The Cleansing, Book One CHAPTER FOUR -- IN THE LIGHT "The Healed Camp?" Skye sputtered. Ripple smirked at her. "A code word for a secret.... rebellion. Any Quarantined we can rescue live here, as well as anyone willing to run away from the Queen," he explained. He motioned towards three young pups running through the grassy plains, yipping in glee. "They find mates, have pups ; they're happy." Skye looked around in awe. "The Queen has no idea this exists?" She asked. He nodded. "For now," he said gravely. He brightened, beckoning her back to the entrance cave, where a dark brown wolf, a lighter brown wolf, a green wolf, and a gray wolf stood in a huddle, speaking to one another. Ripple lead Skye up to them and all of the older wolves looked up, greeting Ripple warmly. "These are my.... closer friends," he explained, proceeding to introduce them. The dark brown wolf with glowing yellow eyes -- Draven. The lighter brown wolf with a warm smile -- Fink. The ancient green wolf -- Yodo. The gray wolf with blue feathers in her fur -- Bird. Fink grinned at Skye, flicking an ear. "Welcome to the family." ______________________________________________________ I can't explain how sorry I am this is so late!
