I awoke from my deep sleep to what seemed like only minutes later. But it was early in the morning which meant I slept do at least eight hours. I lifted my head and looked around my den. Kate was lying next to me as usual but it looked like Blaze left for I didn't see him. 'Guess he got an early start.' I thought to myself. I shrugged it off and then carefully got up as to not disturb my sleeping mate. I had to go and get my job done so I had to leave. I bent down and and licked her forehead and whispered,'I love you.' Into her hear. She moved around a bit and mumbled some words. But I knew what she meant.
I left the den and went to the my little look out point. I looked out over my pack seeing mostly everyone up and doing their jobs. But of coarse there were some wolves just messing around and having a good time which meant it was their day off. I smiled remembering when I was an omega, not having a care in the world. Those were the days, but being the leader of the pack was just as good if not better.
I made my way down the slope that led to my den. It was a pretty nice day out, sun was shining and not a cloud in the sky. It would of seemed to be another perfect day in the pack. I sighed thinking how lucky I had become from being an omega to the leader of the strongest pack in the world it was such a blessing. Even with the downs I still felt lucky to be me.
I walked across my the pack getting hellos from wolves and of course saying hello back. It was such a kind place here, yes there was the occasional conflict, but that was to be expected. Overall this pack was a pretty calm place. Nothing big really happened hear anymore after the death of Jordan. But if rather have nothing to do than having him still be alive, I would do anything to get rid of him if he was still alive.
After some time of walking I happened to walk to the boot camp. There I saw the new recruits being trained by their instructors, who were the best of the best. One of which was my son. I waved to him while he was instructing some recruits. He saw me smiled and waved back, but he then got right back to business with his pupils. I laughed,'like father like son." I thought to myself. I then walked off to go and check up on our main military headquarters.
Its not that far from the boot camp so I got their in no time. There I saw wolves just going through there regular routine doing what they needed to do. And making sure it all happened were my four Generals: McCabe, Smitty, David, and Andy. I smiled, knowing that I had such great friends who would stand by my side no matter what. I didn't want to bother them so I continued to walk. I started to walk to our borders to check up with them. Not that I really needed to, it was just standerd procedure.
It took me a little longer to get there but i was in no hurry. I had nothing important going on today so I didn't need to be anywhere any time soon. I walked towards the border were I met up with my border General, Chris. We talked for a bit just catching up and me asking if anything unusual was happening around the border which he replied no to. That was a good thing. We talked for a bit longer until I bid him farewell. I then started walking in a random direction. I looked up into the sky to see it to be late in the afternoon. 'Hmm, time flys when your having fun I guess.' I thought to myself. I then started to walk towards my den were I would have dinner with my loving family and friends.
I made my way to my den, walked up the slope and into my den. In there I found everyone talking amongst each other. When I entered the den the fall looked at me and greeted me back home. I said my hellos to them as well. After that we began to eat. We sat around two adult male caribou and bEgan to eat. While eating we continued to have random conversations about our day. Some were funny and some were interesting but most were normal stories.
After we had finished eating Blaze said that he would be leaving to go somewhere. He had been doing this for quite some time. Just randomly going places with no one actually knowing where he was at. But I had a good idea of where he was going. Obviously he was meeting with Amanda secretly so no one knew that they truly did have feelings for each other. How I know is because I'm very smart. Plus one day he came home smelling of both of them if you know what I mean. We said our good byes to him and he left.
When we knew he couldn't hear us any longer we began to talk again. "It's funny how he thinks he can hide stuff from us." McCabe laughed. " I know, it obvious he goes out to see Amanda." David said. "How do you guys know?" I questioned them curious as to how they knew. "Because we have a secret weapon!" Andy said pointing to Smitty. I smiled and nodded knowing what they meant. "How do you know?" David asked me. "Call it fathers tuition." They looked at me with 'really' faces. I chuckled,"that and one night he came home smelling of both of them." I said. They all burst out laughing. "I can't believe he wouldn't clean up after something like that!" Andy laughed out. "For someone who's really smart, that was really stupid of him." David said. We all agreed.
