And going...

Yakko and Dot continued to trudge through the dence forest, the afternoon sun already makeing the humidity unbearable.

"It's so hot!" Dot said, stateing the obviouse. Yakko took his glove off and rung it out.

"Yea...no kidding. And after liveing in California for over seventy years, that's really saying something!" replied Yakko. Little did they know, they were being watched...unless, ofcorse, they read that.

Wakko watched his siblings from just beyond the trees, just out of sight. He was still planning on hurting them, his anger fueling his thoughts and actions. He growled in anticapation.

"Not yet...wait. I'll let you know when the time is right..." his mentor whispered. Wakko only growled in responce, but did what he was told (yay for OOCness!).

"Do you really think we're gonna find him?" Dot asked, after barely succeding to not throw up at her brother's last actions. Yakko put his glove back on.

"Yea...ofcorse we will, sis! Why do ya ask?" questioned Yakko. Dot shrugged.

"Maybe he doesn't wanna be found." she replied simply. Yakko chuckled.

"Yea, but sis you're forgetting someing."

"What's that?"

"We're the best at finding people who don't wanna be found!"

Much usless dialog later, they stopped to rest by a big oak tree. It's not like he'd ever admit it, but even Yakko was beginning to lose hope of ever finding Wakko. After all they had been through together...could this really be it? Lost forever in some wolf-infested forest? He didn't like to think about it, but that really seemed to be where this story was going. You'd think that a rabid fan of their show would show them more respect. But enough of that. Back to the story.

The wolf grinned and licked the drool from his fangs. He turned to Wakko, who looked like he was ready to pounce at any second.

"Alright. Now. Lesson one; stalking-" he didn't get to finish his sentence, however. Wakko took off like a bullet. The wolf was about to run after him, but decided to just sit back and watch. A little boy tearing his siblings to shreds, and free food. What more could he ask for?

Yakko was the first to see him. About a second before he was thrown to the ground, that is. He was usedto this kindof greeting from Wakko, so he just chuckled.

"There you are, bro! We've been look'in all over for ya!" he said. Wakko just glared at him with hunger in his eyes, and let out a low, angry growl. Yakko found a lump in his throught and tried to swallow. Something wasn't right.

"Uh...heh heh...you don't look so good, Wakko..." Yakko squeeked. He tried to get up. However, despite their major size difference, Wakko still wieghed as much, if not a little more, than he did.

"Kill him! Do it now!" the wolf commanded telapathically. Wakko licked his fangs and prepaired to sink his teeth into Yakko's neck. But scenes from his nightmare came rushing back. This is what it had meant. This is what it had warned him of. What was he doing? This was his brother! He could never hurt him!

Wakko was about to back off, when he was thrown off. He collided with a tree and it knocked the wind out of him. Before he could recover, Dot had pinned him to the ground, a look of pure anger on her face and a rock raised above her head. She wasn't about to let him do this. She had to end it.

Wakko didn't fight it. He just layed there, looking into the eyes of his beloved sister for the last time. If this was how it was to end, then so be it. Atleast his siblings would be safe. From him.

As Dot returned her brother's gaze, she could read his mind. The tears streaming down his face prompted her own tears to fall. She threw the rock away and hugged her brother.

"I'm so sorry, Wakko..." she sobbed. There was no way she could do that to him. No matter what he had become. Over Dot's shoulder, Wakko caught Yakko's gaze. Yakko smiled, trying very hard to fight more tears. Wakko smiled back, weakly.

Dot soon could hear Wakko's thoughts in her own mind.

"Dot...it's okay. Finish it. I'm scared but...I don't wanna hurt you guys...please, Dot. It's the only way..." he pleaded. Dot pulled Wakko away and looked into his eyes again. She couldn't believe what he had said. But when she looked into his eyes, she didn't see Wakko. She didn't see anything. His eyes were once again blank and unresponcive.

"I'm...so tired..." he whispered, growing heavier in Dot's arms. Soon he became too heavy for her to hold, and he slumped to the ground, motionless.

"Noo! Wakko! Wakko!" Dot cired out, trying desprately to wake her brother. But something deep inside her told her he wasn't going to wake up this time.
