Journey for Destiny

Chapter 1: The attack
The cry of wolves echoed through the night sky as people screamed in terror.

Wolves leapt on their victims and tore through their necks until the bittersweet taste

of blood filled their mouths and teased their tongues. Wolves growled as their leader

ran around the back of the village, gazing upon spilt blood on the ground.

"Where did the little brat get to?" He asked himself through grit teeth. And soon he

could sense the fear in the air. Its source was near. A young girl peeking around the

corner of a house could see a tall, muscular man who had brown fur on his legs up to

his knees, one of his shoulders, and his wrist. He had gray hair and a darker shade of

gray in his eyes. His armor covered the shoulder without fur and his chest. He

laughed and the girl saw his sharp fangs as he turned quickly to face her. The girl

gasped and ran in terror.

"Wait! Come back little one. Do not fear me! Do you not remember how close your

father and I were?" The evil voice of the leader rang in her ears and he was not far

from her.

"You are not Roki! You killed..my father..my mother.. Roki wouldn't have killed

them. YOU ARE NOT ROKI!!!" She yelled as she ran. She was scared and tired and

angry. Why was this happening to her? What had she done wrong?

She ran by a small waterfall that fed a lake. This was where she had hid so

many other times from everyone when they made fun of her. This is where she

met her best friend. No one else knew of the cave behind the waterfall except

her and.and.. And 'him', her best friend. But she didn't want to think of her

best friend right now because the thoughts and memories of him filled tears in

her eyes and made her heart ache. She wasn't sure if he was still alive right

now, and that thought hurt her.

She ran up the rocks and struggled to see. The moonlight guided her around the

rocks that led to the cave. In the daylight the water was so clear, you could look

through the waterfall and be able to see almost clearly, but no one could see

you. But at night, she had to strain her eyes and couldn't make out the objects.

All she could see was movement. Soon she saw something move through the

bushes. What was it?

"Where are you little pup? Come out! I can smell your fear." Roki growled. Destiny

trembled and tried to stay calm. Then she could feel something or someone tapping

her shoulder. Her heart raced and jumped in fear. She turned around to face a small

monkey. The monkey ran out from the cave and moved swiftly through the bushes.

Roki hadn't seen the monkey but heard it move through the bushes and followed it.

" I hear you Destiny! You cannot run!" Then he chased the monkey thinking it was the

girl. Once Destiny was sure the monkey and Roki were gone, her muscles loosened

and she sighed in relief. Her hands trembled still and for a few seconds her mind was

blank. Then tears streamed down her face and tickled her rosy red cheeks that

burned from fright and anger. Tears dropped off her nose as she looked around her.

The girl was wearing black pants with a gray shirt. She wasn't very rich but she

didn't really care. Her dark brown hair was a few inches below her shoulders and her

light, honey brown eyes were now red from crying. Then she put her hands on her

furry brown wolf ears and thought of her father, her pack, and her best friend. Her

fluffy tail was also inherited from her father.

She thought of everyone. She lived in the village with her mother Zuna. Her

mother and her would often visit her father, Ginkou. Ginkou had been the great

leader of the eastern demon wolf tribe. He was well known in the eastern region for

his strength, power, and agility. But mostly he was loving. Destiny loved to visit her

father who always gave her a hug and a smile. Then Roki, Ginkou's best friend came

to stay in their tribe for a while. But then Ginkou began acting strangely fierce and

aggressive. That was when everything went wrong. He started a riot and gained

control of the wolf pack. They killed Destiny's mother and father and then attacked

the village. Now they were after her. No one ever loved her through her life except her

mother, her father, and her best friend. The village children and the pack's children

had never wanted to be around her because of her being only half-human and half-

demon. They shunned her from games and called her mean names. They would push

her or try to make her growl and show her teeth. Everyone would have nicknames

and she had one too. But her nickname was 'half-breed'. Despite their taunting and

teasing, she never felt hatred or animosity towards them. Her mother told her that

that was because she was a 'pure soul'. She had taken great pride in that. But that

didn't stop her from being sad. She was three when she became friends with 'him',

her best friend. She had been crying by this very lake when he asked her what was

wrong. He had been kind to her and they became great friends. Whenever someone

had made her sad he would find a way to cheer her up. She hadn't visited her father

in a month, so she didn't know how everyone else was. Roki had killed everyone who

remained loyal to Ginkou, so was her best friend still alive? She missed him and more

tears dripped off her nose as she began to sing. Her mother had a wonderful voice

that she also inherited. But Ginkou's demon power also mixed in with her singing

ability. So now when she sung, she was able to heal small wounds and cuts, and

maybe mend broken hearts. When she was done singing, she drifted off to sleep.

"I will avenge you all someday. Mother.father.. Koga."
