Chapter 2
Kate gasped as she came to a halt... "SNOW!" She yelled out
He didn't move
Kate ran up to him and felt his neck... "Ok we still have a heart beat but he's knocked out cold!" "Knowing something must have broken she set him down carefully while trying to wake him up.
Snow laid there completely motionless as Kate continued to try and wake him up. A few moments later his left eye started to twitch
"Snow... snow answer me?"
His left eye opened and he lifted his left paw and placed it on her cheek. "Is that you Amy?"
"Amy? no no snow its Kate, you took a big spill!"
"Where the heck am I?"
"Snow your on the hill we were boarding on..."
"Oh... AAARRRRGGGGHHHH!" His pain finally hit him and screamed in the worst painful howl imaginable
"Snow where does it hurt?"
"In my leg... And my arm"
KIM looked down and saw things out of place... "Oh man..." She said nervously
"Is it bad?"
"Uh Snow don't move, you broke your left leg and your right arm..."
"I'll try not to..."
Unknowingly to snow KIMS spirit appeared behind Kate.. (Only Kate can see Kim in the spirit state..) "KIM what can we do.. this... this is my fault.."
KIM looked at his wounds.. "Theres only one thing I can do? Much like what we did last night for his wound only much much more powerful... and also I've never tried it before?" Kate nodded "Snow listen to me KIM is going to take over from here do what she says and stay calm!"
"Okay..."
Kate began to transform into KIM and KIM was soon in the drivers seat.. "OK snow you need to listen to me, this is going to be very painful but you need to try not to scream out ok!"
"Okay i'll say a few words to ease the pain whilst your doing it... If you don't mind"
"Just say it as quiet as possible.." Unlike the blue aura which healed Snow last night this time KIMs paws were surrounded by a dark black mist. "Ok snow I've never tried this but I have high hopes for it... Do you trust me?"
"I trust you..." Snow looked up to her with hope evident in his eyes and nodded to give her the go ahead
Snow quietly said to himself "For my parents my heart will stay strong. For the ones who died they will never be forgotten. My strength will be indestructible, my honour unscathed. My heart goes out to you wherever you are in the distant heavens... I will... Join you someday... This pain is for my love and that it will mend to build a stronger heart to which it may find love."
"Ok here goes nothing.." KIMs paws touched his right arm and then to his left leg and the shadow moved up his limbs. A cracking noise was heard as this dark substance began to warp and move his limbs.
"With the love I embrace..." Snow said as the pain coursed through his body
The bones inside his limbs warped and started moving into shape... KIM sat down and held her head..
"I will remain strong."
KIM began to moan as her head got light... The black shadow began to dissipate and was finished with healing his broken limbs..
Snow moaned in relief and cautiously sat in an upright position before taking a step towards standing up.
Not knowing about Snows condition.. KIM takes one look and falls backward passing out
Snow looked towards KIM and stood up and walked a few steps before stumbling over. He stood back up and rushed towards Kim and lifted her head up
KIM was unresponsive
"Kim?" He said softly
KIMS eyes began to lift slowly... as she put her paws on her head...
Snow smiled. "Welcome back..."
A small smile stretched across her face... "Ugh... i gave to much of my darkness.."
"Are you okay?" Snow asked staring into her eyes
"That black substance... (she said softly) Is what makes me tick, along with the light aura.. The black resembles the evil that I came from and the light resembles what Kate has introduced me to.. Together they make who I am.."
"I'm sorry I had to put you through this... It's not what I wanted to happen to you..."
KIM smiles.. "yea but your back on your feet"
"And I am great full for that... Thank you." He said as he gave her a friendly hug and pulled away after a few seconds
KIM slowly sat up and just looked around... "Never thought Id use that again?"
"Again? So this isn't the first?"
"Well about a year ago I wasn't this sane... just put it that way.. I did things that Im not proud of.."
"You don't have to tell me if its too much for you..."
"Pftt thats nothing to me now.. but you see I wasn't always like this.. I was this heartless monster as what many called me.. I put many in danger because of my recklessness and carelessness.. Kate was the most scared out of all of them, I mean I cant blame her having this unknown thing inside you making your life a living hell isn't fun... I nearly attacked her loved one and nearly got humphrey and Lilly killed... but in the end it was me who saved them it was Kate who saved me and helped show me who I really was.
"Wow I see how you've become who you are... You've truly opened my eyes... But what did you do to get Humphrey and Lilly in a near death experience?
