My New Pack?

by thebestpplrcrazy

Alith finds Infinite who is trying to kill himself but Alith won't let him. They start to find comfort in each other but Infinite thinks Alith will leave one day. Together they try to do the right thing while fighting the darkness in themselves but could they really be good?

1. Alith/Entoria

I own nothing but Entoria/Alith the weird wolf and my other ocs.

Infinite laid beside a cliff ledge. He had no idea how he got there or why he was still alive. He was injured physically and mentally. His fur was matted with blood, the wound across his chest still bled from the ruby and was beginning to get infected. He didn't have the will to live anymore,his normally proud will was so damaged he didn't want to fight to stay alive. He dragged his tired body closer and closer to the ledge. The breeze rustled his fur. He felt so broken and useless. No one wanted him, not his pack, Dr Robotnik or anyone for what he done. He just needed to push himself a bit more and he'll finally be free. The jackal felt himself fall but got his foot yanked up. He looked up to see a black male wolf with long wavy fur from his head that was white and turned grey with black at the tips. He looked as bad as the jackal felt. "Let me go!" Infinite yelled. "No! You can't die! Infinite took everything from everyone! I'm not letting anyone get hurt if I could help!" the wolf said as he slowly dragged Infinite up onto the ledge. "I am Infinite!" the jackal yelled at the wolf and started crying. The wolf just stared at him and said "Infinite destroyed my home without a second glance. He killed others without caring. Your a broken jackal that feels." The wolf smiled "Infinite is dead." The wolf kicked Infinite's mask over the edge and hauled the crying jackal back to what he called his new home. It was a cave a bit far from town. Inside was some blankets and a fire pit with bags of rashings. The wolf laid the jackal down on the blankets and stared emotionlessly at the now sleeping jackal. The reason why he let the scientists use his body was for the money for his pack. Alith stared at him and back down at his ripped gloved paws. He was never a male he was born female but didn't know how to change back but the scientists made sure he knew how to use his shadow energy. Now they are rotting in that lab where he left them. Alith made sure the fire was still burning before crawling under the blankets beside the jackal. The wolf frowned as he felt the other's forehead, he was burning up. The next morning an angry Alith ran to town. He hated waking up early. He easily stole medicine and anything he could get his hands on for soup. Alith slowly walked back to his cave. He felt like shit for stealing but he had no money and was okay if he starved but he couldn't let a sick and injured jackal starve. Alith got back and was happy to see the jackal still asleep. Alith dug out a pot so he could make some chicken soup. Alith just hopped it'll turn out good. Alith glanced at Infinite's gloves and shoes, they had the Infinite symbol on them. Alith carefully took them off and burned them in a fire he made outside of the cave. Infinite woke up freezing but saw a big bowl of soup that smelt good. He tried to sit up but slowly fell back down and groaned in pain. Alith came walking in the cave with an arm full of wood for the fire. He sat down beside the jackal. "I'm Entoria but call me Alith because I'm a male right now." Alith smiled at Infinite. The jackal looked at Alith like he was crazy but thought he'll ask more about it later. "Zero..My name is Zero." Zero said with his ears flat on his head. "Well Zero, I thought you might not be able to sit up so I bought some straws." Alith smiled and put a straw in the soup. He grabbed more blankets to prop Zero into more of a sitting position. " Thank you…" Zero whispered. "Your welcome!" Alith grinned. He stood up and walked out the cave. Zero's mismatched eyes widened, he got nervous once he didn't see Alith but tried to fight it off. His heart raced and it suddenly got hard to breath. Zero gasped trying to get air into his lungs but it didn't help. He was gonna start panicking but saw Alith walk in with a bucket of water. Alith sat the water down near Zero and dug in a bag for soap. Zero watched Alith while he kept breathing heavy. Alith poured a little soap into the bucket and dunk a cloth in it but grinned as his holy glove got wet. He took off his now wet gloves, uncovered Zero who looked at him shocked and began to clean out Zero's wounds on his legs first. The time Alith was done Zero was breathing normally and was done his soup. Alith quickly ran out but came back with another bucket of water to wash out the soap. Zero was dozing off but tried to stay up. Alith then began to put salve on all the cuts and put extra on Zero's chest because of how the edges were green. Zero flinched and glared at Alith. Alith ignored him and bandaged all the wounds. "There!" Alith smiled and studied his handy work before finishing "Now you'll heal." "You looked worse than me the other day. Now you look fine." Zero sated. "I know right? My fur was burnt and I smelt like a burnt duck. Oh yeah and the blood. I think it has to do with what the scientists did to me." Alith's smile vanished and his grey eyes became a bright yellow with slits and a clouded over look. Zero wanted to ask more but thought it was better to wait till later on. Alith shook his head "But that's in the past!" "Why did you save me?" Zero asked but knew he was falling asleep. "I saved you because I thought you were a normal jackal but after you told me who you used to be….I decided you needed a second chance." Alith looked at the now sleeping jackal and smiled but looked worried. He needed to get Zero to a real house so he could break his fever. A cold cave won't help him but Alith searched for his pack and everyone he asked told him they either were dead or splitted up during the war.

