Everyone was waiting by the door of Maka's house. "Ok Kid, who exactly was out there?" Maka asked. "It was Rose, Sky, Shadow, Cloud, and Flame." Kid responded. Flame (A ginger wolf with amber eyes) was like the pack's second-leader. He organizes times when wolves hunt and give out battle signals. Rose (A strangely colored reddish-purple wolf with blue eyes) was one of the senior fighters. She is always at the head of attack. Sky (A bluish-silver wolf with bright blue eyes) was new to everything and could still be considered a pup. Shadow (A black and gray wolf with green eyes) was one of the meanest wolves you could meet but he can show a few smiles when he's having a good day. Cloud (An all white wolf with yellow eyes) was the healer of the wolf pack and always goes on the missions like these.
"Ok, so we're all ready to go?" Maka asked them. They nodded and lifted up the arm where their symbol was. Just when the moonlight showed through the house, their symbols started glowing. Maka's was glowing green, Black*Star's was glowing purple, Liz's was glowing gray, Patty's was glowing red, Tsubaki's was black, and Kid's was glowing blue. They slowly started to transform into their wolf form.
Kid was an all black wolf with white shinigami skull imprints on his paws and three white lines going across his back and lifeless golden eyes. He is the only wolf ever known in Death City to be blind. Maka was a sandy colored wolf with green eyes. Black*Star was strangely an all blue wolf with his green eyes. Tsubaki was a black wolf with a white tail and chest with night blue eyes. Liz was a dark ginger wolf with blue eyes. Patty was a light ginger wolf with light blue eyes.
Maka led the way out of the apartment carefully so no one would notice until she reached outside where the rest o the wolves were waiting. "Geez guys, what took you so long?" Shadow asked, annoyance flashing in his green eyes. "Sorry, but we had to make sure no one saw us. It is Friday night after all." Maka responded tartly. "No use whining about it, you guys have to get back to camp so you can leave, I'm starving." Rose said while licking her muzzle.
Flame led the way through the forest, but something was off. He was using the shadows and walking steadily, as if something's going to come out and scare him. "Flame? Why are you acting as if someone's going to kill us?" Kid asked one knew how Kid was able to tell this stuff even though in his wolf form, he's blind. To everyone's shock, the five wolves stopped and looked uncomfortable.
"Uh, well, you see..." Flame trailed off, not knowing how to explain whatever was bothering him. "It's because of you damn hybrids! After you humans transformed in front of the pup humans, the humans with guns have been coming into our forest! They've already injured Shade, and they... they killed Storm." Shadow barked, his ears flattened against his head in grief for his lost pack-mate. Shade was a smoky gray wolf with green eyes and happens to be Shadow's sister. Storm was a dark gray and blue-gray wolf.
Maka, Kid, and Tsubaki gasped. Storm had been those three's first wolf friend. When everyone had been reluctant to make friends with the new hybrids, Storm had been there to comfort the three. Patty and Black*Star tilted their heads, confused, until Liz came up and whispered something into their ears. Realization dawned on them and they bowed their heads in grief as Maka, Tsubaki, and Kid howled to the moon floating above them.
When they finished, the three bowed their heads in grief too. "I bet the children went to the police and said they saw humans changing into wolves. That's why the humans are sending out those people, so they can kill the wolves living in their forest." Maka murmured. "It's not the humans's forest! It's ours!" Shadow barked again in anger.
"Come on, they're sending night patrols too so I suggest we get back to camp before anything so you can talk with Night." Rose said before bounding away as quickly as she could. Maka was in front of Kid with her tail in front of Kid's face so she could tell him where they were going.
Rose stopped in front of a tunnel. She carefully made her way down and the rest of them followed.
The wolves stopped at the entrance of the camp. The camp was a large, a very large, space in the middle of the dirt tunnel. It had a place for about 30 wolves to gather and talk with space, along with neat, large dens for them to sleep. It also has one large hole in the roof of the cave that lets moonlight in. "I will never get over how you guys managed to make a place for all the wolves to live and be freely with plenty of space." Maka whispered in shock. Kid started growling, which made Maka shut up.
Kid never got over on how he couldn't see in his wolf form, but he could see crystal clear in his human form. They would change back and Kid wouldn't know where they were. "Stop growling at her Kid." Liz said, gently nudging Kid with her muzzle. "You'd be pretty pissed off too if you couldn't see this 'wonderful' sight." Kid snapped back. Patty was on Kid's other side and giggled slightly. Liz nuzzled Kid's shoulder in reassurance.
Liz and Patty treated Kid like a younger brother, in human and wolf form. They'd always be the one to calm him down when he got really mad that he couldn't see. They would be like Maka and guide him places. They'd also protect him like any weapon and meister would.
Kid huffed but stopped growling. A large black furred wolf came out of a den and looked at the guests. "Well, are you guys going to stand there 'till you freeze? Get in here." Night said while flicking his tail to stand next to him. The wolves obeyed and formed a circle around him.
"Now, you guys probably know that the humans are trying to get rid of us correct?" Maka, Kid, Tsubaki, Liz, patty, and Black*Star nodded. "Alright then. Rose, Shadow, Flame, Cloud, Sky, you are free to do as you please." Night told the five other wolves. They dipped their heads in respect before talking to a couple other wolves.
"Ok, it's your guy's job to hunt at least 4 deer or elk so we can feast tonight. I would prefer another elk or deer after you finish because the pups are growing and are old enough to eat fresh-kill. Can you hunt and be back here before dawn?" Night asked them. Maka looked up at the roof and noticed that the moon was not directly above the cave roof. Judging from the light away from the roof, the moon was still rising. "Probably." Maka answered. "If we aren't, then wait until the sun's completely up. Then that's when you come looking for us." Maka answered sheepishly.
"Ok, be back as soon as you can. Prey's becoming scarcer with the humans trying to hunt and scaring the animals off. Do your best." Night said before vanishing into his den.
"Alright guys, are you ready to leave?" Maka asked the rest of them. They nodded. "Let's head out then. We've got a long night ahead of us." Maka sighed before walking though the tunnel. The rest followed, Liz guiding Kid with her tail.
This was going to be a tiring night.