"Because of me... they were captured by two hunters.. Dale and Richard.. Richard was the more experience hunter and Dale was his young apprentice, but the thing was Dale wanted nothing to do with it.. but they captured Humphrey and Lilly and took them to the kennels located at the ranger station... and used them as bait to get me.. Richard threatened me that if I didn't show it wouldn't be good for there health if you know what I mean.. Kate begged me to help but I was to stubborn and heartless, but from what I saw that night was a broken heart... a heart of someone who has lost something important and.. thats what made me realise what I needed to do..."
"So all these events lead to who you are now. I'd hate to imagine being put in that situation and eventually coming to a decision where those lives were more important than you thought..."
"Well it was my fault they were in this position in the first place, and I had to quit thinking of my self and help her for once instead of making her life hell like I was.. You see my mind wasn't all there. From my past along with wondering in the darkness for several years I wasn't what you would call... SANE."
"I'm just glad I met you when you finally took the path down to a peaceful yet adventure filled life. You've got a great life now but I feel a little sympathetic to your past."
"You don't even know the half of my past.."
"Well for the sake of wasting words. Lets do something that doesn't involve getting injured..."
KIM chuckles "Yea that sounds like a plan to me, I don't want to have to repair anymore broken limbs today!"
Snow and Kim walked along and they both stayed silent whilst they proceeded into the park. Snows mind was away from reality and concentrating on the day he met Lexi.
KIM couldn't help but noticed that Snow was out on another planet? "Hey snow do you have something on your mind?"
"Huh? Yeah..." Snow shook his head and regained his bearings "I was just thinking about the day I met Lexi..."
KIM paused.. "Lexi... Kate's Daughter?"
"Yeah..."
"Not like I have to ask but you like her don't you?"
"I think I do... She's indescribable I don't know how I'm gonna tell her how I feel about her... I just hope she likes me back..."
"Well when we get back I suggest you go talk to her, I mean I'm sure shed like to see you?"
"Yeah sure..."
"You want to know something snow.." Kim took a short pause before adding "something that only Kate and I know about."
"What's that?" Snow looked towards Kim and noticed that she clearly had something to say
"When Lexi was born it was a big deal, not only was she the first born but she was... different.."
Snow tilted his head with his ears fully pent up to the point
"Kate was unaware of it but I realised it right away.."
"What was so different?"
"Lexi looked... just like me..."
"How did that occur?.."
"I think that some how part of my DNA was mixed in with Humphrey's and Kate's and it impacted on of her pups.. giving her my appearances but.. not these appearances! (KIM waves her paws up and down her body) My appearances of when I was alive!
"Geez well you looked pretty back then and those blue eyes just..." Snows voice trailed off as he thought more of Lexi
"Well after she was born and I brought that to Kate attention she gave me a reaction that i wasn't expecting at all? She was actually excited about it and she told me that she wanted to name her after me. SO that plans where to name her KIM but that wasn't my original name.. Lexi was my name!"
"I think it's a beautiful name... Lexi..."
"Thank you but that old me is long gone and it pains me to actually see Lexi.."
"Well it looks like we're at your den..."
"Huh... sorry guess I just got caught up in the conversation..."
They both walked up the hill and entered the den with Humphrey and Lexi both chit chatting about the park
KIM went and sat down next to Lexi and Snows jaw dropped
"Hello Lexi..." Snow voice trembled in nervousness
"Oh hi again! Your Snow right?" Lexi gets up and walks towards him.
"Oh ahem, yes I am..." His knees started to shake
"Are?" Lexis head tilts. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah, yeah! Nothing wrong here..." Snow chuckled nervously
Humphrey walked and sat down next to KIM. "So this is the wolf Kate was telling me about?" KIM nods "Yea he's going to stay with us, Id tell you what happened to his other pack but thats private." Humphrey just shakes his head and then chuckles "He seems a bit nervous doesn't he?"
KIM giggled "and for good reason."
"So what do you like?" Snow asked looking towards Lexi
"What do you mean?" She asked
"Flowers? Games? Me?" Snow said softly
"What was that last thing?" She asked
"Games..." Snow replied
"Well i like games but i don't have any ideas for any?"
"Wanna play chase the wolf?"
"How do you play?"
Snow gave her a cheeky wink and sprinted out of the den "TRY AND GET ME!" He shouted
"Pfft that wont be a problem!" Lexi shouted as she bolted out of the den.
Snow couldn't control his laughter and continued running from a very happy wolf chasing him with a elated smile. "Watch this!" He said and ran up a tree and did a somersault in the air over Lexi's head and sprinted near the patch of fermented berries
Lexi turned and ran after him
Snow tripped on a twig and glided in the batch of blueberries covering his fur in berry juice
Lexi laughed and jumped him pinning him down by his arms
"Told you id get you."
