In the city off to the far East, the warm afternoon sun illuminated through everything in its path. Not much life was shone on the streets. All except for a small wolf dog who was carrying a sack of food in her jaws. She was taking it back to her hideout out where she was staying.
"I see you're stealing from the market. Surely you wouldn't mind letting us have that bag." A brisk male voice said from behind her. The wolf dog turned to look at the voice, her wolf ears raised up all the way. Behind her were four other wolves standing behind her in their wolf forms.
"Oh! You're wolves! I'm-" she began but was cut off by the leader. He growled at her with his wolf fangs bared some. "Shut up. Give us the bag, and you won't see us again. Scout's honor." The leader barked. Two other wolves started surrounding her with dominate growls. The young wolf dog coward in fear by this and she started to whimper. These wolves were in charge.
All of a sudden, their ambush was stopped by a large grey she wolf. She stood in front of the pup like a mother to her child; growling at them deeply with her wolf fangs bared. She guarded the pup, much to the displeasure of the gang.
"Touch her, and I won't hesitate to rip your throat out." The grey she wolf snarled, her wolf fangs bared. Her dominate stature made the gang leader laugh mockingly. "Well, well, well. A high strung bitch! Take 'em out boys!" The gang leader chuckled. The grey she wolf only snarled loudly at the threat before them.
With the two other members beginning their attack, one member was left decided otherwise. He only lowered his wolf head and wolf ears in submission. This didn't go unnoticed. "Raidon, what are you doing? Didn't you hear what the boss said?" The white wolf barked. "This isn't a fair fight. Forget this." The brown wolf, Raidon, replied civilly. He wanted nothing to do with this.
Then, the grey wolf lunged at the white wolf with her wolf fangs bared. She bites down on his wolf head as he yelped at her bite force.
The sound of the yelp drew the attention of the dark red wolf, who jumped at the grey she wolf with his wolf jaws open. The two wolves began to fight. Raidon looks around and realized that this fight was being watched by more than just him.
"Stop it guys! We are drawing the attention of the humans." He said, his
voice hushed. The wolf dog pup took note of the attitude of Raidon. She wondered why he wasn't fighting. But a low growl grabs her attention and she quickly turns to face none other than a light tan wolf baring his wolf fangs at her. He was preparing to attack her.
"W-Willow!" She cried for the grey wolf. But her knight in shining armor wasn't Willow, it was Raidon. He had pinned the tan wolf down with nothing but his wolf paws while giving him a cold stare.
Willow had her wolf head and wolf ears lowered. She stood in a dominating stance to show she wasn't backing down to these cowards in her perceived dominance.
"Attacking a pup shows nothing but cowardice. I've never seen such idiocy from the supposed alpha." Willow growls, keeping her wolf head lowered while keeping her wolf eyes on him. That sent the leader into a fierce rage. The one thing he despised more than anything is being belittled and insulted by a female wolf. Or any wolf really.
"Restrain her! I will finish this bitch off myself." He growled. The other two wolves did what they were told and pinned Willow down to the ground. However, the grey she wolf wasn't backing down so easily.
"Fight me one on one, you chicken shit!" She snarled, showing she wasn't scared of him in anyway. The leader snarled before lunged at her with his wolf fangs bared. "Stop! Don't hurt her please!" The wolf dog cried, sounding panicked.
Then, her plea was answered with a single bullet that whizzed by the leader, stopping him in his tracks. "Holy shit, Dan! Check out the size of these dogs!" A hunter shouted, irritated that he missed the shot. This gave the gang the opportunity to flee from the scene.
The wolf dog came up to Willow, who was still on the ground from the attack. "Willow, we have to go. The humans will kill us if we don't." The wolf dog whispered, leaning towards her. They quickly move out, unaware that they were being followed.
The girls make it back to the hideout in their human forms. They start eating from inside the bag, giving them time to catch their breaths from that fiasco. "I'll say that was eventful. Hopefully we don't run into them again." Willow said in relief. The young wolf dog looks at her companion with a smile. "You said it. At least we're leaving tomorrow." She said.
Willow was about to take another bite but a familiar scent caught her attention. She gets up to follow it. It was coming from the entrance to the hideout. It was coming from the brown wolf, Raidon. He was hiding behind the entrance.
Willow outstretched her arm and pinned Raidon against the wall by his neck. She gave him a deathly stare and growled. "You! You were working with that gang of wolves that attacked us! I should take out your jugular right here and right now!" She snarled. Then, the wolf dog steps in between the two wolves with her arms outstretched.
"Willow don't! He's the one who protected me from those goons." She said. Raidon looked at the grey wolf with a look of sincerity. "I don't want to fight. I just wanted to leave this god forsaken city. Let me come with you." He inquired, his voice calm and quiet. This intrigued the wolf dog and she approached him.
"Sure! The more the merrier. It'll be cool to have another wolf join us on the way to Paradise." She smiled, much to the annoyance of her older companion. Raidon furrowed an eyebrow. He never knew such a place existed. "Isn't that a myth? Why bother going if that is?" He asked, confused on the journey.
"Then, that's a good reason for you to stay." Willow said with a smirk. "Awww…" the wolf dog pouty. Raidon was about to let the so called gang membership that he was apart of hold him back. Taking off his bandana, he said, "I want to go. There's nothing in this city for me anymore."
The wolf dog jumped for joy and put her hands on her friends backs. "This is awesome! We're going to Paradise together. I'm Haven." The wolf dog said happily. All Willow did was pout at the plus one. Raidon introduces himself.
The three stand at the outskirts of the city, the wind hitting their backs and blowing their hair forward. "You going to miss this city?" Haven asked, looking at raidon. "Hell no." He said, letting his bandana go in the wind. "Let's go." Willow said, ready to go.
And with that, all three wolves move out in their wolf forms. They ran on the fresh blanket of snow and left their wolf paw prints behind. Neither of them knows what will happen from there on out. But their journey had just begun. They're on their way to Paradise.
