Alpha and Omega

"Twist of Fate"

Chapter 9 "Circle of Death"

4 hours after Chapter 8 at Lilly's Holding Cell...

Lilly was now just barely waking up. She had been knocked unconscious from the two wolves. She managed to stand up and saw a the wolf she had impaled earlier on the ground in front of her.

"What the he-" Lilly was cut off when the pack leader walked out from the shadows behind her.

"That's no way for you to talk. Especially a pretty little thing like you..." He finished with a smirk.

Lilly spun around and saw him sitting next to were she just began walking backwards while saying "Why the hell is there a dead wolf in here?!"

He looked at it and smiled before he replied "...It's dinner..."

Lilly stood there in shock "Dinner?... How could another wolf be dinner?! That's insane!" she snapped back to reality when the big wolf stood next to her again. She flinched away from him before he said "What?... Can't put you'r kill out of it's misery?..."

She waited before replying "You'r sick! Wanting me to eat another wolf-" Just then his paw flew across her face and she flew into the wall. A crunch was heard as she fell to the floor. It was her right front arm that made the crunch sound. He had hit her so hard that her wrist fractured upon impact with the wall. She tried to stand up;but yelped in pain as she fell to the floor again now immobilized.

"Well, well, well, I must say... You look nice when you'r in pain... Some might even say... Arousing..." A massive evil grin appeared across his face. Just then Lilly's eyes grew wide realizing what he was referring to. She started to struggle to get away when she stopped dead in her tracks. She felt his breath on the back of her neck and it sent chills down her spine. She went to jump away, despite the pain of her arm, but was caught by him placing his forelegs around her hips. This caused her to immediately fall to the ground and yelp in pain from her injured arm. He pulled her under his body; her back was facing up.

Lilly began to cringe when he did this. "Woah, woah, woah! The party's just getting started! Now what was you'r name... Lilith?... Lizzy?... Oh yea... Lilly... Just wanted to know you'r name since were about to get know each other real well..." With that Lilly cringed every part of her body preparing for the worst...

3 hours earlier

Winston was standing in the feeding grounds with 8 other alphas and had just finished informing them of the current situation. Just then something fast crashed into him knocking him and what ever it was off the small ledge he was on. When he hit the ground he quickly recovered; but what ever landed after him wasn't that fortunate. As he stood up he saw that object had been Humphrey.

"Humphrey what are you doing? You need to heal!" asked Winston now right beside Humphrey, who was shaking his head to rid himself of the dizzyness.

"Hey *Pant* Winston *Pant* it was *Pant* Lilly... they took Lilly! We have to go save her now!" Humphrey was now talking normally again after having to catch his breath.

"It was Lilly! Alright we'll go rescue her! You stay here and heal..." Winston went to walk away when Humphrey stopped him. "Winston let me go with you! I know how to deal with this pack...""So... Kate told you who they were huh?..." Humphrey nodded in agreement before Winston continued "Wait... how do you know it was Lilly?..." Humphrey then replied one last time "That's something we can talk about later. But right now we need to get her back!" Not wanting to waste any more time, Winston signaled his team and they began to move out.

15 minutes ago...

Humphrey looked up to see Eve walking in saying something about Lilly being kidnapped when she stopped dead in her tracks staring at them... A low growl started to emit from her and Humphrey instantly knew what it was.

"Mom no... It's not what you think!-" Kate was cut off by Eve knocking her off Humphrey before going to maul his face. However, thanks to the year of hard training, his reflexes had greatly improved.

He easily dodged out of the way and dashed out quickly. Eve wasn't letting off that easily though and chased him out. Eve was right on his tail and gaining on him too! All of the sudden his fatigue went away and everything felt numb... Humphrey's eyes slowly changed from the aqua blue color they had been to a fiery crimson. He then easily outpaced Eve and with in 10 seconds of pursuit she had lost him... Eve stopped and was looking around with amazement. She had never been outpaced by a wolf before, especially not, while she as in a rage! Kate then smacked into her and they toppled over... Eve got up before Kate did and quickly found his scent and began following it. Kate got up shortly after and followed her mom in a vain effort to stop her...

2 Hours after chapter 8...

Humphrey and the others were now in what, pretty much, seemed like the enemy's territory. As they were walking an uneasy feeling came over Winston as they grew closer to what they thought was the heart of the enemy's territory. "What's wrong with them?... Why haven't they attacked or at least meet us yet?... I got a bad felling about this one..." They continued to walk for about 5 minutes before every one stopped.

