Wolf's Rain 2

Dawn Of A New Era

"Shita! Dinner!" my mother, Selene called out. I looked up from my drawing and smiled brightly. Hello, my name is Shita Wolf. I'm 8 years old, almost 9 and I'm in elementary school. I live on the 5th floor apartment building with my father and mother. My favorite animal is the white wolf and I hate the snow. I have hazel eyes and brown hair.

"Coming Momma!" I yelled back. I threw my crayon onto the ground and scrambled to my feet. I ran to the kitchen and slid across the tiled floor. I grunted as I crashed into my father's chest. My father, Ryan chuckled and balanced me.

"Hello Shita. Nice of you to stop by" he teased with a smile. I glared at him and walked over to the table and sat down. Momma laid a plate of dinner in front of me and sat down herself with father at her side. I picked up my fort with a grin and dug it into my rice. I stiffened as it neared my mouth. My father frowned when he saw me.

"Shita? What's wrong?" he asked. I shook my head and dropped my fork and stood. I ran to the living room window and looked out into the rain. My breath paused as I saw a black figure running down the road, his black coat trailing behind him as his shoes splashed in the rain. He had a pained look on his face as he ran. His white shirt was getting soaked and his blue jeans covered in mud.

"Shita! Dear, what's going on?" Momma yelled out to me. I was silent and then shook my head.

"Nothing momma. Just saw something.... that's all" I said and returned to my family.

Episode One

"Mom! I'm going to the park!" I yelled. I was nine as of yesterday and I was allowed to the park by myself now. Momma Selene stuck her head out of the kitchen and nodded.

"Okay, dear" she answered "Just be home by dinner" I nodded and grabbed my Hello Kitty jacket and slipped it on.

(Break)

I sighed as I walked down the streets of New York city. It was cold and the park was about ten minutes away, leaving me only fifteen minutes to play.

"Blue baby! Wait up!" I lifted my head and side stepped as I a adult man ran past me. His dull orange hoodie swung behind him. His blue sweats were soaked with mud and I got a whiff of hot dogs when he pasted me. A lady wearing long leather black jacket and a bright red scarf stopped at her name and turned.

"Hige, your late" she drawled with a glare as she crossed her arms and looked at him. Hige smiled sheepishly and crossed his arms behind his back.

"Sorry Blue. I forgot my collar and had to run back to get it" he explained. Blue nodded and kissed his cheek in understanding.

"Let's go, Hige" she said and turned. He walked at her side and wrapped his arm around her waist. My eyes widened as something slipped from his pocket and landed on the sidewalk. He didn't notice and continued to walk. I ran to the slip of paper and picked it up. I looked around for Hige and Blue and saw them turning the corner. I ran after them, dodging around people and slipping around the corner. Hige and Blue were looking into a clothing store window.

"You can do this" I whispered to myself. I was a shy person, I hate going up to people and talking but once I get to know you.. I was so annoying. I stumbled over to them and tugged on Hige's sleeve.

"Excuse me?" I murmured. Hige looked down in surprise and smiled down at me.

"Hello Little miss" he said "What's wrong?" I handed him the piece of paper. He took it and opened it. His eyes widened and he slipped the paper in his pocket.

" Your a life saver" he said. I blushed and backed away.

"It was nothing. Just doing my good deed for the day" I muttered and turned before he could say anything else. I ran away from them and crossed the road to the park. I jogged over to the swing and jumped on it and started to play.

(Break)

I was in so much trouble. I'm probably going to get grounded for months! It wasn't my fault that I didn't notice that the sun was going down but I did notice when the street light blinked on. I was past my curfew. I clicked the cross walk button and waited as the light turned red.

"Stupid Hige, making me late" I whispered with a glare. The crossing sign clicked green.

I skipped across the road and down the sidewalk towards my home. I had to cross another road to get to the apartment. I looked both ways and walked across. I heard a screeching noise and turned sharply. A bright light was heading towards me. I screamed and covered my eyes. I felt a light bump on my leg and no pain.

"Fuck kid! What the hell are you doing in the middle of the road!" a gruff voice yelled at me. I opened my eyes and blinked a few times. A black and gray motorcycle was looking me in the eyes and an angry rider was glaring at me.

"Well kid! You going to answer me or not!?" he shouted. The man yanked his black helmet off. He had gray short hair and he was in all leather. He also had a nasty looking scar on his chest. My eyes widened and I opened my mouth.

"Sorry... I didn't see you coming" I stuttered. He snorted and snapped his helmet back on.

"Move kid" he ordered. I jumped back as his bike roared to life and he sped off, leaving me in a cloud of dirt. I coughed and waved the dust away and continued home.

