- Chapter 2 -
Our history and blood.
A lean, silver wolf ran through the forest as he quietly hid behind a large oak tree. Moving his head around the corner slowly, he looked to see if he was still being followed. He let out his breath slowly in a sigh of relief and closed his eyes. Adjusting his headset a voice came blaring at him. "YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO MEET US AT H.Q AN HOUR AGO, DRAKE. WHERE ARE YOU?!" A female voice yelled through the headset at him.
"I was attacked by that plush toy of a wolf again, Storm. Had to deal with his puppy warriors." Drake replied into the headset, smiling and opening his sky blue eyes to see wolves advancing on him. "I'll be right there, Storm. Need to put these puppies to sleep." Drake said, wearing a cocky smile and closed his eyes again. The wolves came closer towards him, snarling and growling menacingly at him.
"Where is dear old Charles? I would love him to see me taking down his so-called 'best fighters'. Drake chuckled at the wolves and bit one square in the chest as it lunged at him.
"Surrender now and you won't get hurt." One of the wolves snarled at him.
"Heh… Now where is the fun in that?" Drake asked mockingly, jumped into the oak tree and tried to avoid being shot by two of the wolves in their human forms.
"Cowards, you are really that pathetic to use guns instead of fangs? You have no pride in yourselves." Drake snarled out at the two wolves and threw another wolf to the ground as it jumped into the tree.
"Do you have a brain or are you just brawn?! Use the device that Wayne gave you!" Storm shouted out through the headset at Drake in a highly annoyed tone.
"Alright, alright. Cool your tail off." Drake laughed and pulled an electrocution device out. Jumping out the tree, he smiled mockingly at the growling wolves and waved at them.
"I'm giving you till the count of three to run away while you can before I press this red button. This button will electrocute you all to death." Drake explained in a cheesy voice and the wolves stopped snarling and cocked their heads.
"One…" Drake started the countdown, and then out of now where I jumped from behind him and snarled at these other wolves. The other wolves randomly began to run off and a few seconds later, dust flew around everywhere and the wolves were gone. As the dust settled, Drake's jaw dropped as he stared at the beautiful black wolf in front of him. "Looks like I didn't have to press the button after all, you scared them away all on your own." Drake directed to me in awe. I didn't turn around, but growling could be heard coming from my muzzle. Suddenly I turned around and snapped at his neck viciously. Drake dodged and looked taken back as I vanished into the darkness of the night.
"Gramps will kill you wolves off, so I suggest you leave now." I snarled into the wolf's ear. He jumped back in shock; he didn't even hear me approach. I began to walk away when he was now human and stood in front of me. He wore a pair of jeans, a black punk jacket and a black top underneath the jacket. He had pale skin, sky blue eyes and had silver, spiky hair. He also had a device by his ear. It was a headset. I stumbled back and looked around for the he-wolf, but he was gone.
"Who are you looking for?" The human asked with a puzzled look. I walked up to the human, tail wagging and licked the man's hand. But then I smelt wolf on him. He laughed at my face and clutched his side as he laughed.
"What's so funny?" I growled at him and backed away slowly.
"The look on your face was priceless. Like really! You act like a dog!" Drake laughed hard and a voice was shouting at him through his headset. He ignored the shouting and carried on laughing.
"I-I am a dog, not a wolf." I stammered and my eyes widened as the human, right before my eyes, turned into the arrogant male wolf from before. He stopped laughing and started shaking his head at me.
"Tsk, tsk tsk. The little she-wolf doesn't even know what she is. Listen, sunshine you are a wolf. Don't degrade yourself to a simple dog form." He told me, as he looked at me kindly. I looked down and thought about the option of being a wolf.
'This guy is a total nutter, a crack-jack too. It's all written in his face. But maybe he is right… Maybe I am a wolf, it is possible too and after all, this is the forest where Gramps found me… Oh what is Gramps gana' say?!' I thought desperately and then looked up at the he-wolf.
"Who are you and why are you in the forest?" I asked him sternly and locked my eyes with his.
"DRAKE, DANG IT, WHERE ARE YOU?! DON'T MAKE ME SET A SEARCH PARTY ON YOU!" Storm shouted at him and the male wolf's eyes shut as a loud 'BANG' echoed through his ears of a door being slammed.
