Chapter ten: Sneaky, Sneaky!

'Hey guys! It's Toby and Ahan! They're back! Quick Calax, call for Lea! This is gonna be great!' a random absol commanded. Soon, a pack that probably consist of 12 absols zigged and zagged everywhere, trying to find the one by the nickname of Lea. But she was nowhere to be found...

----------------------Somewhere----------------------

'Hurry up, Dian! We need to hunt down those two annoying plusle and minun for dad! We need to prove that we are actually strong enough to hunt with them!' a young eevee cried to her young friend.

'Okay, okay! I am trying to run faster, and catch up to you!' the little growlithe cried back.Then the growlithe stopped at it's pace,'hey, wait a second! I see smoke coming from that boulder up there...but it's not me! Come on, Lea! Look!'

The eevee, now identified as Lea, stopped on it's tracks too. It looked up curiously, and saw what the growlithe saw.'How can a boulder blow smoke? Hey Dian, do you want to investigate with me? Something's up...'

Then they both trotted towards the boulder, which was on a cliff, and then Lea stopped. 'Wait a minute...isn't this the houndoom headquarter? We aren't allowed in there, but I can bend the rules a bit...can I?' the eevee gave a sly wink.

'Uh, I think we can. Then let's go, shall we?'

-----------------In the houdoom headquarter--------------

Slowly, and quietly, Lea and her friend Dian walked slowly towards the area where the houndooms are disscussing a few things...

Since Lea has bigger ears than Dian, she could hear what they were talking about, and with each word, a worried look on her face developed.

The meeting went like; 'okay...any plans on the destruction of the absol pack?'

'Nope, well, not yet though.'

'I have a few plans!' one cried out, waving it's paw wildly.

'Then what is it?'

'Why don't we try and ambush them, but at the morning when they are quite off guard-'

'Like you every morning?'

'NO! I am not groggy in the morning!'

'Okay, whatever, on with the rest of your plan then.'

'Okay... here's the rest...'

But little did they know, Lea and Dian had heard everything. 'We need to get out of here, and tell the pack about what's going to happen!' Lea whispered in a scared voice.

'Okay, on the count of three...run. One...two...three...RUN!' the growlithe whispered, and then ran with Lea out of the place.

------------------------At the pack---------------------

'I can't find Lea anywhere!' an absol member cried, looking frantic and bewildered.

'Hey! There she is!' another absol cried out, pointing it's paw at Lea, and Dian,'and she has brought a guest!'

'Guys! I need to tell you guys something...something terrible!' Lea started, but no one listened. They all ignored her, and got prepared to look their greatest in the presense on their pack leader.

'LEA! Get ready for your father's welcoming, you don't want to be disgraceful. Just look at how dirty you are!'

BUt at that very moment, Toby entered inside, looking messy and bloodily tattered. As soon as her saw Lea, he manage to make a small smile on his face...
