Chapter 7

The next thing I heard was a gunshot, and a crash. When I looked up from my temporary blindness, I had a whole bunch of honey brown hair in my face and a pair of silvery blue eyes filled with concern were a bit too close to my face.

"Myra, are you okay?"

"Um, yeah," I looked out from underneath him. My brother was currently holding a human down with his paw and snarling at him.

"Hey, Ayden, could you possibly help me up?" He looked down and had a small blush on his face, "Sorry," he smiled at me.

"S'all right, my brother might be a bit mad though."

'He saved you from a bullet, I'm fine with it.'

I laughed, causing them both to look at me, but I shook my head. I turned to look at my attacker, "And you are?" I asked him with a certain steely edge to my voice. He shivered at the cold threat my words held, and I smirked, showing a couple of my razor sharp lupine teeth.

"Mythical creature hunter, I work for a zoo, there's rumors about you wolf twins and I was sent to find you."

I did another split second phase and snarled at him. His eyes widened in fear and recognition of the fact that we were wolf twins. Then he seemed to notice our eyes.

"You're half soulless?"

Ayden answered for us since we didn't seem like we were about to phase back any time soon "Yes, since they're twins you only need one of them to get half of each of their souls, but you need to get the other to get their entire souls."

I walked over to my brother and the hunter; I licked his face then howled.

'Terry, go get dad.'

'What about the hunter?'

I picked up his gun and dropped it by Ayden's feet; he gave me a small pat on the head. 'He's not going ANYWHERE.'

I trotted back over put my forepaws on the hunter and snarled. My brother whimpered and ran upstairs to fetch Darien.

"So, why does the zoo want them?" Ayden asked, I looked at him he was walking towards us and his eyes looked like they were about to murder someone.

"You should know, you were there, you and your group escaped though."

I looked at Ayden and decided to try and add him into my telepathic link, which worked surprisingly. 'You were at the zoo?'

He was shocked at my voice in his head but then he replied, 'Yes, and it's not a place I want you or your brother anywhere near.'

'Why, was it really that bad?' We heard Terran's voice and looked over to see him and Darien standing at the bottom of the stairwell.

'Oh, and My, good job adding him in, now we can easily call him if we need help.'

Darien walked over to me and the hunter that I kept prisoner.

"You know, you have a high price on your head, Minaku."

"Please don't turn me in; I don't want to go back to the zoo."

My brother and I phased back, "Why don't you want to go back to your masters and why should we believe you won't try and harm us?" We said it simultaneously with the same amount of threat in our voices.

"They treat me like an animal, when I don't do well they beat me and I get very little food, what I do get is of very poor quality and is often rotten."

'Terry, I know you're going to scold me for being weak,'

'But you take pity on this man as well?'

'Terran Kain Wing, are you saying you actually pity someone?'

'Yes, is there something wrong with that?'

'Oh Selene, what has the world come to?'

'Hey My, why'd you use the moon goddess name, you only do that when your about to say oh my god.'

I shook my head and laughed at my brother, then walked over to Ayden.

"Were you listening to us bicker?"

He laughed, "Yes, and I must say it was quite amusing."

Terran walked over muttering about troublesome sisters that have telepathic links with their brother. Ayden and I laughed and the three of us went over to Darien.

"Well, he will be our new janitor."

"WHAT?!" All three of us screamed.

"I'm very sorry for all the trouble I've caused and I hope that in time you will forgive me."

"I'll go make food." I said in a monotone.

"I'm with you there."

"Id best be heading back to the school, class will be starting again soon."

"See ya Ayden!" We yelled as he sped out the door.
