Okay, I do apologize for not updating in so long.
It is just that I ended up a little down when I didn't get many reviews in the last chapter.
So I thought I should concentrate on my two other stories then come back to this when I completed one of the other two.
Eventually I got to thinking that it wouldn't be fair to those who do post reviews to have to wait.
Bet you are wondering when I figured this out, right?
I figured it out a month ago.
Bet your next question is why didn't I get back on it a month ago when I figured it out back then?
It is a simple and yet silly answer really.
The answer is…
Drum roll sounds.
I had writer's block.
Now normally I and my muses in training would answer some reviews.
Since we only got one review for the last chapter and the chapter before that, I don't think we should do that right now.
Moreover, Leki and Dane aren't here. I allowed them to go to the park and play.
Instead, I thought there would be a recap section then the story.
This way everyone will get a refresher so they won't have to go back and read.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter:Recap:
1. Ion and Abel are still in search of Abel's evil brother Cain and his followers when they come across two small bodies. They realize soon enough that the two bodies are not only children but also a boy and a girl. They figured the children to be dead. They were wrong when the little boy clenched onto the hand that Abel was holding. The little girl also slowly reached up to Abel.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. The children had woke in a strange place. They didn't know they were in a hotel. They got into a yelling match with Abel and Ion for a moment. They didn't know how or who hurt them and when the question of who they are came up both children have no memories of their pasts not even their names.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. After some comical sights, Abel and Ion gave the two children names.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Strange things are going on in the mountains. A small recap hen the story continues Isabella, Alexander, Abel, and Ion set out at midnight. Their destination is Spooky Mountain. The path is rocky and hard to get through. Nevertheless, it seems that it is no trouble for the two children. However, trouble comes at them in the form of a demon wolf pack. Where are they being taken and why did they not attack them when the two white wolves appeared?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Okay, so they are not there to be killed. They become fast friends with the wolf pack and learn of what they think could have happened to the children. Speaking of the children, Isabella and Alexander become fast friends with many of the children in the pack. That includes a boy by the name of Nataku who was no older then twelve years of age. Ookami, the leader of the pack and his mate Shiren started explaining many things to Ion and Abel. They even have to hold twin babies. Ion I believe for once was without words as he had never held a baby before. (Maybe he bonded with that baby boy before he knew it.) Alexander and Isabella found out that the two white wolves belonged with them. This chapter turned out to be very moving.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Truly a sad chapter. Ion and Abel leave the children with their new family where they hoped they would be happy. Ion had been in denial that he didn't want them with them. That it was as he thought for the best. However, when Abel asked when should they go back for them? Ion then truly realized what he wanted. The two rushed back as fast and safely as the rocky path would allow them. Seeing the night sky being covered in a dark shadowy mass sent up red alert flags in their minds. The quiet of the night sky rang out in screams, yells, cries, howling, and cawing sounds. Seeing the deaths of the two newborn babies that Ion and Abel had just held hours before sent Ion's temper raging beyond boiling point. Not even using his sword but his own Methuselah claws and his speed, he began ripping apart every Demon Crow there.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. With the pack dead and Ookami captured the group sets out on a new quest with four additions to the group. Cain joins the Demon Crow Flock. What is he planning? Where did Nataku, Alexander, Shiba, and Fujin go? Why did Raikou bite Ion on the butt?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. The two children find a house in the field where they learn a lot more about what Alexander and Isabella had been dreaming about. Bloody bodies and an old photo in a frame are found inside the house. Will that plus the journal and diary that Alexander had found explain things?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. Danger approaches in the form of black feathers, weapons, and a prince that leads them the children pull their wolves inside and Abel makes his usual introductions followed by some funny remark to Toga. Abel went all Crusnik on Toga and the fight was on.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. A classic comical fight breaks out. I personally wouldn't want to be hit by Isabella, Nataku, or Alexander in this one. Something inside of Alexander and Isabella snapped. A mysterious ore sounded their entire body. This strange feeling seemed to make the Demon Crows, the wolves, and Nataku look at the two kids on the other side of the room. Ion had just made it to the room they were in just in time to see Alexander and Isabella go through a change. Could what they had changed into be some kind of clue to their past?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11. It would seem that Cain is not fully trusted by the queen of the Demon Crows. Does the Princess of the Demon Crows fancy Cain? Abel confronts someone who has been following them for so long. Is this stranger really apart of the Demon Crow Flock?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12. Abel realizes there is a friend among their enemies after all.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13. Going along with what Abel had been told he lead the group down a large hole in the side of the mountain. Whose side is Kota on really? Ookami is alive! A happy reunion is ruined when Ookami is killed as he goes over the cliff a long with Kota.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
14. Alone with his thoughts Nataku morns the loss of his father and is having doubts on if he should still go with the others. He had dreams of him and his father. Precious moments in his life that he realizes will never be taken away by anyone. He gets one final message from the family that has died in life while he dreams.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15. The reading of Sakura's diary
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16. The reading of Sakura's diary part 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
17. Someone from the past is joined by a fallen ally.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
18. Dietrich is back. Is someone spying on Cain and Dietrich? Natasha has quiet a mouth on her. The two new followers just missed the group. Why have the wolves run off from Abel?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
19. The group find themselves lost and separated in a dark and scary forest. Isabella ends up being chased. What saves her is not one of her friends but another wolf.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
20. Another person from the past enters into the forest.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syusuke
"Kango?" Syusuke said as he stared unbelievingly at his long time friend who he thought to be dead. There was silence for what felt like a thousand years. Kota looked back and forth between the two Wolf Demons. The sudden noise that erupted between the two of them made Kota jump back about two feet as the two people exchanged hugs and high fives.