"Ha ha! I guess you did." He said breathing heavily
Lexi jumps off laying down beside him
Snow rolled over and laid himself down near her and licked some of the purple substance that stained his fur.
"Well that was short.. but fun!"
"Yeah!" Snow smiled and looked once more into her eyes and a loving smile formed on his face
"What?"
"I was just admiring your eyes."
"what about them?"
"They look beautiful... I would trade all of my tomorrows for just one last stare."
"Well you have nice eyes your self!"
"Really? Thanks..." Snow put his paw on hers and said "you're one the nicest girls I've ever met and you've got some amazing parents." He removed his paw and ignored his past
"Well thank you! Yea I cant be any happier but Im still getting used to my moms condition... KIM?"
"I'd call it a gift... She has it because she wants to protect you and her family and not to mention the pack. But what I admire is that I have you as a friend."
"Yeah like wise.."
Snow and Lexi sat together for a while admiring the scenery and the mess that had caught up in their fur. Snow couldn't help feeling lucky to have a friend by his side
"So what now?"
"We could clean ourselves off in the lake?"
"Sure lets do that, my fur is starting to stick together..."
"You go first and i'll wait here"
"Sure!" Lexi gets up and runs to the nearest lake
Snow smiled and chuckled as she left towards the lake
Lexi continues to walk and a small smile grew on her face.. "Maybe this is the one that I can finally be with?" She thought to her self
Snow went off and found a desperate pond and immediately jumped in and cleaned himself up in a hurry before Lexi returned.
"Well I think you and I feel much better now? Do you agree?"
"Yeah I feel so much better and more relaxed..."
"Yea I agree.." Lexi yawned
Snow smiled warmly "You need a nap?"
"Yea probably I was up really late last night... I couldn't sleep for some reason?"
"Why what's wrong?"
"Oh nothings wrong just couldn't get comfortable i guess?"
"You wanna rest next to me? I may be of comfort?"
Lexi yawns... "No its ok theres still day light out!"
"You sure?.. If you say so..."
"Yea I'm sure!"
"You wanna go back to your den? I'm feeling a little sleepy..."
"sure I don't mind!" Then Lexis ears perked up... "No not now?"
"Huh?"
"Snow..." She whispered.. "Don't make any loud sounds... we need to get back to the den now!"
Snow nodded in agreement and followed Lexi, quietly towards her den
The noise began to get louder... "RUNN!" Lexi yelled out
Snow picked up the pace and ran as fast as he can
Lexi ran as fast as she could with snow to far behind and then something large jumped out at both of them and pinned them to the ground.
"Argh!" Snow said as he slumped to the ground
The mass began to laugh... "Well well well look what we have hear boys!" Laughter was heard around them
"What the fuck do you want?" Snow said with a growl forming in his throat
"OOO this one got a mouth on him!" Lexi tried to turn her head that was ploughed into the ground trying to get a glimpse of who it was?
"There's a few mistakes your making here. Firstly you've waltzed into this territory. Secondly you've not only just angered me. You've angered a wolf in love!" Snow kicked his his hind legs and forced the wolf flying into the air. Red started to form in Snows eyes his fur on edge and all rage was eminent in his eyes.
"Ohh and a fighter to!" Lexi got up and looked at the wolf who attacked her and Snow. Lexi gasped, "AXEL!" She screamed
"You know this bastard?!"
"When my mom finds out your back shell..." "Shell what?" Axel interrupted "Use that Demon of hers to stop me and all the other so called rejects that she kicked out of the pack... Don't make me laugh!"
"She kicked you out because you were rouge and dangerous!"
"Not to mention low on smarts!" Axel chuckled "You've got a big mouth just like your bitch mom!"
"Lexi... What is going on! Before I pile-drive this guy into a fucking tree!"
"Don't bother Snow... this creep was one of the strongest alphas in our pack before my mom kicked his ass and these other goons out of the pack!"
Snow snarled and took his place next to Lexi
"And now... We have the bait to take her down once and for all.. No one... I mean no one makes Axel look like fool!" Axel snarled
Snow looked deep into Axel's eyes and made a large snap with his razor sharp teeth
"Hmm... Don't make me laugh kid, I've killed bigger wolves than you!" Lexi stepped forward "Lets us go, we have nothing to do with all of you!"
Snow turned away with Lexi and said "don't worry I'll protect you... You mean everything to me..."
