Lily was now a member of the wolf pack, but if she had known what dangers they would have to face, she would have said no. Penquilla and her pack led Lily through the forest, around towns, through more forests, and finally to the bottom of a snowy mountain. The journey had taken three days, and the whole pack were grumpy with hunger. The worst was Lily. She had fainted ten times already, and couldn't go on much longer. Now the pack and Penquilla were making her climb up the mountain with them. " We'll find food up there. " Penquilla grunted as she struggled to get up onto a high ledge. " Delicious mountain goats. '' Lily was aghast. " You mean we have to hunt!? " She cried. Penquilla grinned. "Of course! Come on already!!! " Lily scurried up as high as she could, then she looked down the mountain. " Are you sure this is safe? " she whimpered. Penquilla laughed. " If you can't climb up this little hill, then you're not fit even to be a mouse, you mutt!!! " Lily started to cry. '' But its not a little hill! Its millions of feet high! " Penquilla ignored Lily. As Lily started to turn back, she tumbled into a big rock. Penquilla gave a dark, cruel laugh. Some of the wolves started to nip at Lily. Wincing in pain, Lily managed to sit up. " Get going, or we'll kill you, " Penquilla growled, reminding Lily of the doberman in the hut. Lily steadied herself. She was only a few feet off the ground. She could leave. Lily slowly turned to go, but Penquilla caught Lily and bit her on her back leg. '' No one leaves the pack! " she roared, but then she grinned. "Change of direction. We're going into the forest. I feel like getting some deer and rabbits. Maybe a moose would be good, too. " The wolves all growled and complained, but Penquilla won't take no for a answer. "I can do with a wolf meal, too. " she added. The wolves quieted down, all except two. Grinning, they said in raspy voices, " Bring it on. "