"Man I haven't seen you for…" Kango started.
"A long time I know." Syusuke finished. "So, you managed to get out of the fight to?" Kango gave his long time friend a nod. "So who's the half breed?" Syusuke looked at Kota.
Kota looked like he was mixed up on the inside. "My name's Kota and how did you know I was a half breed?" Syusuke got face to face with Kota. The seriousness in those aqua blue eyes bad Kota shake with fear.
Just then, Syusuke smiled. That made his scarred face looks strangely comical. S, much so that Kota could only smile as he tried to keep from busting out into laughing hysterics. "I could tell by the white wings," Syusuke answered. "Yukimura had white wings and he was a half breed as well,"
"We came into the forest because we were hoping to find Sakura and Yukimura's children. Kota saw them before so I know who to look for," Kango said. Syusuke looked to be in shock then he relaxed and his eyes were sparkling with tears. "Are you alright man?" Kango placed a hand on his friend's shoulder.
"I think I met my niece," Was the only thing Syusuke said. "Come, I'll explain along the way."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Abel was still stuck in the tree with the coyotes now sleeping below him. He started to climb down when all the coyotes looked up at him. "Oh, don't mind me. I am not going anywhere." Abel let out a shaky laugh as he clung tight to the tree. Suddenly another branch from another tree lowered itself onto Abel's branch.
"Abel!" The one who had made the bridge between the trees was Alexander.
"Oh thank goodness," Abel said. He started crawling slowly and as quietly as he could across the bridge.
The two climbed down from the tree and Abel was hugging Alexander so tight that the boy wasn't sure how much more his lungs could take. "You can think me later. I think we should run now." Abel and Alexander looked. There were the coyotes.
"AHHHHH!!!!!" They both screamed and started running.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fujin and Shiba seem to have caught a scent," Ion said.
"Yeah, no kidding," Nataku said.
Ion and Nataku were not having any trouble with keeping up They were jumping over rocks, bushes, and fallen trees when they heard a screaming that was getting closer.
Emerging from the bushes and not stopping is Abel and Alexander.
"Hey Abel! Alexander!" Nataku called after them. Fujin ran after her master.
"Nataku and Ion run!" Alexander yells.
Shiba was growling. When Ion and Nataku turned around a pack of Coyotes were heading right for them.
"AHHHH!!!!" Ion and Nataku both yelled. They soon joined their friends.
"What did you do Abel?" Ion asked. It was as if he knew Abel so well.
"Nothing, I just stepped on one of their tails and was playing with some cute puppies," Abel explained.
Ion smacked his own head. "Baka! Those were their cubs,"
"Can you two spend more time running and less time talking please," Nataku said.
All four of them started screaming at once as they ran.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syusuke, Kota, and Kango didn't walk to far when Chad and Tiger noticed a scent that soon followed by screams that even Kota, Kango, and Syusuke heard. "Could that be …" Kango didn't need to finish the sentence since Kota and Syusuke were thinking the same thing. One of the white crows started circling around them. It was as if it was telling them something.
"Here…" Kota raised his right arm up. Seeing that it is safe to land, the crow glided down in a large circle. As he came down the circle began to get smaller until he landed on Kota's forearm. The white crow cawed, and clicked its beak as if he was speaking in a language only Kota knew. "Spirit says that coyotes are chasing some people and two wolves."
"It must be the girl's friends," Syusuke says.
"We better get going then." Right when Kango had suggested that the crow and two wolves took off in the direction of the scent and screams with the three people close behind them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toga and a small band of demon crows were following the river into the forest. It was quite a sight to see. Since the forest is dark whether it is day or night, the demon crows were not as quiet as Toga wanted them to be.
"You stepped on my foot."
"Sorry about that."
"Umpf…"
"Whoa!'
"Ow that hurt."
Some of them even had tripped and caused a chain reaction for about ten of the soldiers behind him.
Toga was trying everything from gritting his teeth to counting to ten in hopes that he can resist the urge to hall off and kill his men.
"Couldn't we have just waited for them to come out sir?"
"Yeah they say this forest is bad and full of demons."
"There are demons in this forest! …" toga said in a strained attempt at a calm voice. He heard so many gasps at once that it sounded like it was loud enough to wake the dead. He turned to face his men. It is dark and he can barely see a thing. Yet he knew where his men are. He took a deep and calming breath. "It is us you morons! We are the demons in the forest! As for it being dark, if you are that afraid then maybe you should all run home with your tail feathers between your chicken shit legs!" He took another deep breath and continued. "Now shut up! Be quiet! And move your asses. If you don't get moving I'm leaving you all behind!"
With that said Toga turned away from them and continued to follow the river.
His men looked at each other. Then they ran to catch up to him.
"Wait up sir!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, now I don't know if this makes much sense or not.
After all, I did start this late at night and then finished it two days later (I was tired out that night)
Anyways, I don't know about you all but I am proud of this chapter. I think there were less grammar errors then in the other chapters.
That is just what I think so don't hold me to it.
After all, no one is one hundred percent sure about how good their grammar and or spelling is in a chapter.
"I hope to see some reviews and I promise to up date this a little more.
If you have any ideas on how you would like Abel, Ion, Nataku, Alexander, Shiba, and Fujin to be save from the coyotes then please tell me and I'll see if it fits.
Please post some reviews so that I know how good it is going or how bad it is going.
Please and thank you.