(Break)

I winced as I opened the door and saw both of my parents glaring at me in anger. I smiled innocently and closed the door behind me.

"Hello Mom... Hello Daddy" I said innocently. Mom glared and crossed her arms.

"Shita Emily Alice Wolf! Where on earth have you been!?" she screeched. I grinned sheepishly and slipped my jacket off and hanged it on the coat hanger.

"Sorry Mommy. I didn't notice the time" I explained. Mother glared at me and pointed down the hall.

"Bed Missy" she ordered. I nodded and ran for my room. I closed the door behind me and walked back over to my recent drawing and picked it up. There was six wolves on the picture that looked like they would jump out of the paper. Leading the small pack was a large white wolf with intelligent and knowing eyes. On his right was a gray wolf with a nasty looking scar.

To the right of the gray wolf was a small brown wolf silver rings on his leg. On the alpha's left was a pudgy beige wolf with a brown leather collar. His mate was a pure black wolf that had a determined look in her eyes. The last one I drew was the most difficult. She was the pup of the pack with red fur with a lighter red muzzle, chest, and underbelly that snaked the under length of her with a light dipped tail. Her face was eyeless. I have tried a dozen time to get her eyes right. The red pup was in front of the alpha, running in an playful meaner.

"This sucks" I whispered and placed the picture on my desk. I groaned and flopped down on my bed and covered my eyes with my arm.

(Break)

I grunted in frustration and threw my pencil across my desk.

"Miss Wolf. Is there a problem in my lesson?" Mrs Degre said. I looked up and offered her a smile.

"No Mame" I said. She nodded and turned back to the chalk board. I looked down at the drawing and glared at it. Another picture of the wolves. This time they were howling at the full moon in a bed full of white flowers. The white wolf was standing on a small cliff side and the other 4 were under him. The black female didn't fit into the picture. Again the red female had no eyes. The school bell ran and I placed the picture inside my binder and my binder in my backpack.

"See you next week class" Mrs Degre said. I waved to her and ran out of class. It was a ten minute walk to the apartment and it was snowing. The first snow fall in new York City.

"Can you believe it Shita? Snow!" Ruus yelled as he stomped in the snow in his black boots. I laughed and pushed him down in the frozen water. He fell with a grunt and looked up at me innocently.

"Your such a dork" I teased. He blushed and rubbed the back of his head.

"And your a girl" he said back. I shook my head and offered my hand. He grabbed it and I helped him up.

"Russ! Russ!" Ruus and I looked to the sound and saw his father waiting for him. Russ's mother died giving birth.

"Bye Shita!" he said and raced for his father. He gave Mr. Quent a hug and waved to me as they got into the van. I waved back and watched them go.

"Time to head home" I whispered to myself. The parking lot and school park was empty and the snow was falling more rapidly. I zipped my jacket up and slid my backpack onto my back. I started home.

(Break)

I shivered and looked down the street. The snow was blinding my eyes and the melted water soaked my boots.

"Next time mom asks if I want a ride.. I'm saying yes" I muttered. I placed my feet on a patch of ice and tripped. I yelped and closed my eyes, waiting for the impact. Warm hands caught me and steadied me. I opened my and saw a concerned brown eyes starring down at me.

"Are you Okay?" he asked in a gentle voice. My heart thumped in my chest as my brain screamed at me to never let him go. I nodded and his arms fell around me.

"That's good" he said with a smile. He seemed around 16 with brown hair and a thick winter coat.

"Thanks for catching me" I said. He continued to smile and nodded.

"Sure. No problem! My name is Toboe, I'm visiting here for the winter before going back home" he gave me his hand. I shook it and replied.

"Shita Wolf" Toboe's eyes widened at the name.

"That's a very pretty name" he said. A blush spread across my face and I let go of his hand.

"Thanks' Toboe but I got to go. My parent's will be worried" he nodded and waved to me.

"Bye Shita"

"Bye Toboe" I walked away from him. My soul seeming to break with each step. "Mom! I'm home!" I yelled as I threw open the front door. My mom frowned when she saw me.

"Hello honey.... what's wrong?" she must have noticed my flushed cheeks. I shook my head but smiled.

"Nothing mom, I just met someone is all" I replied and ran off into my room. I threw my backpack to the ground and unzipped my bag. I grabbed my new wolf picture and taped it to my wall were dozens more laid. I smiled up at the one where a large white wolf and the small red wolf curled up against each other if he was protecting her from the world.

"Your still working on them?" A disbelieving voice said from my door. I turned and saw my father standing in my door way. I snorted and nodded.

