??? POV:

The wind was blowing once again in the mountains; the snow was thick, and stained with blood. I had led a group hunt today while; Skop was back at the den taking care of our latest litter. Mating season had passed twice and we were the only members in the pack that didn't mate ever since we lost are precious, Larka. Skop was heart broken when he couldn't find her after the snow storm. A human was high in the mountains and had screamed, he was being attacked by a bear, and it had caused an avalanche. Unfortunately, Skop's hunting party was near the area where the avalanche occurred. The group had been separated and Larka fell off the cliff with snow dragging her down. Skop looked every where for her…but, in the end, he couldn't find her. After a month we had given up and decided the say she was dead, but I didn't believe that. Something was telling me that my little Larka was still alive, but Skop thought otherwise.

We were heading back towards the den with a large hunk of meat for the pups, and my mate. We were close and my muzzle was soaked wet with blood, the crimson liquid stained my lips, along with the others. Our paws padded gently along the snow as a limb was being dragged through the snow. We were all quiet as the wind blew violently, snow stuck to our pelts, the wind whistled in my ears, and we were full of goat. We had caught an old mountain goat and ripped off a leg, the thickest one on the body. We stepped on our territory, I told the others to take the food in the den for the pups; I looked around and saw Skop looking off into the distance. His head was raised high into the sky as he looked at the stars. I trotted over to him and stood by his side, I let out a small growl and said "Skop…what do you see up there?" I turned to look at him in the corner of my eye; his yellow eyes glowed against his black pelt.

But in his eyes, I saw no life as if he was dead, but I know there was life within them. He turned to look at me, he licked my muzzle and said "I see something, Tanjuu…I think its, Larka." He was seeing a form…a shape of our daughter in the stars, but something was telling me different. I turned to look at my mate and said "I don't think she's dead, Skop. She's down there in that city; we must go find her—"I was cut off with a loud, vicious growl from Skop "No, Tanjuu! Larka fell off that cliff, the snow carried her down a cliff I saw it myself. She is not she is dead! I saw her die before my very eyes…right before me, Tanjuu." My ears were pressed flat against my skull, what was he saying? Had he gone mad?

"I can't do this anymore, Skop" I said backing away from him. Skop looked at me confused "what? Can't take what anymore?" I closed my eyes tightly and my lips curled into a snarl "you! I can't take you anymore, Skop! You're depressed and I'm starting to think you've gone mad, it's been two years now Skop…two years! I can't take this anymore Skop…I just can't. I believe our daughter is still alive, but you…you are just so negative about it! You believe she is dead…I can't." I looked at my mate, he looked hurt even more. "Tanjuu…please…" I heard him say in a whisper, I shook my head and backed away "I'm leaving to look for our daughter, Skop. I'll look by myself" I turned around and began to walk away. I heard Skop following after me and he was growling "I thought we were going to mate this year! You said we would, I've waited for you for too long my love…please…just, before you go…please." I stopped and everything was silent, I growled and remembered I had promised him that I would mate with him this year. If it was the only thing that would make him slightly happy…I would do it.

Larka POV:

I stood in the gun course and looked at Torn, he had a small smirk plastered on his face, "alright Larka, today we'll see how well you can handle a gun. Take the gun course and try to get 80000 points. If you can get more, I'll be pretty impressed." I nodded my head and held two guns in both of my hands. Instead of a little pea shooter, Torn gave me two mini-pea shooters. In both of my hands were two small, long, broken-butterflies. They were black with small, blue disks on the side of them that held the bullets. (Play Resident Evil 4 and you'll know where I got the broken butterfly idea) I wanted to impress Torn, that was my goal…I wanted him to be impressed.

Miku sat on my shoulder and looked down at my new weapons, she had a glint in her eye and said "WOW those are way better than the one, Krew gave us! I wonder why, Torn gave us new guns." The alarm went off and the wooden figures of metal heads began to appear. I began to shoot the dummies, scraps of wood flew every where, and the guns had quit the kick in them. I kicked the KG boxes and found them full of ammo. I reloaded the guns, shoot again and Miku sat on my shoulder, she was laughing insanely as her blue lock flying back and forth. We were at the end of the course and the last dummy stood in front of me, I aimed one of my guns at it and fired. The last thing I saw was a cloud of smoke, wood flying in the air, and the alarm going off.

