Chapter 8-She's not with us

Shives, Hige and Toboe were now on the other side of the Dire's ship. It was moist and dark. They were in what looked it a torture chamber.Knives, guns, and swords seemed to glitter as they past. It was midnight; the wolves had been locked in the ship for nearly 5 days now.Toboe mad a small yelp when he was vaguely blinded by a large spider web.Hige helped him out.

"This place gives me the creeps." said Toboe, hugging himself as if he were cold.

"Yeah." agreed Hige.

The two boys followed Shives, who neither spoke nor looked at them. She seemed to be in a trace.Hige tapped her shoulder.

"What?" Her voice was stern and cold.

"I-I was just wondering how do you know your way around here?" He chuckled nervously.

"I just do." Her voice was like a knife.

"I wonder how the others are doing?" asked Toboe, looking into the darkness behind him.

"Well If you ask me they should be doing great...that is...unless Kint came in and ruined everything like she always does."

Hige and Toboe looked at each other in disbelief.

"Hey Shives, Kint may have done some rotten things, but she has always been there for us."

Shives turned around and peered deep into Hige's eyes. "Was Kint there when Toboe was killed? Was Kint there when Kiba was going through his deep depression? Was Kint there when you and I were buried under that ton of snow?"

Hige wanted to answer her questions but couldn't word it the way he wanted to.Luckily, Toboe spoke for him.

"Actually Shives, Kint has always been there for us. The time she couldn't be there was when she was sort of dead and when she was kidnapped by Dire."

"Not to mention, she helped bring us back to life." added Hige, now looking a little irritated.

Shives rolled her eyes and growled. "She's nothing but a bitch."

"Don't say that!" yelled Toboe. "I love Kint.Kint would never do anything to harm us or Kiba.What she did was the only way out. She loves us far too much."

"That's right. So basically Shives, the only thing that's a bitch around here is you." Hige glared at the silver wolf with pure rage filling his kind heart.

Shives looked at the ground and softly laughed. "Stupid Kint.Why does she have to be so perfect?" She growled mockingly.

"Nobody's perfect." Toboe's voice was back to normal. "You can be just as nice as Kint, if you just...change your ways." He put his hand on her shoulder but it was attmediatly smacked away.

"Why would I want to be like her? She's a fake." Tears began to develop in her eyes.

"Don't say that Shives.You don't know her that well."Hige sat against the wall.

"Oh but I do."

"How?" asked Toboe.

"She's...That doesn't matter."

"Okay, we can talk about it later. Right now, let's get out of this place." said Hige sighing.

"I agree." said Toboe, following him to the chamber door.

Hige turned the knob but found it was locked.

"What the hell?" He whispered.

Toboe turned around and looked at Shives who was taking a butcher knife off the wall.

"Shives-what are you doing?"

Hige turned around and stood in front of Toboe.

"Answer Shives!" yelled Hige.He had a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach that Shives was going to use that knife on them instead of the door.

Shives said nothing. She just slowing walked towards the two wolves.


Dire struggled to regain consciousness. Kint watched him. He was the cause of all her pain. It was his fault, not hers. But then the conflict she had with Shives came into play. It was her fault as well.Kint's thoughts were interrupted when Tsume placed a hand on her thin waist.

"Kint,I don't want you to be apart of this." Kiba nodded slightly in agreement.

"No, I am a part of this. Dire has caused me pain."

"Not as much pain as you caused me." Kiba glared at her.

Their blue eyes were both filled with pain and love.

"Come on Tsume; let's take care of him before he gets up." Kiba never took his eyes off his caramel colored paradise.

"I'm helping you two. If I didn't punch him, you two would have been dead right now." Tsume and Kiba sighed in unison.

"You...You!" Dire finally woke up. His eyes were wide and he was bleeding from his head. "You wench! I was going to give you everything you could ever dream of and this is how you repay me! Those idiotic wolves will never love you the way I do! Never!"

Tsume was getting bored with Dire's speech so he and Kiba wasted no time in attacking. The gray and white wolves seemed to take turns mauling the black one. They crashed into walls and tore furniture.Chandelers came plummeting to the ground nearly hitting Kint.

"Hey! Be careful!"

Kiba shouted for her to run away and find the others.

"But what about you?"

"Shut up and get going!"

What were they so worried about? Kint suddenly smelled oil. Motor oil. She looked behind her to see hundreds of robotic soldiers coming towards her. She ran down the hallway, not once looking back. The soldiers split into two groups about 50 going after Kiba and Tsume and the other 50 pursuiting her! She leaped over tables and slide across the floor barely getting stuck by light blue neon lasers. She ran as fast as she could ignoring the threats the robots made, ignoring the shots firing in her direction, even ignoring the howling of her beloved wolves. She reached a door and turned the knob, it was locked. Desperate to get inside, she began kicking and pulling the knob. When the door finally gave in, she stepped into what looked like a torture chamber. The scent of Toboe and Hige was strong. She peered into the darkness whispering, "Hige? Toboe?"

The sound of whimpering was heard and sure enough, there in the corner laid Hige, covered in blood.

(So...Where is my "son"?)