"Of course. I love these wolves. I met someone today that reminded me of one of my wolves" I pointed to the small brown wolf "His new name is Toboe" my father smiled and shook his head.

"But I like the name Runt" he teased. I scowled, he always calls the brown wolf Runt. Much to my displeasure.

"Leave Toboe alone" I growled. Dad laughed and left.

5 Months Later

"Mom! You can't!" I yelled with tears on my eyes. My mom stood in front of me with a suitcase in her hands and a frown on her face.

"I'm sorry Shita but your father and I can't... and won't stand each other" she said firmly. I shook my head as tears fell from my eyes. My mom and dad has been fighting for years. I thought they would get better and quite fighting, I was wrong. Mom was leaving and she was forcing me to go with her. Leave my friends and my home to go live with my grandparents who live days away.

"Pack your bags and meet me outside in five minutes" She said and walked out the door. I turned to my father. He was sitting on the couch with his head in his hands.

"Dad!" I pleaded.

"Go with your mother Shita" he whispered. He didn't even look up. I shook my head and bounded out the door in a sprint. I ran pass my mother with my head bowed.

"Shita! Young lady! Get back here!" I heard her yell. I ignored her and turned down an alley way that led to a small park. My heart started to break in my chest as my tears ran in rivers. I opened my eyes for a split second and saw a white flower in the corner of my eyes. My hear thudded painfully once again, it felt like it would rip from my chest. I lifted my head and let out a yell of pain of anguish. My foot slipped on a pop can and I fell with a thump on the hard cold cement. I fell on my side and skidded. My back hit the wall and I stayed there with my eyes closed. I must have stayed still for hours. I felt at piece. I was warmer then I have ever been in a long time.

"Awe! Mommy! Look at the puppy!" I heard a voice yell. I opened my eyes and saw a little boy hovering over me. He had a wide smile on his face and his hands out towards me.

"Brady! Leave the mutt alone!" His mother scolded. She grabbed Brady's arm and yanked him away. I lowered my ears in disgust.... wait.... ears!? I stood up in panic and tripped over my feet. I landed with a thump and yelped. I looked down at my hands and saw dog paws in there place.

'What the hell is happening!?' I howled. I turned around and saw a long, flowing tail sweeping behind me. I crawled over to a rain puddle and looked in. A light brown wolf was staring back at me, it's golden eyes gleaming in the dark alley, large ears folded down on the wolf's head. I lifted my hand and the wolf in the puddle lifted it's paw. I nodded my head and it copied me. I sat down with a thud and in shock. I was a wolf. The same wolf from my pictures. I shook my head and stood. I had to get out of here. I clumsy walked back out the alley, it was hard to walk but I started to get better at it. I galloped home, my body slinking around people with ease. I looked like a medium sized dog, so it wasn't hard to move around New York City.

"How dare you keep her from me!? How dare you tell me to leave without her!" I heard my mother's voice from a block over. I skidded to a stop and my ears perked.

"I have no idea where she is! And I told you to leave because she could be gone for hours! I can't stand to see you for another minute!" My father yelled back. My tail lowered and it brushed the ground. I started to run towards them. I saw them within seconds. They were standing in front of the Apartment building with suitcases littering on the ground and taxi parked on the side walk.

'Mom! Dad!' I howled again. My voice came out in whimpers and barks. They turned to look at me and mother got an furious look on her face.

"Ryan! Get this filthy animal away from me!" She screeched and gave me a kick in the ribs. I yelped in pain as her heel stabbed my side. I turned and ran with my tail in between my legs. I was scared and in a panic. I dashed to the only other safe place I knew. The park. The sun was just setting so the small playground was empty. I galloped over to the small tunnel and crawled inside, my small puppy body easily getting in. I curled up and laid my head on my paws as my tail swept up over my muzzle. I closed my eyes as whimpers escaped my mouth in a soft pitch. I felt the sun go down and a chill go down my spin.

(Break)

"See! I told you Zali!" I heard a voice boast. I opened my eyes warily and looked up. My eyes widened and my ears folded down in fear. A large dark gray wolf was hovering over me with light gray wolves behind him. My brain screamed at me to stand and run but my legs were shaking to hard to move. The dark gray wolf lowered his head and stared at me with perked ears and straight tail.

"So, there are wolves other then us in the city after all" He said. My lips raised by themselves and I let loose a small pathetic growl. He threw his head back and laughed. The wolves behind him follow. I didn't have time to blink before I found myself on my back with the Zali's fangs at my throat. I yelped and struggled against him. All he did was squeeze down tighter.

