Chapter 4

Poor Maeve was the fear topic for many days. Alice still stayed her friend but didn't talk as much as she used to, she understood because normally if you don't have a fox mark then your a wolf and since hers is faded, they all got scared.

She still put the makeup on herself though, even though when she woke up today she only got up early and skipped school leaving a note that she -wasn't going to school today-for her parents.

She sat at a lake and stared at the water, she was in the forest close by her house and just wanted to be alone, then the bushes ruffled and shook "whose there!?"

She growls and out came a small tan fox that turned into her human form, "oh it's just you Alice, why are you here aren't you scared of me too?"

Alice breathed in and said "hell no I'm not"

Maeve blinked, Alice had never said anything close to a cuss word before.

"I may be a little mad and a tiny bit scared but my love for my best friend is stronger and I...I can never fear you enough to leave you alone!"

Maeve smiled and tears ran down her cheek, she jumped up and hugged Alice making her jump a bit. "Thank you, and I swear I'll make it up to you"

Alice smiled and said "I know you will, that just who you are"

Alice grabs Maeve's hand "which is why there hasn't to be something else, maybe your not part wolf, maybe it's a small birthmark defect or something"

Maeve shook her head "I don't know what it is but I have been wondering what it was my whole life, even my grandparents didn't know what it was"

Alice remembered something from history "you know how this whole war started right?"

Maeve nodded not getting the hint.

Alice facepalmed herself "the baby was never found Maeve!"

Maeve jumped up at first but then sat back down "no that happened 116 years ago, and plus they said that they did find a young Cubs body"

Alice rolled her eyes "they found a wolf one that was barely alive and so they killed it to end its suffering, and the years may make it different but you look mostly like a fox Maeve, the only marble fox ever since 116 years ago, and your 16"

Maeve thought about that "I don't know maybe"

Just then Maeve's grandparents came down running a bit "Maeve you must run now!"

Maeve and Alice jumped in surprise and confusion, "The wolves are coming for you, you must hide!"

Maeve's went blank "w-wolves? A-after me? Why?"

Her grandmother put her hand on her shoulder "because they found out you're there lost hybrid wolf from 116 years ago!"

Maeve's went big and she fell to her knees.

"I'm the lost half-wolf..princess"
