~Chapter 7~

I growled all the next morning. Not even Cheza came to walk beside me. It really didn't help that it was raining like a bitch. My fur was so matted and wet I could have sworn it was slowing me down. I was behind everyone, even Yuru was walking faster than me... And managing to play with Toboe at the same time. It just wasn't a good day... Yuru didnt even say good morning to me like she normally did. I felt amazingly more sad than I thought I would after giving my pack over to Kiba. Yuru hadn't even noticed and Kamu hadn't left Kiba's side all morning.

I hadnt felt this alone in along time. I had always thought that with those two around I couldn't feel lonely, but as it seems, they moved on. Not to far away, but enough so I couldnt be a part of it. And to hide my sadness and loneliness, I covered it up with anger and agression. Loneliness wasn't what wolves were made for, no matter how many actually were. Wolves were meant for pack life, as much as humans needed family.

I trudged on through my anger and sadness. No need to slow down everyone when we needed to get to the only place that mattered. Paradise. And with that in mind I picked up my pace. We needed to get there. I needed to get there. I may not have been one to care before, but now that we have the Flower Maiden, Cheza, our goal felt so near. It excited me, and I'm sure that everyone else was feeling the same. With ever step we got closer to Paradise.

Kisu slowed down and walked next to me. I ignored him the best I could as we traveled on. He may have been my blood brother, but that didnt mean that I wanted to talk to him, especially in the mood I was in. He whimpered slightly and nudged my side. I growled a warning, but he nudged me again. I turned my head and caught his neck in my teeth. I heard him yelp in surprise as I bit down harder, drawing a little blood. Every one stopped ahead of us and watched. Kisu took a swipe at my head and I let go of him. I bared my teeth at him, blood dripping from my canines. My breathes came out in pants as he dropped his head.

"Kana...This one is worried about you..." I turned my head to look at Cheza. Just looking at her made my stomach twist with calm. It irked me. I didnt want to be calm. I didnt want anything. I just needed to be alone. I growled at them all. Telling them that if anyone followed me I wouldnt be happy, at all. I took off into the rain, leaving them behind me.I could hear chesza's small whimper, but I went on, and i knew that Kiba might have my head later. It didnt matter. I needed to get away from them, from the loneliness they made me feel.

Rain pelted against my face as I raced through the forest we had been walking through. My eyes blurred with tears and rain, mud smeared my paws as they pounced on the ground, propelling me forward. The rain picked up the faster I went, and soon I had to slow down so I could see were I was going. Tree's surrounded me from every angle as I stopped. I panted, trying to calm my still, fast moving heart. I dropped to my stomach and rolled to myside as I calmed myself down. I needed to think clearly.

I didn't have to let Kiba be in charge... I could have Kept my pack... But I didn't. I'm sure that if I hadn't then Kamu would have been upset with me. So I did what I had to do to keep her happy. It wasn't like Yuru wasn't happy either. She would play with Toboe all day every day, some day fall in love with him, maybe have a litter. It didn't matter. They were happy, so I should be too... But why was I so upset over it. I let out a soft whimper as I pulled on my mask, hoping that my human self would bring me comfort, however is did nothing. I laid there, letting the rain drip down onto my soaking, sore body. Eventually I got up again and started heading back the way I came, trying to sniff out the path that I had taken.

It wasn't till I passed the same tree for the third time that I decided I was lost. I could admit it, but admitting it would make me feel all that more alone. I ground my teeth together as the rain picked up again, and the sky got darker. It wasn't long before the sound of thunder rolled over the sky, little flashes of lightning sprouting from clouds. It was still a good few miles away, so I continued on, trying to find my way back to the others.

I couldn't pick up any scent of lunar flowers. As the thunder grew louder and closer, I found myself beginning to worry about myself. It wasn't like I was afraid of thunder but being alone during a real storm wasn't pleasant. I wandered on through the forest, trying too see any of the others, or maybe even pick up the scent of flowers. Nothing. I stopped next to a tall tree to try and get my bearings. As I caught my breath a shot of lightning struck out of the sky and blasted the tree. It was soon alight with flames. I jumped back with a startled yelp.

Fire consumed the tree within minutes, drying out the bark. The fire spread from branch to branch, licking and teasing the trees surrounding it. The colors of the flames mixed with the dark colors of the smoke. The danced through the air in a breathless tango. I turned to run, but found myself staring at another tree, caught in the fires grasp. I spun, looking for a way out of this mess, but I was stuck. I felt blocked, like I was trapped in a cage. That scared me. I was alone and trapped. I needed my pack now, and they were gone, I couldn't find them in this storm. The most likely left me. Alone a caged... Alone... I curled up on the forest floor, fire moving ever so slowly to me. I could feel the heat, and it was starting to burn. I whimpered and hid my face in my arms as I went into the fetal position. A crack sounded through the air, and one of the trees began to fall towards me. I didn't move, I couldn't. I was exhausted. My body couldn't move even if I tried. The tree crashed right beside me, sending embers flying in all directions.

I could feel them burning me, warming my blood. But I couldn't move. Alone. Caged.

"KANA!"

Nothing...
