Here is the next chapter for you all.
I am not going to lie, I am very proud of this chapter. Everything just fell into place and it flowed out without problems. I truly hope you all enjoy this chapter as I hope to bring more chapters like this to you. If I could write with this flow and with things falling into place this story could be better than I had hoped.
Before you read I want to thank my beta reader, werecat1, for looking this over. They have some truly interesting stories if you want to give it a shot. If you can't find them while looking them up on my favorite authors list. : )
Anywho onto the story my readers. : D

Previously:
"We need to head back to the pack and get ready to move. This pack left rather quickly." The grey wolf said walking in the direction of their camp. The brown wolf followed him. Both were annoyed at how long it was taking to find their friend. They didn't think it was going to be this hard and yet here they were three years after finding each other as well as the human and half wolf and they still hadn't found a trace of Kiba. The humans were using their jobs to help them get across to many places that they thought they could find the elusive white furred wolf but it was getting ridiculous to track him.
Now:
Dream:
Kiba felt himself running whatever the blurry object in front of him was calling to him. It said his name as if it was something precious. But all the other words were muffled. Looking at the area around him, he could see that it was all blurred too but he could tell it was a forest of some kind. The figure started to get pulled away by a dark arm causing him to yell out, "NO!"
"Please, find this one."
"Who are you? Where can I find you?" The white wolf yelled out but he didn't get a response as the area around him went suddenly black. He stopped running and his heart clenched. Something wasn't right with this blackness. Almost like it was living, "Who…whose there?"
"Come to me wolf."
"What?" Kiba turned around looking everywhere, "Who are you? What do you want?"
"Come to me…"
Kiba backed away a couple of steps, "What do you want?!" His ears were moving trying to pinpoint where the man was but it seemed like his voice was coming from everywhere at once.
"The flower waits for you."
"Flower? What flower?" Kiba asked turning his body to look around. His nerves were on fire causing him to want to keep moving. This voice had dark intentions he just knew it.
"Please…find this one."
The white wolf shook his head, "Wake up, wake up. You are dreaming."
"Come, white wolf the maiden waits for you in the waters."
"Please save this one."
"Stop it! Stop it! Leave me alone." Kiba yelled out wanting more and more to run away but his instincts told him it would be of no use.
"Please this one needs you."
Kiba felt conflicted, his instincts were telling him to do two different things. Run and find. "I don't understand."
"She needs you wolf. Find her."
"I don't understand. I don't understand. I don't understand." Kiba said frantically, "None of you are making sense. Who is this maiden? Why does the flower need me? Who is she?"
"You know who I am talking about. Think about it."
Kiba jumped and backed away it felt like the man had spoken against his ear, "I don't know. What am I supposed to know?"
"Find the maiden, she cries out for you."
Kiba's ears went down he didn't like this. He felt trapped puppy, "I don't understand what you are trying to say. I don't know who the maiden is. I swear I don't."
"Then reach for the answer."
"What?" The white wolf said confused as an oval showed a clear picture of water and land near it. "What is that?" He was backing away from it. This was wrong, it didn't feel right. He could feel it calling to him but his instincts told him to run.
"The flower, she waits for you."
"I…I…" Kiba still backed away from the oval image, that place looked familiar but he couldn't recall why. His family had never been their on their travels, "I don't think…I should."
"Kiba, please this one needs you."
The white wolf wanted to cry, "I want to but…but it…" '…it doesn't feel right.' He felt guilt when he heard her cry, "I'm sorry, I want to I really do."
"She waits for you."
"Not in there…anywhere but in there." Kiba yelped and backed up faster. The oval was following him, "Please, leave me alone." He hit a wall making his fear shoot up as the oval inched closer, "Please, I wish to leave."
"Find the maiden!"
End Dream:
Kiba jolted out of his sleep and jumped up to his paws with a cry of fear. He stood there with his eyes wide sides heaving. He knew he had woken his parents and the others near them. He could smell his mother was standing in front of him but his vision was still black. Hell, he couldn't even hear his mom trying to call out to him. All of his senses seemed to have short circuited. At that last moment he had seen a dark clothed human hand reaching out for him so fast it scared him. He whined fearfully causing his hind legs to collapse putting him into a sitting position. He wanted his vision back, he wanted to feel safe between his mom and dad, he wanted what ever was happening to stop. It was scaring him so bad that he was shaking. It felt like the hand was going to come back and take him away. He didn't want that. Kiba started to whine again. He opened his mouth but he couldn't get his voice to work. He felt himself fall to his stomach so he curled up trying to protect himself from the darkness.
When his vision finally returned to him, he found himself between his parents. "How…how long…"
"Kiba." Cole said nuzzling him, "You had us so scared. You wouldn't respond to us."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I…I couldn't see, feel…my senses were shot and…and…" Kiba gave a whine, "…and it was so dark."
"Kiba what happened?" Zali asked laying his head over his son's neck.
"It was so dark. It was trying to do something to me. I…it…it was like it didn't want to let go." Cole looked worried, "How…how long was I out of it?"
"At least several hours." His father replied, "You want to tell us what caused it?"
"I was dreaming of people trying to talk to me. They kept saying to find the maiden, a flower, and a girl. I don't understand it. I also heard a girl trying to talk to me. She was asking me to help her. I want to but…I don't know where she is."
"What is stopping you from looking now."
"My instincts tell me it is not the right time. They held me back from walking forward when an image showed up. But things are not right yet. I…I have to wait for something." Kiba replied not moving from his position his eyes landed on Mark who had decided he was going to lay down in front of him.
"When you do know the right time, take me with you."
"Mark…I…"
"I'm not taking no for an answer. I am going to go with you." Red eyes looking into his best friend's gold, "You are my best friend. I am not letting you go through this without me."
"Okay, I will."
Cole and Zali gave a quite sigh, their time with their son was coming to an end. His path was calling him and they were not going to stop him. They just prayed that their son was safe, they didn't want to lose him.
