Time flew by for the two wolves and the fox. Kitsun stuck by Trella and Silver most of the time and they decided that although she was flighty she was no danger and Trella elected to let Kitsun use her real name. Every so often Kitsun would disappear for days at a time. But she always came back. Silver showed Trella how to live in the city, how to steal, dig through trash cans and pick out some food. Trella thought it was disgusting but the trash made up most of their meals and it was safer then stealing. He also pointed out gangs signs, and how to know when you were in another's wolfs territory.
Trella kept her promise to teach Silver to fight. Mostly she would just attack Silver and Silver found his own way to fend her off. Kitsun found these matches fascinating. After a while she would also attack Silver getting him use to having more than one opponent.
The fallen building became their home. They were safe there. No one bothered them. Although Silver still couldn't remember his past he tried not to let it get him down. Sometimes he would just say something random then would get frustrated when he couldn't remember more. Kitsun learned of this during the beginning when he was playfully flirting with her. Trella had growled "you are such a tease." And Silver replied "at least I'm not as bad a Hige." When Kitsun asked who Hige was his good mood fell and he walked outside without answering and spent the night staring up at the sky. Kitsun fretted worrying if she had done something wrong. Trella took pity on her and explained the situation.
A few days ago Silver announced there was going to be a full moon soon and he didn't want to spend it in the city. Trella jumped at the chance for some real meat. Kitsun was ecstatic saying "I always heard full moons were special to wolves, now I can finally see why!" so they headed out of the city and found an open field and stayed there waiting for the night of the full moon.
Silver went on with the hunting lessons. And once again she failed to catch a single thing. Her mood was foul about the fact she was the only one who hadn't caught anything. Silver after a few attempts had gotten two rabbits and a few squirrels even Kitsun had killed a robin and ate its eggs. Trella was just about to give up for the night when a small rabbit darted across her path. She jumped at it expecting her jaws to snap up only air. Instead her mouth was full of fur. The rabbit hung limp in her jaws. Trella pranced back to their den.
Silver and Kitsun cheered when they saw her prize. She kept the rabbit with her all evening not even nibbling on it. Kitsun and Silver teased her relentlessly. Finally she had enough and went to the nearby stream for water. The water was clean and refreshing. Trella couldn't get enough of it. The midday sun warmed the water and it was impossible to resist washing the city's grime off her she plunged into the cool water after placing the rabbit high on the bank.
Something broke through the brush startling Trella causing her to lose her footing slipping underwater. When she righted herself and looked around nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Except for a little fuzz ball running back into the tree line and it had HER rabbit in its mouth! She had worked hard all day for that rabbit and ain't no way was some fuzz ball going to take it away! The water broke around her as she tore after what was stealing HER rabbit.
Pack P.O.V.
They had been searching for weeks now for Toboe and still no sign of him. This was the third city. "Any luck?" Kiba asked Tsume as he walked to their designated meeting spot. He growled in response. He had been doing that even more than normal since Toboe disappeared. Kiba turned to Hige. "And you?"
"None whatsoever, it's like the Runt fell off the face of the planet." Hige sighed, "How hard can it be to fine one trouble magnet of a runt?"
"You boys look down!" A familiar black wolf with blue eyes jumped down from her perch. "What's got you so low?"
"Hey Blue!" Hige was the only one of them whose mood brightened at the sight of the half wolf.
Blue looked over the male wolves, the three wolves. "Hey where's Toboe?"
"That's what we'd like to know!" Tsume snarled.
"He disappeared weeks ago and there was a storm right after that washed away his trail." Kiba explained. "It's been nearly two months with no sign of him."
"Would it help if I kept an eye out for him while I travel?" Blue said after a while.
"Why would we want help for the likes of you?" Tsume asked harshly.
Kiba and Hige pushed him away and Hige said pleasantly, "Ignore him he's irritable right now."
While Kiba calmly accepted her help with a, "If you don't mind doing us the favor."
Blue left them and headed west to look for the young red wolf while Tsume and Hige argued. The arguing turned into a fight which Kiba had a difficult time braking up. After Tsume feel asleep Hige limped over to Kiba and whispered "For the first time I'm hoping to meet up with a hostile pack of wolves so Tsume can stop taking his anger out on me."
Kiba grunted in agreement.
Trella P.O.V.