"The names Drake Wilde and I am the leader of a large pack, a group if you want to call it, called Hell Hounds. We are searching for Paradise and I should be getting back to H.Q now." He replied and looked at me once again. "And just who are you?" He asked sheepishly and approached me.
"My names Gypsy and what is Paradise?" I asked silently and as I spoke the word 'Paradise' a wonderful feeling spread through my body.
"You really have been living your life as a house pet, eh, Gypsy? No matter, I will make you and mould you into what you really are. Paradise is what every wolf, no matter what personality, gender or age, tries to find. Paradise is the new world. Paradise is a world without poverty, humans, pollution or destruction. Paradise is heaven…" Drake finished off proudly and his stance looked… WOW! I looked at Drake and I feeling came to me. I must be a wolf because I now wanted to find Paradise and go with him.
Chapter break:
(Gypsy) Hello there folks! I am sure you are all wondering if I am going to leave Gramps and go with the he-wolf of my dreams, yes?
(Drake) Pssssh, of course you are. Just look at me! ~Flexes muscles~
(Gypsy) ~Pushes Drake over and rolls my eyes~ Well if some of you are, then you will just have to read on and see if I do or do not leave him!
(Drake) ~Falls to the ground and stays there, but is now reading something.~ Hey! Why must I be kind to her in the next scene? Somebody fix this script! This scene isn't suiting my bad boy, wolfiness'! ~starts ripping script up with my fangs~
(Gypsy) ~Shakes head and pins Drake to the ground~ Amber worked her arse off on our script. Say sorry now, Drake!
(Drake) Ya, ya she-wolf, Gypsy character. ~Makes puppy dog eyes and pushes the she-wolf off me~ I'm sorry Lady Amber.
(Gypsy) ~Chases Drake, eyes flaming as movie equipment falls to the ground as I chase him~
(Drake) That's all we have time for today. On with the story! ~Starts running away from Gypsy~
End of chapter break.
"Paradise…" I said slowly and then tried picturing the new world and how it would be to live there. Drake observed me and then started walking away shortly after.
"Where are going?!" I shouted and ran after him.
"To H.Q, I told you I had to go." He answered and disappeared into the night.
"Wait! Can I come with you?" I shouted to him and heard him stop in his tracks.
"Do you really want to give up your old life for something you have just found? That seems a bit strange and selfish." He replied. I looked at the ground and remembered all the good times I had with Gramps. It was selfish that I wanted to leave him for my personal gain, but I am a wolf now…
'How will he take it when he finds that out?' I thought and fixed my mind on what I wanted to do.
"Well?" Drake questioned impatiently.
"Yes, I want to start over, Drake. All my life I have been living as a house-dog and all my life I knew I was something much greater. You opened the doors of my mind and I want to be a real wolf. Gramps has given me the best years of my life, but if I go with you, I can realize my true potential! Is that really selfish of me?" I asked silently and prepared to hear 'yes' coming out of Drake's mouth.
"Fair enough. Lets rock and roll!" Drake commanded in a general voice and started walking away again. I ran up to him and suddenly stopped. A voice echoed through the night, and it sounded in vain and very worried.
"GYPSY! WHERE ARE YOU GIRL? DANGIT LEAVE THAT CRITTER ALONE AND COME HOME!" Gramps called to me in the distance. I didn't turn around, but faced Drake and whimpered. A tear trickled down my black furred chin and I whipped it away.
"I'm sorry, Gramps…" I whispered and then looked ready to move. "Let's go." I said uneasily and then we began to run through the forest, not realizing Gramps saw me run away with Drake into the night. And that is when Gramps vowed he would find me and bring me home once again… Even if it meant killing every wolf in sight...
Hard choice Gypsy made there... I wonder if I shouldn't spice things up a little and bring the old wolf's rain cast back? Hmmm... We will just have to see then, won't we? ~Giggles evilly~ But I do hope my readers enjoyed this chapter! I spent 6 hours on it! But it was wroth it. Any way... Until the next chapter everyone. =)
Love lady Amber
