Shadow's Life chap. 4
Good 'ol violence. Isn't it grand? This whole story is in Shadow's P.O.V,
in case you were wondering. I doubt that though.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I flinched at the sound. It was obviously near by. I slowly got up and
walked to where I figured the sound came from. What I saw
was...interesting. At least, it was in my (insane) mind. That wolf I'd just
met-Cairo was it?- was fighting with another wolf who was obviously
stronger. I paused. This is fun. I watched as they fought. The stronger
wolf went for the neck. He must've bit down pretty hard because Cairo
nearly went limp. I turned my back and began walking back to where I was.
"SHADOW!! WAIT!! PLEASE..HELP!!!" I stopped and looked back.
~Flashback~
I ran as fast as I could, trying to escape the humans. I looked back and
saw the worst thing ever. My father was laying on the ground, a pool of
blood around him. My mother was fighting off one of the humans, but the
human pulled a knife and stabbed her in the heart. My brother was trying to
run, humans in hot pursuit. Tears stung my eyes as I ran. I heard a loud
yelp.
"SHADOW!! HELP ME!!" My brother yelled. I didn't turn back or even look
back. It hurt so much..to see my loved ones in pain...that's when I vowed
not to let it happen again.
~End flashback~
"SHADOW!!" I completely turned around and charged for the wolf, knocking
him off his feet. I didn't want to watch as someone I knew was being
killed. I've gone insane. I then went for the wolf's neck and ripped it
open. I felt him go limp and let him go. I made the finishing blow to his
heart that killed him.
"Are you alright?" Cairo nodded, barely breathing. I suppose I'll have to
take care of her for awhile.
"Thank...y-"
"Don't talk." I went over to the dead wolf and drank some of his blood. It
was so good...still warm..I went back over to Cairo and picked her up.
"I guess...you'll have to...stay..with me for awhile.." I growled mostly to
myself. I hated taking care of others. I never wanted to do this. I don't
need to. I'll feel guilty if I don't. I brought Cairo to a cave and set her
down. She was feeling better. Must be a fast healer.
