Zander sighed. "I know why," he said. "Sully talked to me before he and Rochelle left town. Apparently, he was the one who killed Gretchen's mate, and she knews it. Somehow she must of have found out about Ashura..."

Chloe frowned. "So I guess she's using Ashura for her brother then," said Chloe. "We have to find something to do about it. There's no telling what Gretchen would do to Ashura."

Zander glanced at Dawn, then back at Chloe. An idea came to him, but he felt bad for even considering it. Still, they didn't have a lot of options... "Chloe, I need to talk to you in private for a minute, OK?" he said.

Chloe nodded. "Alright," she said. She headed towards the hall so that no one could really hear from the kitchen. "What's your idea?"

Zander paused. He knew that his idea was dodgy at best. It was the kind of thing he could imagine Greyback doing. Still... He sighed. "The girl... Dawn. You said she's from Gretchen's pack? Is there something wrong with her?"

"I think there is. She blacks out and then has some sort of a fit," said Chloe. "She said that she didn't like doctors. So I'm guessing she's had bad experiences with them. After her fits, she doesn't really remember anything. Although, when she does try to think and remember something, she gets headaches. I'm not sure what it could be."

Zander nodded slowly. "OK. So I say we keep her here for a while and try to figure out what's wrong with her. We can tell her that we donm't think she's well enough to go back yet. Meanwhile, we'll send a note to Gretchen and tell her that we have Dawn and we want to trade her for Ashura. That should at least buy us a little bit of time."

"Hmm," said Chloe in a second of thought. "That could work out for both packs. No one gets hurt, just a simple exchange, although, I hope it's that easy, but then again it rarely never is. Dawn knows that she's going to be here for just a few days, so she should be OK with that. When should we send the owl?"

When they got to the house Kris let go of Remus' hand then went to the back yard. She might as well be the little sister, she paced the yard feeling like a caged animal. She knew if she tried to leave again Remus would stop her. All she wanted to do was talk to her father, she was too impatient to wait for letters. She wanted to take action and go to her father and ask her questions.

Dawn knows that she's going to be here for just a few days, so she should be OK with that. When should we send the owl?" Zander nodded. "You're right. I just feel wrong about it, you know, like we're trading people. But Dawn will be perfectly safe here. She might even be better off with us than with her own pack. But the important thing will be to keep Gretchen from going after Sully. I don't think Ashura would be able to take it if something happened to her brother. Especially if it was because of her." He sighed and leaned against the wall. "I'll send the owl in a little while. I need to talk to the other girl... Coda. It's been a crazy couple of days. I, uh.... I made a new pup last night. I didn't mean to, but he followed Remus and Kris and he wouldn't leave, even when I started to change. His name is Dean... he should be here in a few minutes. Pearl wanted to have a talk with him first."

"Coda is a really sweet girl," said Chloe. Chloe glanced at him curiously for just a second after he said that he had made a pup. "How has he handled it?"

"I don't know," Zander said honestly. "He seemed OK with it, although confused. But he seems a bit off, to tell you the truth. Kind of dark." He sighed. "I never really wanted to make any pups..."

She knew if she tried to leave again Remus would stop her. All she wanted to do was talk to her father, she was too impatient to wait for letters. She wanted to take action and go to her father and ask her questions. Remus went inside quickly to get changed into some spare clothes, then wandered around, trying to find Kris by her scent. He found her outside, pacing around the yard. "You know, I wish you didn't care so much about what Dad has to say," he commented. "You're only making things worse for yourself by dwelling on the past. What really matters is that we found each other now."

Kris stopped pacing and looked at Remus. "Do you know what it's like to hope you get a letter from your own father on at least your birthday? After a while I felt like he forgot about me, that I was nothing but a faint memory. I have to know why I never got not even a word from him. I might have forgot about you and our parents if I hadn't kept thinking about you and them. Do you know how hurt I was every time I wrote to them and never got anything back? I have to know, Remus." Tears had formed in her eyes but she wiped them away before they could fall.

Chloe sighed. "It wasn't your fault that you did," said Chloe. "It was an accident. You couldn't help it, he shouldn't have went into the woods after them."

"Yeah, but I can't use that as an excuse. I can't blame him... I'm the one who lost control. What if I had killed him?" He ran a hand through his hair and one piece fell down over his eyes. He knew he couldn't keep dwelling on it... "Oh, well. I guess I'll see if I can talk to Coda... can you keep an eye on Dawn, and make sure Dean has something to eat?"

Tears had formed in her eyes but she wiped them away before they could fall. Remus didn't have an answer for that. "I hate that he did this," he confessed. "Especially that you were never given a chance to come home after Mom died. But don't think I had it any easier by being with him all this time. He didn't know what to do with me." He sighed. "He should have gotten rid of me instead... It would have been better for everyone."

Kris fell silent, thinking how she would have felt if their father had kept her instead of him. "I understand now why you hate him, I would have felt the same if he kept me and sent you away."

Besides, I think Karl has keeping an eye on Dawn covered," said Chloe mumbling the last sentence. "By the way Coda may say something about having something like two families. The humans, and then just a regular wolf pack. Just a heads up on that."

Zander raised an eyebrow at her tone when she mentioned Karl, but didn't say anything. "OK, thanks he said. Athena mentioned that Coda had been lving with a family of wolves in the forest. I'll talk to her now." He gave her a quick smile, then walked back into the kitchen and over to Coda. "Hey, Coda, I'm Zander. I'm the pack leader here. When you're finished eating, would you mind having a little talk with me?"
