Chapter One: The Rouge Wolf

Rosaline wasn't sure if this was the right direction; something didn't smell right. She raised her concerns to Gaia, but the fox red bitch had told her to keep her concerns to herself. Rachel rolled her eyes. Rosaline nodded, her nose twitching towards the wind. She knew her sense of smell far exceeded Gaia's, but the red wolf would here nothing of it.

The pack stopped to rest and Rosaline began to sniff around, having caught an unfamiliar scent on the breeze. "Rosaline!" Rachel, Rosaline's black twin, growled, "What are you poking at now?"

"Something, I don't know. It's a strange scent. It smells like a demon, but I'm not sure what kind. It smells strong."

"Then we should move on."

"Let me see what it is first."

"Sister, haven't you ever heard the expression 'curiosity kill the cat'?"

"I ain't a cat," were Rosaline's departing words as she slunk down the hill following the unfamiliar scent.

The scent is getting stronger now, Rosaline mused, her bushy white tail wagging with excitement as she leaped over a small stream, her nose brushing quickly over the blades of grass as she neared her goal. Another scent hit her then, sharp and unpleasant. She recognized it immediately, as any hunter does.

Blood!

Lots of it!

Rosaline's pulse quickened and she panted as she crested another hill, her eyes sweeping the scene in front of her. Bodies everywhere. Humans: men, women, children. Blood coating every inch of ground. With a growl, she turned tail and tried to run, slamming into something unyielding. She looked up, her nose burning with the smell of it's demonic aura.

Naraku!

She had never encountered the infamous demon, but she recognized him on sight. He leered at her and she stood her ground, her yellow eyes narrowed in hatred, her milk-white fangs bared. She knew stronger demons then she had been disintegrated by Naraku, but her wolf pride wouldn't let her go down without a fight.

"Useless hybrid," he snarled coldly, tossing Rosaline aside with a casual swipe of his sword. She hit a nearby tree, blood trickling down her chest. She snarled and lunged, her teeth making contact with his neck and latching on. He grabbed her by the scruff of her neck and tossed her back into something yielding. She looked up to see her sister, in human form, a sneer on her face.

"What the hell happened here?"

"Naraku," Rosaline moaned through the pain from the wound on her chest.

"Shit!" Rachel snarled, shifting into her wolf form.

Catch me as I fall

Say you're here and it's all over now

Speaking to the atmosphere

No one's here and I fall into myself

Gaia crested the hill, along with the rest of the pack as they scanned the village. She knew that the pack had no love for humans, but even they would be shocked and appalled at such damage. Gaia's green eyes met her's and then they fell to Naraku. She drew back her lips in a snarl.

This truth drives me

Into madness

I know I can stop the pain

If I will it all away

If I will it all away

Gaia lunged the demon, her teeth meeting the softness of his shoulder. Rachel and their cousin Rolf made contact with his legs as three others made contact with various other body parts. Rosaline rose, her limbs sore from the abuse from Naraku's blade. Refusing to be cowed, Rosaline lunged again, being rewarded with another stab, this one to her front leg.

"Sister!" Rachel called, rushing to her side.

"I'm fine," Rosaline assured her. Rachel nodded, turning reluctantly from her younger twin. She sank her teeth once more in Naraku's tender flesh. Rosaline stood gingerly, favoring her right front paw. "Mother!" the girls cried as Gaia hit the ground next to her and didn't get back up.

Don't turn away

Don't give in to the pain

Don't try to hide

Though they're screaming your name

Don't close your eyes

God knows what lies behind them

Don't turn out the light

Never sleep never die

Rachel landed on all fours next to Rosaline, her yellow eyes narrowed with hatred. "Sister!" she said and Rosaline nodded. Rosaline was panting, her legs gave out, her body stinging with pain as if white hot daggers were being forced through her every nerve. Rachel helped her as she struggled to stand again. Rachel scanned the area and saw that their comrades had fallen.

They were the only ones left!

I'm frightened by what I see

But somehow I know

That there's much more to come

The girls turned to each other, a mutual grimace exchanged through their twin telepathy. This is it, Rachel said mentally. Do we cower down, or do we go down fighting? Rosaline took a second an a half to think.

We fight!

Immobilized by my fear

And soon to be

Blinded by tears

I can stop the pain

If I will it all away

Rachel and Rosaline exchanged a sisterly hug. I love you, they told each other, ready to face the end. Like a unit, they struck Naraku on each side and felt the satisfying rush of blood filling their mouths. He drew his sword across Rachel, who landed, shivered into human form, and was still.

To still!

Rosaline raged, digging her teeth deeper into his skin before she too was tossed like a rag. She collapsed, her injured leg giving way under her weight. She turned to Naraku, and she lunged one last time.

Fallen angels at my feet

Whispered voices at my ear

Death before my eyes

Lying next to me I fear

She beckons me

Shall I give in

Upon my end shall I begin

Forsaking all I've fallen for

I rise to meet the end

Her teeth met yielding flesh as she latched onto his throat, missing his life vein by inches. The taste of the blood that soaked her mouth and the rage at loosing her family made her careless. Naraku wielded his sword and plunged it into her back leg. She howled, but refused to let go. She had come this far, she had nothing left to loose but her life, which she wouldn't give up easily.

Not without a fight.

He cracked her several times over the head with the hilt of his sword before she finally let go, hitting the unmerciful ground.

This was it. This was the end. She would be with Rachel soon. Naraku raised his blade again and, Rosaline, unable to stand and fight anymore, gritted her teeth, resigned to what came.

Don't turn away

Don't give in to the pain

Don't try to hide

Though they're screaming your name

Don't close your eyes

God knows what lies behind them

Don't turn out the light

Never sleep never die

Rosaline's world went dark.
