(Luna)

I don't know where I was at. All I knew was that I was close to finding Blue's scent. She was definitely out here. The stench of the old man that was her master was with her. The alcohol scent was still on him and it was beginning to wane.

I run towards the west. While I was running, the others were on my mind. Mostly Tsume. They were probably wondering where I was at this point in time. Or maybe they already knew. I don't know. Stopping again, I focus my hearing. There was the distinct sound of a car speeding past me. It was growing louder and louder by the second. My wolf paws make me run again. I kept running and running.

Then, in the distance, I could see two figures. On closer inspection, I see that it's Blue and her master. I had found them. "Blue!" I cry, starting to run towards her. My call grabbed both of their attention and the old man quickly grabs his gun. "L-Luna?! You're here?" Blue said in shock. I stopped a few feet from them because of her master having his gun. "Wait, Pops. Don't shoot her." Blue said, standing in front of me.

With a grunt, he puts his gun down and faces away from us. "Luna, how're you here? Where are the others?" she asks. "We left the city. I had to find you, Blue. Hige was coming back for you but you weren't there." I reply. She gasped at this, not knowing that we had already left. "What about the others?" she wondered. But before I could answer, the sound of that car filled our ears.

Blue looked over and saw the car speeding towards us. Running to it, she stands in front of it. "Please stop! We need your help!" she yelled, sticking her arms out. But it wasn't stopping. "Blue, what are you doing?!" I cry, the sound of the car drowning my voice out. Then, out of nowhere, the old man uses his body weight to shove her out of the way and we hear a crunching sound through the heavy, icy smoke. Once it cleared, we see that the old man had taken the hit for Blue.

Blue runs over to him and starts to shake his broken body. "Pops wake up! Pops!" Blue cried. I come over to her and take a look at the old man. He was banged up badly from the hit. "Is he okay?" I ask. "I don't know! I don't want him to die!" she cried. I straighten up and take a look at our surroundings.

"Blue, put him on your shoulders. Maybe we can get him to safety." I said suggestively. She quickly nodded and managed to get the broken man over her shoulders. We then move from that area. Even though I didn't like Blue's owner for the many times he tried to kill us, I honestly didn't want him to die for Blue's sake.

(Kiba, Tsume, Hige, and Toboe)

The others had woken up by this time. They knew of Luna's sudden disappearance. Cheza had told them where she had gone to. Deeply, Tsume felt a pang of hurt by the fact that Luna would go and leave them like this. It was so vulnerable out here and she could be killed out there without them knowing.

Tsume silently pleaded for her to be alive. He couldn't lose her. Then, Hige's gasp brought them out of his trance. "That's Blue's scent! And Luna's scent!" Hige declared, getting Kiba to let go of him so he could investigate. Toboe comes by his side to support him if he needed it. There was seemingly fresh blood on the ice, making Hige groan.

"Ugh… what a stink. This is human blood." Hige said, pulling back. Toboe sniffs it also. "Wait… this is that old man's blood." he announced. Tsume takes a couple of steps forward with Cheza still in his arms.

"They could be out there. Him and Blue. Hell, I hope that Luna has found them. Who would've thought Blue would go back to being a human's pet? Or better off in the long run." Tsume coldly says. This angered Hige and he snaps back at the grey wolf, "That's not for you to decide! How would you like it if I said that about Luna?! Huh?!" That angered Tsume to an infuriating degree.

"You best shut the hell up right now." he growled, not wanting to think about Luna potentially being dead.

(Luna, Blue)

Blue was carrying her master over her shoulders and he couldn't even walk. She was dragging him. His blood was leaving a stain behind us. They were softly talking to one another and I couldn't make out what was being said. To be honest, I don't want to intervene between their conversation. It's just between them.

Then from behind me, I hear them collapsing from behind me. Turning around, I see them lying on the ground. Blue was in her wolf form with the old man on top of her. "Blue!" I cry, running to her. I look down at her in my wolf form; my gold wolf eyes not tearing away from her. It looked as though she was exhausted from carrying him.

Not five minutes later, I hear another car coming screeching to a sudden halt. Looking up, I see that married human couple were driving. They gasped at the sight before them. Two she wolves with a fallen human.

The two humans were looking over Blue's master. "There aren't many fractures but he may have brain damage." the woman, who I learned that her name is Cher and her husband's name is Hubb, explained. Blue grew more worried by the minute. "He's not gonna die is he?" she asked. "I'm sure he'll be alright, Blue. All he needs is time to regain his strength again. You just have to be patient." I tell her calmly. "Oh… I hope you're right." she sighs.

