Reverie

"Damn it…" I turned towards the ship as the door popped up and out stepped Darcia, in all purple leather and hair slicked back. Oh how I longed to wipe that cocky smirk off his nasty face.

"Ah, so many of Jagarah's dogs, I thought only one of you was being allowed to roam free." Darcia sneered, "Or have you joined in the pointless journey to Paradise, too?"

"Of course they have!" Toboe bellowed before stepping in front of Cheza, "And you're not taking Cheza anywhere!" Stupid kid! Darcia smirked and a large red beam shot out of thin air at Toboe and Cheza, the pup had enough sense to knock the flower maiden out of the way but was sent flipping into the air.

"TOBOE!" Hige sprinted to the fallen pup but another red beam sent both of them flying. No, I wasn't going to let this happen!

I zigzagged with Solleks, Tsume and Kage towards the ship, there was obviously a force field to protect the cowardly Nobel. More shots were fired and I could hear Cheza scream as wolf's blood was splattered across the ground. Bloodshed for her. The air was filled with the sound of shots, screams, snarls and rubble landing. I was circling the ship, looking for some kind of weakness in the barrier.

"BLADE!" shouted Hige and I knew I was in for it, I felt the ground shake beneath my paws and my eyes were blinded by a white light as I flew into the air. My fur was singed by the heat of the laser; cuts slashed my body as I skidded across the ground. Shaking myself off I looked up to see Kiba was the last one standing; everyone else lay silently on the cold ground. I snarled at the lily white maiden as she stood staring at me only a few feet away.

"This…is all for you, you ungrateful bitch." I growled low in my throat and stepped towards her, which Darcia misread as me protecting her and I was sent cart wheeling across the ground. "Fuck…" I exhaled as I finally came to a stop.

"Come, Cheza, haven't your wolves had enough?" Darcia's cold voice chilled the air and I lay perfectly still while I scanned the others, so much blood was being lost. More shots and we all flew into the air, I put my paws out to brace myself for landing but once I hit the ground another body fell on top of me and I felt my leg crack to my shoulder. Biting back my snarl I let gravity take hold and I slid a couple feet from the momentum of whoever had fallen on me.

"Blade…" it had been Solleks; I couldn't help but let myself go soft as I looked over my little brother, so many cuts soaking the ground beneath him.

"If we die now…I'm gonna be pissed." Kage's voice carried to me from a few feet away and I smirked to myself, it would definitely suck.

"That is enough…this one will go with you." Cheza was surrendering to Darcia; I listened intently as she walked towards the ship.

"Cheza…don't go…don't leave us…" Kiba whispered and stood in her path. Was she all that mattered? The fact that his packs blood was soaking the ground had no priority to him. This was our leader? "We're wolves…we're not afraid to die."

"The whole dying thing wouldn't be the worst…but dying for her? That I have a problem with." Solleks muttered, I nodded and looked down at my front left leg. It was bent in an odd way and had gone completely numb, great.

"Here she comes…" Kage snarled as the maiden went around and gently stroked everyone's heads, as she approached me Solleks jumped up and stood over me.

"Stay away." He growled low in his throat and she backed up a couple steps, I watched as Cheza tried to do the same to Kage and received a crazed snarl from the pup.

I listened to the soft footsteps of Cheza as she walked to the ship and Solleks covered my body with his as the Nobel took off into the night sky.

"Hang in there, sis…" Solleks noticed my leg and licked it gently, "We'll get you help, soon…"
