Hey everyone! I am so sorry for the long update! College's hard, arguments with my mom and my mac is being fixed! Primus, I'll try and update it through this mac temporarily. To bad, my mac is back, wohoo!


Chapter 8: Thrill Of The Hunt

I am pissed! Yeah, that's right! All because Tsume won't give a damn for Toboe. Well this time, I won't have to see that grey wolf again. Anyways, he deserved that slap I gave him. But...

" Why do I feel guilty?" I asks myself. Forget it Canista! Just find a way to get home.

' But how?' I ask myself.

Right now, I am catching up with Toboe. Well, he is still a juvenile and a young one that is. I have to help him until he is ready to fend for himself. Besides, Toboe reminds me of someone.

Someone very special to me.

" You don't have to follow me, Canista," the red wolf insists. I stood at the side, keeping an eye out for anyone that passes by. At the same time, I watch as the young wolf tries to chase the crows away from what looked like a wrapper of food.

" I'll show Tsume that I can handle on my own," he continues. He snaps his jaws and growls to make himself more intimidating but the crows kept coming back as if it's just nothing.

" I am a wolf after all!" he growls. I step back a bit. Well, do you want to stand next to something with sharp teeth? I DON'T THINK SO!

Just then, Toboe drops down and whines in pain. I quickly kneel at his side. " What's wrong?"

" I-I don't know!" he whines. " But it hurts! Can't you hear it?"

I look up, close my eyes to concentrate. I could barely hear anything except the whines of the red wolf. But all I could say, is that I can hear a faint high-pitched cry. Almost at a high frequency!

" A little," I admit. I place both of my hands onto the poor wolf's ears. It took about maybe a minute or two to settle down. Toboe look at me with a cute wolfish smile.

" Thanks Canista," he thanked me gratefully. " The sound is gone now."

Before I could say something, a girl rushes to the alley, staring at us. It was Leara! It seems like she's staring at Toboe with a desperate yet fear in her eyes. My red wolf companion steps in front of me.

" Leara," he woofs quietly. " It's me. Please don't be afraid and I'm sorry I killed your bird. Can we-"

" FATHER!" she hollered. " FATHER THERE IS A WOLF!"

Oh damn! We have to run. Now!

" RUN!" I yelled as Toboe overtook me in sprinting. Well, he's a wolf of course and I'm just a chunky teenage girl!

We ran, not knowing when to stop. Even with a stitch in my hip, I keep up with Toboe. Suddenly, our path is block by a wall. On my left, there is another wall with what I guessed, a sewage pipe.

" We're trapped," said Toboe. I was too busy thinking of a way to escape. Just then, Leara shows up again.

This time, Toboe has his human illusion on. I don't know how I could differentiate it but hey, it's kind of interesting!

" Leara," he greets softly. " I'm not going to hurt you. You got to trust me." He wants to approach her but she steps back in fear.

" Stay away from me!" she cries. " You're not normal!"

" Hey!" I growl, stepping in front of my new friend. " Just leave him alone if you're scared of him. Isn't that hard for you?!

Now she turns her attention to me. " W-who are you?"

" A friend. His friend!" I jerk my thumb towards my wolf-human friend. Toboe look at me with disbelieve. I briefly nod at him. He smiles.

Just then, the both of us heard a metal shift. It was an opened manhole. It took a few seconds before one-

No, TWO heads coming out!
