Me: Well, if you're still sticking with me, you may be as crazy as i am.

Greens: This is our chapter! She believes that she is kind of crazy, it hasn't been determined yet.

Me: Anyway, i don't anything but my black tie.

Chapter 8: Green Trouble

Butch:

The first day that we meet was really eventful. We first met at a party and I just started to watch her while she was singing. At first I was watching because she had sang a song that was calling me a jerk. But then I continued to watch her because she had an amazing voice and she seemed like she had so much energy. She had a way with singing that just made you want to melt from the words or want to join her in her getting revenge on a random guy. She had a way that was just so emotional and persuading that you just get stuck in her words.

And then we both got kidnapped by hunters and brought to who knows where. Where we were almost caught by some hunters which was my fault, but we then had to act like two insanely crazy stupid teenagers that were dating. Then we had to travel in a more diagonal direction to see if we could find my brothers and the girl's two sisters. Then to end the day we ended up sleeping under a few broken boards that were a part of an old fur trapper's hut that was probably destroyed by a storm. It was two walls with a corner and a bunch of broken boards cover the rest of it except for where the little openings, the way we got in. It was really dirt infested.

Then to wake up the next morning and almost be caught in an attack from a vicious badger that had smelled like it was close by. But it thankfully avoided us. I would hate to try to fight or run from those vicious, terrible, killing-machine creatures. But we shifted and began to leave our little shelter, only to get far enough to not be able to run back for cover when hunters started coming around. We had to squish and scrunch into a small little dirt shelter to hide from them because we were both too cold to shift back and try to trick them again. Then when they left we climbed out began to walk and see if we could find somewhere to sleep for the night. We weren't making any progress though. You try spending three hours of doing nothing, but walking and not seeing anything, but white snow and brown trees.

But there was one thing that was bugging me. Where had I seen this female as a wolf before? I mean I know that I've seen her before, I just can't think of where I've seen her. She is so different, but really interesting nonetheless. So as we've been walking this whole time, I've been trying to figure out where I've seen her before. But it's been three hours and I still have no idea.

She is walking ahead of me, looking really tired and really bored her head was hanging low and her speed was quite slow. This whole journey to find my brothers and her two sisters is extremely boring right now. I mean all we can see is snow, snow, and snow. I just want something interesting to happen, so that we can stop walking around so bored!

Sniff, sniff! I smell something, the girl probably smells or smelled it before I did, but she obviously doesn't care. I personally want to know what that smell is. I am walking and following the smell that I can…smell. It smells kind of wet and animal-like, but it also smells like rabbit. Maybe a rabbit froze or something, I'll figure out how to cook a rabbit. I am too hungry to even care; I mean I just want food!

I walk until I reach a dark cave way off the path that we had been traveling on, but now I'm all alone in walking. I shift just in case it's hunters that found the cave and decided to make rabbit or something. "Hello… hello is any in there?" I ask as I rub my arms to try to get warm again. I don't hear any response, but I walk in to see if I can get a better look see. Maybe they didn't hear me. "Hello is anybody in here? I am just looking for some food to eat and I was wondering if you had any to spare an if I could by any chance maybe eat with you." I suggested as I intruded further into the cave. The thing is that no one responded back with actual words that I could understand. But I'm pretty sure they weren't words of welcoming.

"Oh, SHIT!" I screamed as I ran as fast as I could on two legs out of the cave. Using my arms to try to propel my body faster and farther. But no matter how fast I was going; the being after me was going incredibly faster and was easily gaining on me. "Sorry, I don't really want to eat with you anymore!" I yelled without looking back, I'm not stupid enough to do that. But the bear chasing me wasn't stupid enough to leave me alone either. I wanted something interesting to happen, but this is not what I meant! 'Shit! I'm about to be mauled by a bear and I haven't even found my brothers yet!' I thought before I accidently tripped on a tree root and fell into the snow. My knees and hands the only real thing that saved my whole body from hitting the freezing cold, frozen water. I heaved myself up and looked to see the bear too close to even think about running again. It was going to kill me; it climbed to its hind legs and brought its front legs up, ready to come crashing down on me with its sharp claws.

The bear never came. I hid my eyes and prepared myself for the fatal blow, but it never came. I uncovered my face to see a wolf with a white coat of fur with one black ear and black paws slamming into the bear's head and shoulder enough for it to lose its balance and fall down into the snow. The wolf had shifted back into the girl I'd been with since the hunters kidnapped us. She had landed on her feet. She was breathing heavily when she ran over to me and grabbed my hand, making me move forward and away from the bear.