Lexi looked at Snow... "Snow you cant possibly stop these guys.." Lexi looks up and sees the other banned wolves kick out of the pack. "What?" Axel said "You didn't think we actually let you get away alive did you?"
"Okay that's it!" Snow said annoyed at one of the wolves and quickly turned to face them and sprinted towards them and took hold of one of their necks and twisted it with a massive crack. "Stay the fuck away or the rest of you is gonna get it!"
Axel ran up and grabbed him by the neck! "I've just have had about enough you you!" Axel slammed snow into the ground with a big slap onto the ground knocking him out.. "NOOO!" Lexi yelled as she ran to his side. "Now its your turn!" Axel yelled as he raised his paw, but before he could give the final blow a loud crack is heard.
A large metal trap was clenching his paw and half his arm.. "WOLFCLAW?" Lexi said softly. The out from behind the brush KIM jumps out grabbing Axel with her mouth by his neck sending them flying into the open!
Snow laid motionless as KIM stood proud and noble.
(KIM is out in the open with axel.. for the moment) Lexi looked up and saw KIM and Axel punching each other and biting as the other wolves began to run towards them! "WOLFCLAW GO NOW!" KIM yelled as she gets tackled down into the ground. Wolfclaw listening to KIMS commands slithers through the brush tripping and tying up the wolves heading for Snow and Lexi!
Wolfclaw chained most of the wolves but some managed to run away for cover. Lexi looked at snow and shook him softly... "Snow please wake up!"
Snow didn't wake he laid motionless
Lexi lifted her head as still saw KIM and Axel going at it but more was coming towards them. "KIM behind you she yelled!" As KIM got a second to look behind her she began to get ganged up on by the other wolves who managed to get away from wolfclaws grasp!
Lexi looked back to Snow and thought of more ways to wake him
The others wolves began to bite and punch KIM in every-way.. KIM Kicked and jumped and threw the wolves away from her making them whimper and cry as they fell to the ground.. KIM grabbed Axel and threw him out in the brush and ran to Lexi and Snows aid..
"Lexi are you ok?"
"Yes I'm fine but Snow?" Lexi looks down at snow who laid motionless
"We have to get him to safety!" Lexi lifted her head "KIM look!" KIM looked around them and once again they were all surrounded. Axel rubs his lip which was coved with his blood. "Nowhere to run! (breaths deeply) Nowhere to hide.. Now what are you going to do bitch?"
"Why don't you pick on someone your own size!" A wolf yelled as he jumped in front of KIM and the others. "Well son of a bitch..." Axel said "Isn't it our old friend... GARTH!"
Garth stood strong as he had his teeth shown to Axel and the other wolves.. "I wish I could say this was a nice reunion Axel! Its to bad it seems you haven't gotten any smarter!"
"Coming from a true alpha, You know we could have made a great team Garth!" "Why would I end up like a loser like the rest of you!" Axel laughed "oh so we are the losers huh! Thats a good one, but all jokes aside we have nothing to do with you all we want is that black tipped bitch behind you!" A smile stretched across Garth's face. "Well theres a problem with that Axel.. You mess with one of us... (growls were heard from all around them) You mess with all of us!
All around the area eyes and teeth began to show every wolf from the Northern pack from Humphrey to Salty we all there surrounding Axel and his rouge pack. One of the wolves ran up next to him... "Uh sir I don't think we can win this one... I... I suggest we run.." Axel snaps at him "I decided what to do here!" Axel looks around him and sees the pack.. "Hmm.. Fine Garth you made your point but this isn't over not by a long shot you had just better keep an eye on your friends KIM cause if you don't I swear it will be bad for that white one and his Girlfriends Health!" KIM showed her teeth and roared.
"Until next time!" Axel yelled as he and the other wolves ran into the wilderness. The park fell silent and everyone took a deep breath. Garth turned to KIM, "Hey are you ok?" KIM rubbed her face, which was covered in blood from the wolves she fought. "Ive been better but I'm not worried about me..." KIM turns and runs to Lexi who was Lying next to Snow who was still unresponsive. KIM took her paw and felt his neck preying that she'd feel a pulse.
KIM bowed her head and a sigh of relief when she felt his heart beat.. "He's alive but critical, we need to get him home now. Lexi you go home with your father Ill grab snow and take him back to the den." Lexi leans over and gives Snow a kiss and then runs to Humphrey and the rest of the pack. Wolfclaw gently grabs Snow and lays him on KIMs back. KIM said to her self, "you know this is the most I have ever had to help out one wolf this much..."
