Well have fun reading my story. I had fun writing the first chapter. I thought of it while I was in the shower when I turned the hot water off by accident. Yeah, I'm weird.
Snow, snow, snow and snow. It was as if it never stopped. Always coming and never resting. It was as if no life was anywhere near here. Completely nothing. The only things that were in sight were four wolves walking breathless. All trying to stay above the white blanket covering the land.
One stopped and fell to the ground as if he couldn't go any further. Another looked back and walked over to him trying to nudge the fallen one up. A pure white wolf in the very front stopped and looked behind himself to the fallen wolf with a bracelet and the brown one with a collar trying to lift him up. A gray wolf followed the leader's eyes to the fallen friend.
The fallen wolf finally picked himself up with a little bit of the collared wolf's help and continued to walk on. The brown collared wolf walked behind him a few pace to make sure he wouldn't fall anymore.
The pure white wolf, Kiba, walked with his head hunched and tried to see his way through the snow. Rest is what he mainly needed, but getting out of the snow is what he more likely wanted. Not once did he stop after Toboe's fall, not even when he himself felt as if he had tons of needles entering him.
The gray wolf behind him, Tsume, stopped a few times to let the others behind him catch up. Knowing Toboe and Hige, they would most likely try to stop and sleep on the way. He watched as Toboe limped his way farther toward the front. Hige walked with his head down and eyes shut as he used his ears to guide him where the others were going.
Just as if it seemed the world would fill up with snow, it slowly stopped and let a little bit of sunshine through the clouds. Kiba stopped and lifted his head towards the sun and gave a small smile. Behind him, he could hear Toboe's small voice yipping excitedly as he praised the snow for stop falling. It was then him and Hige started a fun game of fighting.
Kiba turned around to watch the match to see who would be the winner. Toboe kept jumping on Hige's back trying to make him fall. Hige ran away from the jumping the edge of the hill they stood on.
Toboe, not realizing he was on the edge of a hill pushed him with his front paws so he would fall down. "Toboe!" Hige screamed as he half slid and fell down the hill. Tsume saw what happened and rushed him towards the edge to see where he was. Toboe looked confused as if his friend had vanished from his sight as he looked where he landed. Kiba walked over slowly to see the action.
They all saw Hige lying on his side as if he was dead. He had managed to turn to his human form while he fell. Tsume started down the hill also turning to him human form as he went to check on his friend. From up the hill Toboe's voice could be heard trying to call Hige's name checking if he were okay. Kiba soon too started down the hill sliding down trying to find traction. Toboe was left alone wondering if Hige was hurt in any way.
Hige smiled, then opened his eyes and shouted, "I'm okay!" Then struggled to pick himself up. Tsume looked at him with a stern look as if lecturing him with his eyes. Toboe started down the hill knowing his friend was okay.
Hige stood there and looked around himself as he waited for everyone to reach him. Kiba and Toboe turned themselves to their human form when they reached the bottom of the snow hill.
"So Kiba. Where do we go now?" Hige asked looking at the clear field behind him.
Tsume looked at Hige then at the field. "I know we should definitely not go there." He said facing the field of snow.
"Why not?" Toboe asked as he stood by Kiba. Kiba's eyes faced the field too, and he himself didn't budge to argue for he knew Tsume was more the right.
"This isn't a field Toboe. It's a frozen lake." He turned around and started walking back. "Hige, since you brought us down here, you get to clear a path back up the hill."
Hige looked at him with a shocked look on his face. "But, Toboe was---"
"Don't argue Hige." Kiba said to him. "It was you who acted as if you were hurt making us all go down here. "Now start clearing a way." He said looking at his shocked companion.
Hige started to walk towards the lake saying, "Lets just cut through here. It may be a lake but it's most likely frozen so we won't fall in." He looked behind himself to see if anybody was following.
"Hige? Come here now!" Tsume yelled. "It may look like it's frozen but it's not. One more step and you're most likely going to end up in freezing cold water."
Hige didn't listen as he continued to walk forward.
Kiba started to yell trying to make Hige resist the urge to go any further. "Hige! You're going to fall in the water any second now. Listen to Tsume and come back now."
"Look you guys! I haven't fallen in yet so we all might as well come. See!" He took another step as he heard a small cracking. He stopped alarmed but considered it his imagination.
"Hige! Come back NOW!" Kiba yelled.
"You guys are just worrying yourself over. I haven't even---"Just as he was about to continue his sentence, the whole floor gave away as his helpless body plummeted into the freezing waters making him gasp for air.
Tsume ran as fast as he could over to where Hige struggled to stay above the water. Kiba was right on his heels as he was bound to help get his friend out.
"Help!" Hige screamed trying to grab hold of the ledge that kept breaking away when he tried to pull himself up. Just as he was about to fall from the breaking ice once again, a hand grabbed his and tried to pull him up but he slipped from the grasp. With frustration, Tsume kept trying to pull Hige up but never could do it.
Kiba ran along Tsume and grabbed Hige's other hand trying to help but he too slipped from the grasp. Even if they would be able to hold onto him, the water would still pull him down from the weight.
Toboe watched in horror as they tried to pull Hige up but kept slipping. He didn't know what to do. He knew he wouldn't be any help, only get in the way of them all. He swallowed deep in his throat as he felt a lump form. "Hige," he whispered.
Tsume found the right moment and grabbed Hige on his should actually making his head appear to be there, and ripped him up making him scream as he felt tons of teeth sink into his shoulder.
Kiba then grabbed Hige and pulled him out of the area with Tsume right behind him. After reaching the area where Toboe stood shaking from fear, he set Hige on the ground and looked at him.
Hige was shaking from head to toe in fear and coldness. "Quick. We must find a cave where we can make a fire to get him warm." Tsume said picking him up and putting him on his shoulders. They all ran in into the distance trying to be as quick as possible to save their friend.
Hige shivered as he lay next to the fire trying to get as warm as possible. Toboe just couldn't help but watch as he saw his friend suffer from being too cold. Wondering if it was his fault this happened, he sat down next to Hige and whispered, "I'm sorry." And then got up again and went to the back of the cave.
Kiba and Tsume got back and set the firewood they had collected by a wall of the cave. Tsume walked over to Hige and put his hand on his head. "He's getting pretty warm. Help me take his shirt off." They both took his sweater and shirt off to try and make him dry faster.
A strong gust of wind from the outside blew in the cave making Hige shiver harder. The snow started down again some of it drifting in the cave. Kiba realized a person missing and asked "Where's Toboe?" He then looked to the back of the cave and saw him sitting and looking at his feet obviously thinking it was his fault all along.
"It's all my fault." He said to himself and then let his tears fall.
