OMG sorry for the late update I didn't think it would've taken this long to write this PLUS I've been practicing so much on my Cello my fingers started stinging (I have like back-to-back performances in two different places and an audition to practice for -_-) and plus some collage courses that are really kicking me right now so that equals: No time to write. So for this I made this extra long it was supposed to be in two parts but this would have been a little too short so to say I'm sorry for the late update enjoy the long chapter… until I can rack my brain around for a 3rd chapter. :)

Saving Roxas
Chapter 2
Save Me
A blonde wolf tackled the hunter to the ground right when the trigger was pulled causing the bullet to be redirected to the ground instead of the younger wolf.
"Heh, you think you can play savoir huh, wolfy? Well I have some news for you, you scumbag I'm not going down without a fight!" The man picked up his fallen gun while the wolf was still on him and jerked the gun to hit the wolf but the wolf jumped away swiftly growling deep in its throat with its pearly white canines glistening in the moonlight and its ears thrown back flat against its head as he eyed the man before him… Then he realized something,
"Wait…Did he just…call me a scumba- oh HELL no!" The wolf's growls became more threatening as he once again jumped the man back to the ground when he was reloading his gun, why he waited this long he had no idea. Once he pushed him to the ground the wolf clawed at his face leaving a long scar on his right cheek, then feeling daring he scraped out the mans left eye without mercy. The blonde wolf backed off the man smirking to himself as he surveyed his handiwork on the hunter, said hunter, was rolling around in the snow screaming, throwing curses with thick blood rolling down his hands and onto staining the pristine white snow hands as he clutched his eye socket.
Not wanting to waste anymore time the wolf ran picking up the fainted pup in between his jaws in the process and running into the thick forest. After about 12 minutes of running non-stop through the forest jumping logs and fallen tree's alike, and crossing into different territories to get home the wolf stopped abruptly just realizing what was off about this territory…Something that he couldn't really pinpoint… He knew he was somewhere on Upper Xaznic Mountain but…Something was off he didn't know what that's when he looked down on the snow seeing thousands of abnormal big paw prints it almost looked like…
"CRAP SABERTOOTH!" So that was what it was, the big long fanged-dangerous-murderous-supposed-to-be-extinct 42 million years ago-ice aged cats- territory…Great. The lost wolf turned around in a circle his big blue eyes scanning his surroundings just to see if a Saber was around him just waiting to jump at him; not seeing any he let out a sigh of relief and continued walking briskly through the tuff rapid terrain, how could they live in part of the mountain he had no idea. It was mostly ragged rocks and stones and dead fallen trees! How was anyone supposed to get through without jabbing either their foot, hove, or paw in a rock or pricked by sharp stones?!
SNAP!
The wolf whirled around as fear coursed through his veins but nothing was there, odd. He could have sworn he heard something behind him, then he looked under his front paw and saw a twig under it that made the snap, feeling absolutely stupid for scaring himself half to death the wolf turned back around and kept on walking only to hit into something big and furry, and very muscular if I might add… He didn't remember that being there the wolf looked up only to be faced with not one but 3 Sabertooth's; their long fangs resting on their jaws or more like below their jaws with deep growls coming from their throats ready for a deafening roar to slip out. The poor blonde wolf eyes almost popped out of his scull his ears where pressed freighting down flat on his head, his once flowing tail was curled in between his legs; the only things running through his mind where
Oh…
My…
God…
I'm…
So…
Freakin…
DEAD!
Chuckling nervously the wolf started backing up when the Saber's started inching towards him but that was short lived as the wolf's backside hit into a tree…He was done for, that was until a thought came to him of his mate.
"AXEL HELP ME!" He screamed in his head to his mate using telepathy that occurred when he mated to the other wolf.
"AHHH!"
"Axel?"
"What the hell Ventus! Why'd you have to scream like a banshee?! I was currently having the best dream in my life," Ventus could almost hear the pout in his lovers voice and he also seemed to notice that he dreamt a lot about things…Such as doing naughty things to him, that's for another time.
"Can you come get me I'm…uh, kinda stuck?"
"What do you mean "you're stuck"? The last time you were stuck was when you thought you where small enough to go through a hole in the tree and ended up getting stuck in it. What did you do this time?"
"The last time that was an accident and you know it! I merely SLIPED on a wet leaf,"
"Uh-huh riiight,"
"Its true!"
"Didn't you say you where stuck or something? I would really like to get back to that dream I was having until somebody decided to interrupt it and also where are you you've been gone for almost the whole day?"
"…"
"Ven?"
