Hey all... Here's another chapter for you amazing people!... Wow this was a short A/N... anyway... Enjoy!
Etienne and Winston slowly walked to the den, tails locked together. Sure they got weird looks from the passing wolves but they didn't care. They were happy and that's all that matters. "Thank you" Winston said. "For what?" Etienne asked. "For everything! For last night, for dinner, for howling with me and for the..." Winston cleared his throat with a blush "... for the 'activity' afterwards" Winston finished."It's nothing really, I'm just worried about Eve." Etienne said. "Like I said, don't worry about it. She doesn't have to know." Winston reasured with a chuckle. "Alright, if you say so." Etienne smiled, moving closer towards Winston until they were looked at each other when they were together and looked up and what they saw made them seperate. They saw Hutch and Candu walking together close, correction, REALLY close! Closer than what Etienne and Winston were. Paws in sync, tails wrapped tightly, the sides of their bodies pressed together and they shared the same wide was curious and went to them to find out what changed, Etienne followed."G'morning" Winston said. They looked up and seperated ."Morning,Sir. Morning Etienne." They both greeted."Mornin' guys. So we noticed how close you two were walking today."Etienne said with a grin. They just blushed and looked away." Is anyone going to explain this?" Winston asked. They looked at each other, Candu nodded and Hutch inhaled. "Well, this morning I was angry and frustrated so I took it out in the woods. Growling and clawing every tree around appeared out of nowhere and asked if I was okay..." Candu rolled his eyes."... I told I was in love with him and that's how we got here." Hutch said while nuzzling Candu. Winston sensed there was more and he wanted everything. "And?" Winston asked. "That's all,sir" Hutch replied but Candu nudged him. Hutch sighed." And I came to apologise." Hutch said, lowering his ears and looked down. " It's okay,Hutch. We have no rules to love, we can't control love so we let it be." Winston replied with a small chuckle and started heading back to the den. "No sir, not for that. I wanted to apologise for something else." Winston stopped and turned to Hutch,waiting for him to carry on. "Last night, I stalked you two when you went on your date with Etienne."Hutch himself to the floor as Winston walked towards him."Why would you do such a thing? This is something the Hutch I know wouldn't do."Winston growled." I did it because I had feelings for you. And when I heard you were going out with Etienne, I wanted to make sure he didn't do the things I wanted to do if I had the chance... Thats why I was angry in the woods when Candu fould me."Hutch confessed, still lowered to the ground. Winston froze."How far did you stalk us for?" Winston asked, Not wanting his second in command to know what he did last night in the den." I stopped after the angry as I was, You two sound amazing together." Both Winston and Etienne sighed in relief. "I'm guessing I left at a good time?" Hutch asked with a laugh as he stayed lowered."Yes you did, Stand up Hutch."Winston said with a rose and looked at Winston."Now, I am really disappointed in you,Hutch."Winston said with seriousness in his voice."I understand,sir." Hutch said, lowering his ears again." I'm also happy that you did." He said with a loolked at him with a tilt to their heads." Why is that sir?" Candu asked." Well, If it wasn't for Etienne, You wouldn't have been so upset and gone into the forrest, which means Candu wouldn't find you in the woods, causing you not to admit your fellings and you two would still be single" Winston said,laughing."So, does this mean I'm forgiven?" Hutch asked slowly rising his ears. "Yes you are, now run along, don't forget about your duties." Winston said as he continued towards the den. "Thank you!" Hutch and Candu yelled as they ran to continue their duties."Okay... That happened" Etienne said as he caught up with Winston."Don't worry, I was as shocked as you were." Winston said as he wrapped his tail around his. They got to the den and stood there. They leaned in and shared a deep kiss before parting."I love you" Winston said to Etienne. His heart was pounding in his chest, it felt like there was a group of sledgehammers pounding his heart with full force, not because Winston said 'I love you' but the fact that they kissed in broad daylight, out in the open, where the wolves there were staring at them with shock. "I love you too, Plus we have an audience ." He replied before drawing Winston into another kiss. The croud gasped and Winston turned to face the croud."Don't worry! Everything will be explained in due time!"Winston said with that amazing voice of his. The croud nodded and carried on with their day. "What did you mean by that?" Etienne asked. " I love you so much, I don't want to hide 's why I will tell Eve what is happening between us."Winston replied."WHAT?! Eve will kill both of..."Winston put up a paw. "Nothing will happen I promise. She has been happy lately. My guess is she's seeing someone else too." Winston said. "If you say so" Etienne said as he kissed Winston again before heading back to the den.
In Etienne's den...
There they sat. Silent. It's been a few days since Zom left and it made the other two really depressed."Why? Why did Zom leave?" Slash asked herself." We have to find him!" Shane yelled as she stood up."What good will it do? We don't know where he went." Slash said as she turned over. "Are you kidding me?Are you giving up on him?Just like that?! Have you forgotten that he stood up for us when we got picked on?! You're coming with me wheter you like it or not." Shane said, pulling Slash by the back of her neck."Ow...OW Okay I'm coming!" Slash yelled as Shane let go." Come on... I know what direction he was in last" Shane said as they ran to find their best friend.
Back with Etienne...
