"Everyone is going to die, it's a natural part of life, but if life has no purpose your dead already." -Kiba (Ep. 3)

"You're a kid, Hige, and you're still trying to hit on me. It didn't seem relevant. It still doesn't. Just because I'm the same species as you doesn't mean you get to droll and get me to roll over for you. Drop your fantasies and move on," I growled before turning to face Kiba. "If you were searching for that mythed place then why are you here? I've seen that labbed creation, Cheza hasn't ever woken since she was created."
"Wha…?" his eyes widened.
A bullet whizzed past my ear and I blinked in surprise as I turned to see Quent. He swayed on the spot and stood Blue standing next to him. I saw the sympathetic look in her eyes as she stood beside him. I nodded my head to her and looked at Quent and saw him squinting at me.
"You…you were right next to me… How was it that I didn't even notice…?"
"Jordan, come on." I heard Hige whisper and I followed him. We ran down the streets before jumping onto a roof and finally stopped at a huge tree. "Damn that old man. I don't know how but he can see through our pretenses."
"It's because of his hatred. He believes wolfs destroyed his whole family and village. It's through that bitterness towards our kind that he is able to see it," I whispered as I pulled my hair over my shoulder. "I'm going home."
"But…"
"It's like I said Hige, 'fantasy.' Leave me alone," I spoke before running across the tops back to my place. 'I wish I could believe in that old wife's tale, but seeing my whole pack murdered by Jaguara's men because of that dream that I gave up. I was just a cub then, innocent and cowered at everything. I hid while my pack died.'
It was well into the night when a high pitched cry reached my ears from the city as the lights went out. I heard screaming from Tsume's room, the cry of a child.
"Cut it out!" Tsume yelled and the screaming continued. "Toboe be quiet! Just shut up!"
I frowned as I looked out the window. Tsume never let anyone be around him unless it was the humans that he was using to survive. Soon the lights came back on and I hurried over to Tsume's place and saw a wolf in the form of a human child in the corner.
Tsume stood in front of the kid, one hand on his hip. "Hey," he kicked the kid gently. "Hey, snap out of it, would you?"
"Is it… It's gone… you felt that, didn't you? You heard it right? Such a sad voice," he wrapped his arms around his knees and looked down.
"It was a machine, that's all. Probably the dying sounds of some old robot breaking down," Tsume looked back out the window.
"Is that what you really believe?" I spoke as I entered the room. The boy jumped and looked at me. "Tsume lies about almost everything kid, get used to it. If it makes you feel better, I heard her too."
"Her?" Tsume scoffed as he looked at me.
"Yes, her, the lab grown flower maiden, Cheza, I guess she's finally woken up."
"Don't be so delusional," Tsume snapped.
"Then you stop being such an icicle towards every one! Geez, Tsume, he's a child. This world may be dying but you could still be more considerate! Some people need hope to survive unlike you and I," I snapped.
"Hey!" Tsume snapped and turned to me. "I don't care about what happens to anyone around me, I have no friends, they are useless. I say things like they are!"
"Fine whatever," I laughed and left. Back in my room, I laid down and fell asleep.
"Im sick of friends, who needs them," the voice of Tsume roused me from sleep. "All they do is bring trouble. Useless."
I sighed and left. "I should leave this city and start somewhere else, but I can't. I've lived here for so long since their deaths…" I walked through the streets and saw Toboe with Hige and Kiba. "At least he's found some more sensible friends. I'll never really have that. Humans are too predictable and wolves… pathetic."
"Hey Jordan, have you seen any large dogs around?" Detective Hubb came into view.
"Large dogs?" I asked as he walked closer.
"Word is that there are a few in the city that are rabid. Would you make sure to notify me if you do see any?" he coughed into a rag.
"Allergies?" he nodded. "Well if I see anything, I'll be sure to alert somebody."
"Thank you, I should head back to the station. Be careful, danger seems to be lurking in every corner these days now."
I nodded and started the walk back to my place. I smelt Tsume's blood and sighed. As I passed his room I heard talking inside.
"We just can't live with the humans anymore and survive," the boy spoke sadly.
"Look, I hate to interrupt you but there's a nasty stink headed this way," the boy Hige spoke and I entered the room. Kiba, Hige, toboe, and tsume were in there.
"We're surrounded," Tsume spoke, skeptically.
"Let me ask you, why did you come to this city? It was because of the flower scent wasn't it. Well, it's gone now. We have no reason to stay," everyone looked down sadly except Tsume.
It has nothing to do with the flower, I'm here because I belong," Tsume spoke looking out the window.
"I can see that, this place is a dump," Kiba sneered.
"I still have a score to settle with you…"
"Will you two just shut up?" I snapped. "The humans will kill you all if you stay here. They know that Tsume is here, they're hunting him because he was the leader of some human raid team. I don't care what you four do but I'm out of here. I can smell their guns getting ready."
Then I ran out of the room and to mine and grabbed my plain dagger and jumped out my window and headed towards the gate. I couldn't care less about what they did. Sure it would feel weird not having Tsume there even though he hated the world, but I had to protect my own life. Blue wouldn't purposely sell me out to Quent, but if I hung out with that pack then it would happen.
'Life is about self-preservation. If you don't have that then you've dug your grave. Without purpose you'd be dead already,' I thought as I reached the wall. A gunshot echoed around me and hit my side, making me fall off the edge outside the city. 'Damn it, I should have kept up my senses.'
I switched to my wolf form and rolled to my feet and bounded off into the blizzard, ignoring the pain in my side. The bullet had just grazed me so I was fine. I headed towards the next city.
