Chapter Two: Stranger in the Woods
Nisroc's ears perked up as he heard a faint snap of a twig.
His eyes opened, and he jumped up alertedly.
Rephaim was gone, either with Stevie Rae, or he went hunting, because a different scent was attracting towards Nisrocs' senses.
As swift as he was, he trotted over towards a bush, closer to the scent.
It was there, when he saw a figure, wandering about the woods.
Nisroc remained in place, waiting for the figure to come closer, his fur bristled, and his teeth slowly began to show.
"Stevie Rae!"
The female's voice made Nisroc calm down immediately.
'What is she doing here?' Nisroc wondered.
It was Stevie Rae's friend, Zoey, but if Stevie Rae was visiting the town, then how could Zoey be here.
Nisroc moved out of hiding, making his human form, as he made himself known to Zoey.
"Who are you?" Zoey asked.
"I am Nisroc, and, what are you doing..." Nisroc stopped his sentence when the same familiar snap of a twig sounded.
"I was looking for..."
"Shh!" Nisroc moved swiftly beside Zoey, and covered her mouth, and he looked out at where the sound came from.
He ignored her questioning struggle, and strained his eyesight as far out as it would go.
It was then, that he found the owner of the snaps, a human was walking through the leaves, dressed in camoflauge to blend in, but as soon as Nisroc spotted him, he took his hand away from Zoey's mouth, and grabbed her arm, and ran.
Nisroc was a fierce wolf, but there was one thing he feared more than anything... Hunters.
He went into a dark cave, Zoey following behind him.
"What's going on?" Zoey whispered.
"Shh." Nisroc repeated his silence word.
He listened intently.
The footsteps became lighter and lighter.
Soon, they were gone.
"Nisroc!" Rephaim called in the distance.
Once he knew it was safe, he exited the cave, finding Rephaim leading Shadow, Talon, and Stevie Rae in his direction.
"Zoey, what are you doing way out here?" Stevie Rae asked when the two walked out of the cave.
"I was looking for you, and then Nisroc found me, then he just...Freaked out." Zoey said.
"Freaked out?" Rephaim chuckled, "He does not. Freak. Out."
"There was a hunter here in the woods." Nisroc said, which made Rephaim's expressions grow serious and alert.
"A what?" Stevie Rae asked.
"A hunter, the kind that kills wolves. I think we need to move away from here for a while." Nisroc said.
"We can't just move... I mean, this is our home. It has been for two years." Stevie Rae said.
"Well would you rather move to save yourself, or just let us stay here to die." Nisroc growled at Stevie Rae.
Stevie Rae looked down, a little hurt.
"Not that I am agreeing one hundred percent with him, but moving would be the best option. I don't want to cause any trouble with any humans." Rephaim said.
Stevie Rae was torn, she knew it was best to leave, but, she'd leave behind her friends, her family... But then again, Rephaim, Nisroc, Shadow and Talon were her friends and family, and there was one thing she learned over the past two years...
A Wolf Pack Stays Together...
A/N: Yes this was probably slow, but I just all of a sudden felt like writing something about wolves, and this is my only fanfiction that mentions wolves, so. I'm sorry for disappearing, I am really trying on this story, it's just...
Never mind, just hope you enjoyed this, and do any of you realize how I put Nisroc and Zoey's position? And yes I changed the category to Rephaim and Stevie Rae. I will try to write the next chapter soon, because I am going on a long trip soon, so I am going to bring loads of notebook paper, and write and write and write until my hands don't work anymore.
Well, Merry Christmas everyone!
