Chapter Summary[]

Lucky's Point of View[]

The Leashed Dogs lead Lucky to their houses. Lucky wonders why the longpaws haven't come back since they don't like to leave their friends. The Leashed Dogs are talking about how they were always friends and lived on the same block. They say they can't wait until their longpaws come back and they can play again.

Lucky asks if they had a Pack. Sunshine says they don't have a Pack, not like wild Pack. Mickey says they kind of did since they hung out together and sometimes ate together. Lucky doesn't say anything, but he thinks that doesn't make them a Pack. Sunshine starts to talk about their longpaws coming back. Bella looks doubtful, but doesn't say anything.

All of a sudden the dogs say good-bye to each other and start to walk into separate houses. Lucky is very confused. He see that the houses are very dangerous and asks Bella about them. Bella says that the Big Growl is gone and they are fine. Lucky still doesn't believe it, seeing wire snakes, the ones that almost killed Old Hunter.

Bella leads Lucky into her longpaw house. Lucky doesn't think that it is that bad and he does feel a bit free walking around. Lucky tries to open the cold box and Bella said she tried to get it open before. She said she ate everything she could find the first day and that she was sorry. Lucky told her it was okay since she didn't know any better.

After Lucky tries to open the cold box again, he finds Bella in a corner. She is standing over some longpaw trinkets and nuzzling them. She tells Lucky she is just tired and they help her sleep. Lucky thinks she is kind of embarrassed to admit she still loves her longpaws.

Lucky and Bella settle down for the night on Bella's cushion. Lucky smells a bad smell, a one he smelled before the Big Growl. He tells Bella he can not sleep in the longpaw house. Bella tells him it is fine and the Big Growl already passed.

Then Bella begins to have some doubts. Before she can state them the ground begins to tremble and both Bella and Lucky bolt out of the house. They are about to go warn the other dogs but the others run out of their houses.

Then Martha and Daisy start to head back to their own houses while the ground is still trembling. Lucky tells all the dogs to come together, being very aware that the dogs are looking at him like he is their Alpha. The ground stops trembling and the Leashed Dogs still do not move. Lucky is proud of them since they do not assume all is well.

After the ground stops shaking, a longpaw house right next to Bella's falls down. All the dogs can see is clouds of smoke. The Leashed Dogs begin to let out mournful howls and Lucky asks why. Bella tells Lucky that Alfie is trapped in that house.
