Chapter 2: WolfSaeiga reborn
Cloud jumped up and screamed "STAND TO STAND TO" as Kacie hit the red switch next to the light. An air raid siren blasted throughout Saeiga Hill as Cloud and Ryan ran out of the door while Taylor and Wolf moved Kiara, Kacie, and Mura to the back of the kitchen, standing at the ready in front of them with claws. Cloud broke the glass armory door and took out 3 bolt-action rifles. He undid the strap on one and hoisted it on his back. He gave Ryan the other and wielded the 3rd. They ran out onto the ramparts as they saw Kane running towards the gates with Sarah and another girl who he didn't know. Cloud roared "COME ON YOU ROTTIN DIRT BAGS!" He shot at one of the fevered, hitting it in the head it screamed and fell backwards as he saw 20 more running after Kane. Kane and the girl burst through but Sarah tripped and fell forward onto the ground. Ryan put the bolt back in place as Cloud threw Kane the other rifle. He saw Sarah and the fevered about to reach her. He jumped up over the ramparts and gripped the WolfSaeiga's handle. He saw Sarah, helpless. His mind flashed with one purpose: to save her from horrid death. He pulled out the blade and didn't even realize it had become the reverse blade sword his father had used. He landed in front of Sarah and felt a flash of words flow into his mind. His eyes filled with the color of sweet, sticky blood as he swung the blade through the air at the fevered, letting loose
"MURA RAE KAZANA!!!!!!!"
Cloud's roar was heard all across the kingdom as people in every town for 100 miles turned their heads to hear the roar of power that had shattered the silence throughout the land. The sky darkened as WolfSaeiga's blade glowed bright yellow and unleashed an enormous swirling ball that flew at the ground. As it touched the ball exploded into multiple ripples of earthquake bolt energy, all blue and green, even a hint of yellow as it tore the ground to shreds. It obliterated the fevered as people saw a swirling green aura over the field where the ball struck. Cloud still had his blade in the air, panting. His vision started to blur. In front of him was a crater, and behind that was torn up ground and gigantic boulders. He panted "Sarah…she's safe" He gave a small moan and the blade returned to its normal self as he fell forward into the crater. He rolled a few times into the center of the extremely large hole. Sarah rushed to get up and screamed for her parents. Sarah jumped into the crater and sat Cloud up, he was out cold. Taylor jumped through the gate and landed in the crater. He quickly scanned for other fevered before he picked up Cloud and ran into the fortress, Sarah quickly following. Sarah stopped and saw WolfSaeiga in the crater. She jumped back down and picked it up, it was so heavy. She carried back inside as Kane and Ryan slammed the gates shut and bolted, locked, and barred the gates. Taylor burst through the mansion doors and rushed upstairs, Sarah following with the WolfSaeiga in her arms and Wolf with claws still sharp and ready to kill. Taylor kicked open the door to Cloud's room, placed him on his bed and walked back towards Sarah. Going past her he said quickly "Stay, watch him, protect him" Sarah looked after him in confusion as Wolf patted her shoulder and went after him. She looked back through the doorway at Cloud and his room. Cloud's room was neat and clean, only because his mother stressed him to clean it every few days. His bed was in the center back of the room, directly opposite of the door. Above it was huge window with brown curtains. Since it was a mansion, his room was absolutely huge. In one corner was a drawn back, half circle curtain that had a half circle rock pool built into it, but it took up about a fourth of the room, making a large pool. On the other side of the room she saw his desk with papers strewn across it, littering the top and the soft brown carpet around it. On the clothes hooks beside the door she saw four changes of his brown Kimono-Hori. She looked closely at the carefully knitted, indestructible fabric, wondering "I wonder how cute I would look in this" She quickly thrust the image out of her head and shook her head till her hair was flapping around her shoulders. "Come on Sarah, pull yourself together" she told her self as she went to a large square table situated in the room and placed the green blade on it. She saw the straightness of it and scowled in thought "I thought it was a reverse blade when he had saved me" She shrugged and went over to sit on the bed. Cloud's hair flowed out beneath him and his eyes were calm and peaceful, shut softly. Sarah saw the sheath still tied to his back and stared at Cloud's face. Deciding that he wouldn't mind, she pushed and heaved until she finally turned him on his stomach. Sarah brushed his hair out of the way…such soft, smooth hair. Sarah slapped herself mentally and worked on the lacings of the sheath. Her hands rubbed against his back as she did so. "Such a firm back" She sighed in her mind. Sarah slapped herself mentally again, shrieking in her mind "PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER AND STOP DROOLING!" as she undid one knot she moved to the second. As her hands pressed against his back Cloud's dog ears flattened on the top of his head and he gave a small, pitiful doggy whine. Sarah gasped out as he moaned "Sarah, what are you doing?" Sarah blushed crimson as she undid the second knot and pulled the sheath off of him "I…uh…I was undoing your….your sheath knots…um" Cloud tried to rollover but couldn't "Ugh, where's dad?" He muffled into the bed. Sarah slid the sheath onto the WolfSaeiga and replied "He went back outside, but why I don't know" Cloud propped himself on his arms and tried flopped over, grunting "Grrrrrrr, this mattress is too stiff." Sarah looked over at him curiously; didn't he sleep on that mattress every night? If so then why did she never hear him complain about it?! Cloud gasped out in pain and Sarah ran to his side "Cloud what's wrong!??!" Cloud kept his head up so it wouldn't rest on his bed "My head, the mattress, it's too stiff, can't rest!" Sarah crept up on the bed next to him and sat with her legs bended and beside her. He pulled Cloud's head up onto her legs and pulled the rest of his body up so he wouldn't be strained. She asked "Better?" Cloud sighed "yeah, you….you smell good Sarah" Sarah looked at him in shock "Well, thanks….thanks Cloud." Meanwhile her head roared "But he said I smelled bad a lot of times!!! He's never been so forward and kind before, maybe he likes me! Nah, I'm sure this is just another casual day for him." Sarah poked Cloud's ear, making it twitch "Cloud? Cloud can you hear me?" All she heard was his steady, deep breathing, he was asleep. Sarah sighed and slowly picked up her hand, stroking Clouds long brown hair with care, moving it away from his face so she could watch over him.
