Chapter 5

Nephew of Mine

I snorted and shook my coat nerves as a puppy in a dark jungle with predators at every turn. I sniffed the air and hid deeper in the tree. Michelle was coming. My eyes narrowed at the sight of her. She didn't look up, just walked pass me and to Dave's house. She stomped her way inside and I thought the house was going to have lava flowing out of it. I pointed my ears to the house and began to listen to the harsh.

"Dave, I need to speak to you. Now," Michelle ordered.

"Get out of here. You are not welcomed in this house," Dave hissed.

"Oh yeah and you think I like being in a place that smells like the devil's dog."

"The werewolves are a spiritual creature that have the right to live as much as the next person."

"Everything we know has the right, but those damn wolves are killers. Something that should be killed themselves."

"Leave."

"Then tell that boy of yours to keep off of my land." I growled softly. No one talks about Tommy like that and no one talks to Chief Dave like that. My tail lashed in the tree as I jumped down to the bushes.

She stomped out of his house and rode away in her jeep. My eyes narrowed at her jeep. I growled and watched her drive away. They came out and watched her drive away. "Thank you for your help, Dave," Allura said. He nodded his head and they walked to their lions.

"So we're going to Aerial now, right," Daniel asked.

He reminds of Hawk, really impatient. "Gillian," Jay whispered.

I gasped and jumped on top of him. "God, Jay. I can't believe you would sneak up on me like that."

"Sorry. Your father called, he wants us to meet him on his home planet of Aerial."

"Let's go. I'll ask Dave tonight."

"Alright."

We flew off to Aerial and when we got there, humans were out. The force was, somehow, faster at getting here than us. We even left before them and took the shorter route. We flew behind the temple and began t badly panic.

"This is bad, very bad," I whispered.

"Really? I hadn't notice," Jay snapped.

I glared at him. "You want to shut up?"

That's when a roar came. We looked over and saw a huge pride of lions in front of us. "I'll shut up and run at the same time. See you."

Jay ran off from the temple and galloped to the canyon. I followed in close range. The lions roared from behind us and we barely made to the canyon. We flew to the bottom where there's a river cutting through middle. I caught up to Jay as we slowed to a stop. Our hearts raced. You could hear the beating as they tried to slow down. I looked at Jay's rusty brown fur. "Thanks… for… leaving… me… back… there," I growled puffing out breaths between words.

He snorted and shook his pelt. We jumped into the river and walked looking for the great tree. Soon lions were everywhere once more. There's a reason for our little fear of lions. They break our wings and sometime rip them off. Even if new wings grow back, it is very painful. It's like being on fire with broken bones. We'd fly but holding out your wings with lions equals a crash landing. So that's why the four main packs moved us to Arus away from breathing lions.

We jumped over them and ran for our lives. We slowed looking back behind us and they were coming closer and closer. "Split up and meet at the Great Tree." Jay nodded and ran another way. I pushed my legs faster and faster my eyes were blinded by fear and I couldn't tell that the lion riders were walking towards with the voltron force. Once I saw them, I was even more scared then ever before. I reared up and opened my wings. The riders moved the lions along- away from me- as Chief Kalon jumped off his lion.

He walked towards me. "Chief Kalon, what are you doing? That creature can kill you," Lance said.

"Relax, Lance. She is just frighten by the chase of the lions," he said.

"But she jumped up," Vince said with a gulp at the end.

"She didn't see us. The lions chasing her blinded her with fear. Hush now, young one. You are with friends." His tone was calming and relaxing. I went back to all fours.

"I didn't know you knew werewolves," Keith said.

"I bet you didn't know that Dave was also my brother," Kalon laughed.

"No," they whispered.

Oh burn. I knew that and I'm young then you. I began panting and snickering.

"What is she doing," Larmina asked.

"Laughing at you."

Gillian. Thank the stars you're okay. I looked up and saw Oak running down to meet me.

Hi, daddy.

What happened to you? Jay said you two had a run in with a pride.

Yeah.

"Who is the really big who," Pidge gulped.

"Oak. Leader of the pack here and her father."

They backed away as I followed Oak to the Great Tree. He talked about his eldest daughter, my only sister. Her name was Snowflake. She had a pure white coat and a pure good heart. She loved everyone and everyone loved her. But two weeks she passed away, that's why Oak is always visiting to see how I'm doing. He told me she had a child before she died during birth and he has the signs of his aunt. His name was Fang, named after my grandfather who died to protect me from the death of wolves who didn't like Jay or me.

Dad took me to meet him and he was like me and the rest of the pups. I took him without a second to think. Jay had already flew home for the late night portals, leaving me to talk with my nephew.

"Gillian, why must I say good bye to my pack mates," Fang asked.

"Because you are different from them. Wolves, like me, all had to go through this when we were your age," I answered.

"Why?"

"Because we are different from the other wolves in the pack we were born in. In fact, all of the wolves in my pack are from the four main packs."

"What are the four main packs?"

"Well, the one you and me were born in the Earth pack. They control everything that is the source of life. Oak is their leader and my father, but you already knew that. Next there's the water pack. You've met Ocean right? The she-wolf who looks golden in the sun light?"

He nodded.

"She's the leader of the only wolves who can breath on both land and water. They live on that water filled planet. I'd tell the name but I forget the name. Next there are the element wolves. Have you ever met Volcano?"

"Nope."

"He's the leader of wolves that can bend the elements of the galaxy. I always thought that was cool when I was growing up. Lastly there's Tiger, he's the leader of wolves that have magic powers."

"They're wizards?"

"Yeah, you could say that. Then there is you and me. We have the wings of a bird. We're the only wolves that can breath in space."

"Really?"

"Yep."

"Do you think we'll become apart of the four main packs?"

"Then they'd be the five main packs, but yes. In good time."

"So where's the camp?"

"You'll see. You'll see. We have to fly there."

I grabbed his scruff and flew in the blue sky. Fang was looking down the whole time as the riders checked their borders. This is going to be fun.
