Escapee Wolf

A/N: I'm thinking about making a new story, but I got other unfinished stories. I don't feel like my other two are going anywhere, not the "Don't Say Goodbye" one because it already has an ending… just a crappy beginning. It's kind of hard to believe my readers liked the old version better, eh. But it's already changed so might as well finish it. Yah, so I might delete the other two until I can find a suitable ending for it.

Chapter 3: They Say Third Time's the Charm

Sakura growled as the truck hit yet another bump on the road. "Alright, whoever made this road has really bad nerves! How can you not pave the street? Ever heard of no bumps?" Sighing she rested her head on her arms. "How can you guys stand riding in this stupid truck anyway? It's so cramped and smelly." Some just looked at her and scratched the wiring in response while the others just had a dazed look. Sensing the trucks stop she scrambled to the back and covered herself with one of the cages blankets.

Looking at whose animal cage she chose she mentally groaned. Out of all the other ones she had chosen the wolf's. She glared at it and it just slid its middle claw out (1). She gaped. Her eyes turned into slits and then hissed at him. "You wanna try that again pretty boy? Just watch, I'll shave your fur off and hang you on one of the trees by the edge of the woods." It just smirked at her.

Outside she could hear Mitch screaming about how one of the men should have stayed back to watch her because she escaped. A few minutes later the truck opened and the weary men began lifting the cages out. Suddenly they lifted Syaoran's cage and the blanket slid off of her. The man's eyes widened and called "Mitch! There's a stowaway!" She kicked the man who then lost his balance and dropped the cage. She tried to run for it but Mitch grabbed her wrist. "You're not going anywhere missy."

Meanwhile as the fall broke the cage Syaoran burst out and ran aiming for Mitch's hand and bit it, releasing his hold on Sakura who broke away and ran. "Ow! You son of a…" He knew that if he didn't let go he'd be caught but in his wolf form he wouldn't be able to let go. So he turned into his human form and ran off in the same direction as Sakura. The men were shocked at the sight of a werewolf (2). Mitch who was the first to recover yelled at his men to capture them.

Syaoran who was running for his life easily caught up to Sakura and began dragging her along to run faster. Sakura thinking it was one of the men screeched to a stop and dragged her fist back to punch him in the face. He sensed it and caught her fist. "What do you think you're doing? I'm friend, not foe, stupid. Move."

"There they are!" One shouted and the whole pack began running at them. "Go, go, go!" A panicked Syaoran picked up a slightly shocked Sakura bridle-style and began running. "This can't be good for me."


Scene break. BLAH!

He dropped her unceremoniously onto the ground. They were quarter way to his home village. "You could have run instead of being a freaking deadweight! You know, you're not exactly light as a feather! Try more like a ton! You want to try picking me up?"

"Yah well you didn't have to pick me up and outrun them in 3 miles, then walk the other 2! I could have walked you know!" Sakura glared at him and sat next to the tree. "And risk being captured another time? Forget it!" He crossed his arms and leaned on the same tree.

"I still haven't saved the other animals!" He looked at her like she grew another head. "You know what? You're so freaking unthankful. I saved you butt back there!"

"After I saved yours!" She stood up and began walking back. "You know what? Forget that this whole thing happened. I was never here. You never met me and I never met a selfish brat like you. I'm going back to save them."

He growled at being called a selfish brat. "I'm not selfish and I'm not a brat." She stopped and turned around. "Then what does that make you? A loser?"

"Fine I'll show you I'm not any of those things. Bring it on."

"Then bring it."


Sorry another scene change

Syaoran was silently groaning. He never realized that he ran this far and that he'd be this tried. He wasn't only tried but he hadn't eaten for days. The bland muck that they called food was not food. It was slightly brown, a little green, it smelled, and it tasted horrible. It completely destroyed his appetite and right now he would have killed for real food. "Hey stop complaining you whiner."

He drilled imaginary holes into the back of the girl's forehead. Then he mumbled, "You try not eating for 8 days." Sakura crouched down and gently pulled the leaves away. "They're right there." She whispered and began crawling stealthily towards the cages. He followed suit and they began unlocking cages, Sakura with a small knife and Syaoran with one of his claws. Slowly all the animals moved quietly into the wild bushes and soon all were gone. Their job finished they escaped like the others.

"They've disappeared! Search for the animals!" Sakura and Syaoran heard this and broke into a run. "I see the girl and wolf again!" The men prepared this time shot Syaoran in the neck with a tranquilizer dart. Sakura ran back to grab Syaoran and threw him over her shoulder. 'Where to hide?' she thought. 'Ah hah!' She ran towards the cave and waited in it as the others ran by.

In my story

(1)middle claw : equivalent to human middle finger

(2)werewolf: legend, a human bitten by another werewolf supposedly turns into one under the moonlight of the full moon I think it was. But Syaoran's not a werewolf, he's just a wolf of a clan that has acquired a human form after a time. Defense mechanism –laughs- Anyway, this will be later explained by Syaoran in the next chapter, about this "DIFFERENCE".
