Okay, as you all saw I am looking for someone to draw a pic of the characters. Send me a message if you do so I can put a link on my profile for the pic. Even if you are not the best artist feel free to try. This chapter takes a darker turn. Nothing M but rape is mentioned, no actual grossness. Don't write don't read. Also a bit of graphic blood. Nothing too serious, just figured I would warn you. Oh, and Rangers are finally coming in a chapter or so. I will see how this chapter goes. Well, enough of my rambling, here is chapter 7 of Ranger and Wolf. As always please R&R my dear readers. I love you all! I would like to thank Fuego Azule, Julz, Aarri, Deltoraquestlover, fairytaleluver, Zulia Girl, and runningcrazy4EVER for their kind reviews. To Zulia Girl I say go for it. I want any pictures I can get. Believe me, I can't draw a stick figure, whatever you can draw is going to be better than what I can. Okay, on with story! ;)
Last quick note. I know I have written a lot of this in third person, but I find that it will be easier on me to write this chapter in first person, mainly Rin.
Chapter 7
Revenge is Painful
The rabbits ears twitched and its head shot up. After a minute of searching the clearing it went back to eating its greens. Unknown to it, there was someone watching it. I had been watching this rabbit for a few minutes and was beginning to grow bored. I slowly brought my bow up in a practiced movement. Before the rabbit could even lift its head, an arrow was protruding from its chest.
I had been living with the pack for what felt like forever. I had tried to keep track at first, but had lost count along the way. My estimate was about two years. I knew my fourteenth birthday had to have past already. The weather was turning cold and it was clear that the winter was already moving in. I could feel in my bones that the first snow would come any day now.
As soon as the arrow was off the string I stood up, knowing I would hit my mark. Sure enough, when I reached the rabbit it was dead. I bent down and carefully picked up the dead creature, being careful not to get blood on my hands. As I straitened up I felt a cold prickling on the back of my neck. It made me feel like I was someone else's prey. I stood straight up making sure not to show any fear and let my eyes roam the clearing.
After a second of close examination I let my shoulders relax and breathed a sigh of relief. No sooner had I relaxed than a dark shape dashed out of the tree line. The shape came hurtling straight at me, knocking me down to the ground. My eyes widened as I recognized the shape above me as being Claude. As soon as I came to this conclusion I felt a bit calmer, until I saw the hostile look in his eyes. His fangs were bared and he looked as if he was about to rip my throat out. His glare was so ferocious that I went limp and bared my throat to him in a sign of submission. I felt as if I was a pup begging for forgiveness and it scared me that Claude could seem like an alpha. Everyone knew that Felix was going to be the alpha after Amarok.
As these thoughts flew through my mind in an instant, Claude leaned down and growled into my ear. "Finally I have caught you alone. You don't know how hard it is to catch you away from that damn Felix. He follows you around like a lost pup. I don't see why he is to become the next alpha. I am stronger in every way. The pack will be destroyed if we have him as our leader. Since there is not much I can do to change this fact I am going to take away every good thing he has. Since you seem to bring him joy I will take you away from him as well. If I can take away is lover, then maybe the others will see that if he can't even protect his own female then he can't protect his pack."
At this I stared at him unable to believe my ears. Had he just said I was Felix's mate? Felix was like my big brother, not like my boyfriend. How could he even assume something like that? Claude must have gone insane. "I don't know what you are talking about! Felix is my pack brother not my mate. I'm sorry you believe Felix will become such a terrible leader. I think he will do great as the alpha." As I finished speaking I knew I had said the wrong thing.
Claude's eyes darkened and he gave a low growling sound. I wished I had not said anything; I was now going to regret this. Claude lowered his fangs towards my exposed throat. However, before he could get me in a position that I had absolutely no power, I twisted and was able to yank my dagger out of my belt. Quickly, I spun around and stabbed the knife into Claude's foot. His pained howl echoed through the trees. I took the chance I had obtained to escape his grasp. Once loose I turned tail and ran, literally.
I didn't hesitate in my running to bother looking back and seeing if he was following me. I just ran as fast as I could towards our pack's den. As I came in site of the cave, I began to slow my haphazard headlong run. As I entered the cave I noticed that the only person in the cave besides me was Felix. I had thought he was out with the pack doing some hunting. However, he was standing before me, pacing in clear anxiety.
As soon as I entered the cave his head shot up and his eyes locked on me. The next second he was sniffing me from head to toe and licking every bit of skin he could. After a minute of this, my breath had evened out enough for me to tell him what had happened. As I finished explaining, I looked up into Felix's eyes. However, instead of sympathy I saw confusion.
What he said next made me more confused than before. "Rin, I am sure it wasn't anything as serious as you said. You probably were just surprised by him and your mind made up these insane ideas in your confusion. My brother has no problem with me becoming alpha. If he did he would confront me, not do something as horrible as that." With that he looked away from me, clearly agitated.
What he had said hit me as hard as an arrow. How could he not believe me? I had believed he was the one person I could always rely on, yet here he was betraying me. I was so enraged and hurt that I turned away and headed over to my corner. I grabbed my few belongings, a backpack, cloak, one change of clothing that was too small, my bow, quiver, arrows, dagger, and a small herb bag. Once I had arranged everything in their places I turned around and walked out of the cave. I didn't even stop until I had passed the scent markers at the edge of our territory. Around a mile out of our territory, I finally let the tears come and broke down into hysterical sobs.
I had no home, no family, and nowhere to go. It felt like I was in the same situation as when my mother had died. I was once again alone, and it was not a pleasant feeling. Once I had calmed down, I stood up straight and began walking in a straight line. I had no idea where to go, but I had to start moving in some direction. So I walked on through the woods.
AN. Okay, so I know I was late, sorry. Long weekend. I will try better to update. High school is a real pain, soooo much work, ugh. Anyways, PLEASE, someone draw a pic! I really want some sorta picture for my fanfic and I am a terrible artist so I need you guys to help me. See you next time. As always R&R. Luv u all! Ciaousu!
