Smoke's shoulder's tensed.
This is it,
he thought gravely. this is my destiny.
Sandtail stood bravely beside his daughter, Mouse and stared at the lumbering beast.
Oscar breath came in terrified gasps, but he stood bravely beside Smoke.
Sun was perched beside a tree, staring face-to-face at the fawn colored wolf.
The huge muscular grey wolf snarled, revieling huge fangs that made Smoke tremble.
This is my home, my family!
Smoke thought. No one hurts them!
With a surge of courage, Smoke jumped at the grey wolf.
It slammed a boulder-sized paw on his head, making him dizzy.
Smoke was prepared to feel teeth rip him apart like in the dream, but the only sound he heard was Oscar's cry for help.
The giant wolf had the black and white tom inbetween it's teeth. Blood stained his pelt, the metalic sent hit Smoke like a gust of wind.
It was killing Oscar!
"Let go of him!" Smoke hissed, leaping on the wolf's bulky shoulders.
He tried to sink his teeth into the wolf's skin, but all he could grab was thick fur.
Smoke growled in frustration as the wolf shook Oscar like prey. His loud cried were turning weak and feeble.
Quickly, Smoke bit down ot the huge animal's ear.
It yelped in pain and dropped Oscar, Mouse ran to his side with sharp smelling herbs.
Sharp teeth grasped his tail. A wave of pain ran down Smoke's spine.
"Owwrrr!" Smoke wailed as the wolf slammed him on the ground.
Smoke closed his eyes and thought, 'This is it, my time has come.' but his thoughts were interupted by Sandtail, slashing the wolf's muzzle.
It yelped and ran in a tight circle before slamming Sandtail with heavy paws.
Sandtail grunted, his eyes becoming dull.
"Sandtail no!" Smoke cried, ignoring the pain in his tail.
His father smiled painfully at Smoke before his eyes rolled into the back of his head.
Anger swept over Smoke.
He unsheathed his claws and yowled in fury.
Smoke once again dove for the wolf's ear and sank his teeth deep into it.
It yipped and yelped, spinning around and trying to pull the grey tom off his bleeding ear.
"Smoke look out!" Mouse's shocked mew rang in his ears as a white she-wolf jumped at Smoke,her bloody fangs glistiling.
Her teeth snapped Smoke's lower back with a loud crunch.
Overwhelming pain swept over him and made him vomit.
Smoke tried to move, but his lower legs felt cold and dead. No!
The white she-wolf grabbed his throught in her jaws and squeezed.
Smoke gasped for breath but couldn't find any. His head felt dizzy and began to spin.
The wolf let go and ran after Mouse, who was helping with Oscar's injuries.
The silvery-grey she-cat hissed sliced the wolf's nose. Sending it fleeing to the fawn colored wolf who was barking at Sun in a tree.
Before Smoke could see if the others where okay, darkness swept over him until he came to a soft a warm medow.
"Welcome." Smoke turned around to see his mother Dryleaf stareing at him with warm eyes.
"Dryleaf!"
