Authors Notes: I have struggled on this but I made a promise (more to myself) that I would upload more than one chapter a day. So I hope its good.
Not Without A Fight
Rhydian
Its beginning to get harder to follow. The scent, and just when I thought, no, believed I was getting close, we lost the scent. And we had nothing to go on, nothing to work with, no clues what so ever. We were lost, in the middle of the woods with no trail or track to follow. How long had we been running? However long it was, it wasn't enough. Dan and Emma were catching up with me when I started to sniff the air again. Please, just give me a sign, give me something to work with. I'm tempted to use eolas, but with Dan and Emma around that could be an invitation for another good for nothing rowl, and I'm beginning to get sick of having rowls with the Smiths. First Maddy, then Emma, I just hope I don't get into a rowl with Dan. But anyway, eolas is out of the question, no matter how effective it would be to helping us find Maddy. I look at Emma and Dan for a solution.
"Look for anything, a broken twig or foot prints or something." Emma commands, I look at Dan, he has that same look on his face, a look that says 'I won't argue with her, but eolas would be better than searcing for broken twigs.' But of course, if you fight with Emma your asking for trouble. After at least a minute, I'd gotten frustrated, we'd found nothing, and I knew that broken twigs wasn't going to lead us to Maddy, it was just wasting precious moments as we looked for impossible signs. I groaned in frustration loud enough for both the older wolfbloods to hear and look in my direction, glaring over at Emma I crouched down, feeling the earth at my fingertips, "Don't you dare! Rhydian Morris don't you even think about it." Emma snarled.
"Then what!" I shout standing back up, feeling even more frustrated as she disturbs me before I even get the chance. "Searching for twigs, and looking for footprints is not going to do anything but waste time, which, by now we could've at least found out where she is! But we haven't, because we're too busy looking for sticks." I shout, her eyes have changed and for once it doesn't actually intimidate me.
"We will find Maddy, without using that darn, 'eolas'." She tells me with a growl trying to scare me, but I don't feel threatened, even as she closed in on me.
"At the moment eolas is the only way we can find her!" I snap, which shocks her... good, for once I have the upper hand in an argument, it doesn't take long for Emma to huff and walk off into another direction, glaring at me as she sits at a tree stump. Dan walks over to her.
I hear their conversation like they're talking right by my ear, "Emma you know he's right. Eolas is the only possible way to find Maddy at the moment, we've tried to do things the right way, but now we have to trust Rhydian, love." Dan tells his already annoyed wife, she looks up at him and scoffs, yes I heard the scoff.
"I can't believe I'm hearing this. Dan, we do not need eolas. A mother always knows how to find her cub." She tells him. If Maddy had heard the reference then there would be another battle of the alpha females.
"Yes, but Em, Maddy's not a cub anymore. It would be quicker too." Daniel said in a calm tone, and like a whip, Emma turned up at him and glared with her eyes already changed.
"Fine! You both want to use eolas? Use the bloody thing!" she shouts at Dan. Its loud so of course I won't need the advanced wolf hearing, she turns and looks at me with a glare of hatred on her face, which can't be good, because I have never gained that look from Emma. Dan follows her as she walks off in another direction trying to, hopefully, calm down or at least be calmed down by Dan. Then I am left alone, alone to do things my way.
I crouch down and feel the ground with my finger tips, looking up at the sky and I can see everything, I turn my head to the side and wait to see Maddy. And there she is, being dragged out of a dark looking hole in the ground, she squirms and screams and growls and shouts at whoever the ginger boy is – I wasn't told who Fred was – "Don't you dare touch her! Shannon! I'm sorry!" she shouts.
Then I am brought back to reality, with a shocked gasp I take a step back and look in the direction eolas took me to find Maddy, my eyes instantly change color, so it wasn't just Maddy that was in danger, it was Shannon too. Then I snarl his name, "Fred."
Finally, I run at top speed to Maddy.
Authors Notes: Its short, because I had no idea what to do and I didn't want to just do one chapter. Like I said before, things are going to starrt getting messy.
