"But" "My choice is final" the alpha said looming over the vurnerable wolf from his high position on his ledge.
WAIT woah you can't start a story from the middle. Oh hey im Cecielus. I'm a black wolf with gold eyes and im currently sitting in a throne (Not really its just a fancy rock that sitts high above my um tribe) but I am worshiped. But I'm telling u the story of how I got here and your thinking werewolf NOPE!! I'm a crossbreed with a magnificent tribe at my paws.
It all started when Cashus was screaming in agony at giving bir.....
OH they dont need to know about my mother giving birth. continue....
Back when
OK better yet just let me tell the story. I don't know why I thought this would be a good idea.
I was out on patrol sniffing borders and marking bushes with my pack mates it was going fine and dandey when I caught the scent of a lone wolf . I turned around to report it and I had no pack mates. I looked around ferousily thinking it was a joke. "OK guys come out this ain't funny" I spotted a flash of auburn fur through the bushes. Taking in a big breath it was the lone wolf, like a mixture of mud and rotten leaves. Silently stalking him in the the berry bush I pounced into the bush making a rucas as I did. A rustle sounded above and a red wolf landed square on me splattering me on the muddy earthen floor. He jumped off knowing I was down. I let my eyes trail up his body, his muscles rippled beneath his auburn fur, puffing out his chest in confidance ,my eyes trailed further up his chisled jaw line was stong and looking into his gold eyes I fell under a spell (not a real one of course) Mate!!! my mind screamed. "oh no NO not today" I told my self I would not get a mate until I was 4 "Mate" it screamed "NO NO NO shut up stupid" I said aloud. "What?" the auburn wolf said tilting his head. Was he thinking the same thing? "Oh nothing I talk to my self, me myself and I have conversations" I said. "Wait what are you doing here?" I said astonished taking up the fighting position. I rolled my left limb to pop it back in place. My black fur stood on end at the shock of the pop. "I am uhh just errr I'm tracking a uhh"
"Well spit it out" I said ready to or for and attack. He ripped up the grass and his eyes fell to the ground. I couldn't help myself I cracked up laughing rolling on the ground, dirt covered my plushy black coat and my sides hurting badly. A low growl silenced my laughter. "she killed my sister and just kidnapped your pack mates" "Wait She?'' I babbled.
"Yes she and my name is Connor I'm a male" he said. ''if my pack mates have been kidnapped we need to tell my alpha!!!" I started to run but I could not hear foot steps behind me or leaves scuttling beneath paws. I spun around "Well are you coming" I said nodding my head towards the camp. His face twisted, his eyes bulged and his muscle tightened. "you you want me to come with" he stammered "yes you dumb tird now come on" I giggled. over dramatically. Connor stumbled the first few steps trying to find the correct footing befor breaking into a run. We ran through the forest the wind catching my fur and tugging at it. I flicked my eyes toward Connor admiring the way his muscles rippled underneath his auburn fur. Noticing that he was starring at me I stared rite back at him. SLAM!!! I fell on the ground laughing adding to the already matted layer of mud from before. "shut up Ugg that hurt." he said bringing his whitish paw up to rub his sore muzzle. "Yeah last time I checked trees were hard" I said not containing my laughter. Connor tackled me "Shut up" I easly twisted under him wavering him, I batted at the under side of the joint of the torso and leg and easly pinned him. I bent down and wispered in his ear "you forget pack wolves are trained fighters." As he struggled beneath me I leaped off and bounded toward camp. Connor was on my heals, I sped up like lightning and left him panting. I skidded to a halt making grooves in the dirt. "Well are you coming" I smirked. He let out a gust of wind and we sped off, he actually dodged trees this time. Racing into the tunnel that was simply squarely stacked twigs covered with a mound of dirt and dead leaves, the sunlight of the day vanished until we entered the clearing. My alpha, Jared came bounding down at the smell of the lone wolf, the dry dusty soil swirled at the speed making a 'golden' entrance. "why have you brought a lone wolf into our camp and where are the others" Jared spoke loudly. I hung my head but Connor only looked mystified at the sight of the camp "they were kidnapped" I said. Gasps of shock came from listening wolves, they looked at each other like their best friend just murdered their mothers. "My god it was you who kidnapped them" Jared bellowed. Jared lunged for Connor but I intercepted my alpha leaping and putting a blow to the side and hooking the front paw from under him,grappling with him fireously. "he didn't do it" I said through clenched teeth ready to rip his throat out if he tried to attack Connor again. My gaze flicked to Connor, his nails were dug into the ground and his eyes bulged. "You you think I did it?"Connor studdered. "I cant take on one of your fully trained woves let alone 3 but Panda Panther could." Connor said directly to the alpha fear knawing away at his eyes at the starred of the furious wolves around us. Jared's gaze filled with worry "Why my pack" he muttered walking away. "come on Connor lets get out of here" I statted feeling the bewildered gazes of many of my pack mates boring into my skin. I sped walked to the tunnel and ran once I got out I raced but no matter how long I ran I couldn't quench the energy or need I felt and I slowed to a walk. The sunlight flittered through the trees, the wind stirred the autum leaves, the soft patter of foot steps was calming. My limbs bursted with energy telling me to run. "are you ok" Connors voice rang. "Yep perfectly ok I only challenged my freaking alpha" I said sarcasticaly "well at least your alpha didn't get super mad and ban you or something" Connor said comfortingly."true dat" I said. I pressed my face into Connor's soft plushy fur. He layed down and i followed. Grooming each others fur we heard a POW!! we both got up and ran twigs snapping every which way but weariness draged at my body I tried to keep going but the sleepiness washed over me so fast I couldn't out run it no matter how much energy I had before, I eventually collapsed and I could see Connor running off and fading into the light of day, then every thing went black.
