Long, long ago,
somewhere in Canada, there lived a gray wolf pack. One young
teenage male wolf named Cody, liked adventure and surprises,
but most of all he hated girls. Now one day he was walking
alone, trying to catch something, and all of a sudden he spied
a beautiful young female. Will Cody give up his pack? Will
he start his own pack?
Cody could not
believe his eyes. She was the most beautiful female he had
ever seen. It appeared her name was Kelsi, and she loved him
back. Kelsi went over a small mountain and started to dig.
She was making a den for their pups. Will Kelsi's pups die
before birth?
Kelsi sat down
in the den about to have her pups. She had a total of three
pups. Their names were Summer, Star and Kirstin and they were
all females. When the pups were finally born, Kelsi started
to feed Summer, Star and Kirstin, but then Kelsi saw her ex-boyfriend
and he was furious. Will Kelsi's ex-boyfriend kill Cody? Will
Kelsi hate Cody?
Kelsi's ex-boyfriend's
name was Taho, and of course he was furious. Cody saw him
and started growling while Kelsi sat in the den protecting
Summer, Star and Kirstin. Taho leaped for Cody and injured
him in his eye. Taho leaped away feeling good that he injured
Cody, but before Taho came, Kirstin had just opened her eyes
and saw the whole thing. Will Cody die?
Kirstin saw what
Taho did and boy was she mad. She said to herself, "I
hope he doesn't injure my dad again," she said and she
meant it. Then, all of the sudden, Summer opened her eyes
and she was happy as a clam. Kirstin explained that Taho had
injured their dad and Summer was mad. Will Kirstin try to
kill Taho?
Kirstin and Summer
walked out of the den "mad as a bull with a tack in his
throat." Cody started walking towards the den very, very
tired while Kelsi went in with him. While Kelsi and Cody slept,
Kirstin and Summer started planning Operation Something. Will
their plan work out?
Star finally opened
her eyes while Summer explained what happened to their dad.
Kirstin set up the mud while Summer explained to the hornets
what they were doing. The hornets agreed to the plan and talked
about it. Suddenly Taho came and slipped! Will Taho be singing
"I believe I can fly?"
Taho slipped in
the mud and went sailing down through the waterfall into the
hornet's nest, and Taho came out really hurt and ran back
to his pack. When Taho was finally healed, he went with his
pack to confront his worst enemy, Cody. What will happen to
Cody?
Taho's pack jumped
out of the bushes and surrounded Cody, while some of the other
wolves surrounded Kelsi. One blocked the den with Summer,
Star and Kirstin in it, but since they were pups they managed
to slip through the guard in front of the den and escaped.
What will they do to help their parents?
Summer, Star and
Kirstin started to think of a plan to help their parents,
and do you know what they thought of? Operation Wolftrap and
this is what they planned. The whole wolf pack would trip
over a log and into the human traps they found lying around
somewhere. Will the wolf pack die?
Their plan was
set up and ready to go, but then the wolf pack came along
ready to attack, and guess what they tripped over the log
and fell into the human traps like they planned. Everyone
died except Taho and he was definitely going to kill Cody,
he wasn't going to give up, "No Siree." Is Taho
so mad he will kill himself?
Well...Then a
terrible thing happened, ten minutes after the fight, Taho
did kill himself and Cody was so happy he had a party. But,
after an hour or two they heard that Taho's cousin, Orilo,
had planned to destroy Cody, Kelsi, Summer, Star and Kirstin,
but Cody's pack was ready to battle. Will Cody defeat Orilo?
Orilo and Cody
and their packs met at an open place, "The Arena,"
they called it and it was slippery.! They started to fight.
The leaders Cody and Orilo stood on two separate rocks above
the others. Cody was very sad, and Orilo was excited. Will
Cody's pack die?
Well the battle
was finally won. Ten of Orilo's friends were injured and none
of Cody's friends were injured so Cody won! Then, all of a
sudden Cody was joined by his family. They returned to their
home in Canada and had a very good and happy life.