We had to stop when we ran into yet another bear. The one she had hit and the new one were surrounding us. We stood back to back, both fully human and half naked in the freezing snow while it was continuing to snow even more. We are so screwed!

"How big of an idiot are you?!" She yelled at me. It was a valid question I guess, I mean I did almost get caught by hunters and she saved me from that and then I did just piss off a momma bear by being too close to her bear cubs.

"Usually… I get into about this much trouble, but I can usually get myself out. And I usually have my brothers with me when I get in trouble. We actually tend to get in trouble together." I said watching the bear in front of me.

"You always get in trouble with your brothers?" She asked like it was the most surprising thing she just heard from my response of how much trouble I usually get into.

"Yes, we usually always hang out together. We usually don't go any place without each other. I've just never gotten into trouble without them." I said as I watched the bear in front of me sniff the air.

"I usually stick with my sisters all the time too. This whole getting kidnapped thing is terrible because I'm separated from them. Usually I can talk to them and if there's a problem, we usually figure it out together." She said, her tone showing that she was a little upset that she doesn't have her sisters with her. "I have an idea, but you're going to have to promise that you'll do what I do and not be a suicidal idiot. Do you promise?" She asks me after a second of silence.

"If it gets us out of this troublesome situation, bring it on!" I said with as much confidence as I could put in my voice. I hope we survive this.

"We're going to shift, and run." She said immediately. I thought she was crazy until she went into explanation. "We'll be wolves, so our scent will change and they won't understand the change. What they know is that your human scent got too close to the bear cubs and that my human scent is with yours. But we pose no threat to them as wolves, our scents are different." She explained. The whole thing actually made sense, and I almost laughed when she said, thank god their not badgers, under her breath. But I restrained and we both shifted into our wolf forms. The bears began to smell around to see where we had gone, as humans. But while they did that, we snuck away and found ourselves heading toward an almost frozen lake.

We then found a small outcropping to lay low in for an hour or so. We shifted back so that we could actually talk. "I have been stuck with you for two days now, yet I have no idea what your name is. So what is your name, unless you want me to call you hottie?" I asked making her smile and roll her eyes at me.

"I'm Buttercup. And honestly you need to stop acting like an omega. Unless you are, then you can surely continue to act like one. But I'm not one to really put up with omegas, being that I am an alpha." She said with sigh and a smile. Damn that smile though.

"I'm not an omega! I actually happen to be an alpha as well." I said dramatically, making her smile and laugh. "I'm Butch by the way. Yes, I know, Butch like the stereotypical name someone would give their tough pet dog. But I didn't choose it, my mom actually did." I said accidently letting the sadness fill part of my voice.

"What happened to her?" Buttercup asked with genuine concern in her eyes. It was at first shocking seeing that much concern in someone's eyes that barely knows me. But then I felt kind of warm inside that someone would care that much about what had happened.

"She got that unknown sickness that had gone through all of the packs about eleven years ago. The one that had killed so many werewolves. My brothers, our mother, and I had all contracted it, but she never got better. She ended up passing away from it in her sleep, my brothers and I had tried to wake her, but she just…" I said trying to not cause myself to cry.

"Didn't wake up. You were so confused about why she wouldn't get up and why you couldn't hear the calming sound of her heart anymore. The one sound that had helped you fall asleep for so many years. And then your father came in and began to cry for the first time." She said finishing what I had been saying. I looked over to her kind of confused. She was hugging her arms and looking out into the snow, but not really seeing it.

"How…" I began to ask.

"My sisters and I lost our mother the same way. The thing is that I almost didn't survive it either. I only survived because my mother had asked me to sing to her before going to sleep the night before we found her… well, you know." She said looking at me with tears in her eyes. That's why she knew what I was talking about; she had to live through the same thing.

"I'm glad that you decided not to stop singing just because that was the last thing you did for your mother. You really have beautiful voice." I said trying to comfort her. She looked at me and nodded smiling. She inhaled a big breath and then we shifted to go look for a better place to sleep for the night.

We found a tree with roots that went above the ground and created a sort of small cave like shelter. We climbed in and we curled up on the extremely dirt and dust covered floor.

I watched as it began to swirl and cover the ground even more. I then looked over to see that Buttercup was fast asleep. She is the most confusing, annoying, wonderful, and cute female werewolf I have ever met. I started to drift off thinking about how she seemed insane sometimes, how she could be an amazing pack leader with me, and how she is a nightmare dressed like a daydream. Screw what I am and am not supposed to think about. I've been through too much to care right now.

