Chapter 2: Strange Wolf With a Strange Past.

Hungry, tired, cold and lonely these were the thoughts these were going through my head as I continuously drag my feet to where ever they want to go. I walk for what seems like forever when I spot something moving in the distance.

I walk up closer to it careful to be hiding so I do scare it away thinking it is something to eat, I jump out of the bushes and get ready to attack only to find nothing there. I look all around swearing I heard something, and then heard something to my left and see a rabbit that wasn't there before. I get done low to the ground; shake my butt (like cats do when there about to pounce); take off at running speed towards the rabbit thinking to my self "I'm gonna get it," I'm going to get this rabbit." I ran all over the place; straight, diagonal, zigzag and believe or not even backwards but I still couldn't get the rabbit, I was starting to think it was uncatchable.

I chase it for a few more minutes and I'm finally gaining up on it, I ran as fast as I can to see if I can get closer to it. "Almost" my mouth is a few inches form the tail, "Almost there" my mouth is right on the tail, I go to bit down my head hits a tree. I fall my and backwards and grab my head, I look around and see the rabbit nowhere insight and no rabbit whole for it to escape in. I sit down and just feel like crying,

"My head hurts, im hungry and I just want to go home" I say as tears roll down my face; there is a cave in the distance that looks like its abandon and go inside calling it a day hoping I can get something to eat tomorrow, never being taught how to hunt makes it hard to catch things.

The bright rays from the sun wake me up from my sleep, I open up my tried eyes trying to find the strength and motivation to get up and do something, after telling myself over and over to get up and my stomach growling at me I finally do leave the cave in search for something to eat.

A couple minutes of looking and manage to find 3 squirrels, couple birds and a shrew but was still hungry. Licking the blood of my paws I hear something to my right, I look closely and see that it's the damn rabbit again wondering where it came from since it seemed to disappear the last time I chased, thinking this time will be different; change tactics and try to sneak up on it. I sneak through the tress and bushes occasionally peeping my head out to see where it is, I get right behind it; about to pounce when the rabbit lifts it head up like it's sniffing for danger, I stay completely still hoping it will ignore that feeling and go back to eating but it doesn't and it takes off.

"Shit" I say as I run after it for the second time; Once again I run all over the place trying to catch this stupid rabbit, I can almost get to it; with an extra burst of speed I leap in the air only to run into something again.

It knocks me on my back and takes me breath away; I try to catch my breath thinking it was another tree I get angry and start to yell " What the h…" I start to say as I see two huge bloody paws on either side of me then look up and see a black metal collar with spikes around its neck then the huge wolf itself with the rabbit in its maw. I tried to close my eyes but to no avail I couldn't look away I have never seen a wolf this big; then I remember she was the wolf that I saw after I went back to my family.

I didn't know what to do; I didn't know if she was going to kill me or not but all I could do was look at her. She set the rabbit down next to me; went to sit down. I look at the rabbit then back to her then back at the rabbit and dig in. I tear into it like no tomorrow ripping muscle and tendon from bone, pulling bones apart and it's gone within minutes of it being given to me. I finish eating the rabbit and look up at the she wolf, she is starting off into the abyss, I go to sit down next to her to see if she notices. I look up into the wilderness with her; then feel somebody watching me; I look up at the she wolf as she looking down at me.

"Hello" I say timidly looking up at her. She doesn't say anything, thinking she didn't hear me I say it again. "Hello", She snaps out of her daze and looks down at me.

When she looks at me it looks as if she wants to hurt me but I know she won't. "What's your name," I ask her.

Still staring at her she replies "Fang", "Cool name" I say just to say something.

After a moment of silence she finally asks, "What's your name little one." I reply standing up proudly "Shikyo," "Strange that sounds familiar" She says. "Don't know" I say feeling more relaxed around the new she wolf.

