Silverhowl
Chapter 9- Another Surprise
Fawful grinned at the captive Viperwolves whining in the cages. Some, like Bites, were curled up and trembling frightened, while others, like Fox, tried unsuccessfully to escape from their prison. Midbus came in holding a book
"The spell is ready, but-" he said
"Perfect! Now let's take those beasts to the ring!" Fawful exclaimed
"But it takes at least three days to take effect…"
"WHAT?"
"We won't be able to use the spell until it is left to prepare in three days."
"And am I going to do with these animals in three days?"
"Well, I guess we need them alive, so you have to feed them,"
"What a waste of food…"
XOXOXOXOXO
Junior had gotten up to his room to take a nap while the rest of his family arrived. After a while, DJ got in his bed and began licking his face.
"DJ, enough!" Junior exclaimed as he tried to prevent DJ from licking ant further. The Viperwolf pup just spinned around and pointed at the door.
"They're back?"
DJ howled.
"Let's go, then!
Junior and DJ ran to the living room, everyone else had already came back.
"Where were you?" Junior inquired crossing his arms
"Hey, DJ is with you?" Bowser asked
"Yeah, he's here…"
"That means he wasn't attacked?" Wendy asked
"Or maybe because he WASN'T present when it happened." Ludwig added
"ca someone explain me what's going on here?" Junior demanded
"Well, it was weird…" Iggy explained, "at one second we were in the living room, and at the next we're in different places…"
"And our Viperwolves were Wolfnapped!" Morton said
"Wolfnapped?" Bowser asked
"You know, because they're Viperwolves that were kidnapped…"
"Wolfnapped… I like it…" Lemmy commented
Larry, however, was too sad to even make a comment. He was crying bitterly next to Iggy, who was caressing the back of his head.
"And who kid- Wolfnapped them?" Junior asked
"We don't know…" Roy answered
"Fawful." A voice said
Everyone turned and saw Kamek and Nava standing in the door
"What did you say, Kamek?" Bowser inquired
"I didn't say it, your Vileness…" Kamek replied
"It was me." The same voice repeated
Everyone turned at Nava, who had a serious and calm look in his face.
"Guys, am I going mad or Nava talked…?" Lemmy asked
"I don't talk; I'm using my telepathy to communicate with you." Nava replied
"Telepathy?" Kamek asked
"Yes, Master."
"And what were you saying about Fawful?" Bowser asked
"He has been trying to capture us to extract our abilities."
"What? Is that even possible?" Roy asked
"Yes, there is a spell used for that purpose."
"And, how does it work?" Larry asked weakly
"It's a extraction spell created by our ancestors: see, ages ago, Silverhowls used their abilities not only for protecting their comrades, but sometimes used them in violent and selfish ways. The Elders created a spell to permanently extract the power cells from their hosts. But… if Fawful were to use that…"
"What would happen?" Morton asked
Nava looked at the floor; he didn't want to answer
"What's wrong? What would happen to them?" Wendy asked desperate
Nava looked at her
"Because Fawful wouldn't know how to properly use the spell… they… they would die…"
At this point, everyone's faces were filled with horror.
"That means… they're dead…?" Larry asked at the verge of tears
"I don't think so, the spell needs 3 days to charge. That was made with the spell in case the Silverhowl would regret its ways and reform." Nava explained
"So, we have 3 days to rescue them?" Roy asked
"Yes."
"Alright, what are we waiting for?" Bowser asked
"Oh, Nava, why weren't you captured with the rest?" Ludwig asked the Viperwolf
"I'm not a Silverhowl, I'm a Byakuwolf. The mental reading and telepathy are an ability of my own species." Nava answered
"Let's move already!" Morton called
"But we don't even know where Fawful is!" Wendy complained
"I think I can help you with that." Nava said, "I can track their scents."
"well, then, let's go!" Bowser exclaimed
"Papa, can I go too?" Junior asked
"Junior is too dangerous. You should better star here with DJ." Bowser replied
"But Papa! I want to help!"
"You'd only delay us!" Roy commented as e got out of the room.
"Sorry, Junior, but you're staying here with DJ." Bowser closed the conversation and followed Nava, Kamek and his other seven children. Junior felt deeply angered and frustrated. DJ felt almost the same, was this happening just because he was a powerless? Suddenly, he felt a chill run down his spine. Nothing happened after that, but his head started to ache terribly. Why was that…?
"Come on, DJ! We're going no matter they say no." Junior said as he went out by the window, soon being followed by DJ
