Scapegoat and an Unlikely Angel
The yip of the coyotes could be heard along the forests edge that I ran along. My legs pumped and my heart raced. My silver fur almost blending in with the snow I trampled upon in my graceful dash. Black rimmed piercing yellow eyes roamed the frozen landscape before me and my footfalls came to black tipped silver ears along with the yipping that got louder as I moved along. A scent invaded my sense of smell as I got closer, fresh kill. I growled at the sensation it gave me. The rush of the hunt was something I loved and the smell of a new kill was hard to overpass but I must move. I can't get caught. My paws carried me on past the delicious scent and the air returned to a mix of pine trees and snow.
Another sound reached me as I heard the cracking of a firearm. Shit. They were getting closer. Those Ra forsaken two legs. I pushed myself. It didn't matter that I had been running for over an hour, it didn't matter that my legs were threatening to give out right from under me, all that mattered was that every breath I took could be my last and I had to get back. The pack couldn't live without me. I was too vital and yet here I was, the scapegoat, running for my very life to save the pack and their leader who had treated me so poorly.
A rock high-rise appeared before me. Damn. I looked left and then right at the forest and the open plain of ice. The pack was in the forest, warm in the den, safe. Safety was left towards the pack until the two legs caught up. Pack safety and almost certain death were for me to the right. Cursing I ran to the right. I hoped that the new born pups were ok. I had thought they wouldn't live without me but who am I kidding? They can find a new scapegoat; one that was more talented and wouldn't get caught. I ran and jumped over a bank of snow and landed…on ice. I had landed on ice. How stupid! My feet scratched the surface looking for some purchase on the slick substance. My legs gave out when they found none and I sprawled onto the ice shelf.
"Grrrr-Chichik-gggg." The sound of the two leg's contraption sounded behind me and my eyes glazed over in fright as I fought for purchase on the ice. The sound was clouding my brain and I was frantically trying to make it to the other bank that was a few feet away and just out of reach. The sound was getting louder and my mind more and more frantic. My heart beating painfully against my ribcage I closed my yellow eyes and tucked my silvery black tipped ears. I hadn't wished to go this way. I had wanted a litter of pups and my first mate and a fresh deer kill. I had wanted to see the new litter back home grow up. There had been a very promising black and silver female. Damn it, why? Why me? I heard the shout of men in a foreign tongue. I waited for the end, a harsh painful and bitter end and an end to a life barely begun.
The machinery stopped and I waited shaking. Warm arms slipped around my chest and I flinched in fright but all I got in return was a worried whisper in my tucked ear. The warm arms lifted me off of the ice shelf and put me on the nearby bank and continued to hold me. A hand, the strange misshapen paws that the humans sported, made its way to my side and started stroking from the base of my neck to the beginning of my tail and back again. I slowly opened one of my tightly closed eyes and was faced with an abundance of snowy white hair. I felt a rumble go through me and I noticed that the human holding me was talking to the others who sat on the eerie machines. He sounded angry and demanding. The others sounded the same but they got on their machines and rode off anyways. I opened both my eyes and untucked my ears and looked around the now empty bank on the other side of the lake.
Warm hands were put on the sides of my muzzle and two chocolaty orbs stared into my wolf yellow ones. The man with snow white hair smiled at me and giggled. He said some words in his foreign tongue and then pointed at me, "Bakura," he said. I understood that to be the name he posted me with as he pointed to himself, "Ryou." He giggled again and petted my head standing up. Some more words followed in his strange tongue and he motioned for me to follow him.
This Ryou didn't seem like the other humans, the kind that tended to hurt you if they got too close. Also he had saved me; I owed him. Deciding it wouldn't hurt the pack for me to be gone for a while I trotted close to Ryou's heels as he led me to someplace new.
Review PLZ!!!!!! I am begging you! I need to know how I did! Thanks. Til later peeps!
