Part 8
Quatre stared out in the forest. It was raining pretty hard. A flash of lightning flared through the night but not even for a second. He sighed. He was worried about Trowa.
"You should get some sleep. Don't worry well see Trowa tomorrow." Swift said.
"Do you think he's going to live?" Quatre asked.
"He has to! Or else we wont be the brotherly trio no more!" Silence said with a laugh trying to cheer up the blonde hair boy. It didn't work.
"I'm sure the forest spirit well heal Trowa." Swift said trying to reassure the boy. Quatre nodded.
"Now time to get some sleep." Swift said nudging Quatre towards the skin blankets. Quatre crawled in under the blankets feeling how warm it was. He looked out side once more thinking about Trowa. He hoped Swift was right about the forest spirit healing Trowa. Soon darkness was starting to over came him making him fall asleep.
Swift stared at the sleeping boy. He knew that boy was worried about Trowa. He knew that he was also in love with him. He prayed for Trowa to survive. If he died he didn't know what he'd do. Mother would probably be the most devastated of all. He lay down besides his brother and laid his head on his paws and fell to sleep.

Quatre woke up when he felt the rays of sunshine hit his face. When he woke up he didn't hear the pounding beat of the rain. He looked up and saw it was clear and sunny. Swift and Silence where standing on the outside of the cave.
"Ready to go see Trowa now?" Swift asked. Quatre nodded and quickly climbed on Silence's back. Then the two wolves jumped down on the cliff. Quatre clenched his eyes tight. He still didn't like going down this way. Then when the two wolf brothers finally got on the forest floor then ran straight towards the realm of the forest spirit.
~*~
"Are you sure where going the right way?" Duo asked as he scratched his head. He looked up at the sky only to see the tops of trees. The forest totally looks different from the inside.
"How am I supposed to know?" Heero demanded.
"You're supposed to me Mr. Perfect Soldier!" Duo snapped.
"Would you two quit it? We have to find Quatre and Trowa." Sally said. She sighed looked at the forest. It was very beautiful. She smiled as a small butterfly fluttered around her then flew off.
"Well if we find the wolves we find Quatre and Trowa." Lady Une said.
"Do you think Trowa survived?" Noin asked as she stepped over a log.
"So where do you find giant wolves in a forest this big?" Zech's asked. Then as if on cue both the wolf brothers and Quatre jumped out of a bush running past the group. This startled them but quickly got back to their senses.
"Does that answer your question?" Duo asked.
"Maxwell shut up and follow them!" Wufei snapped and ran after them.
~*~
Silence and Swift skidded to a stop as the reached the realm of the forest spirit. There was Moro this time she wasn't on the small island. Quatre got off Silence and walked over to Moro. She was curled around Trowa who was sleeping. Quatre let his breath out in relief. Moro had one of her tails over Trowa as a blanket.
"The forest spirit heard a pleas." Moro said softly. She smiled as she gently licked Trowa's face. It was a wolf way of kissing. There wasn't even a bruise on his face.
"He's still weak but he'll get his strength back soon. I'm going to kill those boars!" Moro said with a low growl rumbling in her throat. Quatre looked up sharply at Moro. He has never seen her so angry.
"Quatre." Trowa said weakly. Quatre and Moro looked down at Trowa. He opened his eyes and smiled weakly. Tears slid down Quatre face as he hugged Trowa and kissed him. Moro smiled while the two wolf brothers barked and jumped with joy.
~*~
Duo watched the two wolves jump around and bark. They seemed happy. He saw Quatre smiling with tears down his face looking at something that the other wolf had. It to seemed happy.
"Do you know what's going on?" he asked in a whisper.
"I don't know but they seem happy about something." Sally said. Duo looked back up at the wolves and noticed something different. Quatre the biggest wolf was there but where were the other smaller ones?
"Hey where are those two wolves?" Duo asked. Heero looked and frowned. Something wasn't right.