Thats when about half way into our conversation I just passed out. I knew what was happening but I just didn't know why. I appeared before guardian but something felt off. He brought me to him quicker than usual and something seemed to be bothering him, a lot. "What's wrong?" I asked. "It's time." He said. "Time, time for what?" I questioned. "He's back, and I know who he's targeting for his next host." He said. I looked at him wide eyed. "What! No, this is bad. So very very bad." I said. I was panicking but after a seconded I calmed down. "Who is it?" I asked in fear. He looked at me with sympathy. "I'm so so sorry." He said. I looked at him in confussion, what did he mean. Then my eyes became wide in realization. "No." I said. He looked away from me. "No, no no no no." I screamed. "I'm sorry but it is true." He said. And with that I was sent back to my mortal body.
I woke up in a cold sweat. Everyone was surrounding me with worried looks. "What did he say?" Kate asked. I didn't answer her though. "We need to find Blaze now!" I screamed. "Why, what's wrong?" David asked. I looked at them with hollow eyes. "He's back, and he's after Blaze." I said. They all became wide eyed. Kate chocked on a sob. "Well what are we waiting for, Smitty show us where they meet." McCabe told him. He nodded and we sprinted following him.
We sprinted for about two miles being in between the norther and western sections of the pack. I prayed that we could get there in time to save him. Oh how I wished that we would make it in time. All of us were hoping that we would make it in time. He was family and we always look out for family.
Soon we began to hear the laughter and talking of Blaze and Amanda. We were so close to them. We soon barged out into a small clearing of trees. The two saw us and screamed in surprise. "Mom, dad what are you doing here?" Blaze questioned in annoyance. "No time to explain, you need to come with us." I said to him. "What's going on? Is the pack under attack?" He asked. "Far far worse than that." I told him. "Now come on we ne…" but I never got to finish that sentence. Because before I could a huge ring of black smoke surrounded Blaze. "Blaze!" We all screamed. But it was to late.
We all began to hear maniacal laughter. "So Humphrey, you thought you could get rid of me did yah?" The voice asked. We all snarled upon hearing the voice. It was the voice of the devil. "Oh it sounds like your not happy to see me." He joked. "I'll kill you again you basterd." I screamed. "Oh i know you can. But could you if…" he paused for a seconded and the smoke disappeared. What we saw brought tears to all of our eyes. "That meant killing your own son." He said relesing an evil laugh. I couldn't believe it, my son my joy of my life besides Kate, possessed by this demon. He no longer even had the fur color of my son. He was pitch black with crimson red eyes.
Thats when we all heared a voice. "Blaze?" It asked. We all looked over to see Amanda approaching him. "Ananda don't, he's not Blaze anymore." I screamed out to her, but it was to late for her. The devil that was my son grabbed her and quickly snapped her neck killing her instantly. We all screamed. "Oh it feels so good to kill again." He said. I couldn't believe it, what was I to do in this situation. I didn't know. But something was telling me I had to kill him. It was either the life of one, it the life if many. Tears started pouring out of my eyes. "I'm sorry Blaze." I whispered. I then began to walk towards him. "Humphrey what are you doing?" Kate asked. "I'm sorry Kate, I don't blame you if you hate me after this but it must be done." I said. "Humphrey, you don't mean…" more tears streamed down my face. "I'm sorry." I told them. 'Guardian hold them back.' I told him. I knew he did what he asked because I saw the others try and get to me but they were being held back by an invisable force. They kept screaming my name but I just ignored them.
I walked over towards Blaze until I was only ten feet away from him. He smiled. "Come to kill your son have you. I tought this would happen." He said. He was about to say something else but then something amazing happened. His fur changed back for a split seconded and in Blazes voice he said,"get out of my body!" I was taken back, Blaze was fighting back. But that was only for a split second until he changed back into his devil form. "Whoa, this ones a fighter." The devil laughed. But I could tell he was nervous about it. I could also sence that Guardian was amazed by this. 'Humphrey you don't have to kill Blaze, you can just kill this devil!' Guardian told me. 'How?' I asked him in thought. 'When Blaze looks like himself just tear into his heart, trust me.' He told me. I thought he was crazy but that's when I saw my claws start to glow a snowy white. I smiled knowing that I could save my son. I looked up at the devil Blaze but he had a smile on his face. "I thought something line this wod happen." He said. So I prepared for it." that's when his eyes rolled into the back of his head and he started saying weird words of gibberish. It seemed Guardian knew what was happening for he told me to hurry and do it. I ran towards him but as I almost made contact with him I was sent flying back. He was perfected by an invisable shield.
