Hilary and Tyson curled up together and went to sleep. Dan, Fang, Slash, Angle, Maya and Christen were fast asleep too. So was the rest of the pack. Ice and Storm were the only two up. They were scared of the sounds and stuff they heard. Ice got closer to her sisters and finally went to sleep. Storm did the same with his brothers and fell asleep.

After two hours Hilary started to shiver. Tyson woke up to the slight movement and looked at her. He took off his jacket and put it on Hilary. Hilary stopped shivering and subconsciously wrapped her arms around Tyson.

Tyson smiled as he nuzzled and kissed her cheek. His smile quickly faded when he heard something close by. Hilary's ears twitched and she stirred. She shook her head and looked up at Tyson. Tyson was turning his ears to the direction the sound came from. He then he pinned his ears flat on his skull and covered them. Hilary did the same. The whole pack was awoken by an ear piercing sound. Then Tyson saw a man with a dog whistle. Fang got really irritated and tackled the man. Once he stopped using the dog whistle the whole pack attacked him. Then they just threw him into an empty buggy and pushed it down the hill. After he was taken care of they all went back to sleep. Before Tyson went to sleep he gave Hilary $50. Hilary's eyes lit up, but behind it she was wondering where he got the money.

Morning

Hilary woke up to the chilly air. She sat up and looked around. She sensed a blizzard. Once she sensed it she looked at Tyson and smiled. She got down on all fours and nuzzled his cheek gently. "Tyson, time to get up." She said sweetly and gently. Tyson opened one eye and looked at her. Then he got up on all four and stretched like a dog. "Yawn Mornin' Hil. What's up?" "Tyson, I sense a blizzard... Wait, where did you get those wounds?" "Huh? What wounds? It's just your imagination. Hehehe... Ok. Hum... It won't arrive until the afternoon. We better get the others up so that we can prepare for it." "Right. Tyson, are you trying to hide something from me?" "No!" Hilary eyed him suspiciously and woke up her pups. Tyson saw that Max was all ready awake. He nodded and got his family up. Once the whole pack including the bit beasts were awake they set out for supplies.

Afternoon

The pack came back and set up a good shelter. Once the blizzard was there they stayed in it. At times Hilary would sneeze. Tyson gave her a warm blanket Jenny had given him for his wedding with Hilary. Hilary leaned on his chest and started thinking. 'Where did he get those scars and this money?' She thought before going to sleep.

In the middle of the night

Tyson got up in a sitting position and was about to leave somewhere but sensed something wrong. He sensed it from Hilary. Tyson felt shivering on him. He turned around and saw Hilary beside him with her face flushed. Tyson felt her forehead and it was hot. 'She has a fever.' He thought. "Dad, is mom sick?" "Yes, then we should go and get medicine and soup for her." Fang nodded and grabbed a bag. Kai woke up to sounds of something walking. He looked up and saw Tyson getting a jacket on while fang packed stuff in a bag. Tyson changed into a dragon. He had navy silver blue fur and a black mane that stopped at mid back. His face looked like Dragoon's face only Tyson still had his navy blue dog ears. He had amber blue eyes that shined at night and he was the same size he usually is when he's hanyou. And he had bat wings on his back. Fang also changed into his dragon form. They both looked like Tyson's dragon form only Fang had a tiger tail, brown fur, sapphire eyes, brown dog ears, and a navy blue mane that stopped at mid back and Maya had a navy blue mane that stopped at mid back and had black fur with girl green eyes and brown dog ears. Kai stood up and walked to Tyson. He put a hand on his shoulder. Tyson turned around and looked at Kai while Fang got his jacket on as did Maya. "Tyson, where are you going with Fang and Maya?" "I'm getting medicine for Hilary and Fang and Maya's coming. She's sick." "What did she catch?" "It smells like the flu but it also smells like it's trying to turn into pneumonia." "I see." "That's why we're getting her medicine.

Fang and Maya want to come with me." "Tyson, you three need to stay here. If you go out there you might die." "I don't care if I die! As long as Hilary's alive. Kai you need to be the leader until we come back." "Tyson?" "Dad?" "Max? Ray? Slash? Did we wake you up?" "Yeah but what's going on?" "I'm going to get medicine for Hilary. And don't start an argument. Max, Ray and Slash, Kai will be the leader until I return. And Slash, could you look out for your mother for daddy, your brother, and your sister?" He nodded. Then Tyson grabbed a bag full of what Fang and him would needed for the trip as he spread his wings out and flew into the blizzard with Fang and Maya behind him hanging on to his tail.