Buttercup:

"What are you saying? Are you saying that we just create our lives in one of our packs?" I ask as Butch and I sit on a small flowery hill. I'm sitting in between his legs and he's got his arms behind him.

"Let's leave! I mean let's just leave everything; you don't have to marry the guy you're betrothed to! You and I can just stick together. We can live on our own, we can go on forever. We could do it! We could just leave everything behind and not even worry about what our lives are supposed to look like, just make our lives look like we want them to look like." Butch begged me.

"But we're alphas; we can't just give up all of our responsibilities to live lives of just fun. I have to marry the guy I'm betrothed to and I have to unify the Utonium Pack and the Jojo Pack, just like my sisters have to do. I'm not just going to give that up just to run off and be labeled as an omega. Do you want to be labeled an omega? Would you really want that?" I asked. Butch just sighed and put his head on top of mine. "But you'll remember me right?" I asked, worried that he would say no.

I bolted up; I could see the snow that was somehow held up by the tree roots above us. But I wasn't thinking about that I was thinking about the dream I had just had. The one where it was like Butch, a guy I barely know, and I were talking about skipping out on our responsibilities to be together. But that didn't make any sense, why would I dream that? And why did it seem so vivid?

It's the morning of our third day of being stuck in wherever it is we are, and once I settled my heart rate down I looked at Butch. He was fast asleep, his nose twitching like he was about to sneeze from the cold. I look outside and shake from the cold and to try to get that dream out of my head. It wasn't so bad, but it wasn't exactly normal at all either.

"Hey…what's going on?" Butch asks drowsily from behind me. I turn to him and give him a small smile. And shrug my shoulders. I can't exactly tell him that I was oddly enough dreaming about him and that he was begging me to give up my life as I know it to run away with him. That would be extremely awkward.

"I just had a weird dream. I woke up and realized that it was simply just a dream and that none of the vivid things that were happening were actually happening." I said trying to be as honest as possible without telling him any details.

"Why don't you tell me the gist of it? I mean you don't have to give me any details, but you can tell me what it was kind of like." Butch said trying to be nice. But how could I give him the honest truth to what it was that I had been dreaming. Well, he did ask for just the gist of it.

"He's so tall. And handsome as hell. He's so bad, but he does it so well." I sang a part of Taylor Swift's song Wildest Dreams. That song was pretty much the gist of what I had kind of dreamt about. "Say you'll remember me!" I continued. "Even if it's only in your wildest dreams!" I ended before he interrupted.

"So basically the gist of your dream follows the lines of Wildest Dreams by Taylor Swift?!" He said curiously.

"Yeah, pretty much. I know that's weird, but I never said that I was exactly normal. Actually I didn't really tell you much about me. Do you actually want to know more about me?" I asked looking at him with a tilted head. My hair is in a loose braid that has leaves and other tree things stuck in it and it's falling out of the ponytail holder it's in.

"Yeah! Can you tell me something about you that will be helpful to me? I mean I don't really know anything about you besides that you have two sisters; you lost your mother, and your name. So anything you're willing to tell me is progress!" He said sitting up and crossing his legs. I'm bored and I want to act like a normal teenage girl.

So I crawl over to him and whisper in his ear, "Boys only want love if it's torture. Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn ya. Boys only want love if it's torture. Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn ya." Then moved away from him and said, "But you'll come back every time you leave because darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream." I saw that he was scowling and laughed. Then I shifted and climbed out of the little tree root shelter.

He came out of the tree root shelter in his wolf form as well. I had stopped for him to catch up with me. There is no way in hell I'm letting him out of my sight today. I don't need to get into any more trouble. My muscles already hurt enough. And it's too cold to do anything, but look for our siblings.

Once he was right next to me, I began to lead us down one slope into a small valley with a lot of wet mud. I know that it isn't yet frozen because we had to walk carefully through it to get to the other side. We then started heading up the slope when I caught a whiff of something. It was faint, meaning that it was at least a few days old, but there was a faint scent of a fox and an even fainter smell of a wolf. But the scent from the fox was stronger because there was blood in the mud. That meant that the fox had been injured. We went back down the slope and began to follow the smell of the fox.

Butch looked at me like I was idiot, but I gestured for him to take a sniff. When he did, he got that what I was paying attention to was the blood of the fox, something that could be a clue to where we were. Foxes with certain colors live in certain places, and if we can find the fox we could figure out where we are and then we could figure out what to do about our location. And we could possibly figure out where our siblings may head due to where we are.