I lowered my weapon and a smirk crawled upon my lips as I walked forward, I walked out of the course and looked to see what my score was. 90000 points, well that was quit the number, I turned to look at Torn and saw his jaw dangling, he was gapping at my score and finally he closed his mouth, he looked at me and gave me the same glare he did this morning. "You're pretty good, Larka we've been wanting a new Sharpshooter," I looked down at my weapons and back up at, Torn. "Hey…I had a gun I received from, Krew. I left it at my apartment the day I attacked that KG, is it a possibility…that maybe, we could go there and get my clothes and gun?" I was kind of tired of wearing baggy shorts; I need some pants or something. "Actually we can't, it seems the day you became a wanted criminal the KG found out where you lived, went to your apartment, and raided it. They took all your belongings, including the gun…sadly. So we can't go back…they'll know if you came back too." My brow twitched and I nodded my head, guess I was stuck with shorts and tank tops.

Miku patted me on top of the head and back up at, Torn "hmm…maybe we can get it back, besides…we can't go back to the Hip Hog Saloon, Krew might rat us out." I looked up at her in the corner of my eye "no, Miku, it's okay it doesn't matter. We'd probably get caught and killed or something" I replied. I began to walk over to Torn and gave him a bored expression "so what else, Tattoo-wonder? You want me to do some more training or something?" I looked at his face; in my opinion…he had some handsome features. I wanted to kiss him…just once, but I had to resist I couldn't let myself get too carried away. But, it feels as if I'm already lost.

Torn POV:

I watched her carefully and saw the beauty she held in her face, her features, and those guns just made it even better. She had cute, small, pink lips that beckoned for me to kiss them…just a little peck. I resisted the urge to do such a thing, I looked at the rat and thought about how lucky she was to be able to hear Larka moaning from this morning. I didn't hear the whole thing but when I walked in her room at six in the morning, I only heard her moan once. I immediately stood there and bit down on my bottom lip as I continued to listen. When it finally stopped, I wanted to hear more of it. "No actually, we're done for today…by the way, you might be paired up with Jak, the guy you met the other day. You might actually be able to go on some missions," she looked at me as if she were dazed and I saw the rat looking down at the guns, she crawled down her arm, and grabbed one of the guns. She held it in her blue paws and pretended to aim it at something and when she was done, she put it back in Larka's hand.

Miku crawled back up to her shoulder and looked at Larka with slight disgust, "hey Larka, wake up!" She said loudly in her ear. Miku had startled Larka and caused her to jump; suddenly she tripped and landed on top of me. I felt us both fall to the ground with a loud thud, she had landed on top of and we looked at each other for God knows how long. Her long black hair draped over our faces as we were only inches away, oh how I wanted to fill the gap. I felt myself lifting off of the ground and inching closer to her face and I could feel her hot breath on my face. I let out a sigh, grabbed the nap of her neck, and closed the gap between us. What I wanted to feel, how I wanted it so bad. I could finally feel it, her soft lips, and her sweet breath blowing on my face.

I wrapped my free arm around her waist trying to deepen the kiss, but to my surprise she was kissing me back. I licked her bottom lip with the tip of my tongue wanting an entrance into her mouth, she granted me my wish…slightly. She only opened her mouth a bit and I tried to shove my tongue inside, but it wouldn't fit. I growled and began to bite on her bottom lip; I bit down hard enough to make her gasp and took that opportunity. My tongue entered her mouth and explored every corner I could find and heard her moan into my mouth. I felt my face get hot and took the chance to flip, I was on top now. I heard her moan again as I rubbed my tongue against hers, it was full of bliss and I wanted more. I felt her wrap her arms around my neck and pressed her breast against my chest.

I released the nap of her neck and slid it down her chest, her breasts felt firm and fine. My God did they feel nice, I pulled away from her gasping for air and looked down at her and twitched. What I saw was a dazed Larka, she was breathless and smiling wide; she looked around the room and then up at me. I smirked and felt something soft brushing against my hand and felt it being dragged along her body.

Larka POV:

I pulled Torn's hand up to my face and looked at it; I then kissed his finger tips and let his hand go. I felt it rest on my chest and looked down at it, the warmth radiating off of it and onto my skin. I looked up at him again and felt his hand sliding down my chest and down into my shirt. I felt Torn grasp my right breast and squeezed it gently, he ran his index finger on my nipple and suddenly, he stopped. He pulled his hand out of my shirt and got off of me; I watched him and began to sit up myself. "Torn?" I whispered before standing up; I watched him carefully as he watched me as well. "Larka..." he said, I was confused and looked around the room for Miku.