Alith's ears lay flat on his head as he remembered his younger siblings and his grandmother that took care of them all. He hoped they all were alive somewhere. Tears rolled down Alith's face as he looked at Zero sleeping. He wanted to blame Zero and kill him like he was made to do but it wasn't Zero he was supposed to kill. It was Infinite and he was already dead. Alith wiped away his tears. He stood up to try to let off his anger by cutting down more trees for firewood. Alith made shadows appear around his paws and turned them into solid points. It looked like he had black pointed gloves on. He hacked down trees like they were paper. After about an hour he hauled it all inside the cave. He noticed Zero moved to his side and threw another blanket over him. Alith then slowly started preparing a mushroom soup with the last bit of milk he had in a hole he dug up in the cave to keep it cold. As he was done cutting mushrooms he heard footsteps outside the cave. Alith instantly ran to the opening of the cave and peered out. He saw a big green crocodile talking loudly with a bee but Alith's instincts felt off. He turned to scan the cave and felt like he was being watched. He didn't like this at all. Alith ran back to Zero and covered Zero with his body and kept looking around and at the opening. A few minutes went by and that bad feeling left making Alith released the breath he didn't know he was holding. He heard the crocodile talk/yell "What?! But we-" Alith heard another male talking but couldn't make out the words. A few minutes passed when Alith finally crawled over Zero to the cave opening to see no one was there. Alith returned to making the mushroom soup but couldn't shake that strange feeling.