The snow covered city

The three are still in their dragon forms

Tyson had to walk the rest of the way. He was carrying Fang and Maya because they got tired .Tyson found an abandoned medical/food store and broke in. He looked for something that would help stopped the flu and pneumonia. He found it and took six bottles of both. He saw as aisle of canned food on the shelves. He put his pups down and stuffed some canned meat, green beans, spinach, corn, soup, and carrots in their bag. Fang ran into one aisle and came back with three boxes of crackers. Maya came back from another aisle with three bags of potatoes. He stuffed them in the bag. They ran out of the store. Tyson grabbed Fang and Maya and ran back inside the store and covered the entrance of it. "Dad, what's wrong?"

"Fang, Maya, we have to stay here. The storm is stronger than before and we have to wait until it dies down." "Ok." Tyson saw a fire place and ran to it. He grabbed some wood out of the bag and put it in the fire place. He used his fire breath to start the fire. Once he started the fire Fang came over with a black kettle and one can of meat, potatoes and carrots. Tyson took the kettle and washed it out in a sink with water in the boys' bathroom. Then he filled it up with water from the sink. Once he came back he saw Fang cutting the potatoes and Maya cutting the carrots with their claws. Tyson set the kettle handle on the kettle holder I forgot what it was called and let the water boil over the fire. After the water was boiled, Tyson put the cut up potatoes and carrots in with the meat. When the stew was done they found plastic silverware, a ladle and some bowls in the plastic food utensil aisle. They ladled the stew out and ate their supper.

3 weeks later

The storm hasn't died down and Hilary is getting worried as her children. The whole pack agreed they would go out and try to find Tyson. Max rapped Hilary in a blanket and Dragoon carried her. They followed Tyson's scent and all of a sudden saw four figures in the distance. They also saw them fighting each other. They ran to the battle field. Once the pack got to it a small pack of stray dogs ran from something bleeding and whimpering. After the dogs ran away they saw a hanyou figure that was bruised and panting, bleeding from its right arm, gashes on its stomach and from small cuts. Hilary recognized its scent as did the rest of the pack. "Tyson!" Tyson turned around to the female voice. He smiled at the female. "Hey Hil, long time no see huh?" He simply said. Hilary jumped out of Dragoon's arms and ran to Tyson. Hilary lunged herself into Tyson's chest. He almost fell but he got his balance back and hugged her. Then he picked her up bridal style and motioned the others to follow him. They did as they were told and followed him into a building. Tyson opened the door and walked in with the rest of the group. As they walked in Max sniffed the air. "Mmm... Something smells good up in here. What is it?" Max asked. "Steak. Maya is making it." Hilary coughed a bit. Tyson looked at her with concern.

"You're still sick?" "Only a little. I have a cold but beyond all that I'm fine." Tyson nodded and sat her down by the fire. He gave her some stew he made for breakfast. After everyone was finished with their dinner they went to sleep. Tyson stayed up and watched Hilary. Every time she would sneeze and shiver, Tyson would turn into his dog form and gave her warmth until she would stop, then he would change back into hanyou. At the middle of the night, Tyson heard something in the store while bandaging his wounds from the dog fight. When he was finished bandaging his wounds he held Hilary in his arms close. He decided to have a real small amount of fun with her, completely forgetting about the noise he heard in the store. He nuzzled her neck as he began to massage her ears. Hilary subconsciously smiled and purred real deep to the massaging before she stirred and looked up at Tyson. "Tyson? Is that you?" Hilary asked tiredly, completely satisfied to what he was doing.

Tyson smirk as he began to tickle her. Hilary let a small, tired, quiet yet happy laugh escape her throat. Then she was completely awake and her face turns red as she tried not to laugh so she wouldn't wake the others. Tyson finally stopped "Yeah, it's me. Did I wake you?" Hilary smiled and laid her head on his well muscular chest. "Yeah, but I liked the wake up call you just now gave me." Hilary answered snuggling closer to him. "Your welcome. Go back to sleep. You need your rest if you want to get better." Tyson said gently. Hilary nuzzled into his chest and brushed her fangs against his chest. Tyson purred deeply to the feel of Hilary's fangs against his chest. His muscles relaxed a lot more. Then realizing how ticklish Tyson was, she began to tickle him. Tyson was trying so hard not to laugh that his face turned red. Hilary finally stopped but before she went to sleep, she massaged Tyson's dog ears. He purred EXTREMELY deeper than before. He almost fell asleep because it felt so good. Tyson finally fell asleep to the massaging as Hilary fell asleep to the steady rhythm of his purring.

