Chapter 3: the daring wolf
While all this happened the calroys had gotten home and went to their respective rooms or spots in the house. The house itself was huge, four stories, made to look fabulus with gold trimmings over the white paint. Kim and her slave axe were in the top floor, witch was more like an attic then the floor of a home, but Kim had wanted it, and her father gave it to her." Poor Kim, ok?" axe asked, his tone low, he wasn't normally aloud to talk to Kim, at least not when the others were around. " don't worry axe I'm fine." She said in a dull voice." Its just to much drama over some street rat."
She began to disrobe, and axe, even though he was a guy hadn't left the room. He knew what would happen if he were to try anything. Besides he loved Kim, like they were twins, not just master and slave. He went to her closet and pulled out her louging clothes, made to be more comfortable then flashy and set them on the bed before bowing. " axe you know you don't have to bow." She said as she looked down at him, before beginning to put on the clothes that were laid out." Father hurt." He said not raising." I know pain soon." Kim sighed." I wont let him." She said as she finished up.
Kim would idely rub her wrist, that's when she froze. Axe looked up, her scent changing from normal to scared, very scared." Misstress?" he asked in a croaky voice." My moms bracelet." She cried out as she began to search franticlly, tearing threw her old clothes, looking anywhere she might have accidently left it.
Axe would sniff around the room as well, it was metal and hard to find like this but she wore it so often her scent would be perminently on it. He growled slightly as he looked at Kim. She was nearly in tears, her bottom lip trembling, that was one of two things her mother had left behind, and she valued it more then her own life." Axe what am I to do?" she asked as she collapsed on the bed in tears, her shoulders shaking as the sobs rocked threw her body." Alak steal." He said.
Kim looked up at axe, anger and tears both seemingly pouring out of her eyes." What?!" she asked as she got up." I no remember well mistress. But he grab wrist I see, he grab wrist where bracelet was. Now no bracelet." He said as he tried to word it slowly and easy to understand.
Kim nodded as she ran around the room,looking for a weapon." Ill get him." She cursed under her breath and turned, just in time to see axe jumping out the window. She cried out in surprise and ran to the window to see him running off. He bounded easily over the wall that surrounded the property." Oh no." she whispered, he wasn't aloud to leave unless acompanied and if the soldiers caught him well, she might lose her brother to the gillotene.
Axe hopped on the roof tops." Start here." He whispered. He wanted to start here for two reasons, one was no guards looked up, and two was alak had jumped by roof tops a lot, maybe his scent remained. He followed it until his sharp ears picked up a thumping noise, he followed it and soon a muffled scream became apperent to his wolfish senses. He would peek over and see blue hair and a body in opposite ends of a skillet like hand that belonged to a merc. Axe could tell he had fought before. the pheramones his body was giving off were sick. The screams ceased after a few seconds. " heh thirty, you're the new high record kid."
As soon as axe saw his chance he jumped down, and slammed both his feet into the mans lower back. Eric fell down with a yelp, believe it or not. he got up and turned quickly, trying to get a glimpse of who attacked him, but all he saw was a foot. The foot kicked him in the temple, left side of his face, and knocked him out cold. axe moved quikly over to alak and set two fingers on his throat, feeling a pulse he smiled." Good." He was glad that his master taught him little tricks. He shouldered alak, and hopped back up to the building, running back to the place he called home.
Unknown to the were wolf, lynx was watching them from another building." Well at least he didn't catch my scent." He said before smirking and following them, keeping them within his eye sight, but not so close. He knew the wolf could catch his scent or even worse, feel him following them. He shook his head as he followed them." Calroy put out the bounty, why would their wolf be saving him?" he asked after seeing the calroy's crest burned onto the base of his neck.
He shook his head." Saving a theif?" he would stop as they approached the house, and let the wolf hop over the fence without him following. Axe would hide alak in a bunch of bushes, and went to tearing at his arms with his own claws, he would wait untill the first drop of blood came to stop, and began rubbing his arms over alak." Scent save." He whispered. He had caused his own scent to block out alaks, that way the regular dogs wouldn't come over this way, they all feared axe.
Axe crawled up the wall and reentered his mistress's room only to find her sitting on the bed and her father drake looking at her." Where is he?!" he cried out. Kim would sigh." I… I don't know." Drake looked up as he saw the window curtains move slightly and smiled." Finally." He said, he grabbed axe's neck and yanked him painfully to the door." Leaving ehh? You'll pay for that dog." He whispered vilely. Axe hushed out something about bushes.