I look all over her body and see that's its covered in scars wondering how she got them all I ask " How did you get all those scars," She flinches and I see it wondering if I should have not asked. Fang looks down at me " No its okay ill tell you it's just hard to talk about because I still much remember much but being in the fucking lab," She says. I look up at her with interest. She looks up at the sky and sighs, " I was part of an inhumane experiment performed by humans. They took me away and brought me to this place that smelled of death and sterile things. At first they didn't do anything to me just observed me, then after the course of a couple weeks the started doing horribly things to me.

They would cut me, stab me, probe me; put me through test to where I almost died then heal me back up to do it again and the worst of all injected me with demon DNA. The scientists made me in to the ultimate weapon Kill with out remorse and have fun doing it," as her eyes clench real tight as if trying to block it out. " Im sorry," I say.

"Oh no its fine I don't mind telling you its just repressed memories," She takes a moment the looks down at me and tilts her head to the side.

"Where did you get those marks on your face" I lower my head and put me ears back "You know that pack you saw me at well that was my pack before they were slaughtered and the wolf that did that also gave me these scars and also why my part of my ear is missing. I say looking like I going to cry but holds it in so I don't look weak in front of Fang.

Fang opens her mouth to say something but then closes it not knowing what to say. As I go to say some thing my stomach growls, I look down at it then back at Fang.

"Uhh…I guess im still hungry" I smile up at her sheepishly; its fine little one I will go get you something bigger to eat, "you stay here and if you see anyone hide and don't get caught," She says looking over here should as if thinking someone going to pop out any second.

"Ok," I say slowly wondering whom she's talking about as she's walking away.

I sit there for a couple bored when I see me tail swaying back and forth like it's taunting me; I narrow my eyes; stand up and try to chase it. After running around in a few circle I finally succeeded; as I hold it in my mouth I look up and see something in the distance.

I squint my eyes to see if I can make it clearer but still nothing; as I wait for them to get closer I notice something that scares me; this wolf has a scar on his right eye and they are bright blue, as I make this discovery the wolf has pick up his pace and is now jogging at me. I freeze in place not knowing what to do, and then remember that Fang told me to hide.

I look around for anything that will hide me from him and see a bush not far from where im standing, I take off as fast as I can hoping I can make it in time, I turn my head to the side; it looks like he closer than ever before like he breathing down my back, even though he isn't. I finally make it to the bush and jump in just as run past the bush, I creep father into the bush as he stops and sniff around like caught the scent of something he's been trying to find. He sniffs around for a little bit as if the scent was everywhere but it eventually leads him over to the buses im hiding, he sticks his muzzle in a sniffs around then opens his mouth and lets out a growl.

I raise my paw intending to strike if he comes any farther but as I bring it down he pulls it out and looks to his left and sees a 20 foot wolf carrying a deer with a baby dear in her mouth. He looks between the bush and Fang knowing im in there but doesn't want to challenge the much bigger wolf; with that he runs away. As Fang come into view she see im not there; drops the deer's she had in her mouth and start to look around for me

"Shikyo… Shikyo where did you go," She says, I come out of the bush looking at her as she looks down at me. "Why were you hiding," She asks; "That wolf that I told you about came back looking for me, he almost got me until you came back with the food," nuzzles up against her leg; which reminds you brought food; runs over to the food and tears into the baby deer. As I get done eating my share I see the Fang hasn't touched hers; looking like she is deep in thought.

I walk up to her and ask her what's wrong. She snaps out of her train of thought and looks down at me sadly as if she going to tell me something I don't want to hear. "Shikyo I don't think it's best for you to hang around me anymore," She say in a sad voice. I look up at her sadly thinking its my fault she doesn't want to be around me anymore I ask " Was it because I was hiding I didn't mean to you said that if anyone came I should hide next time ill fight" I say in desperation hoping to make he stay with me. " No its not that; you will not fight anyone until you know how" she gives me a stern look, I avert my eyes down put my ears back. She doesn't say anything for a while before finally decides to tell what's up. "When I escaped the lab I was also followed by the humans and there pets and I don't want them to hurt you like they did to me." "Well if we move now they wont be able to keep up with us" "No Shikyo you must leave until I know its safe" "Fine" with a hurt look in my eyes and starts to walk but I don't get very far as I hear a shot rang out.

"SHIKYO."