"Hold still pup and I won't kill you" He murmured. I froze. He dragged me out and threw me into the middle of the pack. I landed with a thud on my side. I shifted my limbs out and lifted my head. One of the larger light gray wolves leered down at me with a smirk.

"Hello pup. Where is the rest of your pack? And what are you doing on out territory?" he snarled. I whimpered loudly and bowed my head.

"Moss! Leave her alone!" I female voice scolded. I jerked as I felt the soft movement of a tongue licking across my head.

"It's okay little one. We won't hurt you" She soothed. I sat up and cuddled my head against her thick, soft throat. I heard a sigh.

"Cole, your to soft" Zali grunted. Cole snorted and nuzzled me back.

"She's so tiny, Zali and frightened" she argued. She looked down at me with soft brown eyes. Her fur was a pale brown.

"Where is your pack?" She asked. I shook my head and whimpered.

"I don't have one. I thought I was a human till just a few hours ago" I replied. Cole gave me a confused look and then looked at her pack.

"What about your parents?" Zali questioned. I shrugged. Zali sighed and sniffed by body. I wiggled away from him.

"You have a human scent on you" He murmured. He straightened and looked at his pack.

"Moss, Take her scent and fan out around the city with five. Scott, take another 5" he ordered. Moss hesitated but nodded. They caught my scent and galloped away.

"Cole, take her back to the den" Zali said. Cole nodded and picked me gently up in her muzzle. I shivered at the feel of her fangs at my neck but stayed still.

"Hold still pup" She muttered around me. Cole picked up her paws and dashed off. I wanted wrap my hands around something but I could only hang. I wobbled from her mouth as she stalked through the streets. Cole must have carried me for over half an hour out of New York city until she finally stopped. She trotted up a well worn path and I saw a light ahead of us. She stopped and dropped me at her paws. I shook my head and stood.

"Let's go" She said. She slowly walked into a small forest and it opened up into a field. A old brick house stood in the middle of the clearing.

"This is home" She said and padded up the walkway and up the front stairs. I followed after her on wobbly paw and hopped up the stairs. Cole pushed opened the door. The floor was hardwood and the walls were decorated with light wallpaper. The lights flickered on when we stepped in.

"The pack consists of fourteen wolves. I'm the only female and one of the alphas. Zali is the alpha male. Moss is second" Cole explained. She led me up a winding staircase, we passed numerous doors on the way up. I was panting when we reached the top.

"This is Zali's and my room. You will share it with us until we find your parents" She said and pushed another door. The master bedroom consisted of a king sized bed and numerous chairs and couches and pillows. One of the windows on the right side of the room filled the whole wall.

"It's nice" I said. She smiled and nodded and then what she did next shocked me. Cole stood on her hind legs and turned human. I stumbled back and landed on my bottom. Cole turned, her brown hair swept over her brown eyes. She wore a body length black coat and a light blue sweater and black jeans.

"What's wrong?" she asked in confusion. I shook my head.

"You can turn human too?" I questioned. She nodded.

"Of course. All wolves can. We deceive the humans around us. We can't just go out in public like a wolf" She explained.

"Can I go back to human?" I asked with hope. She shook her head. I sighed and bowed my head.

"You can but not right now. Your confused and upset" she assured. I wagged my tail. Cole grabbed some pillows and threw it onto a love seat.

"Your probably tired. You can sleep here until Moss and Scott gets back" She soothed and picked me up. I yawned tiredly and snuggled into the throw pillows after Cole placed me down. I tucked my tail against my warm body and closed my eyes.

"Goodnight Pup" Cole whispered.

(Break) (4 Am)

"We found where her scent was the strongest but no den could be found" I slowly returned to the land of the living with Moss's voice. I opened my eyes tiredly and saw most of the pack in the master bedroom.

"The only wolf scent we found was very old. Must have been about Five, six years old" Moss continued. A silence went through the room. I felt a male hand sweep over my back.

"Poor pup. Her parents must have gave her to the humans. Never knowing she was a wolf" Zali whispered. I groaned and stretched my back legs out.

"Zali please, she has to stay with us. Her parents are human and they have no idea how to deal with her" Cole pleaded. I yawned and snuggled further into the warm pillows.

"Your right Cole. She needs us" Zali agreed. I heard a murmur of agreement before sounds of movements.

"Goodnight Zali, Cole" I heard a male voice say. A door shut seconds later. Zali and Cole moved around the room before it went dark. I opened my eyes and saw Zali and Cole, as a wolf jump into the bed.

"We have to teach her to be a wolf. Hunt, track and fight" Zali murmured. Cole nodded and snuggled up to her mate. I closed my eyes and went back to sleep.

Just a little something I came up with. Please, no flames.
