Chapter 5 : " Judgement Day "

When everyone finished eating i decided i will take a drink from near by waterfall pond.

After i took few swigs of water i noticed a movement to my left. It was Kalash.

When i saw him i nearly fel into the pond as i tryed to move away.

"You should consider yourself lucky" He said as i jumped away in fear.

"Y-yea i-i know because i'm still alive" i replied bearly standing.

"That too, but alsaw because the fact my mate is on your side. You are safe here ... for now at least" i froze when i heard last words.

Then he simply walked away with that evil smile on his face.

I just stood there unsure what to do.

Then when i was just thinking of what just happend i saw a shadow of parted jaws comeing towards me. Before i could react i fealt sharp but short pain on my side.

Just when i was about to say ouch i heard the young giga giggle.

"Hehe now you are IT" said Roody and then started to run away.

"Ouch ?" i said unsure of what actualy happend.

Just as i said it i heard another voice somewhere infront of me.

"Roody leave Skylen alone he was not playing so it unfair to tag him like that" said Maugrim as he looked as this younger brother and then spoke up to me.

"Sorry for that he is always full of energy after a meal" he said as he tryied to catch his brother.

"Its fine i just got surprised thats all" i relpied.

"Why wont he play with us Maugrim?" ask Roody who finaly stoped running.

"Because he is tired and he needs some alone time" explained Maugrim.

"Oh ... ok then" said Roody as he nipped his brother side.

"Now you are IT hehe" he added as he run.

"Oh you little..." said Maugrim.

"Hey Maugrim!" i said after he started to turn around.

"Yes? What is it Skylen?"

"I just wanted to say thank you ... and call me Sky by the way" i said as i walked closer to him. Even if he was younger then me he still was a bit bigger then me.

"Well ok. No problem Sky" he replied as he started to run after Roody.

As i started to walk towards the den i faild to see one of gigas waiting in bushes to my left.

I jumped as soon as i heard a roar and saw him chargeing at me. As i looked at him i noticed that was Lynx. When he parted his jaws and his eyes flashed with every intention to kill me i just fel down to the ground and closed my eyes in fear.

I expectied that he will ram into my side at any second but insted of that i heard him laughing as i almost cry out of fear.

"Haha got you good" he said as i opened my eyes.

Out of fear and being mad at him i snaped my jaws in his direction which made him stop laughing.

"Grrrr that wasn't nice!" i yeald as i stood up and takeing a threatening posytion as well as i start ro growl at him.

As we were growling at each other we heard footsteps behide us.

It was Maddie, the only hunter that havent come back in time to the den.

She was mostly dark brown but she has a white strpie going across her from lower jaw to the tip of a tail. She alsaw have a yellow strpis accros her head back and tail.

"What is going on here?" she asked surprised looking at me as i colapsed to the ground when i saw anger in her eyes. I started to panic as she came closer and closer.

Only think that was screaming in my head was call for help call for Enna, so i did just that.

"E-Enna help !" i screamed out loude as i begine to cry and back away.

"Wait what? How you know Enna?" she said surprised

"Maddie wait!" i heard Enna calling out while she was running out of the den.

"Who is he and why is he here?!" asked Maddie.

"He is Skylen Xander he is staying with us for a while. You better start knowing each other because soon we will vote if he can stay or not" explained Enna.

"And what if you decide i cant stay? what will you do?" i asked scared.

"Well you will then stay till you can walk properly and you will leave" answered Enna.

"I hope i can leave both of you here and talk to each other so i can go back to den" she added shortly after.

"Yes Enna you can go as long as he stays here under your permission i wont lay a claw on him" sayed Maddie.

"Good. Call me if you will need anythink" replied Enna as she walked back to the den.

"Sooo..." i started.

"Sooo what ?" sayed Maddie.

"What you want to know about me ?" i said.

"Well many thinks like where you came from, how did you get here, whet happend to you that you are limping and most importent where did you got those scars in such young age" she asked.

"Ummm well ... " i started as i got lost in this many questions.