Hutch turned towards Winston and said "Somethings not right sir..."

Winston agreed with him; everything was quiet... to quiet... "Agreed... Hutch take Allen and Felix with you. Can-do you take Shawn and Leo. The rest of you are here with me and Humphrey!"

Humphrey interrupted Winston's command by saying "No... don't split up... They already know were here... splitting up would make us easier targets for them."

Everyone waited for Winston's command, however it never came, instead Humphrey finished by saying "The only thing we can do now is continue through the territory until they decide to confront us..." Although Winston didn't like the idea of it Humphrey did have a point. 1 because he used to be apart of their group and more than likely knows their tactics and strategies. 2 because it was starting to get late and them being separated in the dark wasn't a good idea. So Winston motioned for his highly trained alphas to continue into the territory.

Back in the United Packs Territory

P.O.V. Kate

Mom had finally stopped running and boy was I relieved. I don't even know how Humphrey escaped my mom but he must be 1 lucky wolf. When I walked up next to her she had a worried expression on her face.

I decided to ask "Hey mom what's wrong?"

"Honey, I've lost his scent..." replied mom frantically trying to find it.

"Few... Why are you so worried that you lost his scent?" I asked this question was largely do the fact mom was still frantically searching for it.

"Honey, it's not that I lost it it's were I lost it! This is the location you'r father and the search party left from. His scent is enter twined with others so I can't possibly find him..." After this I had and idea so I told my mom to stay close and I began off into the forest sure I'd be able to find him this way...

Now In the Heart of Enemy Territory...

P.O.V. Normal

Humphrey and the group were walking quietly in the woods in search of Lilly. Humphrey was 90% sure they had a scout watching them right now. That's when it happened! About 16 or so wolves jumped out pinning the United Packs rescue team.

"Hahaha pathetic... so helpless... Hey Humphrey remember me?... " said a red-ish brown wolf with amber eyes.

Humphrey grimaced at the sound of his voice and replied "Well Noah... I see you finally got promoted..."

Noah quickly shot back "Yep... I told you I would some day... Look at them... Alphas... Ha. These are probably the least alpha alphas I ever seen! Oh well, all good things must come to an end. Gentlemen any last words before my co-workers dismember you?"

This was going down hill and fast! Humphrey had to figure something out before it was to late! "Come on think Humphrey! THINK!" That's when the idea finally hit him! He managed to bark out "Ya are you still a betting man Noah?"

Noah turns around and replies "Are you making an offer?"

Humphrey then finished by saying "Ya what ever you got through it at me; just spare them."

Noah looked at Humphrey with a evil smirk for a minute before replying "Okay there's a tournament going on tonight and I'm low on cash and expendable fighters. You can probably see were I'm going with this, So I'll just cut to the chase. If you win I'll have my men escort you out of the territory with out being noticed. If you lose though Not only will you die but so will you'r pathetic little rescue team. That's my only deal take it or leave it..." Another evil grin grew across his face. Humphrey hated it too. He had no other choice. So he accepted the task and they were all taken to some cells were they would wait to be sent into the arena.

10 Minutes after Winston and Humphrey's deal/capture...

Eve had now followed Kate well beyond the borders of Jasper Park and into the territory clan "Ripper" has captured. Of course they were oblivious to this until they came upon the very spot were Winston and his team were captured, o while they were here a random wolf said "Hurry quickly the tournaments about to start! Some idiot was stupid enough to join the C.o.D.!"

Eve then replied "What's the C.o.D.?"

He answered her by saying " The "Circle of Death" Duh!"

Kate then asked, getting more side tracked by the moment, "What happens during it?"

He finally replied "Well multiple saps have to fight other fighters to death in order to be granted 1 gift but only men can join..."

Kate and Eve asked in unuscione "Who is it?"

"Well they said the new rookie's name was something like...eh...uh... Humphrey! Ya that's it Humphrey!"

Kate's eyes widened at this news, then she tackled the wolf putting her razor sharp claws to his throat, "Listen here were is this tournament being held?!"

"P-Please let m-me go! I-Ill take y-you if you promise not to kill me first!"

With this kate let off his neck but immediately put him to work at leading the way. The whole time, unbeknownst to Kate, Eve was beaming with pride for her daughter. "That's my girl..."

So... What you think is going to happen to Lilly *Obvious* What do you think the C.o.D. is like? Find out next time on Alpha and Omega "Twist of Fate"! Also please review you'r personal thoughts/feelings on this chapter! Okay see ya next time!
