Here's Chapter 4, yes I know chapter 3 wasn't as good as chapters 1 and 2 but it was just a "breakout" chapter and chapter 4 should be better…
"W-what was that?" Toboe stuttered.
But the other two didn't seem to realize he had said anything. Without warning, Kiba jolted forward, stopped right under where the two figures had been standing, and then jumped up, running off. He jumped from rooftop to rooftop leaving the other two wolves behind.
Hige, realizing that his ticket to Paradise had just literally jumped out of the picture, dashed forward, yelling back, "Come on!"
Toboe ran forward after Hige who had already leapt up. "Guys?" He reached the roof of the building and looked around. Off in the distance he could just make out the two figures running forward. What should I do? I-I want to go with them, but I need to find Leara, I need to see her again.
Without anymore thought on the moment, he ran in the opposite direction towards Leara's House. He knew of course that she wouldn't be there, but he had to try. After running for quite some time he looked over his shoulder and saw the sun beginning to rise. As the light began to pour over the city, his stomach growled, reminding him of his hunger. He walked slowly down the dark alley way feeling as if there was nothing that could brighten his mood.
This world, this world is cold
But you don't, you don't have to go
You're feeling sad you're feeling lonely
And no one seems to care
Your family's gone and there's no one waiting
This pain you cannot bare…
Large, cold snowflakes drifted down to the ground. Toboe whimpered as the freezing wet flakes hit his sensitive nose. He made his way down the rest of the alley and came to another cross-road; a brightly lit, traffic-filled street, and an almost pitch black alley way that looked as if it had been left untraveled for many years. All he had to do was pick which road, the brightly lit road didn't seem to have anything interesting while the darker road had the scent of freshly thrown out Italian food. Finally there was something to make him happy.
But we all bleed the same way as you do
We all have the same things to go thru
Hold on, if you feel like letting go
Hold on, it gets better than you know…
The dark back-road didn't seem to bother the wolf who could see clearly as if it were the middle of the afternoon. He approached the garbage cans brimming with half-eaten spaghetti and Italian bread. Just as he was about to dig in, a large chocolate-colored dog stepped out of the shadows and bared his fangs. With a low but menacing growl, the dog sent Toboe against the wall, only to watch the animal eat to his heart's content. How could all of this happen, everything was going wrong and he couldn't stand it anymore.
Your days you say they're way too long
And your nights you can't sleep at all
And you're not sure what you're looking for
But you don't want to no more
And you're not sure what you're waiting for but you don't want to no more…
The ground by now was completely covered in a thin layer of snow and Toboe took a step forward. He wasn't going to let this dog ruin his only chance to be happy today. Letting out a low growl, Toboe stepped even closer to the dog, when it lifted its head and stared at him with angry green eyes. Seeing that Toboe wanted to get in on the meal, the dog leapt at him giving Toboe a large gash in his shoulder. He let out a pain-filled howl and tried to keep his distance.
"There's no room for your kind here, I suggest you leave if you want to stay alive." The dog sneered.
With nothing left to do, Toboe slowly walked out the way he had come, limping on the side with the bite.
But we all bleed the same way as you do
And we all have the same things to go through
Hold on, if you feel like letting go
Hold on, it gets better than you know
Don't stop looking you're one step closer
Don't stop searching it's not over, hold on…
He wandered through the city searching for any sign of Leara's house. Without a scent to follow or any clue at all, it seemed hopeless.
What are you looking for?
What are you waiting for?
Do you know what you're doing to me?
Go ahead, what are you waiting for?
He settled on sleeping on the rooftop of one of the buildings, away from the noise and the angry dogs. Curling up beside a large vent, he tried to think back to when he had last seen Leara.
"Leara wait!" Toboe mentally shouted. "I'm sorry!" He began to howl, which made her back up even more.
"Y-you're the dog I saw earlier!" She continued to walk backwards and without warning, tripped over a tree root. She yelled out in fright and closed her eyes while she waited to hit the ground.
"LEARA!" He ran and caught her on his back before she hit the ground.
She opened her eyes and when she realized she had not hit the ground, she looked and saw Toboe struggling to support her on his back. She knelt down and slowly looked into his eyes. In them, she saw fear, regret, and large tears. Taking pity on him, Leara began to scratch his ears, "Its ok boy, don't cry. You didn't know it would kill my bird…"
Suddenly, a man gazed out of the window and noticed his daughter next to a strange, very large dog and yelled out, "Leara! Get away from that thing!" He paused and ran outside. "Get!" He swung his arm at Toboe, causing the wolf to run off to the edge of the yard, sit back down, and stare at the girl. "Come on Leara, we've got to go meet your mother at the cabin." He helped her up and led her to the car, all the time, she watched Toboe sitting there with a sad, confused look in his eyes.
Nothing was making any sense. All he knew was that he had to find her, just so he could know how she felt.
Hold on, if you feel like letting go
Hold on, it gets better than you know
Don't stop looking you're one step closer
Don't stop searching it's not over
Hold on, if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know, hold on…
How was it? Review!!!
Oh and yes I know I changed the Lyrics a bit, "You're mother's gone and your father hits you" but Toboe's parents are both gone so to make sense, I changed it to "You're family's gone and there's no one waiting"…
