*Novi's POV*
"ALCON!" I roared. "WHAT HAPPENED TO MY LOCKET?!"
Alcon stared at me, a puzzled look on his face.
"What, do you think I stole it from you?"
"YES, YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO PULLS THIS PRANK ON ME!"
"Novi, calm down," He said as he switched the T.V. off. "Where did you last have it?"
I took a deep breath in, and slowly breathed out.
"I always have it on, I'd never let it out of my sight." I said.
Alcon placed a hand on my shoulder.
"Come on," He said as he looked into my eyes. "Let's go find it."
*Pendulum's POV*
/I wonder what this is,/ I thought as I observed the silvery-colored necklace, and then found a small button on one of the sides of it, then, out of curiosity, I pushed the button to reveal a picture of what seemed to be a picture of a married couple. The lady had long ebony hair, fair skin, and deep black eyes that almost resembled the sky that I was looking at, and the man's face was cut out, which I thought was a little odd.
"Pen, time to go to sleep." Kitsune said as I quickly hid the locket under my pillow, and quickly turned my attention to her.
"Yes, miss Okami."
"Just call me Kit."
"Alright, goodnight, Kit." I said as I turned the light off.
*The next day...* [Kit's POV]
"Pen, time to wake up." I said as I opened the door to his room, only to reveal a empty, messed up bed.
Worry started to ride in my heart as I looked around the room, searching for Pendulum.
He wasn't there.
/Pendulum,/ I thought as tears pooled in my eyes. But then, my nose caught a scent.
/Maybe this leads to the kidnapper,/ I thought as I shifted into my wolf form and set off to find Pedulum.
*Pendulum's POV* [Somewhere else]
"Please," I begged as I hid in a corner, my vision slightly blurred by tears of fear. "Take me back to Kitsune."
"We can't." Novi said as she walked towards me.
"Why not?"
"Because you need to know the truth." Alcon said as he followed Novi.
"What do you mean 'the truth'?" I asked as Novi's dark blue eyes changed into eyes that seemed to have stars in them.
"You'll find out soon." Novi said as Alcon's eyes shifted to a ruby-red color.
*Meanwhile...* [Kit's POV]
/Pendulum, where are you?/ I thought as I sniffed around the forest I was in, trying to track his scent.
"Kitsune? Is that really you?" An all-too-familiar voice asked.
"Why, who are you?" I asked as I prepared myself to attack, just in case it wasn't him.
Suddenly, a black wolf lunged at me, causing me to trip, and head face-first into the trunk of a tree. And at that moment, I knew who it was.
"Ow, Sasuke," I said as I rubbed my head with my paw. "Why did you have to scare me like that?"
"Because, I wanted to make sure it was you." He explained as he shifted into his human form, his ears peeking out from his head.
"Alright, I guess I can believe that," I said as I changed into my human form. "By the way, have you seen a little kid around here? Red and green eyes, dark red and red hair?"
He shook his head.
"Oh," I said as my ears drooped, and also my heart.
"Why? was he your friend or something?" He asked with a concerned look in his eyes.
I nodded.
"He was kidnapped last night, and I was following the scent, but then, I found you." I told him.
"Would you like some help?" He asked.
"Really? you want to help me?" I asked as he nodded.
"After all, you're the only family I have left, and leaders of the pack should always help the others in their time of need." He said as we hugged.
"Alright," I said as I wiped the tears from my cheeks. "Let's go find him."
