(Kiba, Tsume, Luna, Hige, Toboe)

For the next few days, the five wolves continue to run without a stop. The storm had come to a stop at this point so it made it easier for them to run. They were a mix mash of black, grey, white, dun, and red.

Kiba, of course, took the lead of the pack. Hige was behind him. Luna was in the middle. Toboe was behind Luna. And Tsume was in the very back. All they left behind was their wolf paw prints in the snow.

They all ran by a warm sunset, to a grey stormy desert, and into a scorching hot desert. The sun beat down on all of them with an unforgiving heat. Luna suffered the most because she has black, semi-thick fur.

The sand they walked on burned their wolf paws but they had no choice but to push forward. After another day of walking aimlessly, they make it to another village that was desolate and surrounded by trees.

They stand at the entrance of it in their human forms because of the humans possibly inhabiting this place. Luna looked at it in confusion. "Why're we here? I thought we'd avoid the dead towns all together." Luna commented, looking up at Kiba, who stood beside Hige.

"There's something here. I can sense it." the white wolf said, looking at the town. Luna didn't understand what Kiba was feeling considering the town looked dead to her, as if it looked abandoned. "Maybe there's food here." Hige said, "But there's no flowers if that's what you're smelling."

Luna rolled her eyes at the bottomless pit that stood next to her. He was always hungry. Luna sniffed the air and caught the scent of fresh gunpowder lingering in the town. "Guys, tell me that's not what I think it is." she said, feeling slightly nervous. Hige smelled the air also and said, "Gunpowder…"

Before anyone could say another word, more airborne bullets were shot at the group. Luna covered her face to avoid being shot much like the other four. "Shit!" Tsume swore, jumping out of the way as quickly as he could. "RAT TAT RAT TAT!"

The five wolves used their wolf charisma to evade the oncoming bullets. Luna used her foot to push herself off of a tree and she hides behind a tall bush, not knowing where the others were. They too managed to save their skins by splitting up and now they were spread out in the town.

For a little bit, the bush served well as a perfect hiding spot for her. "I can't stay here. Gotta find the others." Luna said to herself, kneeling behind the bush. She was getting ready to move out.

When she ran out of cover, another shot was fired in her direction. The shot had made her fall to the ground with a shocked/pained yell. About ten seconds later, she felt a shooting, agonizing pain in her upper right arm, the humerus.

She closed her eyes tightly and clenched her teeth so hard. She grabbed her wounded arm which was bleeding profusely. The pain was so bad that she ended up bumping into another tree to avoid being shot again.

"OUTSIDERS! GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM!" a booming voice shouted. Luna breathed painfully as she started to walk in another direction. Luna knew that she had been shot by those village people and it hurt like hell.

She soon started to feel dizzy as her blood dripped onto the dirt below her. "Gotta… move…" she groaned, her vision starting to split in two. She became so dizzy that she didn't see a large root in front of her. She ended up tripping over it, falling flat on her face.

"Gnh!" she grunted, landing on her arm. She didn't move from that spot and slowly started to pass out. Darkness then took her.

(Hige)

The dum mexican wolf had found himself in the town. He hated the feel of this place as well as the stench that it carried. "Damn, this place reeks of danger." he groaned, turning another corner.

"It also smells like food. I gotta eat something." he said, feeling his gut growl. Before he could walk, he felt a shiver travel up his spine as someone shouted, "AN OUTSIDER!" Hige then made a run for it as the villagers started to shoot at him.

"Geez, what is this place?! What happened to Kiba and them?" he said to himself. He ran in his wolf form to escape those humans. All those humans could see was a large dun furred wolf running for his life.

(Tsume)

Tsume had managed to escape the line of fire. He had made it to a cliffside that overlooked the town. He could hear the sound of gunfire in the distance but paid little mind to it.

"Idiots. Nothing good came of this town. It's pathetic…" he muttered to himself, standing back up to walk away from that cliffside.

(Toboe)

Toboe had found himself in the house of a human girl that decided to take him in. They had been talking about a certain flower that would bloom under the full moon. Subtly, he wondered where the others were.

He learned from the girl that this village forbids outsiders because of their village being plagued with disasters. If they let them in, who knows what'll happen?

(Kiba)

He had also escaped the humans that were shooting at them although he did get grazed by a bullet, causing his arm to bleed. He aimlessly walked in the forest. After being shot at again, he ended up falling in some water.

He felt so exhausted from the constant running that he didn't bother to get out of the water, he only laid in it with his eyes shut.

(Luna)

After about 15 minutes, Luna had woken up. She could see that she was still in the forest. Her arm throbbed heavily from the loss of blood. She couldn't remember right away what happened after passing out.

She pushed herself back to her feet as carefully as she could by using a tree. For a moment, she felt her head throb and she stumbled a bit. "Damn it…" she said, grabbing her clammy forehead.

"I gotta find them… I gotta find them." she said, walking towards water that wasn't too far from her. When she did find some, she stood in front of it in her wolf form.

She held her foreleg up in the air as it hurt to put weight on it. She drank some of the water in hopes of rehydrating herself and she cleaned off the wound with the water. After a few minutes, the wound didn't hurt as much anymore although she still walked with a limp.

The black she-wolf turned around and started to run through the forest, her yellow wolf eyes facing forward. She climbed up onto the walls of the village so that she was in full view of the humans, who were out and about trying to find the trespassers.

Her notched wolf ears were raised all the way as she observed the area. Until she saw Toboe down below with another human girl.

"Up there! Another beast!" a villager shouted, spotting the large black she-wolf. Luna wasn't fazed at all, she only looked down at the humans with a calm expression on her face. Toboe looked up at where Luna was and smiled. "Luna!" he called. The black she-wolf looked back at him, relieved to see him not hurt.

"Shoot it!" a human shouted. Luna quickly turns her wolf body away from the scene and disappears out of sight in a run. She knew where Toboe was and knew she had to find the other three.

It didn't take her long to find Tsume though. She had spotted the grey wolf and the white wolf just ahead of her, confronting each other in their wolf forms. Kiba was on the village wall while Tsume was just below him.

She ran up to Tsume, who didn't notice her at first. "Tsume, Kiba, thank god you two are okay." she said, raising her wolf head to look at Kiba. Tsume turns his wolf head to look at Luna. "Wish I could say the same for you. But you shouldn't have found me or that moron up there. There's no point in going further." Tsume tells her, looking back up at Kiba with his wolf fangs partly bared.

"We have got to go. Those humans don't want us here." Luna says, looking back at the grey wolf. He didn't respond to her and kept growling at Kiba. "Stop it! Kiba, whatever you think you have found here was futile from the start! It was nothing more than a waste of time to have come here!" Luna said, her black fur bristled up some.

The four of them ended up finding Hige, who had been scarfing down a thing of meat he had found. After that, the five wolves had left that village behind, never to see it again. Luna still had some trouble running but she was able to keep up with the others.