Alith ate his soup in silence when he heard a thud. He twitched and saw a big backpack with two sleeping bags attached. Alith put his bowl down and walked over to the backpack. He nudged it a couple times. Nothing happened. Alith smiled so big he couldn't help it. "Thank you!" Alith happily yelled into the forest. Alith took the bag back to where he was sitting with his bowl of soup. He carefully unpacked the bag. Alith found packets to make beef and chicken broth, some pairs of gloves, salves, a first aid kit with extra bandages, granola bars, a compass,bottles of water, a fire starter that Alith had no idea how to use it, matches and at the very bottom of the back that made it so heavy was an air mattress. Alith's tail wagged and he finished his soup. Zero woke up to a horrible whistling noise. He glared at Alith and watched as Alith blew into a big black bag? Balloon? "What are you doing?" Zero asked and coughed. "Trying to get our bed up before it gets late but as nice as who ever left the bag here they forgot a damn air pump!" Alith said before he kept blowing into the air mattress. "How is that a bed?" Zero asked. "It's an air mattress!" Alith gasped and finished "It's like a mattress but filled with air instead of fluff...Cotten…Feathers?... What ever mattresses are filled with." Zero looked at the barely half filled air mattress with doubt. "Mushroom soup is waiting for you." Alith grunted before he continued to fill the air mattress. "What did you mean?" Zero asked after another straw full of soup. "Mean? About what?" Alith asked clearly out of breath. "To call you Alith because your a male. I thought you are a male?" Zero asked but knew he shouldn't of asked as he watched Alith's eyes dim. "I was born female. I used to be called Entoria but after I let the scientists use me as a test subject….I'm not sure what they did to me. All I know is I could switch genders but I don't know how to. They didn't bother trying to help or teach me. All they showed me is how to use my shadow powers… Shadow Energy?...Then I killed them…" Alith whispered the last part but Zero heard and his ears flattened against his head. " Did you let them do that to you because of me?" Zero nervously asked. "No. It was Infinite I was built to kill." Alith smiled. "But he's already dead." Zero just looked at Alith shocked but didn't want to ask anymore. "Since we're digging into my past. Let's go into yours. Why did you become Infinite?" Zero layed down and didn't answer, Alith rolled his eyes but kept trying to blow up the mattress. About an hour later Alith finally had the mattress up. He unrolled the sleeping bags and unzipped them just to zip them together, making a big sleeping bag. "Zero! I know your up. I see your tail moving." Alith grinned as he saw Zero's tail stop moving. "I got our bed made." Alith said as he started to uncover Zero. Zero groaned as Alith helped him stand but Zero's legs shook under him. Alith picked up Zero bridal style and carried him to the bed. "I could of walked!" Zero growled. "You mean crawled? Plus I'm not watching you reopen your wounds." Alith covered Zero back up who instantly snuggled into the warmth of the big sleeping bag. Alith threw more blankets over him to make Zero sweat out his fever. Alith got the little fire to be a bit bigger for more heat. Alith then crawled into the bed and stared at the ceiling of the cave. "I got beat by Shadow the hedgehog..He called me weak and a coward. I let my pride take over me.. I left my pack when Dr Robotnik said he could make me stronger...I should of listened to my pack… I know now I am a coward and weak." Zero whispered "Your not weak. It takes a lot of strength to admit that. I'll go beat up Shadow for you!" Alith smiled. "He'll just hurt you like me. That's how I got this scar." Zero traced the scar over his face. "Your scar makes you look badass! I wouldn't mind one but it probably won't look good on me when I'm a girl though." Alith said while wondering how she'll look with a scar over her face. "Heh! You'll look horrible." Zero said a bit to serious. Alith glanced at Zero and saw him smile. "Hey! I'll look more deadly! Then no one will mess with us!" Alith said happily. "Yeah right. We'll probably get into more fights because of how we look." Zero smirked but inside knew he was useless without his sword. "Then as soon as your better we should train together so we could watch each other's backs." Alith said while his eyes were shut. Zero's eyes widened. Does that mean Alith wants him around after he gets better? "Okay." Zero said before he drifted into sleep.

The next day Zero woke up with some porridge and a baggy filled with sugar packs. He was nervous at first but kept telling himself Alith was just cutting wood. He couldn't shake the feeling like someone was watching him though. His ears kept twitching at every little sound. Then he heard a thud that made him twitch so bad he barely caught his bowl he almost dropped. He slowly turned to the cave opening and saw a bag. Zero just stared at it. His heart was racing and he didn't dare look away. What if someone was out there waiting for him to attack but saw Alith walk in with a pair of new shoes. He smiled at the bag and picked it up. "I traded some of our blankets for shoes for you!" Alith sat beside Zero on the mattress that made Zero bounce up slightly. "Sorry about them being black and red though. Thought it was better than the bright pink runners. Oh look at my boots! Their like my old ones I used to have." Alith smiled as Zero looked at Alith's spiked heeled combat knee high boots. "I made sure they were boy ones." Alith smiled but frowned at the paper that was tied onto the backpack. "Thank you. Who left the bag?" Zero asked. "I don't know but they want me to work for them now." Alith handed Zero the note. "I probably should for them helping us but I don't want to leave you alone and I was hoping we could get moving as soon as your better." Alith said with worry in his voice. Zero saw the ink slowly disappear but luckily he red it all. "So you been taking bags full of stuff from strangers? I know my parents didn't love me but they at least made sure I didn't take anything from strangers." Zero commented. "We needed the food, mattress, sleeping bags, matches and the salves. I been putting on your wounds." Alith thought he'll ask more about Zero's family later on. "I don't trust this." Zero said. "I don't either but if I don't came back don't accept anymore bags." Alith said as he stood up to leave again. "Wait your going?!" Zero asked surprised he was actually going to go. "Yes. I hate owing people." Alith dug in one of the bags and handed Zero a dagger. "Only use it if your in danger. I'll try to be fast." Alith walked out the cave.