6:00 in the morning

Hilary stirred and shivered. She didn't feel Tyson holding her anymore. She smelled blood. Tyson's blood. She got up and looked around. Tyson wasn't there. "So you noticed too." She turned around and saw Ray. "Ray, how long have you been awake?" "I just woke up." They changed into their dog forms and walked around the store. They followed the scent of Tyson's blood down an aisle. When Ray and Hilary turned the corner they saw something terrifying. They saw Tyson lying in a large heap of blood. He had a new wound and it was a knife wound on the top left of his chest. Hilary ran to Tyson's side as Ray went to get bandages. Tyson was breathing heavily and was loosing a lot of blood. Hilary started licking his fresh wound. When she was done she swung her right front leg and paw over Tyson. She laid her head next to his and used her chest to cover the wound as she also gave him warmth. Ray came with bandages. She and Ray changed back into hanyou form and rapped the wound up with the bandages. They picked Tyson up and went back to the others.

The morning

Tyson stirred and looked around. Hilary had an arm on his chest and was sleeping close to him. She was saying his name in her sleep. Tyson turned on his side to face Hilary. He stroked her hair gently as she subconsciously smiled to his gentleness. Hilary turned to her other side. Tyson grabbed her waist gently and pulled her closer to him. He then rapped his arms around her waist as he nuzzled her hair. He fell asleep to her sweet scent.

Before the chapter goes on I have to tell you this. Dranzer, his kids and May has their wings on their backs and has arms and paws like Dragoons. Ok, that's all. Sorry to slow you down.

Afternoon

Hilary woke up to someone pulling on her right ear. She opened one eye and saw Slash in his puppy form pulling on her right ear playfully on her head. She did a powerful ear flick and her pup fell off her head. She got up and turned into her dog form. She stretched and looked at her pup. Hilary smiled as she bent down and rubbed her nose against Slash's nose. He wagged his tail and licked her cheek before running outside. Everyone else was outside except for Hilary and Tyson. She turned to Tyson and smiled. He was in his dog form on his side. Hilary walked up to him and licked his cheek. He stretched and looked up at Hilary. He got up on all four paws and walked up to her. He gave her a nose to nose rub to say good morning. Hilary licked his cheek again and they walked out the door side by side. Once they went out they saw all the snow was gone and it was hot outside. Max came up to Tyson smiling. "Hey Tyson! We found a place where they got free stuff! And there are the hot wheels we use to ride there." Tyson smiled and wagged his tail.

The whole dog pack turned back into their hanyou form and ran to the place as the bit beasts followed. Once they got there they ran to the old garage. There were new stuff there and a sign said take for free. All the girls grabbed a guitar. All the boys grabbed a rock guitar. The kids found drums and grabbed them. The guys followed Max to the back of the garage as the girls stayed where they were. The guys' sons followed them. After a few minutes the guys scared the crap out of the girls as did their sons scared their daughters. They were all on motorcycles. The small boys were riding motorcycles big enough for them. All the girls including their daughters squealed in excitement. "Hello ladies. Wanna' ride?" Tyson asked in a cool way. Hilary jumped on his motorcycle and rapped her arms around his waist. The girls did the same to their mate or brother. Then the boys started their motorcycles and rode of with their mates and sisters and the instruments.

After they got back to their new home they were all laughing. The boys put their motorcycles in the empty part of the store. After they were done laughing they all went to sleep. Tyson, Kai, Max and Ray and their bit beasts were awake. They heard a sound in the store. Hilary woke up to the sound. She saw Tyson standing over her on all four. He was baring his fangs and he was snarling. His ears were flat against his skull. Hilary's pupils turned into slits as she saw a figure in the dark. Hilary pinned her ears against her skull and made a terrified look on her face. Tyson sensed her fear and looked at her. He turned into his dog form and licked her face. Then he turned back to the figure and snarled at it. Hilary turned into her own dog form and was about to get out from under Tyson. Tyson moved and let her get by his side.

