Leaves whistled past, and branches cracked angrily underfoot, the sound of deep snorting breaths of wild animals caught in the air.
Strong paws clawed the dry mud beneath, chasing the cloven-toed deer unfortunate to catch these wild wolves when they were hungry. They were starving, and then a lone deer simply trots past them, it was impossible to resist. And so the death race began.
Dodging low-hanging trees as you rounded a corner, you glanced at the two wolves beside you. The two wolves, one a dark chocolate brown, the other a lighter hazelnut chestnut, slid lithely through the forest, their slim and agile bodies perfectly adapted to this chase. You knew you had a small pack, but you didn't mind, as you knew these two inside and out, you trusted them completely.
Their names was Feliciano and Romano, nicknamed Feli and Lovi (although Romano hated his nickname) and despite being twins, were like chalk and cheese. Their contrasting personalities were hilarious, Lovi the head-strong, sarcastic one, always wanting to go in for the kill and savagely tear the animal apart, and Feli the bubbly, enthusiastic one, who preferred simply to chase the animal until either you of Lovi took it down. The team worked perfectly, with you, the large (h/c) wolf at the lead, spreading the wolves to best use their strengths in each task.
There was a slight rustle behind you, but you paid it no attention as you focused on your target, probably just a rabbit running for shelter. You gave the order, a short bark followed by a whine, signalling to end this chase now. Lovi and Feli "huffed" back a quick reply, before Feli ran to catch up with the deer and nip at it's heels, as Lovi ran up alongside the animal, preventing escape into the dense trees.
You readied your legs, and snapped your jaw, feeling the raw power and strength in your fangs, as you ran in a wide arc around the deer and pack members, to catch the deer by surprise head on. You tensed your legs, ready to pounce, feeling the adrenaline coursing through your body, and you leapt at the deer just as a loud bang echoed through the forest, causing Feli to scream out in pain and making Lovi lose his footing and trip in surprise.
You missed the animal because of the shock, the loud noise, what was it? You heard something struggling in the bushes, then you heard Feli squeal in terror.
Fear froze you in place until your mind caught up with your body, and you forced yourself to run to the now-still bushes. Lovi was already there, watery eyes on the verge of tears, as he angrily ran around, sniffing the air desperately, and howling. Where was Feli?!
You saw deep gashes in the ground, from Feli's claws digging into the soil. The scent of fear lingering in the air told you that something terrible had happened. So, something had taken Feli, and dragged him off. No-one did that to a team member of yours. Not in your pack. Never. Feeling anger pump through your veins and blinding your vision, you let out a terrible roar, letting whoever took Feli from you know, I'm getting him back, and you won't live to see it.
A/N: Hey guys, this is my first fanfic ever! I'd appreciate any feedback and reviews, they help me to improve! I re-did this chapter, I wasn't happy with it, and I plan to re-do some other chapters too, if I have the time. Is anyone OOC? If they are, *please please please* tell me, so I can fix it! Thanks :D