Etienne was just strolling around to find something to do."HELP!" He heard someone and a few other Alpha's ran towards the cry for help. We arive and see a tall thick tree that fell was standing there with tears in his eyes."Hey, Whats wrong?" Etienne asked." Candu is stuck under there! The tree fell on him! I think he is dead!" Hutch said as he cried into my chest. After the wolves heard what happened, they tried to move the massive tree of the wolf that was under it. They tried and tried but didn't suceed."We need the entire pack to even move this."one of them said with a tear in his eye. All the wolves looked at Hutch and apologised."We're not strong enough, I'm so sorry." Another said. They all started to tear up as Hutch cried harder in my chest,turning it from damp to sopping wet. "The one thing I HATE the most is seeing anyone sad or injured." Etienne though as he felt himself tear up."Go ahead, I know you can do it" Etienne heard in his mind. He let Hutch go after realizing what he can do."We will need a pack of bears to lift this tree." another said. "Or... you need me" Etienne said as he aproached the his size, he only took up a quater of the height of the tree. He closed his eyes and focused, imagining the tree getting lighter and lighter. He crouched down and tried to lift it. There were comments from the other wolvess like ' You are insane if you think you can lift that!'. he tried and tried but it didn't move an inch. Etienne looked back at the laughing wolves, then at Hutch who looked back with a tear running down his the pain of losing someone filled Etienne with firey anger he could not control and soon his body began to change. He tried to lift the tree and this time it actually started moving. Gasps came from the croud as the massive log started rising. Etienne's body continued to change, his wings shot out and he pierced the wood, using his wings to keep it the tree was up, Etienne was fully transformed. Long fangs, sharp claws, pitch black fur, smokey purple eyes, dark aura steaming off his body, giant bat-like wings, everything. Everyone was still and quiet. "Hey" Etienne called out to them. "Am I going to stand here all day or are you going to get him away? This thing is heavy." He asked as his wings and limbs began to shake due to the strain. They ran as quickly as they could to get Candu out. When he was safe, Etienne put the log down slowly, not to make a loud thunk to draw tree was on the floor and Etienne returned to normal and collapsed from exaustion. Candu was dead. His entire body was flattened like a pancake, Hutch cried into the dead wolf's body. "Hey, I have a favor to ask all of you." Etienne said weakly."Will it bring him back?" Hutch asked with some hope. "Hutch, he's dead. Look at him, flatter than road kill" One of the wolves said. Hutch cried harder after hearing that. "Actually, Yes it will." Etienne said. All the wolves looked at him with shock. "What's the favor?! I'll do ANYTHING to get him back?! Please!" Hutch pleaded." Okay, first, I want you all to keep this a secret. DO NOT TELL ANYONE! Second, Bring two pieces of carribou leg. If anyone asks why you have the legs, just say you're planing a 'date' or something. And last, help me and Candu to the stream nearby." Etienne ordered. Two wolves ran to the feasting grounds while the rest helped them to the stream. They safely arrived at the stream while they waited. "How will you bring him back to life?" One of the wolves asked. "I don't really know... I'll see what I can do, But I'm sure it will work." Etienne lied. Some time passed before the wolves came back with large carribou legs in their mouths."That will do just fine." Etienne replied as he weakly got up. He walked over to Candu and placed his paws on Candu's side. He focused and soon enough, black smoke appeared from the palm of his paws and flowed into Candu's nose. Etienne breathed heavily as he tried to stay focused. Candu started inflating like a balloon, getting his shape back and the sound of bones crunched and crackled loudly and made one of the wolves sick. Etienne let out a scream before stepping away from Candu,panting hard. Hutch ran and placed his ear on Candu's chest. The expression on his face explained that there was no beat of a went sad but Hutch suddenly jumped up and went more pale than the moonlight." What's wrong?" Etienne asked. "I..." Hutch placed his ear on Candu's chest again. His eyes widened."... I hear his heart beat!" Hutch yelled. Everyone jumped and barked, patting Etienne on the back. "Good job, you're getting good at this" The demon said. "Thanks" Etienne replied. He turned to one of the legs and started tearing strips of flesh off. Candu slowly opened his eyes and tried to get up. "Hey, take it easy. Here" Etienne said as he handed Candu the strips of meat." Thanks." He said weakly. "No problem, Hutch, I'm sorry but I have to." Etienne said as he went to the stream. "Sorry for what?" Hutch asked. "For what I have to do now. Roll him on his back and keep his head up." Etienne asked as he started gathering water in his muzzle, Hutch did so,wrapping Candu in his arms and keeping his head up. Etienne walked over to Candu and gave Hutch a ' please forgive me' look as he kissed Candu, slowly letting the water out of his muzzle into Candu's so he can drink. Once the water was all out, he withdrew from the kiss and wiped his lips." Why did you do that?!" Hutch growled." Hey, calm down. He needed water and thats the only way he could get water. He's too weak to do it himself so I had to do it. Let's not forget who brought your boyfriend back to life."Etienne said. "Just make sure he eats everything." Etienne said as he began devouring the other leg to get his strength back. "Now, I need to head back, stay with him until he gets his strength back and take him to your den."Etienne ordered. "Will do... Thank you,Etienne." Hutch said with a smile. "No problem and remember, Keep this a secret"Etienne said as he walked back. He got to the valley when he saw Winston."Hey, Winston." Etienne greeted. "Hey there." Winston greeted back with a kiss." I've been looking for you" Winston said after they parted. "Oh, what for?" Etienne asked. "I wanted to ask if you would like to join me for dinner tonight?" Winston asked. The carribou Etienne ate didn't fill him so he accepted the offer. They walked up the Alpha den when Etienne saw Eve, Humphrey, Kate, Lilly and Garth there. "Hey everyone." Etienne greeted." Hello" They replied. "We were waiting for you, my dad said he had news for us and went to find you." Kate said. When Etienne heard that Winston had 'news' for them,he gulped and got extremely nervous." So what did you want to tell us?" Lilly asked. Winston sat down and said something that changed everything." The news is, Etienne and I are in love." Winston said with a smile as he looked at the now pale wolf. "WHAT?!" They all yelled as it echoed throughout the valley...
