Chapter 4
Sent of flowers
"NO", ar dam another nightmare, I got sat up and lick my brand, moon that stings and my dam right check was raw, bloody treadmill.
My brand was always the first thing to bring me down, dam humans can't get anything right, can't even mark there stuff properly.
I looked down at my brother, he had done his paws in training, f it was my fault I should have just gone down earlier. His face was pale and tear stricken.
I got up shock all the dust off and stat by the certain and looked out of the hole in the side nothing new, the sun had just started to rise over the human carer. I sniffed the air nothing new there I there, human s and death.
Even throw my nose was useless, the stanch of this cage had numb my nose over the years. Anyway I didn't need a sense of smell I was a fighter all I needed was a good set of fangs, claws, speed and strength.
I looked out at the sunrise again it was beautiful now it was a red sky and the sun was shining of the snow on the carriers and there were no humans around it was peaceful.
"GROW" "hm hungry hu" max said sleepily getting up and rubbing his face.
I wagged my tail a little looking at him he smiled, ye the friendly Max is back I jumped on him, paws on his shoulders being careful not to get him with my claws.
He grab me around the sides and rolled over now pining me to the floor, he was being careful with his hands using his wrists, I wagged my tail licked his face he got off and sat opposite me next to the certain.
Slowly the humans got up and started to go about there biasness feeding the other dog packing stuff up, "we must be going to day" I looked up at max.
Looked at me cheerfully "new place new chances new things to see, I think the gurney is a copal of days drive", I looked down at the floor I hate travelling the get that heavy cane click it to my collar then to the top of the cage and if there is going to be a lot of people were we heading they will lave it on.
"O cheer up eight I got a good felling about this. Anyway at lest ital keep as occupied with all the stuff to look at". He was dancing around the thing I was dreading and looking fallowed to, fight, food and blood.
BANG BANG the certain was pulled open it was Master. "put his leash on strap it to the top of his cage then get in your on bloody cage for once" he barked, he bang the bars of the cage again and walk off to the front of the carrier. Max got up his happy mod seemed a bit deflated now, pick up the chin with a sharp in take of breath the pain from his hands must be unbearable. "Sorry mate" he said gloomily click the cane on the attached it to the top of the cage then got in to his own cage which was right next to mine. "Lucky, he forgot to close your certain" he said with a smile.
Travelling would have been fun if it hadn't been for the bloody roads and the chin.
Max in his cage look alright, one hand holding a bar above his head and his legs pushing the bars posit him so he didn't move around, as for me I could do that so I was sliding all over the place. Ever time the drive braked I would hit one side of the cage with a loud bang, then when he accelerate I would slid back and hit the other side.
Max was watching me, his face was going red from trying not to laughing at me sliding around the place.
We had been driving for days non stop, the scenery out side had change from snowy mountains to woodland and the weather was finely warm I had dug my claws in to the bottom of my cage and the roads had gotten better, so it was quite enjoyable to watching the scenery go by, any thing to keep my mind off my hunger I hadn't eaten for days and it was starting to take its toll.
Packs POV
The sun was low in the sky and Kiba and the others had been at a running and trotting all day.
"We'll spend the night here" Kiba said laying down next to Cheza.
A very tired Toboe sighted in relief, at his words and sate down in human form with his legs crossed in front of him. Tsuma sate down leaning against a tree with his hands behind his head and shut his eyes, Higa lade down next to Toboe his hands behind his head.
"GROW" they all looked at Hige automat, Higa sat up hand on his stomach and smiled sheepishly "ha we haven't eaten for a wile".
The wind change direction and Higa sniffed the air, his eyes went wide in shock "I haven't smelled that in a long time".
Toboe looked at him concern on his face "what's the mater Higa", "I smell deer"
Higa said sniffing the air again, Toboes face light up in excitement he had never tasted fresh deer before. Tsuma got up "are you shore it's a deer the last time we trusted you nose you ended up in a cage" he said coking a eye brow.
Higa closed his eyes and sniffed the air again "ye I'm shore" he said ignoring what Tsuma had said.
Kiba got up "Toboe stay here with Cheza well go out and hunt". Toboes face fell "I've never been on a hunt before could I go to" Tsume rolled his eyes at Kiba.
Kiba just smiled at Toboe "sore ill stay with Cheza, you can go with Hige and Tsuma"
"Rely you mean it" Toboe said looking ecstatic.
"Just don't give us away runt when the deer charges you" Higa said ruffling Toboes hair. Toboe frowned at him.
Tsuma rolled his and look back at kiba "so I haft to baby site you owe me for this" kiba just looked at him and smiled.
Higa and Tsuma were in front and Toboe was at the back they had finely got near were the smell was coming from. Higa and Tsuma were slowly walking low to the grown with there ears flat on the back of there heads, Toboe was coping there movements.
Suddenly Toboe sore a rabbit out of the corner of his eye and stated to ward it head low ears back forgetting he was supposed to be following the others.
