Escapee Wolf
Disclaimer: Ok this is the last disclaimer that I'm doing. CCS is not mine so for all the other chapters in this story this goes in effect for all chapters.
Author's Note: It's been a long time since I've done the first chapter. So I'm aiming to make it 8 chapters. So it's going to have everything just a little more compressed but it's got everything in it. Please read and review!
Chapter 2: Twice captured
Fingering the sharp arrowhead stuck on one of the trees she grunted. "Poachers again. Hmph. They never learn. Don't they ever know I'll always set their captured free? Poor tree…" She started to look around for any cages. Then she spotted something behind the bushes. She cut away the branches blocking her and gently pushed away the spider webbed bush branches and stared at the animal in front of her. The animal stared back at her. Then it blinked and then started growling glaring at her.
"Shut it you little piece of shit. I'm getting you out of here. You don't want both of us to die do you?" It seemed to understand what she said and stopped growling at her but still glared at her. Then she picked the lock on the cage and carefully opened the door so it wouldn't squeak. Then she moved on to the other cages behind it and opened those too. She was well aware that the first animal she released was eyeing her cautiously and watched her every move. As she was working on the last cage someone placed a knife to her neck.
"Now I suggest you drop the knife and be a good little girl." He whispered into her ears and turned her around to everyone else. "See this pretty little face here? This pretty little face won't be pretty anymore. Now everyone be good little boys and girls and go back into your cages." They just stared at him for a while until the man kept pressing the knife harder and harder on her neck until it drew blood.
Some whimpering at the sight, all understood that if they didn't go back in the girl would be killed and possibly another who refuses. Hesitantly, they all retreated except for the wolf. It raised its eyes from the girl to meet those of the man. Then it took a step forward and then another, advancing as the man backed slowly into the safety of his group. "Boys," he said pausing, "Take him down."
The 4 men nodded and slowly moved. One unattached a muzzle as the others prepared to capture it. Once they moved within 3 ft. radius, the wolf attacked the nearest one, slashing part of the arm and torso area. The 2 ran to get the wolf as the other helped see if the man was ok. "What are you doing? Catch the damned wolf!" the leader barked at two.
The hurt one growled at him before tackling the wolf to the ground and Tachi struggled to hold him down as Jiro tried to hold Syaoran's jaws closed. Satoshi slipped the muzzled over and fastened it. Then he forcefully dragged the animal to its cage and threw it in.
The leader satisfied with the day's work told the others to load the animals into the truck and lock it up. The man turning back to the girl who he had now tied to one of the trees looked her up and down while pacing and then stopped in front of her. He lifted her chin up to take a good look at her face. "So this is the girl everyone is talking about, the savior of the animals, the only one who hasn't been captured, till now. You would give me a great deal of money just handing your pretty head to those who you stole from." Sakura angered spit in his face.
"For your information, that's not called stealing! I'm releasing those you've kidnapped. Poaching isn't allowed in this area!" she yelled angrily. Mitch chuckled a little and wiped the spit off his face and onto his shorts. "Is that so? Well then, Miss…"
She glared a little and spat out "Like I'm going to tell you? I wouldn't be a very good fugitive now according to your people, would I?" She cocked her head a little smirking before she was slapped. "Mitch! It's been loaded!" Turning to the source of the voice he looked back.
"You're a very lucky girl today, but only for a few moments. It seems I have some, let's say unfinished checking to do." He whispered before walking through the bushes, "Be a good little girl now will you?" Then he did a little wave without turning back and completely disappeared in the woods.
She listened carefully for Mitch's booming voice. She could clearly hear him yelling at the men in a foreign language unknown to her. Sighing in relief, she carefully flicked out a small knife hidden next to her right wrist and began cutting the rope. After that was done she reached down and cut the rope tying her legs together. She looked left and right then carefully eased her way around the bushes to get to the truck.
Mitch sighed and was beginning to feel frustrated. "Ok. You know what? Just leave it at that and drive to the nearest poacher city which is up north. Can't miss it, all you have to do is exit off the ramp a little after you see this old pub called Akai. If you miss it, you men are the stupidest bunch ever. Make sure you hide the truck in the trees next to the pub and then stay at the pub, trying to find more information. I'm going back to get the girl. Just go and drive. I'll catch up later." He threw them the keys and walked back. Perfect, she thought. Then she climbed into the truck when no one was looking.
