Chapter 1
Someone once said that failure is opportunity in disguise. Is that really true? Perhaps. For some people at least. But not me. I've failed them. No, I've failed him. And there was nothing else to do. It was the end.
O-O-O-O-O
Present Day:
I sprinted through the snow covered woods. My breathing was uneven, and I was badly injured. My started to see spots, and I could barely feel my legs, but I kept running. They were right behind me. I knew they were; I could hear them, the heartless hunters with their blood covered weapons.
I glanced behind me, which was a mistake because I lost my footing and tripped, flipped over, and landed on my side; my ice-white fur blending in with the snow.
"I've got you now, mutt," a hunter sneered. He raised his knife above my heart, and brought it down in one swift motion.
-O-O-O-O-O-
One year ago:
"AMU-CHII!"
"...Huh?" I said drowsily. I rubbed my eyes and glanced at the clock. It read 6:45 AM.
My bed suddenly slanted downwards a little as one of my pack mates jumped onto my bed.
"Yaya! It's only six! Why did you wake me up so early?!" I scolded the pig-tailed brunette. She looked up at me innocently.
"I was hungry," Yaya said simply.
"THEN GO EAT!"
"I want to go hunting!" she squealed happily.
"Then go with Kairi or something," I growled.
"I already asked them all! We're all waiting for you!"
You should go with them, Amu-chan. It's been a while since you've hunted. Ran, one of my wolves said. Every werewolf has a wolf. They are what allows us to transform, they are the reason we have mates. I have three wolves, which is extremely rare.
It could do you some good to get some fresh air. Miki said.
It would be fun, desu! Suu said.
"FINE. Now get out of my room so I can change!"
"Okay!" she said. She literally hopped out of my room in excitement, forgetting to close the door. I sighed, and slowly crawled out of my bed. Well, actually it was more of a slid of my bed, as I kind of looked like a caterpillar as I slid of one side of the bed, refusing to use my limbs.
I nearly face planted on the ground, but caught myself before my precious face made contact with the hard wooden floor. I gracefully jumped up, and threw on the first thing I saw in my closet. (AN: Use your imagination. XD)
I walked down the stairs to see me entire pack fooling around in front of the door. As I was on the last steps, Nagihiko glanced up and smiled.
"Amu-chan," he greeted. Nagihiko had long violet hair, which we had made a running joke about how he could pass as a girl anytime in he tied it up and wore a skirt.
"Amu-chan. What took you so long? I'm growing a beard waiting for you," the short blond girl, a.k.a: Rima, said. Rima was my best friend and my second-in-command. She was Nagihiko's mate, which was a shock to the rest of us because when they first met, they were literally sending each other death glares and were at each others' throats. Most people called Rima cute and queen-like, but the people who actually knew her called her a comedian.
"Rima-koi, that is genetically impossible. Unless, of course, there is something you aren't telling me? Something about your gender perhaps?" Nagihiko joked.
"Why of course, Nagi. Didn't I tell you that I was a guy before the operation?" she said stoically. We all froze in shock. "Kidding. Sheesh, you guys take me too seriously."
"Well, for all we knew, it could have been true," Kairi smirked. Kairi was Yaya's mate. The expression "Opposites attract" never felt more appropriate. Unlike Yaya's childish personality, Kairi was very... serious and kind of geeky with his glasses that he never fails to push up in dramatic situations.
They were all part of my pack. Our pack of werewolves. Yes, I said werewolves. It is very rare to find a pack of werewolves as big as mine. It is a time of war right now. One could call it a World War.
In this world, there are five groups of creatures. Vampires, werewolves, daemons, humans, and spirits. Right now, the werewolves are in a gruesome war against the vampires. It wasn't a surprise, really. Werewolves and vampires have never gotten along. The daemons, being mostly benevolent creatures, tried to avoid the war as much as possible, but some chose sides and fought for them. My sister, Ami, is a daemon. As a result, her clan is on our side.
Humans were in the middle of the war. They are probably the most affected by the war because of their disadvantages of being human. And the spirits were benevolent. They offered help to everyone, but never fought. Of course, they dismissed the war as nothing to do with them, and mostly went on with their lives ignoring it.
"Are you all ready?" I asked. They nodded in response. "Then, what are you waiting for? Let's hunt."
We all grinned as we walked out of the house, which was surrounded by the dark woods filled with animals. I breathed in the crisp air of the outdoors, and transformed. My body shimmered lightly as I felt my limbs stretching and my senses heightening. My clothes disappeared, but they would reappear immediately when I turned back.
I stood on my four paws proudly and howled, my ice white fur glistening in the sunlight. My now transformed pack responded with howls of their own, throwing their heads back. I looked at my pack. Rima had gold fur; Nagihiko had gray; Yaya had brown; and Kairi had gray and black brindle patterned fur.
I sniffed the air, and smelled the blood pulsing through the veins of a large animal.
To my left, about a mile away. I told them through the pack link. We sprinted towards it, and soon saw a large deer grazing on a patch of grass. We crouched, sneaking our way silently towards the prey.
The excitement of the hunt made my heart pound. I got within three feet of it, and pounced. My powerful jaw clamped down on its neck as the rest of my pack latched themselves onto its legs and stomach.
It writhed around in pain and panicked. In one swift motion, I tilted my head and snapped its neck. It fell down, blood covering the entire carcass. The others waited as I took the first bite, ripping open its stomach to reveal the delicious meat of the kill. They dug in, and in a matter of minutes, we devoured it until only the bones and a few scraps of meat were left.
Home? I suggested.
Heck yeah. I need to crash on my bed and take a nice, long nap. Rima said. The rest agreed as we ran back home. As we neared the house, I caught a new scent. Stopping at the front door, they transformed back into human form, but I stayed wolf.
"Amu-chii?" Yaya questioned. My pack stared at me curiously. I shook my head.
You guys go on ahead. I'll be out a while. I told them. They nodded.
"Be careful, Amu," Kairi said. They went back into the house. I smelled the air again, and bounded over to the source of the new scent.
What could it be? Miki asked.
The scent became stronger as I neared the shed at the back of the house. Walking silently behind it, my breath caught as I stared at a man with midnight blue hair. He was sitting, his back leaning against the wall of the shed. Blood was seeping through his clothes.
My head was spinning as I continued to stare at the person in front of me.
Is he? Ran said.
Yes, he has to be. Miki said.
There is no doubt about it. Suu continued.
But... isn't he a...
Yes, but it doesn't change the fact that he's the one.
Who is he? I asked.
Your mate. They said in unison.
Chapter End.
Please tell me if I should keep it on Amu's POV or if I should change it to Ikuto/Amu POV?