"S-sabertooth territory…"
Him and Axel have been mates for over 6 years they met during mating season when female wolves where going into heat and them being horny and not attracted to females met in River Falles where they concealed their love and became mates the very next day. It seemed like a huge rush for them when they just met the day before and split ties with each other, then mating season came around again both running into each other at River Falles there they confessed that they couldn't stop thinking about each other and once again concealed their love and became mates, but now Axel felt like he wanted to strangle Ventus.
"A-Axel?" Ventus said into his mind after a long pause of silence, he physically cringed when Axel's voice did come back into his mind.
"WHAT THE HELL?! VENTUS HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET DOWN THERE?! I SPECIFICALLY SAID NOT TO GO DOWN THERE!" Axel's screaming almost made him whimper at the growl that came after his…err statement? But he refrained not giving the Saber's the thought that they actually scared him cause he wasn't scared…not in the slightest.
"It was an accident I swear! I was saving-"
"Who were you saving now?! It better not be a damn squirrel like the last time Ventus! I SWEAR TO GOD IF IT IS I-" Axel stopped his rant and took a deep breath he was sure if he didn't stop he would have said something that he will really regret. "Stay there and don't try anything stupid…I love you," Ventus beamed when he heard his mate say he loved him it always made him fuzzy inside.
"I wont, I love you too…And can you please hurry I don't feel like being catnip right now,"
"Yeah, yeah I'm coming,"
Axel's POV
Axel bolted out of his and Ventus den out into the snowy winter air; he cursed everything around him (mostly Ventus) for making him come out of such a nice dream and out into the cold... to save Ventus from a Sabertooth... Peachy. Growling deep in his throat, Axel ran as fast as he could through the snow to Lower part of Xaznic Mountain to the other forest called Vibes Myrkurs. Legend had it that once you go in you never come out, even if you just walked 3 steps in and then decided to turn around to get out, 3 steps is like a hundred miles away. About 6 years ago during the time Axel and Ventus mated, a group of Ghost Hunters went in to the forest just to see if the legend was true about Demons, Axel and Ventus tried to stop them from going in but they promptly ignored them and walked into the forest anyway. That was the last time Axel and Ventus saw the group.
Finally Axel ran straight through the forest without stopping, he's been in this forest many of times he actually has friends that live in it. Once he came to a certain tree and barked up at it, until a few minutes of not getting a reply Axel started to get antsy.
"TERRA, ZACK, LEON GET YOUR BUTTS DOWN HERE!"
"What the heck man? Do you not know what time it is?" A midnight black wolf jumped down out of the tree with his ears lopsided, he let out a huge yawn showing all of his prize canines.
"Yes, I know what time it is Zack, I need you guys help,"
"What happened now?" It was more of a commanding voice came and two brunette wolves jumped out of the tree landing gracefully next to Zack.
"Ventus decided he would go to the Sabertooth territory,"
"HE WHAT?!" The wolves said in unison, which woke them up.
"That's what I said! He said he was 'saving' someone,"
"Well, we better get going, Saber's don't usually stand around to stalk they usually just pounce when they see something,"
"That is if their not hungry," With that being said the four wolves ran out of Vibes Myrkurs forest in a blur.
Ventus POV
Ventus was scared to death… The little puppy in his mouth hadn't even stirred one bit, which he was grateful for but what he wasn't so grateful for was that the two other Sabertooths started circling the tree he was pinned against by the other one.
Ventus decided that maybe if he sang they would get sleepy but of course not all his plans work, "S-soft k-kitty warm k-kitty little ball of fu-"
ROAR!
"AHHHHH!" Ventus screamed with the still roaring Saber in front of him.
Axel's POV
Axel and the other's stopped immediately when they heard a lions roar mixed with a muffled scream of Ventus, a million thoughts went through his head as he thought of what could be happening to his mate, he took off running full sprint possibly faster than a cheetah towards the sound blocking out the voices of his friends calling his name
All he wanted to know was if his mate was okay.
Ventus POV
Ventus freaked out and ran to the right thinking he could get away but got wind smacked out of him as a Sabertooth rammed into his side, he lost grip of the young wolf in his mouth sending it into the snow causing the puppy to wake up instantly from being dowsed in the freezing snow. Ventus was pinned to the ground by a Saber its long claws sinking into his fur making him whimper; to the young pup it was Déjà vu all over again, seeing someone else get hurt because of him, he started whimpering uncontrollably until he couldn't take it anymore.
HOWL
Axel's POV
As Axel was running he heard a small howl come from the direction he was heading to. It sounded closer meaning that he was almost there quite frankly, he couldn't wait till he got there so that he could let out some steam on the Saber's that were trying to harm his mate; if their was even a scratch on him all hell was going to break lose.
All he didn't know was how right he was.
