Chapter 2
"Cry to the Moon"
"Lost"
"TOBOE!" Tsume Screamed at the top of his lungs as he saw the cub fall, the scent of his blood made his very own boil with rage.
His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of another bullet, which almost hit him in the leg; he growled furiously and bared his teeth.
His saliva was falling from his perfect fangs to the ground, as he was about to jump to the other side to kill the poachers who shot his pup.
His pup...
"Tsume! Go and look for Toboe! Hige, come with me!" Kiba interrupted as he and Hige jumped gracefully to get the poachers who were shooting miserably at them, fear clearly visible in their eyes.
Tsume growled but looked down to see if he could find any signs of Toboe.
But he was disappointed to see just raging water, not even a struggle from the pup, he feared he might have hit his head with some rock and fallen unconscious. At this time, he could have drowned to his death.
He closed his eyes furiously, trying not to think that, as he found a way to go down the canyon, jumping from rock to rock, small ways; whatever he could find to get as close to the river.
When he saw it was safe to jump, he dared, and looked desperately for the cub, any signs, but there was just the scent of blood in the air, but not any other sign that would tell him Toboe was still alive.
Kiba jumped as soon as another shot graced his white fur, drawing more blood to the massacre, but he jumped and bit the man in the neck.
He pinned the poacher to the ground, as this writhed in pain, trying to stay alive and get out of there, but he coughed up blood and died, his breathing stopping and his body going limp on the ground.
Hige went to his side to check he was ok, but he noticed Kiba would not let go of the poacher's neck, still biting down on it as if it were still alive. But Hige knew, something was wrong with Kiba and he didn't blame him for feeling that way, he felt the same rage and blood thirst for the humans who shot Toboe with no mercy, he was just a pup.
A single howl full with grief broke the silence, and both males looked towards the canyon, poachers forgotten and left there to rot and be eaten by the animals of the wasteland. Both looked down to where Tsume was. His head on high and howling to the moon in grief for a lost friend. Hige followed suit, as he too raised his head to howl to the skies, crying to the moon, a prayer to the silver plateau.
Kiba growled at them, as he returned to his human form and descended the same way Tsume did to go to the male's side. They all then turned into their human forms.
"He is not lost!" He snarled.
Hige saw this and followed Kiba, joining the small group. "Kiba, I know what you feel like, but- Toboe...I don't think he might have survived this fall...he was just a pup."
"Shut up Hige!" Tsume snarled out of nowhere. Yes he was grieving, but now he decided not to give up hopes on Toboe, he wished with all his heart he were alive and well. He really wished for Toboe to be alive and well, he knew that without the pup by his side, he will loose all sense of little humanity he had in left. He needed Toboe to stay sane.
"I didn't mean it in that way Tsume." Hige said in a small tone. Not wanting to start another fight with the older male when they were trying to look for the pup.
Thunder clashed in the sky, and Kiba looked up to see that clouds had found their way to the night sky. The wind blew a little bit harder, as the rain poured down on them, making the raging waters go even faster.
"We have to move now, Toboe might still be alive, let's follow the current!" Kiba interrupted everyone's thoughts as he broke into a fast run, returning to his wolf form, followed by Hige and Tsume.
Meanwhile, deep in the forest a man with a blue-furred dog made his way to find shelter in the woods from the storm; they had followed the wolves up to the point where he almost got himself lost.
Quent Yaiden has had a grudge against wolves ever since the incident years ago; he has hunted them down for years now, for he knows wolves are not yet extinct. The former sheriff followed by his faithful dog, Blue, hunted down the rest of the beautiful creatures.
He sat at the foot of an old tree, searching shelter of the raging rain that suddenly caught him off guard. Blue sat beside him, and Quent petted the dog in its head, but this, sniffed something in the air, and quickly stood up.
"What is it Blue? Do you smell 'em?" Quent asked, standing up, readying his gun in case any of the wolves appeared to get a clean shot. It has been very difficult getting to them, and he didn't wanted to waist any more bullets, but he really wanted those animals dead. Blue started sniffing the air, and broke into a regular sprint, making sure her master was following her.
Soon she stopped in a small clear, raining was still falling heavily from the sky, her paws were somewhat muddy and her tail hanged limp, her soft fur was now soaking wet and seemed to have lost all shine to it.
Quent reached her, and stopped. "Where are they Blue-"he was caught in mid-sentence when he saw a boy, the same boy he met back in the city, the same boy he tried to hunt. But what was he doing here all alone? And where was his pack?
No matter, Quent raised his gun again to have a clean shot and make sure the boy was as good as dead. But he couldn't.
"Blue, what are you doing? Get out of the way!" He said, his gun ready to shoot at the unconscious boy.
Blue whimpered, and stood over the limp body of the child, her paws on both sides of Toboe's body, her eyes begged for Quent not to shoot him, sometimes it worked with the human, and hopefully for Toboe's safety, he will relent this time.
"Blue, move!" He snarled at the dog, which in return, lowered its ears and head, and licked the boy's pale cheek. There was blood in the water near him, and he was deadly pale, his lips that once were a pink tone seemed to have been drained of all color, and his breathing was slow and weak.
Quent looked more closely to the boy, and he remembered his own kids... such innocence did they hold, and this boy was no different. He could see now the other side of the wolf, he saw now just another child, and that made his heart ache.
It was not of his nature to soften to such a creature, but it was hard to believe that the boy that lay on the ground now, wounded, was a wolf. His eyes hardened, he cursed and shot his gun; the bullet embedded itself on the ground near Toboe's head but Blue did not flinch, she stood there, trying to protect the child.
Blue looked up at her master and whimpered. Quent threw his gun to the ground angry oh his own weakness, as he made his way to Toboe. Blue stood aside as soon as she was sure the man would not inflict any more wounds on the boy; it was the mother-like instinct Blue felt towards Toboe that made her protect the pup, and Quent noticed.
"Fine...let's take this brat. But this will never happen ever again Blue, ya hear me?" he warned the dog, but she licked her master's cheek.
He picked up Toboe carefully as to not inflict any more pain on any of Toboe's wounds, but as soon as he touched the boy, this whimpered somewhat. His eyes seemed to have fluttered halfway open, but he lost conscience again.
It surprised Quent how light the boy was, how fragile a child could be; it seemed he had forgotten all about his own children, but brushed that thought aside as he made his way to pick up his gun.
"Humph well at least we know it's still alive, eh Blue?" Quent said, as he picked up his gun, and fastened it safely in his arm, carrying the oblivious child back to his camp.
Hige stopped abruptly and sniffed the air. "Hey you guys...Toboe's scent is getting pretty strong." He claimed with half a smile, his nose would never betray him, and he had some hopes up that they might find him alive.
Tsume growled somewhat as he too sniffed the air. He turned to look at the others.
"Humans" Kiba's eyes narrowed.
They made it later to the same spot Quent found Toboe. Tsume stood where he used to lie and sniffed the spot. He turned into his human form, as did the others. "This scent; we've met this man before..." He said, half in dismay.
"You've met who? What are you talking about?" asked Hige, that was a few paces away from the others.
"This human, I've seen him before. When I met Toboe for the first time...this human almost shot him." He said, remembering Quent.
Kiba leaned down on the ground and placed his fingers on some tracks. "They took Toboe."
Tsume's heart skipped a beat, he knew not what that man wanted with Toboe if he was still alive. He hoped deep within him, that he was in good hands, but something told him otherwise.
"Let's follow the scent, they must be close." Kiba said again, as he turned to lead the small group, following Toboe's scent, Paradise long forgotten.