Kim looked at him, and then nodded." Ill come for you axe." She whispered, but no ears heard it. She climbed out her window and looked around, only two bushes near the wall. " thank god dad had them removed." She whispered, knowing it would have been a long search if the bushes that her sister planted were still there. She walked over to them and searched one. Then another before seeing the last thing she wanted." Theif." She whispered. He groaned slightly as he turned over in his state.
Kim saw his back, scrapes from the weird sand storm, and blackened patchs of skin." What the?" she whispered as her bleeding heart took over." Damn it." She whispered before looking around. She would pick him up, holding one of his arms over her shoulder as she made her way to the house, the scent of blood filled her nostrils as she noticed the back of his head looked almost like the top layers of the skin had been put threw a meat grinder. She was suprised at how light alak was. She was having no trouble in crossing the property and getting into her house.
She made her way up the stairs, thankfully avoiding any one else in the house. When she got to the upper floor she set him down on the bed and pulled out a really old set of clothes. She ripped them up and began to bandage him up. Damning her own need to help people out instead of getting what was rightfully hers. After she had finished and thrown the rest of her ripped clothes away.
Alak woke up suddenly, the pain overtaking his mind and vaulting him out of his unconseuss state. He rolled over as he pulled the hook out. Where was he? His mind reeled as he looked around.he looked down to find he was dressed in clothes that resembled his own, in a slavish sort of way. Spotting Kim as she threw the rest of her stuff away. He would roll off the bed." Where am I?!"he asked coldly as his eyes watched her.
Kim froze, turning just enough to see him." Your at my home." She whispered. She didn't dare move. Her heart beat was like a drum in her chest, pounding quickly as she looked at him.' Your ok. I don't want to hurt you." She said. Alak looked at her and growled slightly." Really now. How did I get here?" he asked as he remembered his last painful moments with Eric. " Axe brought you here." She whispered." If you talk loud my brother might here you." He would nod slowly as he watched her." Well…. Are you the one that bandaged me up?" she nodded quikly, her flowing locks falling over her face for a moment.
He would slide the hook away." Why did he bring me here?" Kim would look down to the ground." He thought you had my mothers bracelet." She said as tears threatened her face again." I'm sorry he falsly accused you." Alak looked at her." Why do you care for the bracelet?" he asked, Kim would slip down onto her knee's and look down." My mother is dead." She whispered." My father sold all of her stuff exept that bracelet." Alak looked at her, one moments pause as the gears in his mind turned." Well you helped me…." He would pull it out from his only pocket and lean forward, holding it out so that she could see it." You DID take it." She nearly cried out. She took it and put it back on, only thankful that she had it again.
Alak sighed." Sorry didn't think it was that important. I only steal what I know can be replaced but I geuss that cant be. Oh well.' She got up and walked over to him. He looked at her, wonderinhg what Kim wqould do, that is only for a moment. a slap echoed threw the top floor." Owww!' he hissed as he held his cheek.
She would look at him." That's for taking it." She said." Look just… don't leave right now, I need to get axe, I think he is being beaten." She would leave alak in the dark, his mind wondering what she meant, in between the bursts of pain from his cheek.
Kim made her way to the basement, and apon entering it found her father with a whip, and axe tied up." Run from this house again and you will suffer more." He said coldly as he brought down the whip on his back. Axe howled out, his mind reeling, he was a smart guy, but he had never been taught, so for all intents and purposes he was being punished like a child when taking a cookie before dinner." Axe sorry." He whimpered out. Kim would sigh." Father! Stop it." She said, drake looked to his daughter." Why is that Kimberly?" Kim looked at him." because he thought he could find my bracelet. I lost it and he thought it in the city." Drake stopped relising he wasn't in control now, when it came to that damn bracelet Kim wouldn't give up, about anything.
He would look at the wolf." Say so next time, and dog if you mess up one more time, I will make this seem like a walk in the park." He said before leaving. Kim would look at axe, and release him, his back held many cuts." Oh axe." She said as she released him. She would help him upstairs, and to her surprise alak was still there." So he helped me?" he asked she nodded." But I cant bandage him up." Alak would smirk and walk over to him." Well don't worrie." He would set axe stomache down on the bed as he whimpered in pain.