"AXEL WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!" Ventus voice screamed in his head, he almost tripped on his paws when relief washed over him.
"I'm coming I'm almost there!"
"Hurry up…Please, it hurts," Axel's whole body went numb at those words then with a burst of anger Axel's eyes turned from the beautiful emerald to jet black, his claws grew longer than normal, his canines turned into fangs, his body heat shot up to what felt like a thousand degrees.
He was beyond pissed.
Ventus POV
Roxas stopped howling after a Sabertooth deemed him annoying Ventus watched as a Sabertooth swiped its humongous paw over his small body sending him flying into a tree successfully making him black out again, Ventus struggled against the paws that had him to the ground biting at the legs of the Saber but to no avail; until that is, it was sent flying off of him by a wolf that strangely looked like Axel. The only thing that seemed out of the norm was that Axel was on…Fire?
But he did have time to dwell on Axel, he ran over to the young pup wincing in the process he was almost there until a Saber blocked his path growling loudly. Ventus just about had enough of this, ignoring the pain on his belly when the Saber was going to rip open his stomach. Ventus lunged at the cat's throat clamping down on its jugular with all his strength as the Saber tried to shake him off of him while hitting Ven's body with its sharp claws reopening some of the scratches that where already trying to heal. Ventus bit down harder till he felt his bottom jaw meet his top, then the Saber fell limp in his mouth; finally its like they have a never ending lifespan, Ventus thought as he let go of the dead cat in his mouth a trotted over to the puppy that lay motionless on the snow but it was breathing so that's all that mattered to him.
"Ventus!" Said owner of the name turned around to see the other wolves running up to him panting in exertion from the long run.
"Ven are you okay? You're bleeding," One of the brunette wolves asked concern laced in his voice.
"Yeah, I'm okay Terra but I'm not so sure about him," They all turned to the flaming Axel.
Axel's POV
Axel jumped the Saber that was holding down his mate sinking his burning claws in its skin causing it to roar in agony, they tumbled down to the snow with Axel on top as he wasted no time before the Saber to sink his fangs down into its jugular killing it instantly. Once he thought it was killed he dethatched himself from its bleeding jugular and hissed at the other Sabertooth that was going to help his friend but quickly took one glance at Axel and ran away like the ice age came back.
Axel smirked at his victory he finally scared off a Saber, which was never done before!
"Axel?" A timid voice that could only be said by Ventus rung though his ears calming him instantly, the heat coursing through him deteriorated, his claws went back to normal, and one blink his eyes turned back to green.
"Ventus! Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Axel ran over to his mate nuzzling him softly.
"Yeah, I'm fine, are you okay?"
"I am now…don't you ever scare me like that!"
"I-I'm sorry I just wanted to save him," Axel looked down at Ventus paws and saw a little blonde puppy lying there peacefully.
"Where did he come from?"
"Well…"
Flashback
"Hey Axel?" Ventus called walking up to his lazy mate in wolf form.
"Hm?" Axel grunted as a reply also in wolf form laying on his back with his paws hung over Ventus rolled his eyes Axel could be so lazy sometimes.
"I'm going out hunting coming?"
Axel yawned loudly his pearly white teeth showing before replying, "Na I'm just gonna stay here and sleep, I'm still kinda tired from last nights events," Axel smirked then yelped when a paw collided with his face.
"You are the most grosses thing I have ever met!" Ventus growled and trotted away to the exit he was glad he was in his wolf form because if he wasn't he was sure he'd be as red as a tomato.
"But you love me!" Was all he heard as he darted through the snow to the forest.
"Sometimes I wonder how that happened," Ventus muttered. Ventus put his nose to the snow covered ground getting the scent of a doe not to far away and raced in the direction his mouth watering with anticipation ready to be rewarded. Once he saw the unsuspecting doe in the forest he crouched down low to the ground keeping his ears alerted and eyes trained on his target creeping ever so slow with practice ease.
Five steps away...
Two steps..
And - BANG
A sudden gun went off and the doe ran away he was about to chase after it when a brunette wolf carrying something in her mouth ran into his line of sight then out of no where some guy shot her in the leg now what Ventus could see as a puppy being thrown from her mouth he could hear her and the pup conversing. Seeing a shadow come closer with what looked like a gun shot the mother then turned on the pup Ventus ran to the gunman as fast as he could before it made contact with it right when the guns safety was being clicked off he pushed the man down when he heard the trigger being pulled as the bullet made contact, with the ground.
END OF FLASH BACK
"So that's how all this started," Ventus finished his explanation of how he saved him and to Axel's relief it wasn't a squirrel this time but an actual something worth saving!
"So what do we do with him?"
