Wolf Awoke to the feeling of the cool October air blowing on his face, he looked over to see that the front door to his cave was wide open. He forced himself out of bed and looked at the calendar to the right of his bed. His eyes widened as he realized what day it was, it was Halloween. He'd never really liked Halloween but Squirrel had convinced Panda to allow the valley to spend the night at Mung Dall's. He got up as fast as he could; and practically ripped off his closet door. He suddenly felt a sharp pain run through his head, just as soon as it started it went away. Wolf didn't stop to think about the pain he pulled on a white T shirt and his jacket. He looked in the bottom shelf for his gloves. He found them lying on top of Rose's makeup kit. He heard them snap as they stretched tightly over his hands, he bent down to look under his bed until he found what he was looking for. He reached and grabbed the hilt of his sword and fastened it to his belt. He quickly walked outside and looked around another shot of pain coursed through his head, this time he could have sworn he heard some words but couldn't make them out.
"It's about time you woke up lazy ass." He heard a familiar voice tell him.
He whipped around to see Rose standing with her arms crossed in the doorway. He looked at her while rubbing his aching head.
"Yeah Crow had me working all night last night. But anyway we should get to Mung's or we'll be late."
"Nah I think I'm going to stay here. Parties are not really my thing. And besides I have a gift for you when you get back." She said to him with a smile.
"A gift you say?" He returned the smile
"You'll see when you get back. Now hurry or you're going to be late." She told him while walking back inside they're cave.
Wolf didn't really have much time to question her so he ran off to Squirrel's teleporter. He stopped right in front of them panting rather hard as he came to his stop.
"There you are. I almost thought you weren't coming." Squirrel told him while turning on the teleporter.
Everybody else was already waiting to get inside eager to get to the party. They all went in single file Wolf stood next to Fox as a bright flash signaled that the teleport was successful. Fox was getting a bit jittery as it came closer and closer to her turn. She leaned in to whisper in his ear.
"I don't really think I want to use this thing. It kind of scares me." Wolf heard her whisper.
"Don't worry I've gone through it before and I was fine." He attempted to reassure her
"I don't know I just have a bad feeling."
"What if I go through with you?"
She put her head on his shoulder and grabbed his hand.
"With you here I can do anything."
They walked up to the teleporter a bright flash sent them to the front of Mung Dall's home. Fox stumbled a bit as she walked in the door and sat down on the couch. Wolf walked in his head hurting even worse than before. Everyone had a good time there was music and food and even games for the kids. Soon the night wore on and after supper everyone began to calm down a bit. Chowder, Cat, and Hare had settled in front of the TV, Squirrel was leaning in her boyfriend's arms. Rabbit was eyeing Fox and Wolf from across the room with envious eyes. Wolf noticed his menacing stare but didn't really care his head pained him immensely. Fox put a hand on his shoulder.
"Wolf are you okay?" She asked him.
Wolf rubbed his head before he spoke.
"Uh…yeah, just wish Rabbit would stop giving me the eye is all."
Fox looked at Wolf and gave him a devious smile.
"You want to make him really angry?"
"Rabbit, angry, why not."
"Alright now close you're eyes."
Wolf did as he was told and shut his eyes. When he felt her pull him in close and shove her tongue in his mouth. The look on both Wolf's and Rabbit's face were priceless. Rabbit got so flustered he kicked in the door to the other room and marched outside. Fox didn't stop there; Fox forced him on his back as they lay sprawled across the couch. Their little French stunt had caught the eyes of everybody in the room. Wolf eventually eased into the kiss; he knew they were all watching. But he didn't really care anymore. Both Squirrel and Donny had surprise written across their face. Sure they kissed like that but never in front of so many people. Cat looked like she was going to throw up right on the floor, Hare kind of thought it was cute and half smiled, Chowder scratched the top of his head in confusion completely oblivious to what exactly they were doing. Mung had poked his head out of the kitchen just in time to catch a glimpse of the incident.
"Mung why did they…." Chowder began to ask.
"When you're older!" Mung yelled while he rushed to clasp his hand over Chowder's eyes.
He rushed Chowder out of the room and shut the door behind him. Fox finally broke away from the kiss.
"How about we continue this upstairs?" Fox asked.
All Wolf could do was nod. She grabbed him by the hand and led him upstairs. Leaving the others still frozen in surprise, Wolf's head still hurt but he wasn't about to refuse this offer.
"Well I didn't see that one coming." Donny said to Squirrel.
All she did was nod in agreement as Cat ran off to the bathroom; the sound of her puking could be heard on the other side of the door.
Fox lay in the comfortable bed. She'd fallen asleep after there ahem "Relations". Wolf however sat on the edge of the bed. His head felt like it was going to rip apart. This time he heard the voice from before clearly.
"Go to the balcony." The strange voice commanded.
There was no mistaking it Wolf had heard it. He stood up and pulled the covers up to Fox's shoulders and kissed her before he left. He walked down the hallway and turned the corner around the balcony. He pushed the curtain aside as he walked on the platform. The cool air chilling his fur, he turned to the left and noticed the familiar armored shape of the man Crow had told him about two weeks ago. Wolf reached for his sword. With blinding speed the man seized him by the throat and held him against the wall.
"Listen to me." The deep voice said muffled by the horned helmet.
"Rose is in trouble and you need to save her."
"How do you know my sister?" Wolf asked the man while still clutching at his fingers wrapped around his throat.
"No time for that now. If you don't help her she will die. I don't have anymore time to spare. Make you're choice."
And like that the man disappeared in a cloud of black smoke. Wolf looked around trying to find where he went.
"What the…."
