Chapter One-To Rescue a Cub
"Hey!!! Hey, where are you?!"
Toboe called as he looked back and forth. He never knew that he was being watched...until a blurred figured crashed into his side.
The cub was smashed to the ground and he slid across the expanse of ice. A mottled gray and brown wolf stood there, fangs bared and foam flicking from its muzzle. A strange red glimmer shone within its gaze, the glimmer of insanity.
Toboe pushed himself into a sitting position. He had absolutely no clue why the strange wolf was even attacking him, but he knew that he wasn't nearly strong enough to try to battle it.
The insane wolf padded even closer, fur bristled, head lowered. He was soon within striking distance from the stunned pup, and he leaped toward Toboe.
Fleet paws slammed into the ground as an ebon form tore into the wolf. The wolf whirled, fangs flashing and scoring a deep gash into the she-wolf's shoulder.
However, there was no mercy in the make-up of the femora's nature. The world had been overly harsh to her, therefore she had adapted herself until she was fit for survival. She was a killer, knowing well her place and completely more than willing to destroy anything and everything that stood within her way.
Yet she remembered Toboe's kindness, something that has never happened to her in her years in the wilds. And that was something for this she-wolf to hold in high regard. There wasn't many like that anymore.
Silver claws strike, sinking against the wolf's flesh. The female pulled away, and placed her weight on her broken leg. With a fluid motion, she went into a battle crouch.
Toboe watched, eyes widen at the sight of the two wolves' blood splattered across the icy ground. Before him, the injured she-wolf the pack had rescued proceeded to mercilessly destroy another life. Those fangs flashed fast and furious; she did not allow the other wolf to even have a chance to retaliate. Tired of the senselessness of all this, she managed to catch the wolf by the back of his neck. With a simple shake of her head, there was a sickened crunch of vertebrae, and the wolf hung lifeless at a strange angle from her powerful jaws.
The female dropped the lifeless body, shaking her muzzle. Blood from the other wolf stained her teeth, and she wearily lifted her leg up. After the use of it, it was now beginning to feel pain again.
Tsume stood not even six yards away. He had started to attack the mad wolf when the she-wolf had shown up. Not too sure that he like having a female do his job, Tsume padded over and helped Toboe up. Together, they ventured toward the female.
"I'll help you."
Tsume spoke the unfamiliar words around a faint growl. The she-wolf allowed the contact; the brief battle had completely sapped all the strength that had returned.

"Here they come."
Hige yawned as the three padded back to them. The female sunk down to the ground with a hardly contained sigh, and caused Tsume to look down at her with slight concern.
"We need food..."
"Quit whining. That won't bring any food here."
Tsume snapped, back to his old self.
'Short tempers come with empty stomachs...'
Kiba reflected to himself.
"Do you smell anything Hige?"
"Not really...just...humans? We must be close to a city."
Toboe looked up at the sound of Hige's words.
"A city? There must be food there!"
Tsume growled and nodded toward the she-wolf.
"You're not thinking of her. She may not be able to make it the distance needed to reach this city you've scented."
She growled right back at Tsume and leaped to her paws, insulted.
"I do have enough strength to reach the city."
That stated, she eyed the four males who just stared right back at her. Those were the first words she had stated since they had found her.
"By the way...my name is Tagg."

End Notes: Finally, she stated her name. Chapter two will be here soon, and you will meet another new character! My friend Komei's character, Kya! Until then...!
