CITY: HELTINERA
Chapter 6: Overrun
Wolf pulled Kiara after his parents. His father led the way, followed by his mother. They were in the city streets now, running for the army blockades. 6 fevered ran after them. People who also sought safety ran along side Wolf as they ran for the blockades. As they turned a corner next to a large building they saw the blockade being overrun. Soldiers screamed as the Fevered killed them. Josh moaned and ran away from the blockade. Ian followed closely behind as they all ran for a large skyscraper. As they ducked inside Josh pulled out both the red and green blades and did a back flip over the group. As the fevered rushed in Josh landed and cleaved all the fevered with one swift strike of both swords. Josh panted, sheathed the blades, and ran to the stairs where the rest of the group was running up. When they were about half way up they heard Fevered shrieking below them. Josh roared "MOVE!! MOVE DAMMIT MOVE!!!" Kiara screamed as she continued running up and up the stairs. Wolf never let go of her hand as they ran into a door on one of the levels. They burst into a large office complex with multiple cubicles. Josh blockaded the door with a large desk and pulled out the blood red blade, ready to kill whatever came through that door. The rest took cover in multiple cubicles as the Fevered banged on the door. After about 10 minutes of waiting the banging ceased and Josh relaxed his sword hand. He walked over to the group and sighed "We're safe….for now" Wolf looked up at his father…he wasn't who he thought he was anymore…he was a killer. Kiara curled up in one of the cubicles, Ian in another. Allison and Josh set up in their own. Wolf stood by the window and watched with horror the scene below. Fevered, nothing but masses of Fevered people running after the normal, People who were overrun by bloody masses, and who had no chance to defend them selves. Wolf saw flames and rubble everywhere. In the distance a large building collapsed. He turned his back towards the city and walked to the cubicle where Kiara was to keep her company. He sat next to her and sighed softly as she laid her head on his shoulder "I'm scared Wolf, what if the fevered get in" He looked at her and spread his legs. He pulled her over and sat her between them. He then pulled her against him and put his arms around her waist. "If they do, I swear on this Earth, this Heaven, And this now turned Hell, that they will never reach you" Kiara sighed and laid her head back so it rested underneath his chin. She stroked Wolf's hand as she let sleep take her. Wolf watched over her for long hours, and then, making sure everyone was asleep, fell asleep himself as his mind wandered back
THE PRESENT: KALINGRAD
Wolf sat in the Grand Tree crying, no one was around for this castle too was also ransacked. He remembered Kiara had found him here, how she was pregnant with his children. Wolf look up quickly, remembering the kids. Wolf's mouth opened slowly. He didn't know where they were, what had happened. He had to find them too, and Kacie as well. Wolf was about to cry again when a voice sprung into his mind "Wolf…The kingdom..." Wolf shot his head around towards the gate. There in the gateway was a big black wolf; it was pure black, shiny. The eyes were Blue, dark blue. His ivory teeth shone in the darkness of the night, the same went for his claws. He turned and padded off. Wolf jumped down and followed the wolf "Wait! Who are you!?" Wolf asked. The wolf didn't answer as it burst into a full blown run to the North. Wolf growled and turned into his wolf form, and followed close behind. They traveled far, over mountains, through lakes; they jumped from trees to trees. Finally the black wolf stopped and turned to face Wolf, who also was now stopped. He looked behind the black wolf and saw Moon Sky city, or what was left of it. The whole city was in flames. Wolf felt tears in his eyes "No fire drenchers, or well attendees to put it out, it burned freely" He thought. The black wolf turned his head to the east and Wolf's head followed. He stared at a small square formation on a large hill. Wolf sighed "Havenshire is it too abandoned?" He asked the black wolf. It nodded and suddenly sprinted off towards it. Wolf was briefly shocked at its speed but quickly picked up the chase. They ran quickly, stopping for nothing. Wolf watched as the black wolf neared the city. It stopped at the gate and turned and stared at Wolf. Wolf stared back "Is the answer here?" He spoke mentally. The black wolf bowed his head, raised it, and looked behind Wolf. Wolf saw this and turned. Nothing was there and he turned back around. The black wolf was gone. Wolf stared in shock but regained his senses. Slowly but surely, he padded into Havenshire. The city was in just as much of a mess as the others he visited. He looked around at the looted stores, the broken glass. A few fires were smoldering here and there. He began sniffing around for a scent or something to tell him Kiara was here. He sniffed through rubble, some empty houses, the main hall, but still nothing. He was about to give up when he turned and saw a girl on the high wall, sitting, staring at the outside. Wolf's eyes widened in shock, she wasn't there before! The girl who had to be at least 16 had on the pants of a brown Kimono-Hori, like Wolf's, her hair was long, going down to her middle back. Her shirt was a white silky one with red spots dotting them here and there. Wolf narrowed his eyes, it was blood. He looked more closely and gasped in thought. She was pregnant. Wolf wondered what in the hell is a girl whose pregnant doing in such a wrecked place. He padded to the rampart stairs and then up. As he approached the girl turned her head sharply and he stopped dead in his tracks. Her eyes, they were like Kiara's but they weren't hers, they were pink.
THE PAST: CITY HELTRINA, SKYCRAPER
Wolf snoozed on, unaware that he was lying on his back with Kiara lying on top of him. They had been inside the office for about a week, wondering whether they would stay here or no. He stirred and looked around with his eyes. The room was dark except for a few lit candles. Ian's voice sprang into his mind "You awake yet sleepy head, or are you going to keep cuddling with pinky there?" Wolf looked over to Ian sitting on one of the cubicle walls. He rolled his eyes and moved Kiara off of him. Before he got up he placed the blanket over her and gave her a small kiss on the neck. She moaned softly and turned over. Wolf got up and walked over to the window. From there he could see a few Fevered running down the street but then the rest was empty. Ian whispered "Hey, I heard your dad wanted to talk to you about something deadly important" Wolf turned his head and nodded. He asked Ian where he was. Ian inclined his head to the door that lead to the next room. He walked over, scratching his head. As he opened the door he smelled blood. He cautiously walked through to find a body by a blocked door. Josh was sitting near the window, watching everything below. As he approached Josh said "One of the Fevered tried to get in, I got him though. Come here son I need to talk" Wolf sat cross legged beside him and listened. Josh and sighed and said "Wolf, you're the only hope for the future"
