Chapter 10 Intruders and Let It All Out.
I was floating in the darkness, numb. I just wanted to lay there forever; I didn't want to go back for fear of either pain or rejection. I suddenly felt warmth around me and opened my eye to see a bright light. I was falling slowly to the floor when I finally opened my eyes fully, and when I looked down to my body I saw a pure white dress and barefoot.
I looked up to see that I was in Bipin forest. I saw strange figures looking like another wolf pack walking around my home. I suddenly felt that sharp pain in my head again and I noticed it happened when these figures got closer to where my pack would stay in the forest.
I growled in angers and went to lunge but woke up in my bed howling in anger. Remus and Severus and Sirius came running in at hearing my howl. They sat down asking my thousands of different of questions until I heard, "ENOUGH!"
I looked up to see a man standing there with dark brown hair and a stance that just screamed protective brother. I suddenly realized he had ears and a tail like me and knew automatically that it was my brother Alo. I smiled at him and suddenly remembered why I passed out and scream out to him, "THE FOREST IS UNDER ATTACK!"
He frowned at me and said in a calm voice, "I know." I looked at him in question and he answered, "The outcast pack was lurking around. And I not being full alpha couldn't make them leave. The others are the guarding our territory while I came to get you."
I looked at him for all of two seconds before getting out of bed and heading out the door. My mates were running behind me trying to get me to go back to bed but I turned around and said to them, "My home is being invaded and you will not stop me from going and taking care of this situation. Now you can either come with me and help me protect something close to my heart or stay here in your nice and warm home." They gave in and decided to join me to make sure I wouldn't further hurt myself. We transformed and ran with all the way to my forest.
As we got close to the area I remember the outcast pack being in I heard what sounded like two pups laughing and joking. I recognized one as Magena's pups, Etu, but not the other pup. And that's when I realized that this pup smelled of outcast. I growled and found the clearing they were in and watched for a moment, signaling the other to stay back and to keep quiet.
(AN: Here comes a little part I borrowed from the Lion King 2)
I watched as Etu tried to get this girl pup to play tag but she didn't seem to understand. So Etu settled for wrestling and she seemed to understand but ones she got into position I transformed and leaped forward and growled menacingly toward her, while covering Etu with my body. She coward as a male wolf appeared out of nowhere jumping over her, copying me in the stance, covering her with his body. We growled at each other and then I recognized the male and said, "Bodolf."
Bodolf saw that it was me and said in a sickening happy voice, "Sarah?" And dropped into attacking stance. But soon realized I wasn't alone. My family had joined me in defense stance and my mates transformed and were right behind me. "Alo." He said in his way of a greeting to my brother, which would be in a bored tone. "Bodolf." Alo mocked back at him. Pallaton decided to jump in and say in a playful tone, "Pallaton, Koko, great now that we all have introduced ourselves….GET OUT OF OUR FOREST."
Bodolf turned to Pallaton with anger in his eyes and said, "Your forest? These grounds belong to me." "I banished you from this forest now you and your pup, get out!" I said in the same anger he use and leaned forward to meet him face to face. My mates faces held shock to see me in my alpha position.
He smirked and walked around the pup saying, "Oh haven't you met my daughter, Lupa. I hand chose her out of my liter to follow in my paw prints and become alpha of this forest." I growled in anger at the pup and watched as she shook like a leaf.
Koko snorted and said, "That's not an alpha that a little itty bitty mouse." Bodolf looked on in anger and said, "Lupa was that last born before my mate passed away because we have little food and less water." He looked at us in a way hoping to get pity, he found none.
"You know the penalty I set for your return here." I reminded him. "But the child does not!" He said to me as he walks up behind his pup. "However, if you need your pound of flesh and fur, here." He uses his snout to push his shaking daughter toward my feet. I looked to him in shock that he would offer up his own daughter to satisfy a penalty. He grinned knowingly that I wouldn't kill a pup.
I looked back to the pup that was starting to whimper and turned away saying, "Take her and get out with your pack. We're finished here, and if I ever see you here again I'm coming for your blood." I walked over to Etu and picked him up with my teeth by the scruff of his neck.
Bodolf smirked and did the same for Lupa and walked off in the direction out of my forest. I walked into the direction giving Etu to his parents and continue walking on, not even realizing that my mates were trying to get my attention to get me to explain what just happened, so Alo took over and explained. Bodolf the leader of The Outcast wolf pack. A pack my father had named when they became banished from our pack.
Bodolf always tried to take alpha position from father but always lost and soon left with his supporters vowing to come back and defeat him. But when he heard of my father's passing he came back when I was 14 and tried to take alpha position from me but still loss to me. Afterwards I banished him and his pack from the forest and set a penalty for if they returned.
When we walked through the door I didn't even bother changing back until I got to my room where I went to the corner and sat down. My mates came in and tried to come near me but I growled in warning not to come any closer right now. They stopped and Remus whispered to me, "We're here if you need us." Then they stripped down to their boxers and went and laid on the bed all facing toward me, their faces holding concern.
AN Here I played Sarah Polley – Courage I think it fits perfectly here.
As I sat there I thought about my parent, human and wolf, and my family and my mates and everything. About how seeing an old enemy brought up so many memories of my adopted parents and it upset me. I thought about how I snapped at my mates and felt terrible for it, I was so full of anger toward an old enemy that I was driving my family away. I sighed and stood feeling my mates eyes follow me. I walked over to the bed and sat at the edge of the bed, keeping my head down fearing I would let me anger get the best of me and hurt them again. They all pulled me to them and held me to their chests.
Severus whispered in my ear, "You've had to grow up so fast and you didn't even have time to grieve properly over you real parents and adopted parents. I think you've earned the right to let loose any feelings you've been holding back." I felt Remus and Sirius nod, and I laid there staring at the ceiling before tears starting falling from my eyes onto the bed. They held me tighter as my whole body shook from the years of pent up and held back dam of emotion burst forth.
Sirius put up a silencing spell and leaned over and kissed my wet cheek and said, "Let it all out darling, it's good for the soul to cleanse it with some crying." And that got me into a new crying spree but with vocal screams into the awhile we hadn't moved my mates looked down to see that I had let it all out and fell right asleep with a calming look on my face. They smiled and whispered goodnight to each other and drifted off into dream land with me.
