All Chapters of Lost to Find: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

HettyPain. So much pain! Why are we in pain? Searing and all consuming.Where are we?'Honour?'Nothing. Just like before. Crap!What's that sound? Sounds like a voice, it's low, like Kraufts, but I don't recognize it. I can't quite make out the words he's saying. I blink a few times as my surroundings rush in.I'm surrounded by trees. All I hear is blood moving behind my ears aside from the low muffled voice. I blink again and I see a face. I look around again.There's trees. A road. On the side of the road there's a car. A jeep. It reminds me of my brother's, open back and all. I push those tear forming thoughts away as I try to move.That's when I notice it. I'm not on my body, this is Honour's form. What in the world?!I look around again and find the man's face. He's older, probably about the same age as Krauft. His hands are held up, palms facing me as a sign of passivity. His dark brown curls tucked up in a beat up baseball cap and his bright blue eyes flooded with concern.I

JessI start with vitals; lung sounds, heart beat, eye check. Nothing out of the ordinary for a wolf. She seems underweight. "Could you go grab the portable scale for me?""Of course" Leo stalks off to the shed.Next up are teeth and claws. Teeth look normal, perfect even. Claws are a bit long, odd. Ears are fine. Next I run my hands along her legs to check for joint swelling, injury, or parasites; ticks, fleas, etc. Nothing. So far she's seems the picture of health, although a bit on the larger side.Leo comes back with the scale and helps me shimmy her onto it. 103.94 lbs. Not bad for an ordinary female, but she's large, she should be closer to 120-130lbs."She's definitely underweight, but otherwise healthy. She probably collapsed from hunger and exhaustion." Leo writes my assessment on my clipboard. You'd think he's a vet tech and not a carpenter. "We'll tag her, let her rest a few days, get her weight back up and let her back out."I go to stand back up and he's instantly got one

HettyI wake up to the sun in my face. I enjoy the peace. Not being poked, prodded, or tested. I can't remember the last time I was actually alone like this. Although,it feels extra lonely without Honour to talk to.Eventually Leo brings out a raw chicken breast and steamed carrots. Still better than plain oatmeal all day everyday. He doesn't really say anything and shortly after I hear the jeep's engine turn over. He must be headed to work, I wonder what he does. Dad was Beta so he didn't really have another 9 to 5 job, I can't really think of what jobs a human would have other than the ones I've seen on TV. Jess is obviously some sort of veterinarian, and with these large enclosures, chances are she's a wildlife vet.Not long after Leo is gone does Jess come out to check me again. She rubs a hand over our spine, our legs, and around our head and neck. Probably to check for parasites. I'd honestly be surprised if I didn't have a tick somewhere under all Honour's fur. Her hand stops o

JessSomeone obviously has had Hetty in their care. The quality of the tag and the encryption on it. She's been in someone's possession, but then why has she been starving? Why is she emaciated, why hasn't she been able to care for herself as she should? She seems scared that someone may be coming for her. I sit, stroking her fur while thinking about all of this until I hear a car pull up. It doesn't sound like Leo's jeep. I get up from my seat and Hetty whines. "It's alright sweetheart, it's probably just a friend or a patient." She continues to whine as I head towards the side yard to see who's here. "Can I help you?" I call out as I see a woman and two men walking from a black van to my front door. They all turn to me and the woman smiles."Hi! I'm Dr. Kaharu Carla Gainess. You can call me Carla." She smiles but there's fear in her eyes. I glance at the two men behind her. It's quite comical the juxtaposition between Dr. Gainess and the two men. She is a short, petite woman with

HonourEvonleigh sniffs before she starts talking again. "Honour, it's gotten bad. Krauft got really angry after you left. He took it out mostly on Eli. He's been asleep for a couple days now. Whatever they've been doing has made his healing slow down. Wilder hasn't been out, he's been so down, really not himself. He's usually so happy and light you know?" She rambles on as she tries to think of details about what's been happening. "Honour? Where's Hetty?""She's here. I just can't talk to her for some reason. If her experience is like mine has been lately then she is present, just blocked from me.""That's not good. Krauft is getting closer isn't he?" She sounds scared. Evie still has 3 years before she can start to connect with her wolf."Seems that way." If Krauft is able to suppress a wolf before they become present Evie may never get to meet hers. When our human halfs turn 13, us wolves become what we call present. We can access our human's memories and start to share their mind
