I watched as the sun set. I waited a few more minutes until I was sure the sun was gone. I pulled on my black sweatshirt and dark jeans. I was in my room and looked around for anything. I had my bag packed with water, beef jerky, and nonperishable food. I groaned at the thought of the other food. I tied m hair back so that my white stripe was hidden because sometimes it seemed to glow at the most random times. I opened my door and winced as the door squeaked. I growled and closed the door trying to keep it from squeaking. I quickly ran down the hall and down the stairs. I looked around trying to see if anybody was around. I was about to open the door when a hand snuck to my face and I almost screamed but I recognized the scent.
"Geo! Damn you…you scared the shit out of me," I hissed at him as I turned around to face him. He had this silly grin on his face and rubbed the back of his neck.
"Ha-ha…yeah but what are you doing out here? Don't tell me you are going to the battle." Geo said sternly with a fixed face. I sighed and pushed my forehead.
"Yes asshole, I am. And don't think that I don't know that you want to too," I said and Geo looked shocked and blushed.
"Hey I have known you for the better part of my life. I know what you want to do," I said and looked at the darkened sky.
"Lei, I'm sorry but you are not going," Geo said and I slow turned and stared at him.
"What did you say?" I asked my voice dangerously low. Geo stared me straight in the eye making me flinch.
"You are not going and hurting yourself. Even if I can't go but that means you are safe then let it be," he said and took a deep breathe. My eyes went wide and I quickly did something I would regret later. I shifted and punched Geo with my paw and knocked him out.
"Shit," I whispered and picked him up with my teeth gently.
"Hey STRIPE! Where the hell do you think you are going?" Dave asked as he walked up to me in dark clothes and two backpacks. I rolled my eyes and began walking outside.
"I guess that answer's my question," he mumbled and followed me picking up my discarded backpack and followed me outside.
We walked silently through the forest. I did my best not to jostle Geo around while he 'slept'. The forest was pretty quiet except for the random bird chirps and whispers of moving animals.
"How's Geo doing?" Dave asked breaking the thin silence. I grunted and rolled my eyes and kept walking.
"You know you hit him pretty hard…he looks like he has a bruise," Dave said scrunching his face trying to look closely at Geo.
I quickly place Geo down and changed back to my human form. I checked Geo and then I was suddenly on my back with Geo on top of me holding my arms down. His eyes were feverishly green and had an angry look. I meekly grinned.
"Uh…hey?" I tried saying but Geo growled. Literally growled at me. I saw him fighting the urge to beat the living shit out of me. He swallowed and took a deep breath.
"Give me one fucking good reason for me not to kill you," he hissed and I looked to Dave for help but Dave just shrugged and whistled.
"Oh hey look a bird…" he said and walked off into the bushes.
Bastard…I thought and looked at Geo again.
"I am too cute to kill?" I asked trying to make a joke. Geo roared in my face and I shrank back into the ground.
"STOP TRYING TO BE FUCKING INNOCENT! DAMN LEI! I AM TRYING TO SAVE YOU! YOU ARE JUST RUNNING INTO DANGER AND TRYING TO PROTECT EVERYONE BUT YOU! YOU HAVE TO LISTEN! STOP TRYING TO BE THE HERO…I can't lose you Lei…I can't," Geo whispered and sat back on his toes. I slowly sat up and grabbed his hand.
"Geo…you can't kill me because we have to kill those other people who made this all happen…Please forgive me?" I asked and Geo looked up at me his dark brown eyes were back once again. He smiled and nodded.
"WHEW! Now I can come back without getting blood on my shirt!" Dave shouted and came back with a giant stick.
"What's the stick for?" I asked and Dave smirked and waved it in my face.
"It's a fetching stick! I would think a dog like you would know…" Dave grinned and I felt a ball of anger going up my stomach.
"Come on Lei…he is an ass…let the Armenians kick his ass," Geo said and I took a deep breath and turned around from Dave. Dave thinking he was totally safe walked a step behind me and I spun around and punched him in the face. His head flew back and his whole body flew back to a tree and he landed down with a thud. Geo looked slightly shocked.
"Uh…when did you get stronger," Geo asked and I looked at him, I knew my eyes were bright purple.
"I have always been strong," I said and began walking. As I walked I shifted to my wolf form. I heard Geo shift and I think he picked up Dave and ran to catch up to me. I focused on the way in front of me. Nothing was going to keep me from protecting those who I love.
It has been five hours since we left the palace. The sun was just coming up and I was getting slightly tired. Dave was awake and in his dark red tiger form. He trailed in the back because he was still afraid of me. Geo was in the trees jumping from limb to limb. He didn't want to say he was keeping an eye out in the front. I sighed and shook my fur out. The area was covered in two feet of snow. My feet were cold and I wanted to us my magic to heat my feet but I would lose more energy that way.
"There is a river a mile ahead…I think the war camp is about ten miles from that," Geo growled and jumped down from the trees. He landed with a soft thud. I whined and began to run. I heard Geo's and Dave's roars of surprised. I ran straight to the river and stopped. The river was at a hill and the area below is a meadow. Or would be in the spring, I quickly change back to my human form and stare at the two camps that are not even twenty miles apart. I felt a cold icy hand clenched my heart. I heard Geo and Dave run up behind me and change back to their human forms.
"Damn…this is serious," Dave said and I spun around and looked at him.
"What! Why?" I asked and he pointed at the camps.
"You can see that only one third of our forces are at the camp. The other two thirds are in the trees surrounding the Armenian's camp. But the only thing is that there is no Armenians in the camp they are all spell brought," Dave said and I gasped.
"So this is going to be an ambush on an ambush!" I shouted and Geo grabbed my hand and squeezed it.
"What can we do?" Geo asked and Dave shook his head.
"Well we would have to kill all the Armenians that are on the ambush side and maybe if we could we could kill the witch or warlock that is causing the illusions," Dave said and I looked to the battle field and nodded my head.
"We will do it," I said and glared at the rising sun.
