Another chapter. Things are getting busy with school and everything, but I always have time for my fanfics and stories.
Chapter 24. Gunshot of Remorse
Dust flew up all over, it was very hard to see into the distance. I was running up along side the truck now that my right side was better. Hige and Blue were still riding in the back as Hubb drove. Cheza and Quent were also in the truck.
"How is your side?" Toboe asked running up to me.
"Good." I answered. "My side feels great." I smirked and kept running. I heard the sudden screech of the truck as it stopped which made me jump somewhat. Hubb got out and ran to the back of the truck, we followed him changing to our human forms.
"What's wrong?" Kiba asked.
"I don't know." Hige said kneeling over Quent. "The old guy is dyeing." Hubb was looking down at him with worry and so was Blue.
"Is pops going to die!?" Blue asked worriedly.
"I don't know." Hubb replied. "What do we do?" Hubb turned to Kiba, all of us wolves shrugged.
"We're wolves, how are we supposed to know what to do." I said.
"I wish I knew CPR." He mumbled. Cheza got up from where she was sitting and walked over to where Hubb and Quent were. She knelt down and started mouth to mouth or CPR as Hubb had said. Hubb pushed down on Quent's chest and we watched if wide eyes as they did this. Soon Quent started to breathe again and Cheza got up only to fall down; luckily Blue was standing next to her to catch her.
"Are you all right, Cheza?" Blue asked, Cheza lightly nodded. This was taking a toll on her.
"This one is fine." She said.
"Okay know all Quent has to do is rest." Hubb said getting.
"Yea and when he comes to, he can just shoot us." Tsume said with a smirk.
"You know it was all a misunderstanding…" Blue whispered. "It wasn't wolves that killed our family, it was soldiers."
"Jaguara." Hige growled into a whisper.
"The wolves just happened to pick Kurios as a shelter." Blue continued. "I don't think he hates wolves anymore. Back when we were getting out of that town, he saved my life."
"So his hatred of wolves has kept him going all this time." Hige said. "With out his hatred I guess he just cant go on…" We were all silent. Since the event passed Hubb went back to the front seat to start the car up again… but it didn't. He was grumbling about something so I trotted over in wolf form.
"What's wrong?" I asked, cocking my head to the side.
"This thing won't start." He said angrily. "I guess we'll walk now." I nodded and walked away. Hubb went to the back of the truck and picked up Quent, since he still wasn't awake. Kiba went and was about to pick Cheza up back she shook her head.
"No, this one will walk with you." She said. Tsume and Blue hopped out of the back of the truck with blankets in their mouths for the humans. We began to walk out into the dust storm in our wolf forms. It was hard since I could barely see anything. We must have walked on for hours, but we finally did stop near a strange rock formation. Hubb laid out the blankets and put Quent onto one, Hubb then went and laid down to try and sleep. Blue seemed to hover around Quent making sure that he was okay.
"He's fine." Hubb whispered. Blue nodded but then sighed.
"I know." She mumbled. "But I'm scarred. How will he… react…" Blue looked towards the rest of us.
"We won't know till he wakes up then." I said from were a sat.
"Don't worry Blue." Toboe said. "He'll get used to us." Quent started to stir from where he laid, we all looked his way not daring to breathe. He started to mumble and Blue trotted to him in wolf form, Quent reached up and began to stroke Blue's fur.
"Blue?" He asked.
"Who else would it be…" She whispered.
"Who else is here?" Quent asked, his eyesight not yet back.
"Me." Hubb said. "You do remember?" Quent nodded, and Toboe got closer. I lowly growled, which was a mistake.
"There are others?" Quent asked. "Who is that?" I shuddered, and Toboe was standing next to Blue now.
"That's the boy!?" Quent said when he saw Toboe.
"That's right." Blue said nodding. I walked up next to Toboe, I really hated being this close to the human that had been trying to kill us for the past couple months.
"And that's the girl that's always with him." Quent said. "So their…"
"The wolves you've been tracking…" Kiba said. Quent's eyes grew wide and he nearly jumped up, I jumped back with a snarl.
"We're going to paradise." Hubb said. "All of us."
"Were you with the wolves the whole time then?" Quent asked Hubb angrily. Hubb shook his head.
"No, but the world is ending the only hope is paradise." He said. Quent started to walk away angrily.
"Then let me die!" He yelled as the dust blew against his coat making it blow wildly.
"Please pops!" Blue said. "Why are you acting like this?!"
"You're not my dog anymore." He said with no emotion as he walked away. Tears imediently came to Blue's face.
"Y-You can't…" She whispered. She turned and ran in the opposite direction as the tears spilled down her face. Hige growled as he ran after her.
"Quent wait-…" Hubb was about to say, but I interrupted him.
"What's your problem!" I yelled out in Quent's direction. Quent stopped for a moment but then he started to walk away again without even looking back. Hubb shook his head as he started to run off after Quent. They both disappeared into the distance as the dust storm picked up. I walked over to Kiba and sat down next to him. He looked at me with sympathy.
"Out of all of us, you seem to hate humans the worst." He said; I nodded.
"But now I know that not all humans are bad…" I whispered. My mind went to Hubb and Cher because they weren't bad. I felt sorry for Hubb too; too lose someone you loved… I knew that feeling… The high pitched sound of a noble's ship met my ears and I cringed. I laser shot out from what seemed like nowhere and struck someplace that seemed really far away, but yet it felt so close. There was a bright flash of a blinding light and then a huge mountain of dust flew towards us, it was like wind but much worst. The dust never subsided it just kept blowing, making it harder to see.
"Toboe you go get the humans." Tsume ordered. "I'll go get Hige and Blue." Toboe nodded with a smile across his face. He ran out into the dust and soon disappeared. Tsume looked towards Kiba.
"How do you still trust him?" Tsume asked.
"Like he said, he didn't really know." Kiba said.
"But once did now, he still didn't tell us." Tsume said a little bit angrier.
"Would YOU have told us?" I asked. "Back in Freeze City we knew nothing of each other, yet we still were driven to find paradise."
"It was just one of those risks…" Kiba said. Tsume was about to turn around to go get Hige and Blue, when gunshot rang out making us all jump and then freeze in out tracks. Then another shot rang out shortly afterwards…
Um, only two more chapters after this and their both really sad. I hope I am able to maintain all that emotion, I'm worried about the last episode/Chapter. I think my writing had improved some since I first started this story. Okay so R&R!
