Chapter 4

The stranger

It had been at least a year since Lali and her /family/ have moved home, they have settled and Lali is now almost 2 years old in wolf form

I woke up to yapping coming from Licana as she prodded Isabelle in a fail attempt of waking her up. "Licanaaaaa stop ittttt" I whined, really tired from the big weekly hunt yesterday. (The weekly hunt is where the pack goes out and hunts together to fill up the fresh kill pile at the end of the week) "Ugh, soon I'll be a trainee and I'll be able to shut her up with my claws" I thought silently, my paws felt heavy and I felt grumpy. I got up and padded out of the Nursery and walk into the clearing where Lusfia was sitting, "At least I'm old enough to leave camp a little bit" looking on the bright side I thought, I dragged my paws over to Lusfia "I'm going out" I mumble, she gave me a small nod "Be careful" She warned me with worried twinkling in her eyes. I nod and slowly pad out of camp and just keep walking, my paws getting lighter and lighter. I look up at last from the ground after 5-10 minutes of walking with my eyes locked on the floor, I still recognised where I was by scent instead of sight. "Oops, I just broke a rule by day dreaming didn't I?" I facepaw then freeze on the spot, scenting another wolf. The scent was bitter and dirty like, "Maybe a harmless loner?" I prayed silently, my heart thudding so loud I could hear it clearly. Though the paw steps of the unknowns wolf were louder, I crouch down cautiously trying to not make any sound at all. "Yuki please save me, I know I broke a pack rule but it was accidental. Please let me live, let it be some prey animal or a weak pup loner which I HOPEFULLY could take down" I prayed,almost in tears with fright. Then suddenly something pounced at me and tackled me down to the ground, pinning me down helplessly. I yelped and started to whimper in defeat without even trying to put up a fight, the wolf is much stronger than me making me have no chance of escaping out alive.I shut my eyes forcefully, after a second I peak open one. The wolf pinning me down was not much older than me but was quite strong for a pup. It had dark grey fur with dark red tufts on its face, a lighter shade of red for its muzzle, red ears that started off light red then faded to dark grey, the paws were like the wolves ears too and so was the tail but the other way around. I open my eyes fully, locking mine with the male(?)s blood red eyes, they looked like they had black particals in the blood red. The male wolf flinched as soon as its eyes met with mine, it got off of me and shook its fur. "Names Flames, I'm quite disappointed that you didn't put up any fight. You must be smart then~" He said as he licked his chest calmly, he seemed chill even though he shouldn't be here. I jump up, shaking my muddy and dirty fur from the ground and then quickly groom it. "Y-you shouldn't be here" I mumbled, scared to sound threatening in case he tried to attack me. "I know, I'm not an idiot" He snapped his blood red eyes glowing, he shook his head mumbling "What am I doing?". I sat down and tilt my head "If my mum scents you, your dead you know?". His ears flattened suddenly and he looked weak and hungry as if he was pretending for the sake of his life. He looked up at me and stuck his tongue out playfully "Wanna play?" He suddenly barked playfully and pounced at me, I quickly jump up and scoot to the side causing him to miss and jump head first into a tree. I giggle and pin him down "Who won now?" I grinned happily, my tail wagging.

A few hours of play fights later

I suddenly stop, my ears perked. I jump off Flames, lifting a paw as I sniffed the air. "Run" I blurt out quickly in a rush "Why?" He questioned me "My mums coming!"I yelp, slowly able to hear her beating wings as she flew around our territory. "W-wha-" Flames got cut of by another voice "Hm, busted" I whip around to face Isabelle, I laugh nervously "H-hi mum..." I did my cute puppy eyes to try look innocent. "Cut the puppy eyes, whats going here? whos that?" She questioned me, she seemed angry. "A-a passing stranger that...that...that I was...attacking? Yea! A passing stranger that I was attacking!" I quickly made up a fake story but it didn't sound convincing. "Lali, your coming with me and you too" She snapped as she glanced at Flames coldly.

We flew home, Isabelle carrying both me and Flames

Isabelle dropped me and Flames into the nursery and turned to Lusfia "Look after them both, Lalis grounded for a week and this pup has no home" My ears dropped as I frowned. Lusfia called me over with a flick of her tail, Flames followed me nervously. "Silly girl, always in trouble. Anyway-" She turned to Flames "Who are you little pup?" She seemed calm unlike Isabelle in this situation. Flames stood up straight "I am Flames" He dipped his head, obviously trying to make a good impression. "Cool name, I see you really want me to take a liking for you like I have with Lali?" (I mean as in like siblings/mother-daughter/son-father ect) He nodded carefully, "Your eyes really stand out and match your name" She added. Flames flattened his ears, looking embarrassed. "Lusifa, what colour are my eyes?" I suddenly blurt out, Lusfia paused and glanced at me cautiously. She hesitated "They're...green" She lied and didn't sound convincing. I look over to Flames "Is she lying?" I ask, my voice wobbly. He hesitated then sighed "I'm sorry Lusfia" He mumbled before telling me "Shes lying..." He answered truthfully. I felt hurt as I look over to Lusfia "Why did you lie? What colour are they?" I searched her face silently as she sighed, obviously regretting the lie "Ones...blue and the others red..." She said as she looked away, I could hear my heart breaking. "I'm a freak" I blurt out, my emotions pouring out

Will Lusfia try comfort her? Will Flames be accepted into the pack? Find out in Chapter 5!