Alith ran to the spot he was supposed to meet whoever wrote the letter. He was on the outskirts of town in a field area with little hills here and there. Alith was nervous. One because he didn't know who was coming and two he was normally very shy but once he started taking care of Zero he's been forcing himself to talk. Like with the shoes this morning. He traded people blankets for rashings then traded those for plywood then traded them for the shoes. He stuttered at the first traded but easily got the shoes after that but Alith was mentally exhausted. "Hey wolf what's your deal?" a stern yet serious voiced asked behind Alith who jumped but glowed a purple light covering his body. When Alith turned it wasn't Alith but Entoria who glared at the the purple chameleon. The chameleon eyes widened before quickly turning away. "What?" Entoria asked but gasped as she heard her voice. "Wait here." the chameleon said before disappearing. Entoria ducked down. She never really got how the males could walk around without clothes but the girls had to be clothed but she was embarrassed. She felt her fur heat up on her muzzle. It was five minutes before the chameleon came back and dropped clothes in front of Entoria along with underwear that made Entoria's face a bright red. She quickly put on the clothes so fast she shocked herself. Entoria looked down at her skinny black jeans, her new green v-neck shirt and a pretty awesome looking purple trench coat that has ruffles from the hips down. "So...What did you want?" Entoria asked. The chameleon turned and said "Sorry if the clothes don't match. I just tried to hurry." "The clothes are awesome. Thank you for the clothes and everything else to but why are you helping me and my friend?" Entoria asked. "I caught you stealing. So me and my team followed you. I saw your sick friend.-" Entoria cut in "Your the one I felt watching me?!" "Yes and I saw how you shielded him with your body, waiting for an attack. I could see your a warrior and I wanted you to join the Resistance." the chameleon finished. "The Resistance is the big group that took down Eggman and Infinite?" Entoria asked. "Yes." the purple chameleon answered. "No but if there is another way to pay you back then I will." Entoria said. " I saw you use your powers. You'll get better training and learn how to control it better-" "I'm not a thief and I thank you but ever since Infinite got defeated others been mean to jackals. I'm not putting my friend through that." Entoria said with so much force she shocked herself. The chameleon sighed. "If you change your mind ask for Espio or Knuckles at the Resistance." Espio disappeared. Entoria ran back to the cave worried, they had to leave before the Resistance figured out Zero used to be Infinite. Entoria walked in to see Zero rocking back and forth mumbling something. "Zero!" Entoria said but regretted it because she got clawed at. Luckily she moved but her cheek got scratched instead of her eye. Entoria hissed in pain but didn't know she was now Alith again. Alith grabbed ahold of Zero's hand and kept saying "Breath. It's okay Zero." over and over till Zero finally calmed down. He was shaking and crying. Alith hugged Zero like he would break if Alith let go. Alith and Zero stayed like that till the sun was setting when finally Zero pulled away. Alith grabbed Zero's arm and hauled him to a standing position. They slowly made their way out of the cave. The evening cool air was to cold for Zero and Alith knew that but he needed to do this with Zero. Alith breathed deep before howling so loud that Zero flinched. Zero looked at Alith with a mix of surprise and sadness. "Now you howl. You heard mine so you'll know it's me. I won't understand your howl like you can't with mine but at least if your in danger you could easily call me." Alith said with a smile. "My howl is annoying." Zero said with his ears flat. "Can't be any worse than a hyena." Alith smiled. Zero actually howled and his howl was annoying but Alith didn't care. He joined Zero, they spend about a good ten minutes howling into the wind. Alith felt like he was back with his pack while Zero felt free and happy to have a pack mate. Wait a pack mate? Zero looked at Alith who was still howling. Zero was scared Alith would leave him like how he left his own pack for power. They walked back to the cave. Alith got the fire started and reheated some leftover porridge for Zero. Zero ate but Alith looked so distant that Zero felt panicky. "They wanted me to join the Resistance." Alith suddenly spoke. Zero's mind instantly showed Alith leaving him. "So your leaving me then?" Zero asked. "No! I told them no." Alith said and added "But they are watching us. We have to leave before they figure out who you used to be. Tomorrow I'm gonna trade most of our stuff to get a wagon so I could pull you. My friend Khan lives. Well used to live beside a lake about two maybe three days walk from here. He'll let us stay with him for awhile." "How do you know this Khan won't turn me in?" Asked Zero. "Because he doesn't care if someone is evil or good or used to be. He'll help anyone." Alith said. "I'm sorry. I clawed your cheek." Zero said while staring into his bowl. "It's okay. I have anxiety attacks to." Alith said and yawned. "Is that was that horrible feeling was?" Zero asked. "Yes." replied Alith. He took off his jacket, gloves, boots and undid the zipper on his pants before crawling under the blanket. "Why are you wearing cloths?" Zero asked. "Wow. I didn't know we were playing twenty questions. Because I was a girl till I got clawed." Alith said a bit too harsh. Zero's ears lay flat on his head and he knew it was all his fault. He was bad at being a friend or pack mate or whatever this was. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to sound that harsh. I'm just tired. I am sorry Zero." Alith said as he closed his eyes. Zero set his bowl down and hugged Alith. Alith smiled and turned to his side so he could hold Zero better. The two fell asleep like that. When morning came Alith was too exhausted to move he felt like his bones were grinding with every breath. He watched Zero breath heavy in his sleep and his fever came back. Alith felt his forehead to see if he had a fever to. Unfortunately he did have one to. Alith whimpered, he didn't want to be sick. They were supposed to leave today but he could barely move or keep his eyes open. Zero woke up to a dead fire and no food made. He saw that Alith was still sleeping. So Zero tried and tried to get the fire started and after 25 matches he finally got it. Zero then found packets of beef broth. So he heated up water and dumped the packets in and stirred. Zero never really cooked before but he knew how to heat up water. Zero wobbly got the bowls and poured the broth in them. Zero was so proud he could finally do something for Alith but he was freezing so Zero added a few more logs into the fire. It quickly got way to smokey in the cave and Zero had no idea what to do. Alith slowly sat up and used the long stick he used as a poker and broke a part the logs so heat still came but it wasn't smokey. Alith layed back down but saw the bowl of soup. "Zero...Drink some soup but don't swallow it and act like we're gonna kiss then spit it in my mouth." Alith said but he had a big grin on his face. Zero's fur bristled and he felt his fur go hotter then what is was. "You would like that wouldn't you?" Zero smirked trying to hide the fact he was embarrassed. "You know what? I wouldn't want my first kiss with someone spitting soup in my mouth!" Alith burst out laughing along with Zero. Alith drank up the soup like he never ate in ages. Zero was still siping on his when he noticed Alith was sleeping again. Zero wagged his tail because Alith ate all the soup he made. Sure it was just broth but Alith liked it anyway. Zero finished his and layed next to Alith. Zero just noticed that Alith smelt like rain and something else….Roses? No it was more sweet...Chocolate? No that was to sweet...Zero kept thinking over other smells before he fell asleep. It was afternoon when Alith woke up with a killer headache, he felt like someone was hitting his head with a hammer. It took him an hour to rebandage Zero's wounds. He wished he would of just woke him up, it would of been a lot easier. Zero opened his eyes and said "We can't leave if we're both sick." "I know but I don't know if I could protect you like this either." Alith sadly said. "Just leave. I'm useless anyway. Just go and find your pack." Zero said seriously. "I only knew you for about four days now. You are my pack. Probably my only pack mate. I been asking around about my pack in the city. Others tell me they are either dead or spilt up." Alith wiped away tears he didn't know he had. "I'm not leaving you!" Zero just shook his head with tears running down his face. "I'm sorry…" "It's not your fault!" Alith said as he laid back down, he was so tired and sore. "It's not your fault…." Alith drifted back to sleep. "It is. You're just to damn good to see it or you really think I'm worth it…" Zero said knowing Alith didn't hear him. Zero got up and his legs tried to buckle under him but he forced them to move like when Alith helped him the other day. He walked around the cave willing his legs to work normally. He walked around for five minutes when he collapsed on the bed making Alith bounce. Alith turned and pulled Zero's ear who yelped in surprise. "I let you sleep without bouncing you so let me sleep!" Alith growled out before letting go of Zero's ear and went back to bed. Zero looked horrified, he never saw Alith look or sound so viscous before. Zero moved slowly not to wake up Alith afraid of what Alith might do. Zero laid there looking up, he was tired of being useless. He can't move a lot without help he still felt hot but he was able to make a broth soup. He could keep the fire going but he ended up making the cave smokey. "He'll be better off without me." Zero whispered and slowly made his way out the cave. He didn't know how far he actually made it before he had to lean on a tree and rest for a bit. Zero started shaking. He was freezing, he should of took one blanket with him but didn't think about it till now. He noticed he was beside a river that looked like it had a strong current.

