.:OOC:. I would like to apologize for all those who have read my Wolf's Rain: Path to Paradise fic and reviewed since I have taken it off of I found that I was completely clueless about my own story and figured it would be better to start off with a new plot and new, which doesn't mean I will play a few of my old, made-up characters. I hope this fanfic is better than my last, and thank you for all who read and review it!
Btw, like my old story, I made a female wolf fo each male wolf. Sorry, but I can't stand Cheza, and Blue is alright to me, but that is how I am writing my fanfic, so just leave me be. :P
Chapter 1. Discovery
Silence befelled the cities as night settled itself in once more. Silence. A word that could be deafening to one's auds. This young brujo did not like it. This was not a good sign.
"Where's Kiba, and Hige, and Tsume?" he questioned himself. Snow flew wildly from beneath padded mitts as frame pushed on. His russet coat ruffled up in the snowy breeze. Immediately, he took shelter in an old alley way, shaking his coat and shivering from the brisk winter winds. A few moment's earlier, Toboe had been seperated from his pack when Quent and his dog appeared, chasing them all off in different directions. Gunshots echoed off the city's buildings, breaking the peace. Now, all there was was complete silence. This bothered the pup. It was too quiet to be normal, and in the back of his mind, he knew he was still in danger. Golden occuli focused on a figure standing just outside the alley the pup was resting in, widening in fear when he came to realize it was Blue. The charcoal dog growled and snarled as her master aimed his gun at the wolf, firing, and losing sight of his target.
The russet form staggered forward on top of a roof. Before Quent had fired, he leapt, causing the bullet to miss his chest but instead strike his back leg. His vision became blurry and pain filled his body. Without Kiba or the others, the young pup knew he was vulendrable to danger. Somewhere, off in the distance, a howl was directed heavenwards. Not a familiar call, but that of a stranger. Before completely losing conciousness, he saw a dark figure walking towards him. Then, his eyes shut...
"Damn it, Toboe," Tsume cursed beneath his breath. He looked forward, letting Kiba lead the way. The trail was fresh, and it would probably linger in the air for some time before disappearing completely. But, not only was the blood of a wolf alightened on the snow, so was that of a dog and a human. Overwhelmed with worry, the pack walked into the alley, spotting a few imprints in the snow and speckles of crimsom liquid splattered against the brick wall. Hige looked up with worried eyes, realizing the scent of their young comrad traveled up onto the roof of the building.
"Hey, Kiba. I don't think Toboe was too badly injured. His scent trail is leading me up there. It just makes me wonder... why the blood of that old man and his dog are found around here," Hige commented. Maybe the pup had grown strong enough to fight back, or maybe something else happened.
"I'm not sure if he is alright. His scent is faint, so I am not entirely sure if he is still up there," Kiba answered, looking up heavenwards. It was strange. His scent was there, faintly, but his presence was not sensed. The pack leader leapt up there with both Hige and Tsume followed. There, imprinted into the bloodstained snow, was the shape of a young wolf, and some other prints let in the snow. This puzzled them.
Toboe dozed ever so lightly in the shafts of moonlight that threaded down into the building he was currently in. Immediately realizing that he was still alive, he sharply jolted back to reality and rose his body off the ground, yelping as pain once again entered his back leg, causing him to fall back to the floor. His chest heaved in and out as he tried to catch his breath and his eyes continously searched the room he was in for some type of presence. He knew there was someone, due to the distinct scent from the next room over, even though blood from his wound thickly filled his nares. The place he was in, he surmised, was that of an abandoned warehouse. The sound of a door creaking open entered his auds and his attention was caught on what he believed was the source of the voice.
.:OOC:. Well, it's a start. A bad one. But, I didn't really want to bring in my new character's until the second chapter. Chapter 2 isn't coming up until I get 5 reviews!