"Can we keep him? Pleeeesssseee?" Ventus begged while he gave Axel his award winning puppy dog eyes complete with a whimper that Axel just couldn't resist.
"Fine," Axel huffed.
"YAY!" Ventus jump on his mate even though his body protested with each move but he could care less, he licking his snout and tongue when Axel took his own out in a wolfish kiss then it started to get a little to heated for the others liking.
"Ahem! Uh, y'know it is late and um…cold I don't think pup should be out here in this weather don't you think guys?" Zack piped up shuffling nervously as the others nodded their heads. Ventus finally dethatched himself of off Axel to pick up the puppy but Axel stopped him when he was about to grab him.
"I got 'em," The other wolves bid their goodbyes as they ran back home, and it was just Axel and Ventus trotting home alone. After about an hour and a half they finally came to their den surrounded by brush, overgrown bushes, and with dear hide covering the entrance; they trotted into it going down a long rock hallway that opened up to a still burning fireplace with dear hide beds scattered all over the smooth rock floor.
"Do you know his name?" Axel asked as he put the pup down gently into one of the warm hides that was closest to the fireplace, it was the first time one of them said anything from coming back from the Saber's territory.
"I think it was… Roxas," Ventus answered as they both stood over the sleeping puppy.
"I guess were parents now, huh?" Axel said with a slight smile.
"Yeah, I guess we are," Ventus replied and licked the side of Axel's face as he laid down on the right of Roxas and falling to sleep instantly. Following Ventus's lead, Axel laid down to complete the circle, both of their heat radiating off of both of them brought warmth Roxas tiny body.
The Next Morning…
Roxas woke up to very warm body's surrounding him thinking it was his mother he curled back into the heat taking a deep sniff he realized something
That wasn't his mother scent!
Roxas jumped up careful not to disturb the other wolves. How in the world did he get there? He swore he was with his mother! Then all of a sudden all those images came flooding back into his mind…
His mother died and some wolf almost died saving him, and this is probably where they took him.
He made up his mind right then and there. He was going to run away so others wont get hurt trying to save him, he already lost his mother and pack he didn't want others dying because of him. He turned around and saw light at the other end before he left he made sure none of the wolves had woken up when he was thinking he darted to what he hope was an exit; tripping on his own paws in the process. Finally he made it to the end crawling under the "heavy" (to him it was since he's only a puppy) deerskin running into the thick snow.
Inside the Den…
Ventus yawned loudly standing up while shaking his matted fur off he looked down to see Axel still sleeping like a rock with his tongue out but no Roxas, panicking Ventus turned around a whole 360 degrees and still no sign of him.
"Axel wake up Roxas is gone!" Ventus barked at his mate that only groaned and flipped over with his back towards Ventus.
"No sex…For a month," Ventus glared at the now fully awake Axel that jumped up at the word 'month'.
"I'm up, I'm up!"
"Roxas is gone we have to go find him!" Ventus ran towards the entrance with a confused and a half asleep Axel on his paws; he already walked into the wall about 4 times and cursed like a sailor when he jabbed his paw on a stray rock, he was pretty sure he'd have a concussion from constantly hitting into the rock walls.
Finally they made it outside Ven put his nose to the ground looking for a scent he did find one with Roxas tracks, a fierce and slightly odd wind blew through there fur Axel lifted his head to sniff the air for the cause of the odd wind that blew through said that the forest would warn the animals for sudden danger; he finally found the source making him let out a brutal growl.
"What is it Axel?" Ventus asked worriedly, Axel had the best nose around and the strongest too while Ventus was strong to but no one could compare to Axel, unfortunately, some other wolves had died when trying to make him 'Submissive' as if Axel is in that department to turn Submissive! He's a Dominate for crying out loud! Not saying that he hasn't been submissive before…That's for another time.
"Some hunter is wondering around here we have to get to Roxas before he finds him," Axel said and took off following Roxas's tiny paw prints through the snow with Ventus right next to him.
Roxas POV
Roxas just kept running, not even stopping to think about what he was doing or what he was going to do, he was in a of Think later Act now state of mind; feeling extremely tired from trudging through the thick and heavy snow he stopped to take a breath whilst eating some snow as makeshift water since that's all what snow is frozen water, but something in the back of his mind was telling him he was being watched. Oblivious and naïve Roxas kept on eating the snow throwing his instincts to the wind that pasted through-oaky that wind didn't feel right…Roxas snapped his head up looking around for such a unsuspecting wind, his ears on high alert…But nothing came, shrugging thinking he was being paranoid went back to eating the snow that was oh so interesting snow than his instincts practically screaming at him trying to make his stubborn limbs move but he stood fast not moving an inch only moving his head to drink the snow.
Until it was too late…
To be continued…