"First i came from quite far away over 3 days of walk from here. I did not get here by my own ... Enna had help me come here last night as i was unable to walk by my own. Why am i limping ? Well i just trip over a rock and fel dwon the small hill. As to from where i have thos scares ... well its a long story" i answered.

"Saying that its long story dose not mean youcant tell me. I thought you was suposed to tell me somethink about yourself!" she replied.

"glupwell fine" i said as i started to tell her what happend all that time before.

"So in short it all started almost year ago when my pack was attacked by rexes as i try to escape i fel down to quarry where after some time i met Kalash and-"

"Wait what? You say you met Kalash ... a year ago ?Aren't you were just a yoingling at that time ?! How are you still in one piece ?!" asked Maddie surprised.

"Yea i know i'm lucky i heard this today already" i replied with a small sigh.

"Like ... wow ... anyways please continue" sayed Maddie astonished.

"So as i was saying after a while of liveing alone near a big lake till like three days ago i moved away as there was too many big predators for me to stay safe. So i decided to move. And after two days of walling i heard water down there i rushed to it to take a drink but i failed to see a rock and i trip over it and fel down small hill. After some time Enna had found me and bring me here last night" i layed down as i finished telling the story.

"Wow ... your life was trully hard one. I hope they will let you stay here. Just remever try to show you are useful so you will convince Kalash. He will have a last word and it will be most importend one. So if he wont see you as someone who can hunt for family ... well then most likely you will have to leave. I will stay on your side. If you survived almost a year alone you should be good hunter which is just what Kalash needs" said Maddie.

"Thank you, Maddie" i said

"Your welcome" she replied

As we parted ouer ways i moved back to take one more drink before i went to lay down on a rock while sun was up in sky and it was realy warm.

As i fel asleep an a rock it started to be evening .

I woke up to some noises inside the den.

As i jump down from the rock i started to walk to the den to see what was going on.

When i get it i heard how Kalash Enna, Maddie, Haute and Chaos were in a middle of they little argue.

"Kalash listen he survived by his own for almost a year which might proof him to be good hunter. I know he is hurt now and he is not useful on hunts yet but i know he will just ... just give him chance!" said Maddie to whitch Haute, Enna and Chaos agreed.

"Kalash please, at least test him out" said Enna as she tryed to pleased her mate by nuzzleing his throat and lower jaw.

"What kind of test ?" i asked as i stood by the entrance of the den.

"I will think of somethink special for you" answered Kalash as he smiled.

I realy dont like that smile ... its somethink evil about it. I'm always afraid when he do so.

"For now you can stay and rest untill you can run. Trust me you will need that ability during the test" added Kalash.

As i heard this i swallowed some saliva and tryed to stay calm while Kalash walked just right next to me to which i lowered myself to the ground. I was realy afraid of him.

"Dont worry he is only playing with you" said Chaos.

"Y-you think so ?" i asked scared

"yea i'm sure. Just do your best even if you know you will fail" added Chaos.

"O-ok ..." i replied

"Just dont fail you looks to be a nice adolescent and would like to have someone like you in family" added Haute.

"Thank you for staying on my side it means a lot to me to again have a chance of being part of the family" i said wagging my tail for the first time in long while. I was trully happy to have a possibility to have a family again, someone to fullfil the hole in my life.

"Heh i see you already like idea of staying here with us" sayed Enna.

"Yes i do" i replied.

"Well its sunset soon and we will soon go to sleep as well" said Enna as she walked to her nest looking around.

"Maugrim! Roody! Where are you its time to go to sleep" she said shortly after.

"You comeing? she asked as she looked at me.

"I-i think so" i replied unsure of how Kalash will react to fact i will sleep close to his mate.

As we layed there trying to fell asleep Kalash came back from outside. And just as i thought he wasn't too happy about the fact i layed down there.

"Move away" he sayed angerly.

"B-but-" i tryed to speek as i was shakeing in fear.

"Its ok Kalash i letted him sleep here he is outside the nest anyway" said Enna as she saw how frightened i was.

"Grrrr fine! He can stay" said Kalash angry.

As time pass by and i finlay relaxed even with close presents of Kalash i fel asleep.
