The forest trees covered with snow, the white blanket spread on the entire land, it was a nice morning. After a long day last night the pack was still on the move, being the only human, Takara found it very hard to keep up, she's not used to run all day with a rare break. Sana slowed her run and looked back, "You okay, Takara-chan?!" She called over her shoulder, Takara panting and feeling that her stomach will explode, "Hah.. Y-Yeah! Go on I'm.. Right behind you!" "I'll carry you Takara-chan!" Takon waddled up to her as she drops on her knees catching her breath, he tried to push her, drag her, but he was too small, "Move aside, kid." Luke rolled his eyes and stretched an arm, "Want some help?" he asked, "No, no, I'm fine! I just.. I just need to catch my breath.."She sighed, putting a hand on her chest, as if her lungs are squeezed out of oxygen, "She'll get used to this, it's just her first time." Xnite assured Sana with a smile, Takara stood up, "Guys seriously.. You don't plan on-ACK!" She gasped, putting her hands on her ear and backed away, trembling and falling on her knees, Sana widened her eyes and looked up, a large black keep was approaching, and it was shooting lasers but.. Not towards them, someone else was fighting against the keep. Darcia.. Sana growled and grabbed Circa's arm, running off, "Guys hurry up!" She yelled, "O-Oi!" Circa gritted his teeth and looked up, "Slow down!" He struggled, "We can't!" BOOM Sana looked behind her, her pack is following, but the laser was blowing some other direction. Don't look down.. Sana prayed .. Don't.. Meanwhile in the keep, one of the guards who controlled the keep, sitting in front of a control panel, spotted something, he lowered his gaze and saw another pack of wolves, Sana's pack, he widened his eyes when he saw the Flower Boy with them, "Milord!" He yelled, standing next to an open gate of the keep, was Darcia, wearing his usual dark robes and the eye patch covering his right eye, "Milord, Circa he.." Darcia widened his eye, "Circa?" "Y-Yes Milord, he's with.. Another pack of wolves, we don't know-" "Another?" Darcia tilted his head and walked towards the windows of the keep, he spotted him, "So we're not the only ones who race after Paradise after all, this just makes things exciting. Blow them up, burn them to ashes, I don't give a damn, but I want this boy!" He growled, pointing straight at Circa. The guard nodded and pressed some buttons, pulling levers, and the laser gun was aimed at the pack, Sana looked back at widened her eyes, "HIDE!" She yelled, but it was too late, the laser gun shot, and as it strikes the ground it explodes violently, throwing each one of them into a corner. Circa was thrown ahead, he hit the ground and rolled a couple of times before stopping, he groaned and sat up, from the keep a ladder was thrown, armoured men with helmets and shot guns raced after Circa, he gasped, but a dark figure stood in front of him and barked furiously, Sana's paws were shaking from getting blown up, but she couldn't let them take their only key to paradise. The men aimed and before one of them shot, Luke lowered the gun by force using his muzzle, and jumped backwards, pouncing at the man and pinning him to the ground, Xnite got the attention of three or four men chasing after him, and Takara was using all what she knows to fight them off, her hand was light and quick, snatching out pistols from the soldiers and shooting at them. And Takon was doing his best to prevent a soldier from aiming at Takara, clawing his leg. "Come on!" Sana helped Circa up, "Iie! We can't leave them!" "I'll get you to safety we won't leave them!" Sana growled, "No! If it means your perish I will NOT stay with you!" Circa growled, "Stop being head-strong-" Sana was cut off, another laser blew them up again, sending both of them in a direction and weakening the others, Takon stood up again and shook off the snow off his fur, he limped with a hurry to a huge pile of snow, and sniffed it. He began digging and pulled out Luke's head, he whimpered. "Wake up.." He licked the bigger wolf's eye, "Can't.." He replied, Luke winced, "Leg.." He groaned, Takon backed up and looked at Luke's leg, crushed under the weight of a tree, "You have to get up! I'll help you!" Takon panicked, "Luke!" Xnite called for afar, limping towards them, and started to push the tree off, "Hang in there!" "Again! Where's the flower boy?!" Darcia growled with anger, two soldiers carried Circa, who's not knocked out cold, one of them puts his finger on his helmet and spoke, "We found him milord." "Get back before they others attack you." Darcia ordered, before the soldier could reply, Sana tackled him down and aimed for his neck, but a bullet pierced her shoulder sending her off the soldier, she growled and stood up again, she tried to jump and dig her fangs into the mans hand, but he dodged her with his gun again, as she hits the ground, one of the soldiers pinned her on the ground as she desperately struggles to move, to get up. But he forced her face into the snow, "..Can't.. Take him!" She mumbled in the snow, "Won't.. Allow it!" Her eyes narrowed. "Geez, she's a wild one. Take him to the keep quickly." The soldier told the one who held Circa, he nodded and walked off. Sana's vision was blurring, her blood watering the ground, she can't faint now.. She can't. AROOO A howl echoed. Something smells foul.. Sana used what's left of her strength to look up, a white figure snapping at the soldier, biting him, and dodging with such ease, eventually, it killed off the soldier, another grey figure held Circa. The white figure advanced towards Sana, or rather, the soldier who held her down, she could notice his expressions.. Golden eyes, wild look, bloodied fangs, yet the fur was clean white, the last thing she heard, was a growl, and a scream, before everything turned black.
