Second chapter I've written within two days. It's like a miracle. I don't normally have this much time. Well anyways, here ya have it, 7th chapter.

P.S. Sorry if it's hard to figure out when they're in human and wolf forms. I keep forgetting to put that in. They're in human form at the beginning, and when they dodge past the panthers, they're in wolf form the rest of the way. Ok, that should cover it. On with the chapter!


"Poisons?" Jagger asked, standing his ground against the panther demon leader. "Is that what you killed our pack with?"

"No, but good idea though," Yuvinar sneered. "These poisons simply paralyze your powers, so now you're totally weak."

"That's pathetic. Making your prey helpless. You're weaker than I thought!" Jagger spat.

"What do you thihnk you're doing?" I whispered to Jagger. "We need to get out of here!"

Yuvinar interrupted with, "So, what are you going to do?"

Jagger then turned to me, "Rayna, run, I'll hold them off."

"Are you kidding me?" I asked, giving Jagger a you've-got-to-be-insane look.

"Of course not, I want you to get killed!" Jagger rounded on me sarcastically. "Now get out of here before any more panthers show!"

I nodded reluctantatly, looked back at my brother, and turned to leave only to face another panther demon, who was staring me down unnervingly.

I bolted past the demon and looked back to see if Jagger was following. He was darting past three other demons in the opposite direction. A couple of panthers were beginning to follow after both me and him, but were called off by their leader. "Don't waste your energy on them. They won't make it without their powers. They'll die for sure, while we'll reap the benefits of their lands."

I hadn't looked back for hours and had kept running. I had occasionally caled out for Jagger, but still I had no reply. I figured he would of turned around and come back for me, all the while avoiding the panther demon clan. I had not smelt or heard any trace of my brother for those long, discontent hours, and it was beginning to scare me.

Sleep was restless for me, at times it didn't come at all. I kept awaking within ten minutes prior to falling asleep thinking that I heard Jagger calling for me. It was most always my imagination, or another animal nearby making noise. Not finding any rest in sleep for my tired mind, I began my travels again.

Many hours and several miles later, I came upon a human village of which I had never seen before. As I sat against a tree, which sat upon a hill overlooking the village, I became aware of a thrashing noise nearby. Out of natural curiousity, I went to investigate. As I poked my head out from behind a tree, I found Jagger, caught in a human's trap by his leg and was hanging upside down from a tree.

"Jagger!" I screamed out excitedly upon finding him. He looked down at me, fear shining in his bright gold wolf eyes. Suddenly, he gasped at looked over at the area behind me. He bagan to yell at me again, "Don't worry about me, get out of here! Run!"

Before I could reply, two humans burst out from the brush. These two male humans were laughing amongst themselves and heading straight for the trap Jagger was caught in.

"Well, look at what we've got here!" the taller one of the two exclaimed. I had retreated into the safety of the forest, but kept my eyes on the men. I was afraid to lose the last living relative and friend I had to a couple of greedy humans. If they were to pull out their guns at Jagger, I was to attack; I was poised for the attack.

"What should we do with it?" The other man asked.

"Hey, I know. What if we use it as a working dog?"

"Yeah, it still looks like it's young. Maybe we can tame it."

'Tame Jagger? Good luck with that!' I thought.

Jagger snapped at the mans hand as he reached up to get him down. "You sure we can tame this one?"

"Yeah, I've tamed wilder ones than that," the shorter man reassured his friend.

Upon wrapping a rope around his neck, the men cut Jagger free of his prison. They dragged the reluctant wolf pup toward the human village. Jagger saw me atart coming after him and yipped at me, "Don't let them get you, too!"


I wrote the 8th chapter already, but it might be tomorrow when I put it up. I still need to type it up so review this chapter please so I know what to change and put in.
