Chapter 2: Fate becomes reality

"My fate? What's going to happen to me?"

" You Hinata... will die."

"Die?! But... why? Who?"

"Hinata I don't have much time... but you must heed my warning..."

"Warning? What-"

"Hinata, the people you love may not be as innocent and caring as they seem, beware where you tread or it could end up being the last breath you take."

"My family? What would they-" before Hinata could ask the wolf began fading.

"Good-bye Hinata. Hopefully we'll meet again under different circumstances." The wolf smiled, all remaining traces of the wolf before her now gone. Hinata was now alone standing in a void of darkness...

"Hello, where'd you come from?" a warm mysterious voice asked. Hinata wasn't sure who the voice belonged to. "Who's there?" she asked. All her senses on high alert as she looked around in what seemed like never ending darkness for where the was coming from. "My names Naruto, what's yours?" they asked again. "Naruto? Who's that?" she wondered. Before she was able to understand what was happening and who the mysterious voice belonged to, she was awoken by water being splashed in her face.

"Wha-" she looked around and noticed a gray wolf with black paws and slightly tip black tail. Hinata slowly stood up and stretched shaking out her fur. "Hello, Neji-nee san," she said yawning a bit.

"Hello, Hinata-sama. I'm sorry to wake you, but your father needs to see you for a moment."

"Don't worry no harm in waking me up if it's important." Neji nodded. "Thank you, I'll go see my father now, thanks again." and with that Hinata headed off to see her father. 'I wonder what father wants? Hmm, now that I think about it I could probably go ask granny elder about the dream I had.' As Hinata got closer to the main den she couldn't help but feel a bit nervous. She was her father pacing back and forth, his tail swishing in agitation, he also had a serious look in his eyes and on his face. Hinata's father had white fur with one black ear.

"Father?" she called softly. Her father stopped pacing and turned around and saw Hinata standing there with a confused and concerned look on her face. "Hello Daughter, I assume Neji gave you my message?" Hinata nodded, "Yes, Neji-nee san said you needed to talk to me about something?"

"Yes... I, Hinata... I..." her father seemed to be avoiding the conversation, this both confused and worried about where her father was heading with this. Suddenly she remember what the wolf in her dream... "You will die... " dying; Hinata knew that dying was a natural part of the cycle of life, but it wasn't like there wasn't part of her that found death a bit scary. There's no way that the wolf in her dream could have been right, her family wouldn't kill her would they? Her heart wanted that dream to just end up being a false fabrication, but there was also a part of her that felt that this dream wasn't a random fabrication, but reality was about to come full circle.

"Father is there... something you're not telling me?"

Hinata's father sighed, "Hinata when it becomes dark I need you to go to the forest, is that understood?" a serious look in his eyes. Hinata nodded her head,"Yes, father."

"Good, you are free to leave. I have other business to attend to." Hinata silently watched as her father walked past her, her eyes following him as he left. 'Father...' Hinata decided that instead of talking to granny elder she'd take a nap and rest up for what awaited her later that night.

(Later that night: Full Moon)

Hinata was still sound to sleep when she felt a blinding white light hit her eyes. "Ugh." she opened her lavender eyes to see a full moon staring back at her, she yawned, "I guess it's time to head to the forest." Hinata got up and stretched shaking out her fur, she walked out of the den, no one seemed to be around which Hinata found to pretty odd, but she decided to just let it go and focus on the task at hand. Hinata quietly made her way to her destination. The only thing that could be heard was the sound of crickets as Hinata waited for what was to come.

Hinata made her way to the forest, crickets chirping along. When she got there, no one was there, this worried her.

"Father are you here?" she called. No answer. Suddenly the bushes began rustling. Hinata's perked up in alarm, she got in a defensive stance. "It's ok Hinata it's just me," a voice said. "Who?" a figure stepped out of the bushes, Hinata relaxed. "Oh, it's just Neji-nee san."

"What are you doing here?"

"... I'm guessing he didn't tell you..."

"Tell me what?"

"Hinata, you need to get out of here!"

"This is-" Suddenly howling could be heard, I had a feeling this wasn't good.

"Hinata this is a trap, your father plans to kill you here. He doesn't see you fit to lead the the pack so..."

Hinata's eyes widened in shock. 'No that can't be true... it can't be!' another howl echo through the night. "Hinata go now!" Neji commanded snapping her out shock. As much as Hinata didn't want to... she turned to Neji and nuzzled him.

"Thank you Neji-nee san. I won't forget this. Please take care my sister... and my father."

"You're welcome Hinata and don't worry I will. I care for you, you're my cousin after all. Now go!"

Hinata nodded and quickly headed into the forest leaving Neji standing there in the clearing. "Please be careful Hinata."

Hinata ran as fast a she could, her paws scuffling up dirt as she ran. She could hear someone following her, she refused to stop. As she continued to run she ran into a bit of trouble, she was stuck on a cliff edge. She looked down and saw a raging river below her. "Great, now what am I going to do?"

"We've been looking for you Hinata. It seems Neji told you about our plans."

A group of wolves came from behind the trees, their teeth bare. "I'm sorry Hinata I really am... but I'm just following orders," one of the wolfs said, his fangs flashing in the moon light. Hinata recognize him as a friend of her father.

"Please I don't want to fight!" Hinata stated.

"Neither do I, but you can't be left alive otherwise..."

Hinata tried to find a way out, but she knew she was stuck. Neji may have have her from immediate death, but it looked like death wasn't done with her yet...
