O.K, enjoy this chapter and don't forget to review. Luv you all loads!!!!!

EgyptianShadowWolf xXx

Teeth bit into Destiny's flank as she desperately tried to overthrow the two large black wolves attacking her. Whenever she got rid of one, another would come and bite her again. Two against one was hardly fair.

But Destiny was strong. She was raised by Karu.

Destiny turned suddenly and bit hard into one of the wolves necks. They fell suddenly with a whimper and lay still on the cold hard floor. The other wolf merged into the shadows, unseen. Destiny turned her attention to Yami.

Panic sized her by her paws.

Yami was laying on the floor, his eyes shut, the taller human, smelling of a sharp tangy smell, laughing above him. Rage shot through her body. Yami didn't smell of death, like the wolf in front of her. So he must be unconscious, she thought.

The taller human then bent down and dragged Yami further into the dark cave. At least she thought it was a cave. It seemed like one at least. Destiny growled and leapt at the taller human, when suddenly the hidden wolf jumped at her from a side, sinking his teeth into her side.

Destiny howled in pain and fought back as they both crashed to the floor. Both wolves wrestled, biting and clawing each other. Destiny was beginning to tire. This other wolf was strong.

But she was stronger. She managed to get a good hold of the wolf, before throwing it toward the nearest wall. It hit the wall, and a deafening crack split the air. Destiny watched in the shadows as the wolf struggled to get up, but falling back down, and lay whimpering on the floor. Destiny didn't like to resolve to fighting, but sometimes, she just had to do it.

Destiny moved forward, before realizing that the rest f the 'cave' was cut off. There were three doors that blocked her way. Destiny smelt the air.

Yami's scent led into the third door, but for some reason, she was pulled toward the first door. It was like a gravitational pull, but wasn't.

Destiny stood her ground and let out a whine. She didn't know what to do. To listen to her insides or to help her pack brother. She looked from one door to the other. Destiny shook her head.

'The pack comes first...' she told herself, before moving to the third door.

Thankfully, the door wasn't locked, and Destiny pushed it open with ease. The sudden rush of smell shocked her. The room was dark, but her eyes adjusted easily. She smelt the other human, but he wasn't there. He must have used a back exit or something.

Destiny studied the room carefully. There were mostly guns, a big selection on one wall, and a large selection of knives as well. This made her shudder.

She walked over to the large section of guns. One in particular shocked her. It smelt of the bullets that had killed her mate and cubs. So he was the hunter that killed her family. A growl rumbled in her throat.

A movement then caught the corner of her eye. She turned her head to the right and saw what seemed like a huge cage. And in the cage was.....

Yami!!!

He was on the floor of the cage, unconscious still.

Destiny ran to the cage and stuck her muzzle through the bars of the cage, and touched Yami's face. His face was cold, and he remained unmoved.

'Yami? Yami, wake up, I'm here!' she growled gently.

Yami remained still.

'Yami! Yami wake up! Please! I'm here now, you can wake up!!!' Destiny started to panic. Yami usually woke up when Destiny growled at him. Why wasn't he now?

She didn't get. She howled silently in her head. Wake up, please.....

A noise brought her attention to the far left of the room. She suddenly smelt the hunter scent. He was coming back!!!

Destiny looked back at Yami. She slowly walked away from him, still looking at him. She then fled out the door as the hunter came into the room.

The door shut behind Destiny. She was now headed toward the first door. The gravitational pull was too hard to ignore now.

She pushed the first door with her paw and ended up in a corridor. It weaved slightly upward, and round a corner. Destiny ran up the corridor, only slowing down when she got to the end. Another door.

She reached up and pulled the handle down in her jaws.

The door swung open and new scents rushed at her. Theses one's were different. Not of humans but of…..

WOLVES!!!

In the room before her, she saw a narrow corridor, with cages piled high above her head, all full of wolves. She slowly walked down the corridor, looking at each cage, well, the ones she could see anyway.

She saw sad and angry faces, the air filled with whimpering and growls. As Destiny peered into their eyes, all she saw was suffering and sadness.

Destiny seemed to recognise a few.

Destiny's heart seemed to stop. These were the wolves that where going missing from the forest…..

Destiny's heart then quickened again. Maybe, just maybe, Astennu might be here. Destiny hadn't seen him since he protected Yami that day in the forest when the hunters attacked. Destiny ran along the corridor, but she couldn't catch his scent.

No, she thought sadly to herself. He's not here….

As Destiny got to one of the last cages, she noticed a very proud and strong scent….

'Alpha Storm? Is that really you?' Destiny gasped as she caught sight of his proud dark grey head.

He growled at her slightly.

'I'm presuming you got out?'

'No, I was never caught…'

Alpha Storm seemed to smile.

'Just like your father……'

Destiny thought back to her father. It pained her, leaving him to grieve Nevada by himself.

'How did you get caught?' Destiny asked, trying to distract herself.

Alpha Storm's smile faded.

'A tranquilizer gun. They caught me when I was off guard for just a second.' He growled in frustration.

'Why are you here anyway?'

'To help Yami get his friend back'

'Yami? The human? Aaahhh, he's got no chance. He doesn't know how to fight properly. He's just a kid. Where is he now?'

Destiny hesitated.

'He's been captured. By the tall hunter'

Storm growled even more this time.

'He's the worst out of the whole lot. Deserves to be shot himself, he does.'

Destiny winced at his violent tone.

Storm looked about him.

'Quickly' he instructed.

'Pull the latch there on my cage and let me out'

Destiny looked astonished.

'We're going to save Yami.'

Destiny did as she was told, but the latch wouldn't come loose. Destiny growled in frustration. She tried again, but to no avail, it was too tight.

'Keep trying' Storm urged, encouraging her on.

As Destiny struggled to undo the latch, she heard footsteps out the corner of her ear, and made a more desperate attempt to undo the latch. To fail no was out of the question.

Footsteps approached her and a voice echoed about the place.

"Well, well, well, what have we here…… Can't have this can we?"

Destiny growled a warning as, very slightly, the latch began to move……