I awoke on a soft bed of moss that I gently sank into, over looking a large meadow filled with hundreds of wolves and large cats. My fur bristled and my muscles tightened ready to fight. but then I realized that they weren't fighting they were practicing and swapping fighting skills and having friendly conversation." what?" my mind rang. The sight was beautiful the meadow glowed from the sunlight beaming across the clearing. I could tell the grass was soft by just looking at it and small tulips bloomed every where in all different colors. My eyes filled with sunlight making the intensity grow. It was a huge clearing maybe 300 by 500ft and was encased by neatly stacked rocks. "beautiful isn't it" a calm soothing motherly voice came from behind me. I tried to stand up but fell under my weight. "oh no no no honey you don't have your strength back yet" the voice came again dripping with sweet honey. She stepped in front of me, her eyes filled with worry "I'm really sorry I had to shoot you with alca you would not exactly go with my normal plans" I looked at her confused, "What is Alca" I said kinda drowsy
"Its a type of sleeping berry" She said.
I could tell she was a cat but she had a white muzel ears and tail but the rest of her was completely black. She smiled at me calmly I'm Panda she said. She laid down and licked the dirt from my face.I pulled away "I don't under stand how did I get here" I questioned. "well um it er... why don't you get some sleep because you're gonna need to be fully awake when you find out" Panda siad sweetly I tried to stay awake for more questioning "you... you.." and my lights were out again.
"Good mourning sunshine did you sleep well?" Panther said joyfully. Sunshine who you callen sunshine? "Do you have a stream around" I asked. "of coarse sweet pea follow the tree tunnel" Would ya stop with th name callen! I looked over to where Panda nuzzled. The trees curved over me and sunlight glittered through the leaves. The soft grass felt lush beneath my paws only rustling when I took a step. Its silky light green color vibrated in my eyes,I heard the trickle of the creek ahead the calming noise drifted to my ears as I neared my destination. I walked to the bay and the mud squished between my pads. I placed my paw into the chilling water the mud had still been caked to my fur from the nights I spent with Connor, it washed off in a hazy dirty fog. I pushed through the current and rolled over letting the water drench me washing the dirt off by rubbing against the pebbles on the bottom of the creek. The once small cloud of fog was now massive and lasted for what felt like an eternity. The water finally began to wash over me crystal clear giving me the signal I was clean. Standing up and shaking off I remembered.... every thing.
The memories flooded back washing over me like a hurricane and leaving me breathless. I ran back towards the beautiful tree tunnel but slipped and landed face first in the creek. Standing up and shaking off the water I kept running. The soft green grass met my hard black pads and it was bliss for a split second, but I remembered Connor's fur. It's soft plush sent me to paradise even tough I had been crying.Gentle sunlight that came in now stung remembering the sunlight that fluttered in the woods while I walked with Connor. I busted into the clearing where Panda stood looking puzzled at my mix of emotions, furry, confusion, and mostly astonishment. Bombarding her with questions she told me every thing absolutely every thing but the last question I asked caught me off guard. "Why me" I said not knowing I was in for a lifetime. "Your the alpha" Panda said sinking her head below mine. A flash of movement flickered over the valley all the cats and dogs were bowed before me. "No" I said, I loved how the critters bowed before me and I felt like I belonged but I had a pack to get back to.
"How do I get home" I demanded I expected more reluctance but Panda answered emidetally her face fell and the others moaned, making my world quake.
"take me home now!!!" I screamed though I felt super bad for doing so because Panda drooped even more. As she showed me to my pack grounds and might as well have been dragging her head the entire time. The journey took only a few hours but it felt like days
"stop I want to hunt" I said keeping in a low voice. Panda dropped instinctively and let me take over. Now this felt natural the wind tugged at my fur. Wind blowing away from me gave me an advantage, I opened my jaws an took in a deep breath trying to locate prey. A bunny was lurking near by. I silently stalked in the swaying grass, my nose twitched because the rabbit I was stalking had no idea it was about to die 'sucker'. About 3 yards away now I wagled my haunches and lept into action. Chasing to rabitt the familiar feeling of hard grass was beneath me and the rabbits stench was so over powering as I chased it, now about a foot I took one great big leap and landed square on its shoulders, crushing it I sank my large k-9s into its throat and felt the warm blood mask my tounge. Enjoying my meal in the silent clearing with Panda was a little awkward. A twig snapped and I emideatly was alert, only that wasn't enough. Wolves poured into the clearing Panda was instantly in a tree and already gone.
