Summary: Twins who had everything they wanted- except for that little wolf problem. But in one night of horror, when everything is taken away from them, what can they do?
A/N: I'm not planning on using Wolf's Rain characters- I may, but I'm probably just using the wolf thing. Please don't flame. And I'll probably get reviews saying that this is a cross over of Wolf's Rain, Cinderella, and other stories, but I'd rather not get those (like I have a choice, haha). Anyhow, R&R!
Wolf
"Kyo, go for her back legs!" Kyoku, a dark grey female wolf with amber eyes, lunged at the legs of the white wolf in front of her. The white went down with a snarl, as Kirin ripped at her opponent with sharp teeth.
Howling with pain, the white wolf, Kiri, struggled to get up from her back. But the grey was relentless, and eventually Kiri stopped, her furry muscles still.
"Okay, that'll do. Kyoku, make sure she wakes up. And if you bother your Aunt Beth, or I, you know what the consequences will be." The red-haired man said, straightening up. He brushed off his filthy pants, and smugly sauntered off to the run-down shack about twenty feet off.
As soon as he was out of sight, Kyoku stood, and was seen as a girl with auburn hair, grey eyes, and clear skin.
She wore a pair of shredded black jeans, a black short-sleeved shirt that was ripped up as well, and black hightops. Jumping to the side of the smaller wolf, she shook Kiri until the girl opened her amethyst eyes, blinking away tears.
Blood ran down her face, and her ink black hair, straight and hanging past her shoulders, was mussed. Kyoku's gaze traveled down her sister's body, noting the blue tanktop, under a short sleeved fishnet top, and black pants that reached a little past her knees, mega baggy and thin. Kyoku's hightops, the same blue as her shirt, were worn and dirty. And blood oozed from large rip-wounds in her calves.
Kyoku felt a twinge of guilt and pain. It was because of her that her purple-eyed twin was bleeding.
"No." Kiri said, as if she could read her sister's thoughts. "It's because of him. Mark did this to me, not you." She said weakly.
Kyoku smiled, sadly and tiredly. Mark was their uncle, technically- but no uncle would ever do things to them like Mark did. Kyoku and Kirin fought, but not because they wanted to. Mark made them, and if they didn't....
"If we don't, he'll rape and kill us." Kiri finished Kyoku's train of thought.
"Well, he'll also kill us if we don't listen.. So let me help you clean up...." Picking her sister up even as she spoke, Kyoku carried Kiri to the small stream behind the shack. She didn't strain at all, partly because of the extreme strength herwolf instincts gave her, partly because Kiri was thin enough that you could probably put both hands around her waist.Living with Mark had thinned her naturally slender physique, until the wolf girl was more than twenty pounds under weight.Life had given them long, thin limbs and tall bodies- Mark had given them fear, bruises, and anorexia.
'But not love. Only Mom and Dad gave us that.' Kyoku thought.
A year ago, when the twins were fifteen, a fire had killed their parents. The house and all their possessions were destroyed, leaving them alone in the world, without any money to their name.
Kyoku lowered her sister into the frigid stream, soaking her clothes and her hair. Scrubbing lightly, she rinsed the blood and dirt out of Kiri's hair.
Kiri gazed up at Kyoku, with that slightly unsettling amethyst look. They were one-of-a-kind, not even close to blue, but really lavender.
Kyoku's heart felt like it was about to break for the second time. When the blood was all gone, she rose from the stream, dusting her pants off. Kiri stood up as well, towering over Kyoku in her current position. The girls were tall, fairly close to 5'9". When you added in how skinny they were, they resembled poles. Beautiful poles, but poles nonetheless.
"Come on." Kyoku started off to the edge of the forest around them, to forage for tonight's food. Though they did live near a town, Mark and Beth were extreme misers, to add onto all their other faults.The two wolves usually found enough in the forest to sustain them, but not much else.
Loping into the outer fringe of trees, they looked around for berries, roots, anything edible- Kyo's stomach still rolled every time she thought of the time when, finding no other food, the twins ate dead leaves, covered in mud and bugs.
But luck favored them tonight (at least for food), and they found several vines' worth of mostly- ripe raspberries. Taking them to another, smaller stream, they rinsed them off, then sat down on a flat rock, eating.
"Kyo.....we gotta get out of here." Kiri said suddenly, her eyes shining fiercely. "We're going to die if we keep on like this. Either we'll run ourselves down, one of us will kill the other, or Mark with kill us."
Kyoku thought this over. She was surprised to realize the truth of it. She supposed that somewhere in her lower levels of thought, she had known this, but the bald facts struck home in a way they hadn't before.
She nodded. "When?"
Kiri stood up, lips bright with juice. "I say right now."
A/N: Alrighty, that's the first chapter! Review? Please? Preferably, 3 reviews before I continue- and when I say reviews, I mean nice ones.