Alith woke up and noticed right away that Zero wasn't in the cave. Alith got up and walked out the cave. His muscles hurt with every step he took but he ignored it. He sniffed the air and got Zero's scent. A mix of pine and a spice Alith couldn't place. Alith slowly followed the scent and was breathing heavy. He growled at himself for feeling so weak. The last time he felt like this his great great grandmother took care of him and made sure he was well taken care of before he was aloud to leave his bed. Alith walked and walked but had to stop to take a break. He was dizzy and freezing.

Zero didn't know when he fell asleep but knew the legs in front of him weren't there before. He sat up to look up at the owner of the legs but saw a wispon thrusted in front of his muzzle. Zero noticed it was a fire wispon and thought being burnt he'll finally be warm. "Listen dog give me everything you got!" the yellow bird yelled. Zero just stared at the bird with a blank stare. The bird yanked Zero to his feet and shoved the wispon against his chest wound. Zero gasped at the sudden pain but didn't really care. "Now give me everything you have!" the bird yelled again but more angry sounding. Zero smirked before saying "I got nothing." The bird glared at Zero while Zero just tried to stay standing.

Alith started to run even if it hurt like hell once he caught another scent. Alith huffed as he saw a bird pointing a wispon at Zero's chest making it bleed again. Alith growled before charging into the bird. All anyone heard was a thud before the yellow bird yelped and hit the ground. Zero eyes widened as he watched Alith's grey eyes become a neon yellow then a bloody red with black energy wrapping itself around his hands making big pointed claws. Under Alith's feet was a flat looking black fire that danced. A purple haze of light covered Alith and vanished but Entoria stood there looking feral. She slashed at the yellow bird that screamed an ear splitting scream. Zero slid to the ground staring at Entoria with a mix of amazement, fear, and jealousy. He never saw a female look so beautiful but deadly, she scared him more than Shadow and could literally feel the darkness rolling off of her. He was jealous with how powerful she actually was and how she showed no emotion while hurting people like how he used to. Zero was pulled out of his thoughts when Entoria threw the bird like he was a paper ball towards Zero. The bird tried to crawl away but Entoria was instantly behind him. He grabbed his head feathers to make him look at Zero. Zero saw how badly the bird was cut open all over his body. "Don't! Mess! With! My! Pack!" Entoria growled before snapping the birds neck like he was a stick. Zero watched as the bird fell to the ground but gasped as Entoria yanked his ear. "Why..Did. You. Leave. The. Cave?" Entoria whispered making herself sound even more frightening. Zero's instances told him to run far and fast but he was to scared to move with the way Entoria looked right now. "I-... I didn't want to hold you back! You could do so much without me dragging you down!" Zero said but noticed how hollow he felt saying it. "Your the only thing keeping me from becoming the monster they created me to be!" Entoria screamed with red tears streaming down her face. Zero was shocked about what she said and about the blood tears. Zero wiped her tears away and was released but Entoria glared at Zero. His ears lay flat but he didn't dare try to defend himself. Zero watched as Entoria's eyes changed back to silvery grey,the black energy vanished and her tears began to look normal. Entoria wanted to throw Zero around but to her that'll be like kicking a sick wounded puppy. She turned to the dead body. She shakily got up to push the birds body into the river. Zero watched at how she looked so natural doing it but shook his head. He was not Infinite anymore, Infinite killed and destroyed and made others suffer. He was Zero the one that'll be a better person then Infinite. After Entoria finished she sat beside Zero breathing heavy with her body shaking. Zero shook to but wasn't sure if it was fear or from being cold and sick. Entoria suddenly wrapped her arms around Zero still crying. Zero was shocked but loved the warmth he got from her body. "I don't want to lose you! I lost everyone else… I'll become the monster they made me to be if that means I still got a pack mate!" Entoria cried into Zero's fur. Zero was shocked at how Entoria showed how much she cared but more shocked at how she looked. As Alith he was more male looking with wild wavy fur on his head and more tough looking while Entoria looked so fragile but she wasn't. Entoria cried herself to sleep while Zero sat there awkwardly before he drifted off to sleep. They both didn't see or feel the figures watching them till the purple chameleon and a black and red hedgehog came out of the woods and picked them up. They hauled them away and they ran because of how hot they both were.