I got back up, but by this time it seemed as he was done with his ritual because he say there smiling, an evil smile that still haunts me. That's when, in a deep throaty voice, he said,"Rise demons of the underworld." After he said that the earth began to shake viontly. Then the ground cracked around me making giant gaps in the earth. And out of those gaps came things that looked like wolves. Because they were, they were just the souls of wolves damned to hell. hundreds of them came crawling out from the earth. Hell had been brought to my pack. I knew I could not defeat them all so I turned around and ran. I ran to the others who after I passed them were freed from the invisable force. They saw what had happened and knew what to do.
We ran straight back to the north. But when we got their what we saw shocked us all. Dead wolves were all around us. It looked like a nightmare. We saw wolves being chased by demons and getting killed by them. We quickly sprang into action. We got to as many wolves we could across the pack as we could. We went everywhere a wolf woukd be. The others went for their families first and luckily they were ok. We got everyone lucky enough to survive and ran down towards the west and the east. We split up so we could get as many as possible then we would regroup later. I went to the west with Kate, McCabe and Nicolai. We gathered as much wolves as possible including Hutch. We then ran to out regrouping place.
When we got there we met up with the others. Everyone was in tears and stricken with fear. Wolves went around looking for family others moarning over there loses. Hutch came up to me and asked if he had seen his daughter. Unfortunately for him she was the first to die. He and his mate broke down in tears, for their only daughter was dead. I did a head count of the wolves we had and after I did it once I did it again and again but only to get the same number every time, 87. We had gone from a pack of hundreds to a pack of only 87. Many had died, so many. My whole family survived fortunately, well everyone except one, Blaze.
Everyone was demanding answers. Which I explained. After I did everyone was terrifyed. Their long time enemy who was persumed dead was back. But what we needed to do now was get as far away from here as possible. We walked and came to a rise that you could see the pack from. I looked out at my once great pack. This great pack was now destroyed. The Pack of Jasper had fallen at the hands of my son because of that devil. I turned around away from the pack not to see it again for quite some time.
END OF FLASHBACK
I looked across the pack all of them with shocked expressions and watery eyes. I looked over to my kids to see them taking it the hardest seeing as they are related to a devil. "I think that's enough of that for today." I said weakly being an emotional wreck right now. I got up and preceded to walk to my den. And just like i thought they would my kids came up to me one on each side walking by me. Neither knew what to say to me, I could sense it. "I'm sorry dad." Jake said to me. "What for?" I asked weakly. "For you having such a hard life, living with all that death and losing a son. I am sorry for you." He said with sympathy. I smiled weakly,"it's ok, life always has it's ups and down." I told them. "Now if you don't mind I would like to go to sleep." I told them walking into my den. They nodded and left. I walked into my den, but when I got in there I sensed that I wasn't alone. "You can come out you two." I said. That's when out of the shadows appeared Tyson and Lilith both with tears in their eyes. "That part always makes me cry." Lilith said. Tyson nodded.
"What are you two doing here?" I asked. "Just came to check with you." Tyson said. But I knew that wasn't it and he knew he knew. He sighed," I was visited by a close friend of yours." he said. My eyes widened. "You mean…?" He nodded. "What did he tell you?" I asked. "he said that when you finish your story you will pass. But before you do we will reunite the packs into one again." He told me. I became even more wide eyed. "Then I guess I die tomorrow, for my story is nearly compleat." I told them. We all looked to the ground. But I had a small smile on my face, for tomorrow I would finally slip into eternal rest.
I told the two that they would stay here tonight and after I finish my story they would make their presence known and we would reunite the packs. But right now I was tired so I lied down on the ground and fell asleep.