Alak rubbed his hands together." Haven't done this in a long time." He whispered, his hands started shaking as he growled. He set his hands on the cuts that were bleeding and sighed.' This is gonna hurt axe." Pain shot threw the cuts and axe let out a wolfish scream. The cuts closed quickly, but the pain didn't subside untill axe had torn the bed up with his claws.
Alak would smile." Sorry but at least.your not bleeding. He would hop onto the ledge." See ya around." He hopped onto the roof and jumped again, landing on the grounds, he returned to the streets he knew so well.
Chapter 4. the proposal
Kim sighed as he left, tired of all the events of the day. Axe would look at the bed and quikly strip it down, before replacing the sheets with ones from the closet. The spare ones were thrown away, hopfully her father wouldn't notice. Kim looked to him." You ok axe?" she asked. He nodded silently as he worked.
Kim would set a hand on his arm, the muscle twitched slightly, he was so used to being beaten that he flinched whenever touched. Kim would look at him and smile." Thanks, I owe you so much." She said as she hugged him, axe would shake his head." Is ok." He whispered." Mistress is like sister, had to help." Kim nodded." I know thanks." She said
Axe smiled at her words." Alak strange." He whispered as he looked at her." No hurt us, help. But steal and threaten earlyr, weird." He said quietly. Kim would nod." Maybe who knows."
Outside and a few hundred feet away, lynx had begun following alak. Alak was heading to one of the cantina's in town. He stepped inside and walked to the back of the cantina, taking a seat at one of the booths. Lynx stepped in after him and went to the bar, making himself look like just another customer. All in all lynx didn't look out of place, this cantina had been subject to were wolfs, vampires, morphers, metalines (a weird tytpe of human machine breed) and just about any other magical being you could think of.
Alak ordered a drink and looked around at the other patrons of the bar. Lynx kept him in the corner of his eye, not giving any clues that he was watching alak, but making sure he didn't lose him. He would sigh as he thought, something wasn't right, something wasn't right at all, the bounty mustve been high." Great." He would down his drink and have another ready soon. He leaned back slightly before a voice caught his attention." One swipe, and you would be dead." He opened an eye." Really now lynx?" he asked, the demi human was well known, if by face not name." What you after the bounty?" he asked in a calm voice.
Lynx smiled." I don't need it. I need a fighter." Alak looked at him." Really and what do you want to fight?" he asked. " well I've got an army, just no generals." Alak smiled as he shook his head." Doesn't sound like my type of gig."
Lynx shook his head.' Not much of a choice for you, if Eric attacked you." Alak looked at him." So your saying you can stop him?" lynx shook his head." I can remove the bounty." Alak smirked." Well then, I'm alak. Nice to meet ya lynx." Lynx smiled." Alak? Not the guy I was looking for. So why don't you give me your real name." Alak froze at those words and looked at him." How…"
Well sorry to take your attention away from the cantina but back at the calroy residense something was in the works, something that would affect lynx and alak more then they knew. " so then drake is it a deal?" Eric asked as he smiled." You bring alak here, dead or alive and I promise kims hand to you." He said as he nodded." So then drake I will see you around, I have a hunt to continue." Eric said as he grabbed his black trench coat.
Eric stepped outside and looked up at the sky.a grin made itself more pronounced on his face as he walked from the house.axe who had been listening in from the stair case padded quietly to his masters room. He slipped into her room on the fourth floor and sat her down quikly." Kim, listen." He said as he talked." Master, dad he promise you to man."
Kim looked at him in surprise." What do you mean?" she asked as she thought, her mother told him she would never allow Kim being promised to a man with out her consent, but her father seemed to be following his dead wifes wishes less and less. She sighed heavily in defeat." To whom?" she asked, hoping it was at least someone she knew and was friends with.
Axe looked at her sadly." Eric, fighter in army." She looked up sharply." WHAT?!" her mood jumped from sad about her mothers wishes being violated to pure anger." I'm NOT going to marry a murderer!" axe would look at her." Worse. He kill alak to marry you." She would tilt her head slightly in surprise. "My father is giving my hand away over a BOUNTY!?" she would close her eyes and count to ten before looking at axe." Go now, ill make sure no one knows your gone, warn alak, hurry brother." She whispered to axe.
