CHAPTER ONE
“I’ve got it!” Shade squeaked.
“Hurry!” zumaridi, zamaradi barked, trying to keep up with him.
“Corner it there, quick!” Kitmira barked.
Shade turned the rabbit toward the thick thorn bushes. It was getting tired. Shade pounced; he landed perfectly on its back.
“Bite it!” Neko commanded.
Emerald lunged mbele and sunk her teeth into its neck.
“Good catch!” Mamma called.
“Did we hunt like a pack?” Kitmira asked.
“Yes, very good pups!” Shayla, their mother, walked over to examine their kill.
“Hunting already?” Their father, Smoky alisema trotting up to his mate, “They’re hardly allowed out of the pango on their own.”
“We’re old enough!” Neko announced.
“I know wewe are.” Smoky agreed, “Shayla, may I have a word with wewe please?”
“Inside the pango pups,” Shayla ordered, “you can eat your kill.”
“Alright Mamma.” Kitmira groaned. The pups dragged the rabbit between them back to the den.
“Come this way.” Shayla led her mate to a quiet spot where she could still see the pango through the trees. “What is it Smoky?”
“Something has happened,” he began, “the pack is uigizaji strange. The Alpha isn’t speaking to anyone, and all the higher ranked Mbwa mwitu loups are avoiding everyone. There have been some arguments going on too.”
“About what?” Shayla asked, after he went silent for a long moment.
“I’m not exactly sure. I try to listen, but they leave when they notice me.” He explained.
“Is that all that’s going on?”
“Mostly, I haven’t seen any violence au anything.” Smoky sighed,”I think we should get back to the pack; if the pups are old enough to hunt they’re old enough to live with the rest of the pack. It’ll be safer anyway.”
“Alright,” Shayla agreed, “But let’s wait until tomorrow.”
“Okay.” Smoky nodded, “We’ll go tomorrow.”
They walked back to the cave, trying not to onyesha their nervousness.

1.Determine how many times a week wewe eat au want to eat chocolate. It must be a number between 1 and 10, including 1 au 10.
Let's say wewe eat chokoleti 8 times a week (we won't tell).
2.Multiply that number kwa 2.
8 x 2 = 16
3.Add 5 to the awali result.
16 + 5 = 21
4.Multiply that kwa 50.
21 x 50 = 1050
5.Add the current mwaka (Gregorian).
1050 + 2011 = 3061
6.Subtract 250 if you've had a birthday this year. If wewe haven't had a birthday this year, subtract 251.
(Let's say your birthday hasn't passed yet.)
3061 - 251 = 2810
7.(Assuming wewe were born in 1975...)
2810 - 1975 = 835
8.You'll end up with a 3 au 4 digit number. The last two digits are your age (if you're under 10 years old there will be a zero before your age). The remaining one au two digits will be the number of times per week wewe eat au want chokoleti (the number wewe specified in the first step).
8 pieces of chokoleti a week, 35 years of age.

I tried to brush Dominic's hair away from his eyes. This time he let me. He had one green eye that was a completely different pattern then the black one. His eye had been replaced.
"Your lucky," I said. "I heard in 3017 they couldn't do that." I continued. "you started being able to in 3018."
"I'm not lucky." He said,"it could have just not happened."
"What did happen?"
"It's a long story. wewe wouldn't like it anyway."
"No I really would."
"No. I don't want to talk about it."
"Ok. wewe can tell me if wewe ever want to."
"Ok. Well I won't."
