Ch. 2

When I awoke I was alone. I got up and went outside. No one was there so I jumped up a tree and sat down on a body sized branch. I sat there for ten minutes when the cottage door opened and out came Toboe. He noticed me and came to join me.

"Good morning," I said.

"You too," he said.

"Do you know where Kiba went?" I asked.

"I think he went out with Tsume to go get something," he explained. Then out of nowhere I heard a bang and I was falling. Toboe jumped to grab me when we fell to the ground. Toboe got up and made a very worried face.

From the pain I was experiencing, I was guessing I got shot in the stomach. Then another bang happened and Toboe was bleeding in the gut as well. The next thing I knew I blacked out.

When I awoke it was pitch black but since I was a wolf I could see in the dark. I tried getting up but the pain from the bullet was too much, which made me spit out blood. Then I heard a rustle in the distance. I turned my head so I could see where I was. From the looks of it I was in a cage, and next to me in another cage was Toboe.

"Toboe, where are we?" I asked.

"I don't know," he said, "Are you okay?"

"I think so, it just hurts if I try to get up," I explained.

"I'm sorry," he said.

"For what?" I asked.

"For getting us in this mess," he said.

"It's not your fault," I said, "It was probably mu fault."

"Don't say that," Toboe yelled at me.

"But it's true," I yelled back.

Then a door burst open and a man came walking towards us. He threw rotten food at us than left. I was NOT going to eat that food. I decided to take a nap to pass the time.

The sound of gun fire woke me up.

"What's goen on Toboe?" I asked.

"Something is making them fire their guns." Toboe said.

The door opened again but this time eight humans came running with two carts. Three of the humans were wearing lab coats and the other five looked like the ones that were chasing me and Kiba before. They lifted the cages me and Toboe were in onto the carts. They started pushing the carts through the door. We went through so many hallways I got dizzy, especially with all the blood I've lost.

When the room stopped spinning I could see that they were putting us in a van type vehicle. I was the first in then right when they were putting Toboe in I saw Tsume, Hige Blue, and Kiba come running. They attacked the eight humans that were with me and Toboe. Tsume and Hige helped Toboe, Kiba and Blue helped me.

"Ayaka, are you all right?" Kiba asked me looking very worried.

"I'm fine, what about Toboe?"

"He's good," Hige said.

Kiba carried me on his back as did Tsume with Toboe. It took awhile to get out of the building, but I was glad I was back with Kiba and the others. When we finally got outside I couldn't see because I was in a dark room before.

"Looks like the cost is clear," Hige said.

It took probably about twenty minutes to get back to the cottage. Kiba sat me down where I put him yesterday. He went over to Blue and asked her to bandage me since we are both girls. She carefully patched me up and gave me some food and water.

"Get some rest when you're done," she said. I moved my head up and down then she left. After she left Kiba came up to me and sat down.

"I was worried when I couldn't find you and smelled your blood on the ground. I thought I lost you this time," Kiba said.

"I'm sorry," was all I could say.
