Chapter 4
"Now it's time to get started!"
~O~
Celest
After the incident with the other wolf, Blaze and I left almost immediately. I never knew that a wolf could be both stupid and aggressive enough to enter another's territory. Anyway, we were walking through a forest. The forest was filled with pines that seemed to actually touch the sky. It wasn't that it was dark or scary, but it just seemed unnatural. I sniffed the air, hoping to catch scent of something to eat when I spotted white.
"What was that?! Blaze, what was that?!" I quietly screamed.
"What?" He asked.
"I-I saw something. It was white a-and it was over there!" I was scared. An over-active imagination was never useful in situations like these. Blaze went over there and looked, but nothing was there. We continued walking. I heard the bushes shake again, but this time, Blaze heard it, too. I stopped dead in my tracks and started shaking. I didn't want to admit it, but I was one hundred percent scaredy-cat.
"Stay there," Blaze commanded.
"Don't worry about me, I'm not going anywhere," I reassured him. He snuck up on the bush and pounced. There were some growls and whimpers and then a wolf came out from behind the bushes.
~O~
Brook
I sat down on the edge of the fountain and waited for the others. I sat there for a few minutes before I saw a familiar green wolf, although he was in his human form.
"Hey," Forest said as he jumped beside me.
"I wonder what Breeze's human form looks like," I wondered.
"Speak of the devil," Forest said. Sure enough, Breeze was coming in an impressive human disguise. Forest whistled and Breeze blushes before punching him in the shoulder.
"So, what now?" Breeze asked. I hadn't really thought about it.
"I personally think we should leave this stink hole. This city is nasty for one thing. Hey, we could make like a pack and go out in to the unknown!" Forest gestured with his hands. "I'll be alpha, of course, and we'll have beautiful pups together!" This time, we both punched him.
~O~
Breeze
How could they talk about starting a pack so easily? Was it really that easy? Was all I have to say is, " Sure," and we'd be together? Why was it so hard to think about it?
"Back to Earth, Breeze!" Forest's hand waved in front of my face.
"Sorry, what?" I smiled an awkward smiled.
"I asked you if you were in. Joining us as a pack," Forest smiled. I didn't know. I hardly knew them. We'd only met last night and it was only for a few minutes. I didn't know what I was doing, but before my brain registered it, something had come out of my mouth.
"Yeah!" Brook quietly cheered. I must have agreed.
~O~
Blaze
I nipped at the tail of the wolf. It's back, tail, paws, and almost its entire head was white. Its eyes were shrouded in spots of black. Black was really the only other color on it.
"Who are you?" I growled while Celest hid behind some shrubbery. The wolf snorted, so I leaped upon it. "I asked you a question!"
"Snipe!" it managed and I jumped off of it.
"Why were you following us?"
"Hehehehe, how do you know you weren't following me?" Snipe laughed. I grabbed it by the neck and shook it a little before letting it go. I licked the metallic tasting liquid from my muzzle and watched as it spoke. "You're not normal wolves! I've been watching that female over there for about a month now. You are both not from here!" Snipe growled at me and Celest came out of hiding.
"Please, just leave him alone. He didn't do anything to us!" Celest pleaded. I snorted and turned away, pretending to scout ahead, and hoping Celest would follow, but she didn't.
~O~
Celest
I knew that Blaze was just protecting us, but the sight was just too much for me to handle. I went over and sniffed the wolf.
"What's your name?" Snipe asked.
"I'm Celest," I replied. Snipe didn't say anything after that. He only lay down beside the trunk of an oak tree until Blaze came back. He lay down beside me and glared at Snipe.
"I don't trust him," Blaze quietly growled.
"I think we should let him join our pack," Blaze looked shell-shocked.
"What! No!" Blaze quietly screamed.
"Why not? He hasn't done anything to us," I tried to reason. Blazed huffed and I gave him puppy dog eyes.
"Fine, but I don't trust him," I smiled and nuzzled him while he laughed. I kind of liked Blaze, but I could never be with him. Besides, something important had happened tonight. Tonight, our pack had grown.
~O~
Forest
I was in between two beautiful she wolves who were like my only friends. That would be enough to make any wolf happy, but it felt like part of me was missing. It wasn't like a romantic, "Oh, my darling! You will always have my heart!" kind of thing. It was more like my pack wasn't there. I couldn't sleep. I had to open my eyes every five seconds to make sure they hadn't left. When the morning did come, I had to close my eyes to pretend I was asleep so that they wouldn't worry. The last thing I wanted was for one of them to get scared or worried for me. It was mostly because today we were going to start our journey into the unknown.
I hope everyone liked it! I didn't post last week, so I decided to double post today. :-)