Axe nodded and left out the window, Kim watched him go and quikly began to make plans, she would not marry Eric, even if she had to kill herself, or even better him. Axe would leave, following the still fresh scent trail untill it had lead him to the cantina. He watched the entrance, knowing there was no way he a slave could get in, but he could wait till alak came out.
So have you been waiting to hear what happened in the cantina? Well here it is. Alak had looked at lynx in surprise, not knowing that someone had known his real name, he preyed lynx didn't know his crest. " so?" he sighed." Heh just reverse the letters." He whispered." So its true, your not alak, but Kala, must be a family name." Alak, who was now Kala, nodded." Kinda.every third generation."
Lynx smirked, his eyes holding how he had figured it out, but he would never tell. " so the blue is in the genes?" Kala nodded." Yeah and the name is every third generation, when we grow up we switch to alak." He would sigh." How did you figure out?" lynx smiled." I looked where you didn't want anyone too. That's why you kept hitting the calroy family house. You didn't want anyone to question what happened to the Azure crest, isn't that right."
Kala looked at him in utter surprise." How the hell?!" lynx smiled." I have a few informants. One being a wolf who can hunt down any info I need." Kala looked at him." Do I get a name?"
Lynx thought for a moment." Only a name no crest." Kala nodded to this condition." Her name is Mimi, very good vampire, along with asome, a capable were wolf." Kala smirked." So its true your trying to unite the clan and the coven?" he asked, refering to the vampire coven mano di morte, the name origenated from the words deaths hand, a coven that came from italy long ago, and a were wolf clan luna di sangue, a german clan that like the vampire clan came to these lands long ago. Both lines had new blood in them so for the magority they sent the younger wolfs and vamps to do the work, while the origonals, if they were alive played as elders watching and teaching
Lynx nodded." Yeah that's my goal, I'm trying to set up a kingdom." Kala laughed." Watch it talk like that will get you thrown in the gallows." Lynx laughed." Lets see Jesse take me in. he couldn't even if he sent his entire army after me." Kala would shake his head and stand up. " ive got a few places to be." He said as he went for the door. Lynx nodded." Well you know how to contact me." He said as he turned." That guy orphen he works for me."
Kala stopped and turned." What?" he asked as he took a step back to him." How do you know orphen?" he asked lynx quikly." That depends. He hangs out at the theatre." Lynx said as he left. Kala sighed and took his exit as well. He turned down an alley and heard someone land behind him, he twisted as he swung his left leg around intent on hurting who ever it was. A hand with pearly white nails grabbed his foot." Calm alak." Axe whispered." Axe come to warn. Eric, army man, he come hurt you."
Kala looked at him and nodded." Right, I remember when he beat me into that wall why?" axe shook his head." No he come to kill. If Eric kill you, he get Kim as prize." Kala stopped and looked to him." Really now?" he would rub his chin." Ok then, thanks for the warning I geuss." He said before nodding.' Ok then go."Axe nodded and left him be.
Chapter five. memories return
Kala sighed as he continued to walk, his feet carrieing him to the south side of the town. The easiest way to tell was the fact that on the four sides of the town were the four wealithest families, almost like terratory. Calroy at north, strisis west, memso east, and Azure south. He stopped as the old mansion came into veiw. He looked at it, worn down, abandonned, and desolite, his families pinnacle long past. All of his family dead after the mass murderer hit his house, he had gotten away, but his crest was still inside. threw out his whole life he had been kept indoors, he never had travelled farther then his back yard.
His care taker ( all the richer chidren had them, like axe to Kim) was a slave by the name of shadow X. shadow wasn't really a slave, his father baught him, and set him loose. He then hired him to take care of Kala. Kalas father was a good man, he was probably the best of the four families. The mayor lived in the direct center of the town.
He remembered the night it happened, he was ten, and he had the worst night of his life. Memories flew at him as he remembered getting woken up, shadow taking him out the back door. His mothers body was in the hall, and his father was fighting the assasin. He continued walking until he got in the run down remains of the burned down house. " I geuss time takes no prisoners." He whispered as he walked. He looked around, before catching the old stair case. He smirked as he set a hand on the banister. Suddenly the room turned upside down, his vision blurred and the last things he remembered were a luaghing sound, and a throbbing at the base of his skull...
