I let out the fitful yelp as the black female had my windpipe in her throat, lifting my body off the ground before slamming it down as I let another yelp and she ripped at my throat roughly before letting go with a growl and I whined as I rolled to my back in submissive way but I said nothing to them as the young orangey male looked over me.
He was even bigger up close and it caused me to roll again onto my stomach, ears back and blood dripping from the bite mark around my neck. It must have been bringing all the wolves in as the smell of my blood wafted the air around them, growls and snarls echoed the area around me and I knew I was in deep shit if I didn't find a way to run and get away. I had been told of this pack. They roamed more than they were in their own territory.
They were fierce, feisty and plain nasty as they fought on to keep themselves alive. I had no idea how I was going to get away but my neck was starting to hurt and I was starting to feel weaker before I notice I was in yet another set of jaws but I didn't even fight. My pack was dead. I deserved to be dead as well… after watching as my best friend and sister die before my eyes.
But then a wolf growled, "Let her be. She is too weak to even both our energy on." I say it was the Alpha because as he finished I was dropped on the ground with a thump as the dirt blew up my nose and I whined in pain as the wolves near me snarled and just walked on me to go back to the line.
The female Alpha barked slightly, "Why are you here? This territory is very rarely trespassed on." Her bark was ever so soft compared to the rest of the them around me. Her bark seemed kind and delicate like a mothers would be then again as Alpha I bet she already was a mother.
"I…I was running from my territory as wolves invaded it. I just want to past through," I whined slightly and slunk back, blood still leaking from the bite.
"And you call yourself a fucking wolf! You're a pest and a disgrace to our wolf kind," the skeleton like wolf growled and moved forward and went to attack before he was snarled back but the Alpha Female and she move forward, motioning for the black female to move away from me and I whined as deep blue wolf walked close to me, her head seeming high still.
"You seem to be a strong wolf. Little training but still strong. Pein…" She turned and looked at the Orangey Alpha and he nodded before moving in and grabbing my scruff and lifting me before placing me down and I yelp but he growled me quiet.
"She would be worth training. How would you think of joining us and being trained as a warrior?" He looked at me and I knew I was dead. It had been my dream to be trained to fight but now it seemed it was happening and I smiled at the Alpha as he moved back.
"I… would love to," I tried to sit up by whined in pain as I fell back down. I knew I was weak with little training but I now somewhere in my line there had been a fighter.
"What is your name?" The Female spoke and nudged me slightly, seeming to be able to move me into a comfortable position without being in pain and she smiled slightly.
"My name is Talon," I said and many wolves just watched me and the Alpha male, Pein, seemed to laugh as he turned to walk away.
"That isn't a scary name. I think Kira(1) is better. Welcome to our Pack, Kira," He said as he walked away and I looked at him closely. I had been given a name from the Alpha and I would now respect that name.
I had a limit of a few hours to heal before I was forced into training but I didn't mind. Those hours got me to learn most of the wolves names. It was sunrise by the time I was made train with the members in the back. I was first to train with the first wolf I met. Zetsu was his name. I learnt that he indeed did have two split personalities and I didn't seem to mind at all as I just worked that he was a member that used his jaws more than anything else.
He was strong and I had a hard time dodging the wolf as he kept coming in to bite me. He only got in two or three small bites as he was asked to not really hurt me. In this lesson I was taught that I had to use my fangs in more ways than just biting the opponent.
I learnt that biting at branches of trees gave you weapons to use against your opponent and to stun them. But I also learnt that tree branches turn your teeth if you aren't careful with your use. I was sad when my lesson with Zetsu was over but I was soon brought into another lesson.
The greyer black wolf went by the name of Itachi. He taught me that just because I had claws and fangs that a battle still comes down to the wolf with the most brains of how to use those weapons. That all wolves should have a strategy before diving into a battle and I then had to fight him, trying to use my head for once. And I did too.
He decided to run at me so I ran back at him and he then turned to hit me from the side but we ended up head butting each other before we both ended up laughing as my head was aching but I didn't mind.
When I was finished training with Itachi the older wolves went hunting for more food so I was left to train with Keite(2), the young orangey wolf, and Shia, the black female. Keite, I found out, was Pein and Konan's, The female Alpha, only surviving pup. He was a fierce fighter, lead within the pack and Shia was always by his side as she was very close to being better than him so the two lead.
Shia was rough when it came to training but she was so good at it that I still listened and followed. The two were set on teaching me how to work in a team but I was amused with it as they never stopped arguing with each other.
"Your useless! Why the hell was I paired with a moron wolf!" she snarled at him and he snarled back and put his tail high as if to say that he was in charge.
"I'm the useless one? Come closer to me and say it!" he snarled again as he stepped closer and I gave a growl as they looked like they were about to start fighting and then they both looked at me, Shia giving me a deathly growl that cause me to sink back a bit.
"Shia. Keite. Stop fighting and get back to training Kira team work," I heard Itachi growl to them and I smiled at him as he walked over, blood spread over his muzzle and as he leaned over me I gave his lower muzzle a lick, taking in a bit of blood that was there. "Time to stop now anyway. It's time for food."
Keite lowered his tail and huffed back and walked over to where the deer had been dragged and I watched as Shia followed him over and sat a small distance away. Then I felt Itachi's gaze on me, "I don't know if your pack did anything like this but we eat in order of importance. Pein, Konan and Keite will eat first. Then the hunters before the rest of us. Due to this and the size of the deer there may not be much left."
I nodded and shuffled down as if I just wasn't hungry anyway. I was taken into the pack. The least I could do was make sure everyone had enough food first. I can always hunt a rabbit if I got hungry. But before I knew it Itachi nudged me up, "Come on. It's our turn."
I plopped back down, "i… I'm not hungry." I said and he sighed before moving to get some food before I was looked at by Konan, her deep violet eyes looking down at me.
"You need to eat, Kira," She said simply and I whined, I still wasn't use to the new name but I was much better than my old name. It was a lot better. But as she spoke to me I shook my head, telling her I wasn't hungry which was as much of a lie as saying that I had wings. My stomach was aching for the desire for food. She shook her head, "Alright."
She then turned and walked away from me as I lay there. After everyone finishes lunch I will get back into training with a growling annoyed stomach but I would ignore it and just make them all happy.
Kira in Japanese is pronounced 'Killer'
Keite is Pronounced 'kite'
I hope you enjoyed the third chapter as you get to know the characters a little better and get to know that not all of them are the same as wolves.