"Geez are you two done making out? I thought you were going to eat each other's faces." I heard her say, she was hiding behind a KG box and I simply rolled my eyes, and turned to look at her. She crawled up my pant leg and onto my shoulder, I opened my mouth to speak I heard the entrance open. I turned to look and saw Jak, what was he doing here? "Hey…it's you, Larka right?" I nodded my head once and then he looked at Torn "what're you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be back at the hide out?" Torn only glared at him, and said "I've been training Larka here, I was thinking of pairing her up with you. She'll be useful to you."

Useful, is he saying I'm some kind of tool? I turned my attention to Jak "well me and Dax here were going to go take care of something in the forest for Sig," Jak suddenly turned his attention back to me. "She can come with us…if you want her to" I felt Miku jump off my shoulder and heard her walking around while I looked intently at Jak "what business do you have in those God forsaken woods?" I asked him with a slight growl. Jak narrowed his eyes and said "you remember Sig right? He said there was some Metal Heads in there…and he believes they have a leader. He's seen some giant dog walking around with them. They don't seem to bother it;" my eyes widen at his words. A giant dog wondering around in the woods, could it be? No it couldn't be! They lived high in the mountains far away from the humans. The mountains were our sanctuary, we protected them from the humans, we raided them of the humans, and we certainly didn't appreciate them being here.

"Alright I'll go with you" I said narrowing my eyes. I heard Miku walking back over to me and felt her jump up onto my shoulder, I looked at her in the corner of my eye and asked "where's my other gun?" Miku blinked and jumped off my shoulder again. She reappeared on my shoulder holding the gun "heh I grabbed it when you and T—"I silenced her with a growl and took the gun. "Thanks" I said "you're welcome" she replied; I began to walk over to Jak and he started to head for the exit, I stopped after I was sure Jak was out of hearing distance. I opened my mouth to speak "why'd you stop?" Torn walked over to me and mumbled "what you did the other day…it kind of freaked me out; I remembered it and it made me stop. I'm sorry" I nodded my head I could see how he would find that awkward "I'm sorry…it was in my nature, I can't help it; I didn't want to in the first place, but the blood shed didn't help please forgive me" Torn chuckled and suddenly kissed me on the forehead "already forgiven."

I blushed and smiled slightly and turned away from him "I'll see you later" I said and ran after Jak out the door. He was waiting for me in a Zoomer and I crawled in with Miku sitting in my lap. Just like last time, we both made small talk and finally we were at the forest entrance. I had my guns ready as we walked through and the normal forest smell hit us in the face. "Yuck, the wild" I heard Miku say as she looked around "I'll say" I heard Daxter say, I only rolled my eyes they had no idea what it was like to live in the wild, how wonderful it actually was. I heard gun shots and dashed towards the source, "Larka wait!" I heard Jak say as he chased after me.

I had led us into the pit of it all— where the Metal Heads lay in the forest. Kick, shoot, cut, tare, scream, growl I had done it. In the corner of my eye I saw a Metal Head aiming at me, I turned to shot it and nailed it right between the eyes and suddenly I felt pain in my arm, pain? I couldn't feel pain I had managed to kill the Metal Heads that surrounded me! I looked down at my arm and saw it was covered in blood. Miku had called for Jak and he came right away, he pulled out his Comm. Link and called for help. Was I that hurt? Was it that bad? I saw another Metal Head and fired at it, I got it right in the chest when suddenly I fell to the ground. My head was spinning as I looked around me and all I saw was Metal Head corpse and wolves—wait a wolf?! "Larka, my God what happened?!" I heard the wolf say. I squinted my eyes and saw it wasn't a wolf in fact it was a woman with shoulder length dirty blond hair, she had pale skin, blue sea foam green eyes, and red lips. She was curvy and I felt a hand being pressed against my arm. "Larka Jesus what happened here Jak?!" I heard Torn's voice, Torn! Torn was here, Torn would help…but before he could, I fell forward passed out. I had lost too much blood.