Higa and Tsuma stop they could see the deer. It was a male with large antlers grazing by its self. "Right Toboe when we leap at this thing I what you to, where's he gone" Tsuma whispered with a grow, Higa surged "probably chickened out and went back to Kiba and Cheza"
He said drooling slightly.
They edged followed slowly they were in rang now they looked at each other and nodded. They pounced the deer bolted and they charged after it. The deer was fast but past its prime by the looks of it they were caching up with it Hige on the left Tsuma on the right.
Higa leaped at it biting it in the back of the neck using his body wait to bring it down, the deer fell down on him and knocked all the air out of him but held on waiting for Tsuma to do his thing.
Tsume wasted no time, he dug his fangs down deep into the front of the deer's throat, the deer's neck was too brood to brake so he just bit down into its jugular and suffocated which wasn't an easy feet as the animal sensing the end was giving one last fight, it tossed its head back and dug on of its antlers into Higa's shoulder, Hige yelped and let go.
The deer gave one last shudder then lade there motionless. Tsuma got up and looked at Higa "you all right pokey" he said gruffly "ye I'm fine just a scratch". "Right now we got to drag this thing back to the others" Tsuma grabbed the deer just below its head and stated walking back to the others with Hige behind him.
Toboe stalked his pray he felt like a fully grown wolf, is he cart this thing Hige could no longer call him a runt.
He jumped at the rabbit but it sped away, he tore after it weaving throw the trees, he felt so alive the adrenaline was pumping throw his veins, the rabbit stumbled and fell Toboe grabbed it by the throat and crushed it. He had done it he got his first hunting kill he was so proud, I bet Tsuma will be pleased. He walked back to were Kiba and Cheza were head and tale held high the rabbit swinging in his jaws.
Kiba and Cheza herd the bush rustling and looked up to see Tsuma with a fully grown deer in his jaws. "Where's Toboe" Hige said looking around "I thought he was with you" Kiba said not paying much attention to the conversation he was drooling looking at the deer. Just then Toboe trotted out of the bracken waving his tale with a dead rabbit in his mouth. Higa raised and eye brow his hands on his hips and "were where you"
Toboe looked a little deflated "um hunting I court this all by my self" he said looking down at the dead rabbit. Tsuma growled at Higa "what" Higa said looking confused "we could have done with his help" "he's just made the first his first proper kill and you tell him off ass hole" Tsuma whisper dangerously in Higa's ear.
"Well-done" Toboe Kiba said ruffling the pups ears Tsuma nodded and Cheza smiled at him "sorry mate just hungry well-done" Higa said with a smile.
Toboe beamed wagging his tale. "Well enough chit chat lets tuck in" Higa said mouth drooling.
They all sat there eating happily Toboe finishing his rabbit went on to the assault the deer.
After they had finished and had there full they all sat there warm and full for a change.
"That was the best thing iv ever tasted" Toboe said with a smile "ye its been a long time sins we had a descent meal" Higa said sleepily.
Suddenly Cheza stood up wide eyed, "this one can sense a friend in pain" she ran out of the clearing "Cheza" Kiba yelled and bolted after her. The others look at one another and raced after them.
Cheza ran graceful throw the forest and stop on the edge of a hill, Kiba followed her gazes down the hill. There was a convoy of human trucks there headlights gleaming in the darkness. Tsuma, Higa and Toboe stop behind them looking down at the convoy.
"This one can sense a friend in pain, he is afraid, this one must help him" her voice was shaking. She held her hand on her hart.
Kiba looked up to were the convoy was heading, on the horizon was a town, the lights blinking in the distends.
Triple eights POV
It was dark now, the carrier rattled and shock. I haven't slept in days. Max was asleep don't know how maybe it was from the bang on the head he had resaved when he had finely given up on trying not to at me, a just as he stated to laugh as we went over a particle big bump and he whacked his head on the side of his cage.
I smiled and sniffed the air my dull nose had been triggering, a lovely sent was travelling throw the air and it was growing stronger, if my nose was picking it up it had to be strong. That sent I don't know what it is but its beautiful. It reminded me of a smell I had long forgotten, the sent of flowers. I looked out of the cage I could just see the humans settlement we where heading for.
The smell suddenly became a lot stronger. I closed my eyes and inhaled slowly, moon it was heaven. I opened my eyes there was a human girl in pink with ruby red eyes and a pack of wolves standing around her. That was were the smell was coming from that strange girl. I tried to move followed to see better but my collar and chain stop me from moving any fever I blinked and we had speed past them. NO the smell stated to die NO I yanked at the chin trying to see better. Max stated up rubbing his head "what's up mate" he looked at me warred.
I yanked at the cane again rearing onto my hind legs my collar supporting me, my front paw brushed the front of the bars, pain! all my hair stood up on end as the collar punished me for touching the front of the cage, I fell back hitting the floor "eight what the hell gotten in to you" max yelled, he put a hand throw the bars of the cage and pulled me closer to him, stroking me "don't worry mate weal get out of here one day".
