Pup Toboe talking to himself
Other Toboe talking to Pup Toboe
"Normal talking"
Shattered Memories Chapter 04:
Nightmare
Oh God… Make them go away…
I can not.
Why!Because this is not a dream.
"So, runt number two, what happened last night?"
Hiro has thus now been dubbed runt number two… oh joy. Where does this guy come up with these stupid nicknames? All he seems to do is talk and eat.
"That is something for him to tell, not me."
You are right it's not a dream… It's a night mare…
The crunching of dead grass filled the empty noise in the area. They're coming.
Stay still…I can't. I have to run.
They'll see you if you do.
I'll die if I don't.
Tsume slammed his fist on to the table in front of him scaring Hitomi and Yuki in the process. Gena gave him a stern look that told him to behave, but Tsume just ignored her silent warning.
"You know what's going on and we want answers. The pups have become warped in the mind and I for one would like to know why."
"He seems perfectly fine to me…despite last night." A growl of frustration could be heard on the other of the table.
"That is not how he normally is!"
"Really?" Hiro along with Gena leaned in towards the table, eager to hear their explanations. "Then tell me how is he to you?"
"He doesn't kill for enjoyment." All eyes turn to Kiba. "He would never have that look of pure enjoyment that he had when he killed that human." Memories of the night before flashed in Kiba, Hige, and Tsume's mind. The other two wolves nodded their heads in agreement.
"He 's gentle and likes everyone." It was Hige's turn to shed some light as to who Toboe is to them. "He had such innocence. But when I look at him now… he seems so much older."
Gena gave a sigh and leans back. "He sounds like the way we all use to be. We were all pretty much carefree… until the Hunters came. Then we were forced to grow up."
A heavy silence filled the room for a few moments. The children not liking the silence but fearing to say something, while the others were lost in thought. Tsume was the first to make a noise by standing up.
"I'm getting the runt."
"Be careful when you speak to him." Tsume stopped and was about to ask what the other wolf meant, but brushed it off and made his way upstairs.
I can smell them coming closer…
Stay put! You're going to make it worse.
I can't… I can't let it happen again. I just can't!"Hey pup get your ass up now."
They found me!Tsume watched Toboe twist and turn mumbling in his sleep though he seemed anything but peaceful. The black wolf makes his way to Toboe's bed in order to shake him awake.
In Toboe's POV
I can hear their screams. Their smell is something that I'll never forget.
Then there were their smiles… their smiles made them look so satisfied by the pain they put others in. Tears fall freely down my young cheeks; I don't care if they make fun of me now. At this moment I don't care about anything anymore. I just want it to end, I just want to die and get away from everything.
"… Toboe...?"
How do they know my name?"Toboe wake…."
They're talking to me yet their mouths aren't moving. They must have drugged me or something.
Toboe, open your eyes.
I don't want to see them anymore. I don't want to see anything. If I just keep my eyes closed I don't have to see the color red and I don't have to see their satisfaction.
It might not be them that you see.
I do as my other self says. So far everything he's said has been true. It's almost funny how he's right all the time.
Toboe's eyes slowly open only to look at a mixture of angry concern in a pair of golden eyes.
"Ts… Tsume…"
Tsume allowed himself to breathe once Toboe opened his eyes. He couldn't wake him and every time he touched him, he seemed to shrink farther into himself. "You alright kid?"
Anxiety, which was the only thing that could describe the situation that, is now at hand. Toboe's eyes filled with guilt but Tsume couldn't place why he should feel so guilty. "It… It's my fault that it happened…" The guilt in those amber eyes become rabid with panic the young wolf leaps from his bed and grabs on to Tsume like a lifeline. "We must leave now."
"What? What do you mean? What is wrong with you?"
"No. No time, we must go before they come back."
"Toboe, no one is coming; and we're not going anywhere till you calm down."
He looked like a caged animal with no way to escape. His mind running miles a second about anything and everything that could possibly happen.
They will come back, and when they do Tsume will be killed along with everyone else. My dream will be true and I'll be the cause of everyone dying again… I can't let that happen. Not a second time.
If they were coming after you wouldn't they be here by now? Hmm? You know I'm right. Time that seemed to be speeding around his mind seemed to slow down as he got his bearings. You're acting like the lost pup you were before anything happened. Back then you were weak, do you want to go back to that?
Toboe took a deep breath. …No…
Good.
Toboe's eyes are flooding with different emotions. From terror, to panic, to depressed and self-hatred to calm over the span of minutes. Both were taking deep breaths in order to calm themselves and that's when his amber eyes changed yet again, to eyes of a predator, a calculating person waiting for his moment to strike. The older wolf didn't know what to make about Toboe's mood swings, it was uncanny. At one moment he's like the innocent pup he always is then turns in to something that seems more adult with eyes that look way too old given Toboe's age.
"Are you alright?"
Hardened amber eyes turns to look at Tsume straight in the eye. A smirk formed on his lips. A smirk that is really starting to irritate Tsume a great deal. "I'm fine now."
"What is happening to you?" There is worry laced with every word Tsume said. That caught Toboe off guard, for that isn't something you would see everyday.
Giving the older wolf a grin, then opening his mouth to give him the simple answer. "The Hunters…"
"And who are these hunters and what did they do?"
"Now if I told you that, it would be too easy." What the Hell! What does he mean 'it would be too easy'! Here they all are, worried to death about the youngest member of their group, and he can't even tell them anything because it would too easy? This is ridiculous…
"What do you mean by that, kid?" Tsume's temper with growing thin now. Does Toboe really think that is some stupid game? A game that dances around mystery and supposed death?
Who knew that Tsume would be so close to the truth with out even being told? Now all he needs to do is figure out the rules for this unsaid game; but there has to be more to this then just a game…
Toboe has to be protecting something. The question is what or who. Them? The hunters that Toboe seems to fear and hate? Why won't he tell them anything? Or…is it really that he can't?
Toboe turns to look at Tsume. There was such sadness in that expression. How can someone so young look so…broken? Now that he thinks about it, the others, with the exception to Yuki and Hitomi look the same. What are they trying to hide? Tsume was determined to find out.
"Come on Tsume. The others are waiting." There was no need to be told twice. Tsume makes his way to Toboe's side as they exit the room to join the others in the kitchen. Before they enter, Toboe stops with out reason, turns around and leans towards Tsume whispering in his ear. "You and the others will find out soon enough. Don't rush things, some things are better left unknown."