Torn POV:

I looked down at Larka's limp body and picked her up; Jak took care of what ever Metal Heads were left. I had to get Larka out of her she was hurt, the woman that was with them followed after me along with Buru by her side "what happened to my daughter? How did this happen?!" She panicked, so I guess this woman was Larka's mother. "Ma'am just listen to me we need to get your daughter out of her fast before she loses anymore blood, just get in the zoomer and we'll take her to a hospital!" The woman nodded her head and jumped into the zoomer. I got in next with Larka pressed against my side; I could feel the warm liquid drip on my skin. Blood—Larka had tasted mine only a few days ago, now Larka was bleeding and hurt. I looked at the woman as we drove maybe she could tell me some things about Larka. The woman had a hand in Larka's lap as she leaned against me, her black hair pressed against my shoulder. As we exited the forest I whispered her named "Larka…"

Larka POV:

My eye lids fluttered open slowly as the smell of old people, medicine, and other things filtered into my nose. I looked around and saw that the room was all white, in the corner sat the woman and Torn. They were both talking: "Torn, Larka only did that because…well, it's a normal thing when her hormones start to become more active. It's what our kind do, we test each other and if we're both worth it…then we'll stay with that person. I guess you're worth it she's obviously staying with you." The woman spoke with a gentle voice; it made me feel relaxed but then Torn spoke "so what she did…she was only looking for a mate? And she chose me as her mate?" Torn seemed confused, the started to chuckle. "You obviously have some interest in my daughter, I do approve of you…but her father, he might not. He always wanted her to mate with someone in the pack, but every time her hormones became active enough for mating…she wouldn't look at the other males in our pack, they were strong and handsome yes, but she wasn't interested in them." Did the woman just call me her "daughter"? Is this woman my…my mother?! I moved around in the bed that I was in so I could sit up.

They noticed me and Torn rushed over to my side, he placed a hand on my back and another one on my other arm "lay down hun, you shouldn't be up walkin' around yet." I nodded my head and opened my mouth to speak "I won't." I looked at the woman that was talking to torn, she had a warm smile on her face and it was so welcoming…it reminded me of…"mom…is that you?" I asked as I could feel tears forming in the corner of my eyes. "Yes…Larka?" The woman said, I could feel a warm liquid run down the side of my face…I was happy…I was crying tears of joy. The woman stood up and rushed to my side and sat down next to me stroking my face, "I thought you were dead…when we couldn't find you; I thought we lost you forever. Your father was so hurt…when he couldn't find you he couldn't forgive himself for losing you."

I only looked at her and at her extended ears, I looked like my mother…our ears looked the same, our eyes, our skin, we were like twins. I looked over at Torn and smiled sweetly at him and he smiled back. I looked at my mother and said "I missed you so much…I thought I had lost you and dad long ago…I tried to return to the mountains, but there were too many Metal Heads." She smiled and mouthed 'it's okay' and hugged me tightly. "You aren't getting out of her any time soon; hopefully by next week you'll be out of here. You got attacked by a Metal Head and luckily your mom was here to take it down before it could finish you off." I nodded my head and heard a loud yawn, I looked towards the sound and at the end of the bed was Miku, she was waking up from a nap. I giggled and looked at the three—I felt at home around them…why, I couldn't explain it but I felt at home with my mother and Torn, I felt as if Torn accepted some early invitation…they were talking in the mating ritual I did on him, maybe…maybe he accepted that. I looked up at him and into his icy blue eyes and motioned for him to come over to me, he did so and I placed my hands on either side of his face and inched closer to him. I kissed him gently on the lips and he kissed back, I heard my mother get off the bed and leave the room along with Miku.

There we stayed like that kissing each other ever so gently, suddenly I heard Torn say "I accept" I smiled wide and pulled away from him and said "accept what?" He chuckled and sat on the bed next to me "your apology…I didn't really accept it, but…I think I do now" I only laughed "you only accept because I nearly lost my life." He glared at me and said "no…I really mean it" he kissed me again and I felt…alive. He was actually accepting me for who I was, not for what I was. I felt whole.

(Yeah so this might be kind of a gay chapter but it took a while 'because I had writers block. Anyways hope you like the chapter…I didn't want to started the lemon yet…even though I'd love to start it, but it won't be until the very last chapter –laughs evilly- :D

Larka: You'll start it sooner or later…

Me: Shut up.

Larka: What eva, at least I'll be able to be in one of your sick pornos