Afterwards, Blue lays with her master in her wolf form while I sat away a couple of feet. I kept my wolf eyes in front of me and my wolf ears raised just in case I could hear the others. Honestly, I was worried. I didn't want to overthink that something could've happened to them. Tsume was mostly on my mind. What was wrong with me? Am… Am I… in love with Tsume?

After a while, we were all in that car that Hubb and Cher drove up in. Blue didn't leave her master's side. I, on the other hand, wanted to keep my distance. Surely, that Blue's master still didn't want to be around wolves. Wolves like me or any wolves for that matter. As the two humans in the front started talking away, the instinct to get back to the others was very strong. My heart was telling me to go back to Tsume.

"Stop! Stop the car!" Blue cried. I look at her to see her awake. The car did stop. "Open the door!" I yell. Then, the doors flew open; Blue and I sprung out and started running in the opposite direction. We were going back to the others. My wolf legs weren't going to stop until we did find them.

By this point, it was my heart that was making me run on that dark, barren heath. I followed it and wouldn't stop. Blue and I started coming over hill while sprinting. In the far distance, I see four familiar wolves. It was the pack! And Hige had fallen over on the ground. "Hige!" Blue cried. "Tsume!" I yelled. Tsume looks up with his wolf ears raised and didn't hesitate to start running towards me. Hige too got up and limped over to Blue.

"Tsume! Tsume!" I yelled, leaping into the air and colliding onto Tsume. "Oh my god, Luna… Don't ever scare me like that again…" Tsume said, nuzzling me. I nuzzle him back while licking his cheeks. "Tsume… I'm so glad to see you." I whisper, rubbing my wolf head alongside his wolf neck. My heart couldn't stop fluttering. It was true… I was in love with the grey wolf.

Just then, the car pulled up a minute after Blue and I. Tsume wrapped his arm around my waist as we watch Hubb and Cher step out of the car. "Cheza…!" Cher said, seeing Cheza being held by Kiba. Kiba had put her down so Cher could look over her. Then, a distant star shot passed us and gave a soft explosion far behind us.

The ground shook under us for a moment. "It seems that things are falling apart faster than we could imagine." Chere said, brushing Cheza's bangs. "Is leaving this planet the only way to survive? Could we fly away to find some other planet somewhere?" Hubb asks, looking up at the sky.

"Why? Why do humans look to the sky? Why do you try to fly even though you have no wings? We use what we've been given. We'll run on our legs for as long as it takes." Kiba poetically says. And with that, I run beside Tsume while Kiba takes the lead and Toboe is behind us. Hige and Blue rode in the truck with Blue's master.

The wind was starting to pick up a little bit but that didn't slow us down. As we ran, another falling star catches my attention. It causes another explosion. The ground shakes bad enough to where there are cracks in the ground. They steer right to avoid it but it doesn't work. The truck falls over onto its side with a loud crash.

Almost everyone had made it out. Before Cher could get out, the ice below the fallen car started to give way. At that moment, everything seemed like it was in slow motion as the car started falling with Cher inside of it still.

At the bottom of the cliff, Hubb was a few feet away from us as he held his wife in his arms. I feel Tsume's arm around my waist yet again as we all watch from a distance. I just knew that Cher was going to die. There's no way she'd survive a fall from that height. Tears started to fall from my face. Then, the sound of Hubb's hysterical sobbing made it clear that Cher had passed on. I couldn't help but feel sympathy for the two.

After a few minutes, Hubb takes Cher's body over to open water. He places her in it and lets her sink into the dark abyss. Hubb then walks passed us to the car. We all looked over to him and see him try to push the truck right side up. But he slips on the snow and falls over on his face.

Seeing him try his damndest to get the truck back on its wheels made Kiba walk over to him. He decided to give him a helping hand. Soon enough, Tsume, I, Hige, and Toboe decide to help him out. I press my body against the cold steel of the car and begin to push as hard as I could. We all give it our damndest and finally get the car on it's wheels with a loud crash.

"You guys still going?" Hubb asks Kiba. "Yeah. We cannot stop. Not now." Kiba answered directly. "I'm going with you guys. I won't know how long it'll take but I'll make sure that you all get there." Hubb said with determination. He was gonna help us again? Honestly, I couldn't thank him enough.

The gang is reunited once again. Luna admits that she's in love with Tsume. Thank you for reading.
