Sorry for taking so long. I had some extreme writer's block. Thanks for being patient with me. Well here's chapter three.
Chapter Three
The two young wolves hurried back to the cave. They didn't want the others to change their minds. When they got there Ma'kiiyah explained to the others about what happened to her before. After her story, the gang sat in an awkard silence.
"So ya have people after ya, huh?" asked Hige.
"Yes," replied Ma'kiiyah.
"How long have you been on your own?" asked Kiba.
"Um… about 3 months. They all most caught me once last month." she said.
Toboe was amazed that she was able to survive that long as she was. She's half the size he was when he was first on his own. He didn't even last 4 weeks on his own before he found himself depending on the others.
Everyone sat and stared at the fire for hours untill everyone was sleep except for Tsume and kiba.
"I think this girl is up to something" said Tsume.
"What makes ya think that?" asked Kiba
"I mean she just comes out of nowhere with this story and you guys believe her" he explained.
"I never said that I believed her-" he was cut off.
"She could be working for Jagura or someone" Tsume explained, "Maybe she's workin' for this Xiao person"
"Look, I don't fully trust her either. So we're just gonns have to wait a see" Kiba whispered 'cause Ma'Kiiyah stirred in her sleep, "Besides what harm can a little girl do?"
A lot" he murmured.
Soon enough both wolves were asleep.
The next morning they woke up with a surprise. Hige, with kean sense of smell, smelled a human close by.
"Hey guys," he whispered, waking them up, "Guys, there's a human , a few of 'em"
"Where?" asked Kiba groggy.
"Near by. No, very close" Hige warned, " We gotta get out of here!"
He and Kiba woke up the others and warned them. Soon there were gunshots and yells. The wolves shot out of the cave in their wolf form. Ma'Kiiyah got a quick look at the men and knew exactly who they were. Lost in thought,(as a human) she tripped up. Noticing this, Kiba went back to help her. One of the men who were close shot his gun at them just slightly missing Ma'Kiiyah's head. The wolves ran until they lost the men. They stopped to rest.
"You're bleedin', Kiba" said Toboe looking at his arm.
"Yeah a bullet got me. No biggie" said Kiba grabbing his arm.
"I'm sorry you guys!" cried Ma'Kiiyah.
"What for?" asked Hige.
"Those men, they work for Xiao" she explained, " I guess they tracked me down and you got hurt in the process. I'm sooo sorry" She tried to fight back the tears swelling in her eyes.
"It's okay we've been in situations likes this before" said Toboe putting his hand on her shoulder.
"Yeah besides it's just a scratch" he insured
"Still I'm sorry" she replied.
Hey look!" exclaimed Toboe pointing , "There's a city near by. Should we go?"
"Yeah, maybe we'll find some food and get a band-aid for Kiba's boo-boo" Hige laughed.
Tsume grunted and gave Ma'Kiiyah a suspicus look and ran after the others, she followed. The wolves ran and entered a beat down called Bom Central City. (Made up city by the way) By the look of the city you could tell why they called it that. The city was dark and errie, spooky and damp, and smelled of rotten things. It wasn't a pleasant place to live.
As they walked down the streets of Bom Central City, they noticed all the dirty people, the creepy people, and the crazy people. There were crack-heads, drug-dealers, and homeless people. Ma'Kiiyah was scared so she walked close to the others.
"Mmm! You smell good!" exclaimed a drunken stranger from behind Ma'Kiiyah. The stranger wore dark, ripped, dirty clothes that hung off his body. His skin was so dirty that it blended in with his dark hair and clothes. And his breath smelled vagly like alcohol . Actually, Ma'Kiiyah wasn't sure if the person was male or female.
"AHHH!" she screamed and ran into Hige who bumped into Tsume.
"What you do that for?" yelled Tsume.
"Hey I didn't do it, Makayla did it" said Hige.
"I'm sorry, that man, I think, he-he scared me" she explained, "And my name is Ma'Kiiyah!"
" 'iight, Ma'Kiiyah" laughed Hige,
The wolves walked further down the street. The further they went, the creepier things got. Toboe and Ma'Kiiyah really didn't like this place, it made them nervous. 'Why did I suggest we come here?' toboe asked himself mentally. Hige felt sick to his stomach thinking about eating in a place like this.
Little did they know that someone was secretly following them. This person walked closer and closer to the wolves. Then suddenly the man quickly grabbed Ma'Kiiyah and ran in an ally.
The boys had turned around and saw the man take her.
"C'mon guys we gotta help her!" exclaimed Toboe.
They all ran after Ma'Kiiyah and the mysterious man into the ally. But when they got to the ally, they were gone.
"Where'd they go?" asked Hige.
"I don't know" said Kiba.
"Ma'Kiiyah…" whispered Toboe.
Again, I'm really , REALLY sorry about the wait. You know with school and homework and friends (Ying-Darkness, lol). Besides I'm already working on a novel called A Continuous Destiny. So again, I'm really sorry. Hoped you enjoyed this chapter.