Butch and I follow the trail and scent of the fox all the way to a barely frozen lake. The problem was that the whole fox was not there. The only thing left of the fox was its frozen organs in the frozen lake. And we could both smell the faint smell of the hunters. They must have cleaned the fox and taken it's fun and anything essential with them. Butch and I looked at each other and then trotted around the right edge of the frozen lake.

Once we had made it all the way around the edge we found that there were mostly filled animal prints in the snow. I quickly looked to Butch hoping we would understand that what I was thinking was that we may have just found a clue of at least one of our siblings. The paw print that was mostly filled was the foot print of a wolf, but that's when we saw that there were two prints, one on top of the other. We began to pick our pace up a little and follow the prints.

Maybe we can actually find our siblings soon. I finally have a sign to keep my hopes us. I'll take anything I can get my hands on. Or anything I can get my paws on, either way I'll take anything. I can't wait to see my sisters again.

Butch and I stay on a pretty straight path, until Butch tackles me to the side of our path. We end up rolling down a long slope, and me landing, shifted to my human form, on top of him, shifted into his human form. What is it with me landing on top of him when we fall or roll down slopes? I look at him like he's crazy.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" I say being quiet just in case someone is around and could hear us.

"I don't feel like getting attacked by a damn badger! Those things are terrible and I could see that one was a few miles from us, but that if it turned our way that we'd be screwed because it would smell us. So I got us down wind, accidently literally down wind and down another hill's slope." He explained as my annoyance vanished. He had actually done something that had potentially saved our lives. "Now can you please get off of me? This snow is extremely freezing." He asked as I mouthed 'oh' and got off of him.

"Sorry, for landing on you and making you land in the freezing snow." I said avoiding looking at him. I really don't want to keep standing here; my feet are starting to go numb.

"It's okay. I actually landed on a giant piece of dry bark and so that the only clothing that I have on stayed dry. But we should really get going because my feet are starting to go numb." He said before we both nodded and shifted back. We decided to avoid going back up the slope, just in case the badger wasn't gone yet.

We now had a longer route. The valley that we're going through is extremely bending in design. The higher area where we were before the whole badger situation is straighter due to less bumps to have to walk around. This area is like the grand canyon of all forest valley areas. It has so many giant boulders that Butch and I have to avoid running into.

Butch isn't so bad; he actually isn't bad company to have. I like being stuck with him, he makes me laugh and not worry so much. I can trust that he'll have my back. I can trust that he'll look out for both of us and we'll be safe. I actually don't think I've ever had this much fun, at least not since I was a little girl with a big werewolf sized ego. I'm saying that I like that hunters kidnapped me and separated me from my sister to just hunt me down in some perverted game of hunting. That just makes this situation dangerous, but it also gave me a chance to trust someone other than my sisters. And I guess that's a good thing.

In the middle of my whole revelation of thoughts, I smell a familiar scent. It is a sweet, earthy smell that just calms you down the first time you smell it. It fills my nose and I start to look around, my ears pricking up and my nose searching for where it's coming from. I know that it's somewhere near; I can smell it so clearly. That's when I find the general location that the smell is coming from.

I begin to run the other way. Butch soon follows after me and we quickly slink into a small fox den. Butch quickly pushes himself into the hole with me. But I can tell that he's confused about what it is we're doing. He was about to make as sound when we saw a hunters' boots in front of the hole. We both scooted as far back as we could into the dirt hole.

The hunters were looking for where we had gone. When they finally left Butch and I came out of the hole. I looked dirtier than dirty. My pretty white coat of fur was covered in dirt, dust, mud, and a few other things. Worse was that I felt really dirty, I feel uncomfortable from sitting in dirt, and dust, and walking through mud and snow.

Butch and I quickly began to follow the path in front of us. We need to find a comfortable or at least semi-comfortable place to stay for the night. After about five minutes I smell smoke. I begin to run with Butch following until we see a giant lodge with a small lodge a little ways behind it. Yes, we can possibly stay in a warm lodge-house-thing instead of a broken fur trappers' hut or a small cave or under tree roots that make a tent like structure as a shelter! And even better is that I could possibly take a shower! A nice, warm, relaxing shower! And then I could sit by a fire and stay warm all night long!

Me: You may have noticed that some Taylor Swift lyrics and parts are included. That was just because i was listening to those songs as i was writing and they fit so i included some parts. I said that i am kind of crazy. *Shrug*

Greens: Read and Review!

Me: By the way, Buttercup tends to rescue the idiot-

Butch: HEY!

Me: She tends to save his butt a lot. She just feels like saving him because there is something about him that she admires, she has no idea why. I do of course. Well i'll be working on the next chapters now!
