Chapter 10: Sparks (written time is unknown)

Stormfast now knew the curse. Throughout history, since Isaac said those legendary words, the same bad things have happened. After Isaac fell in the river, his generations followed. His son Bronx, fell in the same river when he was a Beta. He was nicknamed the "River Wolf." Now, with the curse skipping a generation to Bronx's grandson, Stormfast, who also had fell in the River that divided the pack. He just now begun to realize it.

"Stormfast? Are you okay?" asked Terra. He snapped out of it.

"Oh, uhh... yeah, I'm fine." He gave her a broken smile. He then went outside and looked into the river next to the cave. There, it showed his reflection. [The curse, he thought, might napped again. I'm going to fall into the same river someday.] It was his destiny. He decided to call it "Destiny River."

One reason was because the river had no real name besides the often term, "the dividing river," because it divided East and West. Another, would be so he could remember it. So when the time comes, he would be prepared. Before he could think of more, something caught his nose. He was still very hungry, and hadn't eaten since he had been at the Eastern Pack. "*sniff, sniff* Hey Terra! Check this out!" She ran out of the cave and came to him.

"What is it?"

"Do you smell that?"

"Yeah, it's dead caribou." They both raced towards the smell. West of the riverside den, there was a grass plain. In the middle of the plain was a pile of caribou meat.

"Memphis," he whispered as he guess who this once was. Not too far from from the carcass was a very small den. Stormfast stomach growled. He couldn't help it. He reached in his muzzle closer to the carcass to take a bite.

"I wouldn't do that if I was you, mate," said a voice. His accent was usual to them. (It's an Australian accent) A grey wolf them came out of the tiny den. "Why, I oughta'-!"

"Please! Please don't hurt us!" They hugged each other in terror. He then laughed, not in a devilish kind of way but in a joking way.

"Don't worry. I'm not going hurt y'all," he said in a soft tone. But that soon changed. "But maybe I will if you two don't get off my land in the next five seconds!" Terra then thought of something quick.

"Wait! Wait! What it that?"

"None of your business!" he barked. Terra had referred to his neck. Around it were a chain of bones. All of them were clawmarked.

"No, no! There's another bone just like those ones."

"Really? Where is it?" he asked.

"It's a femur and it is a bit far from here. But I can bring it you there."

"Oh, goody! Take me there!"

Stormfast didn't like the idea of bringing a stranger to an unknown place but as long as Terra gets it over with, he was fine with it. She started walking but then she suddenly stopped and turned back around. The grey wolf was just standing there.

"Well? Are you coming?"

"Wait, I have to do something first." He ran to his den and took off his necklace of bones. He then put it on the floor and licked his paw, afterwards, touched it while closing his eyes. "Be right back mom." Soon, he went out, enthusiastic. "Coming..."

Elsewhere...

"So what happened to you?" asked Stone.

"I got caught in a river with my sister and I was trying to get out but she kept pulling me towards her. We then fell down a waterfall. She fell in the soft water while I fell on a sharp rock, which explains my wound." Stone was now mad at whoever the sister was.

"Who's the sister?!" "Oh, my Omega sister, Terra," she answered, boastfully.

"Why would she do this to someone like you?" he questioned. "I think she's just jealous."

"Hey... you're right!" Rhys yelled.