I couldn't tell what my pack was attacking but their fur was raised and slobber licked at the grass as they snarled. The dry crisp grass was crushed beneath the weight of the wolves along with me. Wind was knocked out of me when a heavy pack mate named Charc trampled over my bruised rib cage, then I felt stinging teeth on my ruffled scruff. I heard my name being faintly screamed by 2 different voices. Charc walked up to me with regret filling his eyes "Alphas orders" my pack mate muttered before raising one paw.
"Charc what are you doing"
"sorry" he muttered and swung his massive maroon paw. I yelped and shuddered, then my lights went out yet again.
I awoke and a cold shimmer pulsed through me like the creek that I bathed in. What the hell? The ground was hard and dusty and I was surrounded by wooden bars on one side and a solid rock wall on the other. Two others accompaniedme in this err... cage.Connor and Panda, Wolves patrolled the camp as normal and picking bits of conversation off of each other, every once in a while they shot accusing glances at us... prisoners...."I don't get it I came back??" I questioned "I ....I came back for them.'' Charc came up to the fence like walls, his gaze shifted from me to Panda, he bowed and shook his head " you took her side of all wolves" he said but his gaze hardened on Panda, eventually turning to hatred.
"I DID NOT I came back for my pack mates" I spat in return.
"First orders were to kill her like she killed my mate"
"I couldn't do that in front of her pack"
"Pack?''
"Yes pack and Pyran is not dead she joined the pack"
"She lives??''
"Yeah Pyran lives"
"I must see her at once"
"Of you help us out of this cage we will bring you to her" Charc eyed us suspiciously and when I glanced over at Connor he was also "ok fine" Charc's words snapped me back to reality "But how do I know that Panda won't KILL me" He asked still glaring at Panda only this time his rich hazelnut eyes flickered with worry. "Yeah how do we know Panda's not going to shoot us with Alca berries, again" Connor said starring right at me. "Does it look like she is caring berries" I said cocking one eyebrow. I turned to Panda her head was drooped and her eyes were filled and suffocating in shame, trotting up to her I gave her a few comforting licks and she nodded to me gratefully.
Charc looked behind him to see his BFF Adam, sulking on his way to the water hole. "Adam!'' Charc whispered so that only Adam could hear, he nodded to a small cut out in the camp that isolated sound from every body but us "prisoners.'' "Maria your mate still lives" Charc told Adam, He layer down and went into thought. " you can see her if you help Panda, Connor and Cecilia out" Charc whispered so that I could barley hear him. Adam sat up "You mean disobey order from your alpha" Adam said suspiciously "what did those rats get into you mind" he spat. Charc rose up "did you not hear me the first time Maria still lives'' Charc busted. "I may still love Maria but she is probably an outcast by now" Adam said spitefully. "No Adam you not gettin the memo she joined a different pack" Charc said slightly more calm this time. "Why would she do that?"Adam cocked his head. ''She obviously dosen't love me any more"
"You are a hard headed butthead, Adam, she joined the pack because their pack is better" Charc said flatly.
"What do you mean better" Adam said.
"I mean better, stronger, bigger and last time I checked you promised Maria you would be right next to her when she had pups!" Adam's eyes widened.
"Fine" Adam said "I'll do it but only for Maria"
"OK here's the plan...."
"I HAVE TO PEE" I yelled as loud as I possibly could.
"I will consult Alpha Jared about this" Charc said spitefully.
"Yeah well I have to take a dump so is you could hurry that would be nice!" Connor muttered. Charc rolled his eyes and went to get Jared.
A few minutes later Charc came out of the Alpha Den and yelled "bind them with vines, Adam come with me on patrol.'' Wolves did as they were told and bound us with vines at the paws and neck. The vines were sticky and itchey and Charc and Adam practially walked us out on leashes.
"Panda lead the way" I said after Charc and Adam untied our vines. Panda straightened up and a spark filled her eye. we sped through the trees and tough grass, the forest soon turned to lush grass and rocks. I reconized the place a few meters away lay the vally in which had Big cats and Wolves. And the cliff that i had looked at the pack thing from. Panda led us down into the valley, cats and wolves bowed to me as I walked by, then into a small hole in the cliff edgethat led into a larger tunnle. The tunnel sloped up sleeply , curved, then we hoped up 2 steps and we came out through a crack and we were at the top of the cliff.
