She's at the bottom of the hill with Shadow. Oh, I'm so glad your back!" "Look how much you've grown!" "Look who's talking! Your voice seems so different. Are you done training?" "For the time being, yeah. Come on, let's go see your sister."

Alex smiled seeing Tyson and patted his head when he got closer "it is good to see you" he said with a huge smile on his face. He had missed Tyson a lot while he was gone and was glad that he was back.

They bounded down the slope and Tyson ran to Celest and Shadow. "Tyson!" Celest said, leaving her Alpha's side and coming up to him. "You look so big!!" Tyson laughed and nervously approached Shadow. "I'm sorry I ran away and everything, but I'm here now!" He said. Celest rolled her eyes. Sure, he was a lot bigger, but that didn't mean he had that way of getting out of trouble.

Shadow smiled and got to his feet "it is okay, just glad that your back" he said and licked Tysons cheek. Shadow was to happy about having tyson back to really be mad at him. But later on he would get a tlaking to, maybe.

Tyson let out a sigh of relief and asked. "Where's mom?" "She's in the clearing, getting you a return-home present." "Oh boy!" The three raced to the clearing.

Alex ran after them happly and Shadow watched them go. He then slowly made his way after them. His leg was starting to hurt and he didn't want to strain it much.

"Welcome home Tyson!" Hazel rushed up and licked her cub. "Mom, mom! Mom, I'm fine!" Tyson said, trying to escape. "Oh, it's so good to see you!!"Hazel said. "Come, I got you something." Tyson was presented with the juciest rabbit he had ever seen. "Woah!!!"

Alex laughed when he saw how Tyson was trying to escape. But then smiled seeing the rabbit.

Shadow soon appeared at the end of the clearing and smiled at Hazle and everyone. He walked over to Hazel and sat down next to her.

Tyson let the other two cubs share it with him, and when they were done, he smiled. "It's so good to be back home!" he said happily.

Shadow smiled "and it is good to see you." he said happly.

Alex smiled "well I would love to stay but Sara wants me back home soon so I have to go." he siadn and hugged everyone "I will be back soon" he said as he ran into the forest happly.

After they had all stopped chattering, Umay and Celest pulled on Tyson to show him something. "Sure! We'll be right back Mom!" Tyson called as they ran into the forest. "Ahh, he's still a cub in my eye." Hazel said happily. "Shadow, you should rest, you'll have plenty of time to waist your energy hunting later."

Shadow nodded "okay, I will" he said as he walked over to a tree and layed down under it.

The cubs dashed around for awhile, Celest and Umay telling Tyson about what had happened while he was gone. "Enough about us, what about you?" "Well, I did what I told you: I trained." "Did you get stronger?" "I think so."

Shadow was just about to fall asleep when he felt like something bad was going to happen.

From behind Celest came a roar and a huge bear came out of the bushes and growled at the cubs. They had come to close to it's den and it wasn't to happy about it.

"Yikes!" The cubs jumped back. "Should we run?" "I don't wanna pick a fight." "But wait!" Tyson looked at the bear. "This is my chance to show you how strong I got!" "Tyson, you can show us later on Mama or something. we gotta go!!!"

The bear roared even more and charged at The cubs.

"Never mind!" Tyson yelped and they ran up a tree. "Let's hope it can't climb!" Umay whimpered. "Relax, there's a branch over there, we can jump onto that and run for it." Celest reasoned.

The bear growled again and started to climb up the tree. It wasn't going to let them leave peacefully.

"Ahh!" they all yelped. "To the other branch!" Tyson screamed, leading the way over. His two sisters followed him.

The bear growled again and jumped down from teh tree and followed them to the next.

"What are we going to do?" Umay asked. "Run for it!" Tyson yelled. They fell from the tree and ran as fast as they could to the camp.

The bear continued to come after them. It wasn't going to stop ever.
