A/N: here we are, chapter four! Sorry it took so long to go up, I had to wait until I got my three reviews *hint hint please review* thanks for reading this guys, and to my loyal followers, and especially my reviewers! I love you guys! So, special thanks to Kudo Shinichi Tanteisan(thank you for the snowflakes, and the cookie, it was delicious!), catgirl963, and Rosaline Redd, your reviews kept me going. I decided that five reviews should be easy enough to get, so five reviews for chapter five, please!
(y/n) and Romano just lay there for a good few minutes, grieving with aching hearts for the pack member they had just lost. There was nothing they could do to go back in time and save him, but they both blamed themselves anyways. Feli was such a weak, kind soul of a wolf, he was terrified of his own shadow, so why did they let him go off by himself without a second thought?
Romano shifted by you, and you felt his heavy muzzle softly tap yours, letting you know as you looked into those deep hazel eyes how sorry he was for not being there. You whined in return, you felt the same.
There was a slight shuffle of leaves and dead branches, and your head shot up, ears up, eyes alert, scanning for any danger. Your nose was too stuffy from your silent tears to be of any use, but you couldn't see or hear anything suspicious. Must just have been a squirrel or badger nosing through the soft soil for worms, or other tasty treats.
Suddenly, a bang that sounded like an explosion shattered your eardrums as you flinched reflexively, and pain exploded in your right shoulder, followed by a small smash. Romano shot up with hackles raised and teeth bared, ready to protect his alpha from whatever mysterious threat there was lurking in the woods.
Your (e/c) were elsewhere, though. You were staring in horror at the syringe lodged into the tree beside you, with only half of the thick, clear liquid still in the bottle. It obviously injected itself into you as it sailed through the air, and the ripping pain in your shoulder only confirmed that fact, as you glanced at it in horror.
You jumped to your feet, and ran off with your tail high in the air, showing defiance to whoever hit you with that syringe, Romano following at your heels, watching your back for any more threats. Out of the corner of your eyes, you saw something white, and something else, a more golden shade, shifting through the trees, coming after you, you realised with a shock. it wasn't something, it was someone.
You sped off through the forest to return to your den, hidden in a small dug-out cave your skilled paws leaving little tracks for them to follow. Romano was still behind you, scared for his life, but determined not to show it, as his heavy-set paws dug huge holes in the ground in his panic to escape. The chase was on.
First time writing author's notes down here, surprised to see me, eh? Remember, five reviews for chapter five to come out! I want to ask, am I being descriptive enough? Is the pace of it too fast/slow? Is Romano too OOC? Am I writing too much in the authors notes? haha
