"Those that think they have defeated Darkness...Become Darkness themselves..."

Quote from Elder Wolf "Riksha"

Wolf Fight

Chapter 1

Maka and Twany

The light red-brown female wolf shook her head as she watched from the top of the hill, the small wolf pack that was hunting the lone Elk. She watched for a moment longer before turning and trotting down the hill away from the pack and their hunt. She looked around her with her piercing amber eyes.

"This is stupid." She mumbled to herself. She was two-years old. Three months ago her pack had shunned her. They had taught her everything she needed to know to survive then shunned her because she was different. All the other pups had either grey fur or black. None of them (except her) had red-brown fur and haunting amber eyes. The alphas were ashamed when other packs had seen her. Her parents were proud of her but in the end didn't even try to stop the pack from shunning her. She missed her older brother Kar.

Her name was Maka.

Maka sighed but didn't stop trotting through the forest. She, like many other wolves, lived in the Yellowstone Park. When she was in her old pack if they had been humans she would have been a straight A student.

"Maka!" Maka stopped and glanced over her shoulder. She saw a dark grey (that looked black unless you really looked at his fur) male wolf. Maka smiled her goofy wolf smile.

"Kar!" Maka forgot that he was going to visit her today.

"How are you doing these days?" Kar asked as he licked her muzzle in a cool-like but still brotherly way.

"I've been alright." Maka replied as her tail wagged.

"That's good to know." Kar and Maka were now trotting side by side through the open plains.

"How's the pack?" Maka asked as she looked at her older and only brother.

"Everyone's doing ok. Ariel lost her litter this year though." Kar flattened his ears back.

"I'm so sorry for Ariel." Maka felt sorry for the pretty white she-wolf. Ariel had been very kind to Maka and would also visit her now and then to make sure the two-year old was alright.

"How's Hazel?" Maka grinned. Kar looked at her quickly feeling his face go hot.

"S-Sh-She's alright." Kar stuttered.

"Kar is in love with Hazel!" Maka chanted as Kar chased her playfully then they both stopped when they heard howling.

"You better get going before they find you with me." Maka told him sadly.

"I'll come and see you again soon Maka." Kar said then turned and sprinted to where the howling was coming from.

"There you are Maka!" Maka blinked her amber eyes and looked to her left where a black and white she-wolf with unusual blue eyes sat.

"Hey Twany." Maka dipped her head to the other she-wolf.

"I found us a place that we could live now!" Twany said excitedly

"Come on then!" Twany leapt to her paws and led Maka towards the heart of the forest where a giant oak tree stood by itself.

"You could put 6 grizzlies in here!" Maka yipped when she slipped through the opening under the tree's roots be the base which would shelter them during storms.

"I know! It's perfect for when more wolves join our pack right!" Twany smiled. Maka smiled at her friend. Twany had been a part of a different park on the other side of the park. She hadn't been shunned but left because she felt different. Twany then traveled to where Maka's pack was and found Maka then together they started their own little pack.

"We'll ask the lone wolves up by the creek that's by that old abandoned bear's cave tomorrow kk?" Twany told Maka before she drifted off to sleep.

"You just wanna see Ash." Maka teased and earned a small playful snarl from her friend. Maka then yawned and laid her head on her paws and closed her eyes slowly drifting to sleep...