Trella crashed through the underbrush after the fuzz ball that had taken her rabbit. The fuzz ball, which Trella could now see clearly was a wolf cub, was barely keeping ahead of her. She was about to lunge for the wolf cub when a huge black mass slammed into her. The instinct received from the months in the Pit kicked in and she started fighting the large mass. In only a few minutes the black mass had her pinned to the forest floor. She let loose a howl of outrage. No one had ever beaten her in the Pits and she was NOT going to lose this fight. She had beaten larger dogs then what had her down.
Trella rolled to her feet the reared onto her hind legs taking her opponent be surprise. The opponent landed on his back. He flipped to his feet and was about to charge at her when Silver and Kitsun crashed through the brush stopping in front of him snarling.
"Kindly tell me the reason for attacking my pack mate." Silver inquired through clenched teeth.
The black wolf looked amused, "Are you seriously challenging me runt?" glistening yellow eyes bore into him.
"I'd rather not fight you if it can be avoided but I will not hesitate to do so if I deem necessary."
"The she-wolf was attacking my sister." The black wolf sat calmly very sure that he could take these three if they attacked.
"That fuzz ball you call a sister stole MY RABBIT!"
Kitsun laughed lightly, "You'd better give her the rabbit back. Trella is very possessive of it."
"You won't attack my sister once you have the rabbit right?" he asked Trella. Reviving a nod he called to the undergrowth where the cub hid "Lavender come here and bring the rabbit you took."
The small pup scurried from the brush and sat between her brother's front legs and nuzzled her head into his shaggy fur still holding the rabbit. He took the abused rabbit carcass and tossed it at Trella's feet. The pup whined and poked her brother's snout.
"Is she hungry?" Kitsun asked referring to the cub.
"If she was hungry she would have eaten this by now." Trella glared.
"Lav can't eat raw meat yet." The black wolf lowered his head ready to protect his sister at any cost from the she-wolf.
Silver's tail started thumping "If your hungry why not share our meal? We don't have enough for a feast but you won't go to bed hungry. And there is a full moon tonight there's no since in singing alone."
So the black wolf followed them to their den and was given some of their meal. Little Lavender would shyly peek out from her brother's legs staying very close to him at all times. "Why are you called Lavender?" Sliver asked the pup who had ventured out from under the brother's legs and into his shadow. Silver was crouched down to be eye level with her. She scurried back to her brother who picked her up and placed her in the sun. The pup's fur which was gray in the shadows now showed a mixture of black and gray. There was enough black in her fur that it had a light purple hue to it.
Lavender ran back to her brother who was now lying down and curled up on his front paws and promptly went to sleep. The black wolf looked around "when is the rest of your pack going to arrive? Where are they?" he asked suddenly.
"This is the pack me, Trella, and Kitsun. There is no one else."
"This is a pack? Two runts of wolves and a fox?" he laughed "You must be joking… your not joking. You're serious this is a pack. Two would be omegas and one who is not even a pack animal."
Silver went outside Trella watched him go then glared at the strange wolf. "Would be omegas huh? Well let me tell you I have taken down dogs bigger than you with little problem. And what gives you the right to judge out pack. You're a stranger! We don't even know your name."
"If you're so strong why are you traveling with a runt like him?" he said triumphantly believing there couldn't possibly be a reason for them to travel together.
"That runt as you so call saved my life! He also has more manners then you ever could! If all you can do is criticize our pack then get out! We were kind enough to give you and your sister food for the night and a warm place to sleep plus offered to let you sing with us. And this is the thanks we get. Criticism!? Be grateful that you have that pup with you or I would have ripped your throat out a while ago." Trella stormed out of the den leaving the fox with their guest.
"She is right you know. You shouldn't criticize what you don't understand. We may not be a normal pack but things are going nicely for us. What is your name anyways?"
"Demon. I am called Demon."
"It suites you with your moonless midnight sky color fur and glowing yellow eyes. Anyways Demon just be grateful the Silver left with THAT look in his eyes." Kitsun didn't answer the inquiring look in Demon's eyes. He was after all a stranger who had no need to know that Silver just regained a memory just as she didn't need to know what made Trella a great fighter and Silver have more endurance for one his size would normally have. She also did not need to know what put the haunted look in both of the wolves eyes she just needed to know that they could be trusted and so far they had earner her trust same as she had earned theirs.
Demon sighed as much as he hated to admit it this strange pack was faring better then he and his sister were. Maybe he'd stick around, for his sister's sake and to see what he could learn about what made these animals that would normally never get along bond stronger then his former pack. Well, he'd think about that later. Figuring out this pack was likely to take a long time.
The small pup squirmed on his paws. Nuzzling her he thought. At least I was able to save little Lav. He'd be forever grateful to have been able to rescue her. His precious little sister.