Kai, Max and Ray were in their dog forms and did the same to their mates as they were in their dog form too. Tyson had a plan. He told the others and they agreed. He and Kai attacked the figure as the rest ran to the motorcycles. Hilary hoped Tyson would be alright. Tyson was thrown to the ground. Kai barked and bit the figure's leg. He pulled it in the light and the figure was a dog catcher. The man threw Kai off of him. Tyson then jumped and tackled the man. The man then took a tranquilizer out and tranquilized Tyson. Tyson cried out and fell to the floor. Kai tackled the man and dodged the tranquilizer. He bit the man's hand that had the tranquilizer so the man would let go. Kai then grabbed the tranquilizer and threw it in a far aisle. Tyson was trying to get up. "Come on! We have to move before that guy comes back!" Kai said as he was helping Tyson get up. Tyson forced himself to stay awake and followed Kai to the others. They got to the spot where they put their motorcycles at. Tyson finally gave in to the drug and was knocked out. Hilary turned into her hanyou form and picked Tyson up. Then she got on the motorcycle with him in one of her arms. They started their motorcycles and rode off.

The park

Tyson woke up to the breeze in the air. He stretched and licked his chops. Then he got up on his paws and yawned. He looked around and saw the whole pack was there. He woke Max, Ray, Kai, Dranzer, Dragoon, Draiciel and Driger up and told them that the coast was clear. They nodded and got on their motorcycles and rode off. After a few minutes their mates woke up and found out that they left. They put Dan, Mike, Storm and blaze in charge so they could watch the children while the others went to find out where their mates went to.

After two hours they found the boys. Hilary was the first to look at what they were doing. She gasped and covered her mouth. The other females came and did the same. They saw Tyson, Ray, Max, and Kai in their dog forms and they were working, so was the bit beasts. They were pulling large fridges and freezers that were in wagons with the help of other stray dogs. Some people with whips watched them. After a few minutes they yelled at bit beasts and the dogs as they smacked them with their whips. Max finally got too hurt to go on and fell with a whimper.

The people started to smack him with the whip and yelling at him to get up. Max tried to get up but fell again. The captain took a whip and smacks him so hard he drew blood from Max. Max yelped and got up. Then he started pulling again, but with a limp. After a few more minutes of getting and retrieving they had lunch. Hilary thought it was a good chance to get to Tyson. She leapt out of the bushes and ran to Tyson. He was eating a T-bone steak bone the captain gave him with a little meat. When Hilary came up to him she barked. Tyson jumped about five feet in the air. He saw Hilary. "Hilary? What are you doing here?" "The question is, what are you doing here?"

Tyson flatted his ears against his skull. "Well I'm uh... well to tell you the truth; I work here when you're asleep. I come here to get a little money for our family." He looked so sad. Hilary placed her head under his and sat down. The rest of the girls came over and did the same with their mates. The captain saw how strong the females were and signaled a sneak capture. Tyson saw a man with a net behind Hilary. Tyson tackled the man. Hilary looked at Tyson and smiled. He smiled back but it faded as he saw more of the men coming. Kai, Max, Dragoon, Ray, Draiciel, Driger and Dranzer with their mates ran to Tyson and Hilary. "Hilary, I want you to leave, they're coming after you." "I, I can't leave you here." "You need to leave before it's too late.

Do it for me, understand?" Hilary looked at the ground and nodded. Tyson licked her cheek and placed his head on top of hers. "Hilary, I'll come back to you because I love you. I'll always love now and forever. If you're waiting for me I'll come back to you... I promise." His whispered in her left ear. I think I put too much mushy and fluffy stuff in this chapter Hilary smiled and licked his cheek. He gave one more lick on the cheek before she left to safety with the other females. The boys turned around in fighting stance. "So boys, are we going to let a few humans defeat us?" "Nah, besides this will be fun." "No matter how strong they are...," "We'll defeat them." "For our mates!"

Freeze frame of them running into battle and there voices still go on. "No matter what happens, we still got each other, and if we go down, we'll go down with honor. But we'll win if we believe in our selves. And remember one thing... We'll come back to our mates. We can't lose; we promised that we would come back to them. So in the honor of our pack, we'll defend it... TOGETHER!!!
