This is the prologue people, calm down if you want to see the famous four right away...


The air was crisp and light against my skin as I ran with the pack. My feet touched ground for a millisecond before I bounded into the air again, only to land on all fours and continue running. In my chest, my heart pounded and my blood sang. I could hear my brothers and sister's racing breaths as we all gave chase to the prey in front of us.

A young doe. She had wandered away from the herd. A small meal, but it had to be enough for breakfast. My mother raised her head slightly and let out her hunt call. We all joined with her, our voices rising to the branches above us. All of us were ready, and more than ever, we were all hungry.

Without missing a beat, I kept up with the pack. It never mattered to me if I did look different from my family as long as I could keep up with the hunt. We all did this as a family. No one was ever left behind. Unlike this doe.

With a surge of energy and a mighty lunge, my mother managed to nip at the doe's hind legs. This made the creature cry out in a high-pitched whine. She knew her end was near. My brothers and sisters finally caught up to mother and managed to sink their teeth into some part of the doe. They tried weighing her down, trying to get her onto the soft, moist, earth. I lunged at her and sunk my own teeth in, but I was never able to do as much damage as the rest of the pack. This never discouraged me, though.

The doe kicked and whined, trying to get free, desperately trying to live. My mother went to her neck, bit down on her throat, and held on. Not much time passed and the doe was dead. The hunt was over. We had food for the morning and maybe having it last until nightfall. As one, we all raised our heads and gave our voices to the sky. We were thanking everything and everyone for our meal. The family's cry of a successful hunt.

As my mother took the first bite, the rest of the family started ripping and tearing at the doe. I didn't move, though. It was the rule that I ate last since I was the runt of the pack. This never made me bitter as it was the rule, and I obeyed every one of them. In the meantime, I went and scavenged on berries and eatable plants to tie me over.

I wandered about ten feet from the pack, all the while keeping a watchful eye on them, as I just explored. We had just recently wandered into new territory in our hunt for food. Food had become scarce in our territory, and there didn't seem to be any greater amount in this part either. This was quite a problem since the pack was expecting more pups. My new cousins.

A few leaves flittered down from the branches, scattering helplessly on the ground. I kept walking with growing curiosity of this new land. My hands sunk into some thick mud, and it actually took me a few tries to get it out. Not wanting that incident happening again, I stood up on two legs. This is what I meant by me being different from the pack. I had hands instead of paws, I was clumsy on two legs while they were graceful on all fours, and I was covered in soft, pale flesh while they were protected in soft, beautiful fur.

Without realizing it, I had wandered a greater distance from the pack than what I expected. I heard my mother's worried voice calling to me through the trees, so I hurried back right away. Calling back to her, I wanted her to know I was all right and I was hungry for the meal. Berries, nuts, and plants were okay occasionally, but I liked meat the most.

A light blue hue had just begun to color the sky as a sickening, exploding sound cracked the air like thunder. I dropped to the ground immediately and searched for the source of the noise. Nothing, I saw nothing! Just as I thought it was safe to stand, the sound cracked the air again and a chunk of the tree exploded by my head from a bright blue light. I yelped loudly and soon I heard the worried cry of my mother and the rest of the pack.

"Where did it go? Is it over there?"

"I think it was a girl!"

Crawling at first, I took cover behind some trees and took off over the ground on all fours. "Rose whip!" A giant vine lashed out from my right and nearly caught me, but my aunt shoved me out of the way just in time. We both went sprawling through the air before landing and sprinting away from the attacking vine.

We were in full dash. I had to run on two legs just to keep up with them as even my younger cousins ran past me. Never before had I ever felt like this. It was horrible! My heart was racing, but not like that of a hunt where it felt good to have my heart pumping. This was something else. There was a smell in the air that was making the hair stand up all over my body. Danger. I was smelling danger!

"Come on! It's getting away!"

"Wolves! It's with the pack there!"

"Use the net!"

I heard something explode in the air again, but this time something closed around my mother and me. It forced us to the ground and stuck to us like a giant spider web! The more my mother and I struggled, the tighter it wound around us, wrapping us in into a cocoon. I snarled, I whined, I howled, I tried everything and nothing worked. Mother was trying even harder as the pack waited from a distant. They didn't know what to do as something seemed to scare them. Looking up through the holes, I saw four ugly, two-legged creatures. Humans!

Now I was snarling and growling even louder as I tried clawing through the web. All the while, the ugly humans stared at me, their putrid scent wafting down over us. Humans are bad! They kill wolves! They'll hurt mother! I was not fond of humans, knowing the things they did, seeing first-hand the horrible acts of killing against fellow brothers and sisters of the west and east.

"Oh my god, it's a girl!"

"Come on, we'll have to take her back to Koenma." They reached down to grab something near my face. I wrenched myself to the side and bit the offending hand. "Ow! Hey! You wild animal!"

"Leave her alone and come on!" They grabbed the rope and started to drag us. I had to get mother out of here! Biting at the web around her, I managed to get the web loose enough for her to thrash out of. In her doing so, I was tangled up even more.

"Hey! The wolf!"

"Leave her."

Mother tried attacking the humans who had me captive, but one of them simply held out their hand and fire erupted from their palm. This made mother stop in her tracks and retreat. She and the rest of the pack came running back, trying to get them. The human with fire kept them away. I was kicking, screaming, howling, and biting. Nothing was working as I saw a giant, glowing circle in the air. We were headed for it. I tried thrashing harder; fearing the glowing circle, but nothing worked, and I could tell the humans were getting mad at me.

"Knock it off girl! Can't you tell we're helping you?"

Right before we entered the circle, I opened my mouth and howled mournfully to my pack as I heard them cry back. I was captured, stolen away from my family.

Why?
