Wave shot up the snowbank towards the green chugging  thing on the mountain tracks. The wind was battering his fur. He could hear wolves screaming at each other . The green thing was moving. Fast. Wave found a place to leap onto. It was so icy Wave and Oak nearly slipped off.  There was a small place to stand.
     "Help!" shouted Oak. His back paws were  touching another part of the thing that slid off suddenly. His tail got stuck on the escaping section, and he tumbled onto it.  The  section Wave was on was piled up with wolves.
     The Vine Pack! They snarled and spat.  "Rarrrrghhh! You cannot stop us! "
     Soon his section slid off by itself too.  Wave almost tumbled off but managed to maintain  his grip .         The two runaway sections promptly smashed into each other, sending the Vine pack flying.
     Back at the mountain,  Leaf heard the collision and saw the Vine pack wolves land in the deep snowbank. Her eyes grew wide.
    "What is going on?"  she wondered.
      She saw Wave.
      Her heart was pounding. She had not seen him for over nine moons.  But who was the new wolf with him?