"You'd want to look behind you." A voice growled. Everyone looked behind them and saw the two wolves behind them. Anger flared in there eyes. Their teethes bared at them. Then they both charged at them. Heero quickly pulled out his gun and fired.
~*~
Quatre and Moro looked up as they heard a gun shot. It was very, very close. Then out of the bushes all three of the gundams ran out along with Sally, Lady Une, Noin, and Zech's. Then Silence jumped out of the bush after them.
Quatre quickly ran towards Heero as he saw him ready to fire.
"No!" Quatre cried as he slammed into Heero making him miss his shot. Heero quickly got up his eyes glared at Quatre full of anger.
"What are you doing here?" Quatre demanded. Heero was taken back at Quatre's tone. He never heard him so angry before. Except for when he was in the control of the zero system but this was different.
"Haven't you done enough damage to the forest?" Moro shouted. She walked over to them.
"Holy cow the wolf talks!" Duo cried. Trowa watched all of the commutation and tried to get up. Quatre saw Trowa trying to get up and went over to help him.
Moro glared at the humans. Then she looked at Silence. Something was wrong. Where was Swift? Swift and Silence where never far apart.
"Where's Swift?" Moro asked. Then she heard a small cry off in the bushes. Moro quickly ran over to it. Her eyes widen at what she saw. Her oldest son was on the ground with blood pouring out in a small wound on its chest. Staining its white fur red.
"No!" Moro cried as she ran over to her wolf pup. She licked the wound trying to stop the bleeding. Swift cried out in pain. Silence ran over to them running back and forth not knowing what to do.
"Swift?" Silence asked. Swift lifted his head but it quickly fell back down.
Trowa knew something was wrong with Swift. Something bad. He heard his mother cry out in angst. He ran out of Quatre's grasp towards his family stumbling on the way since his legs where still weak. Tears filled his eyes as he saw his oldest brother on the ground bleeding. He bent down and gently lifted his brother's head to his lap. Tears slid down his face. Moro bent down and tried to comfort Swift. She didn't know what to do now. She couldn't ask the forest spirit. He would never appear around all these humans. Tears spilled over. She laid down licking the wound trying to stop it from bleeding. Silence gave a mournful howl.
Sally stared at the wolf family. All of them where mourning over the young wolf. Especially the biggest one. Then it hit her. The biggest one was their mother. That wolf was her child. Sally pulled up her sleeves and walked over to the wolf family.
"Sally what are you doing?" Wufei demanded.
"That's her child. He's going to die if we don't do something?" Sally said and continued walking over to the small pack of wolves.
Silence growled at the women who was coming towards them. She held up her hand in peace. Trowa looked up and saw Sally. He frowned and held his brother tighter to him. He glared at her.
Moro immediately got up and stepped between the women and her family ready to fight. She growled baring her sharp canine teeth.
"It's ok. I want to help." Sally said softly.
"Why would you help us humans?" Moro growled.
"I want to save your son." Sally murmured. Moro stopped growling and looked at her. Then she looked back at Swift. He was gasping for breath. Her eyes soften.
"Are you sure you can save him?" Moro asked.
"I will do everything in my power to do so." Sally said determined. Moro then stepped aside and let Sally walk towards her son.
Sally looked down at the wolf. He was big but not as big as Moro. She gently stoked his fur and stared at the wound. She frowned. It was a bullet wound. She needed her tools.
"I need my tools. There back at the camp sight." Sally said.
"I'll go." Trowa said.
"Are you sure you can make it Trowa? Your still a little weak." Moro said.
"I'll make it." Trowa said. He got up and climbed on Silence. He looked down at Swift. I promise you Swift, I'll come back. Trowa thought then Silence ran off.
So how was it? You have to tell me! Cause if you don't then I'll think you wont like it then I'll get all sad and depressed and wont make the next part. Then that means you wont know what'll happen to Swift. Well Trowa make it in time to get the stuff that Sally needs to save Swift? Will you have to tell what you think peepz! Pretty please??
