Luna looked at the wolves with sorrow and guilt in her eyes. A tiger came over, he was young and had plenty of scorched,worn down metal all over his body. Moon started to cry. “No no don’t cry little one!” Said the tiger. Something was different about that tiger… he-he actually cared about the wolves. Luna was questioning the guard when suddenly he spoke. ”Yeah Ryker wants your magical tooth for something, if you bit on this very bar of the cage-it would fall apart!” Said the guard. Luna knew what she had to do.
As the guard started talking to another tiger Luna looked at Moon dead in the eyes as she said, “Don’t scream or make any sort of noise ok?…”. Moon nodded confused. Luna bit on the bar-hard, hard enough to make the tooth fall right out of her mouth. She closed her eyes and was about to cry when she heard a massive, loud creak. She opened her eyes just to see that the cage had fallen apart.
She seized hold of her tooth and her terrified sisters and ran. Luna ran and ran clutching her sisters close until she saw a door just at the end of the corridor that had some sort of metal bars right at the top, but she didn’t care as she continued running., Luna heard Ryker screaming at the top of his lungs to shut the gate. She saw the bars going down and down-they were going to be trapped in if she didn’t hurry up. Suddenly, she had a burst of energy and in a flash she was right at the end of the corridor. Luna got on her knees and slid under the gate just before it shut with a bang. She was in shock. She had just managed to stay silent so Ryker didn’t hear her get out as she began to walk. She heard rustling in the bushes as something jumped out. It was mama’s sister Layla -here to help.
She hugged Layla as her sisters crept up from behind Luna and squeezed Layla “Easy you three I will get crushed to death if you don’t stop!” Said Layla, smiling like she just received the best news. They all began to walk as Layla explained what was going on with Ryker. Luna saw Layla looking at her tooth. As they went up the hills of snow and down the hills of Ice, Moon was looking at the holes in the ground like little burrows, she saw bears on trees napping peacefully as her heart filled with warmth, Luna explained about the tooth and Ryker to Layla.
They arrived at Layla’s home. It was a leaf house-one of a kind as they somehow vanished long ago. They sat down and talked about Moon’s necklace. Luna was paying as much attention as a baby watching a slipper as she was looking out the window. She saw it- wolf land in the distance, it was very small from the place she was looking for, it was a dark blue kind of colour, she saw tiny human looking figures which she guessed were the wolves. Her heart warmed as she felt like she accomplished the one thing her mama wanted. She heard her name called as she looked over at Layla just to see she was holding a spear-not just any spear but right at the top was her tooth sitting one the spear, right in place.
