Chapter 2
I'm sorry that I haven't updated in a while, a lot of stuff has been going on but here is the next chapter, enjoy!
I continue to run through the never-ending forest my legs and paw pads aching with exhaustion. I've been running for more days then I can count now and I know I can't travel on like this for much longer. The only thing keeping me going was the thought of my girl in trouble, but that alone can only keep me going for so long.
I hear voices to my left past the trees and stop to listen. They are deep and gruff, clearly the noise of male humans. I creep closer in order to hear what they are saying. They speak of many names that I do not recognize, but also a few that I do.
When the name Stark reaches my ears I listen more intently knowing this name belongs to my girl and me.
"Ya, I was there when the Stark boy fell," The one too soft and tanned to be of the North says to the other who feeds eagerly on each word.
"I didn't kill 'em but I saw him die. Stabbed 'is whore wife right is her swollen belly then shot 'im dead, 'is mom too. Then once the bloody binis was over they sowed 'is beasts head to 'is body." With this he goes o more excited, "What a sight that was, seein um pullin around the boy whit that wolf head whooting and hollerin all the way, 'All hail the King of the North'."
A growl grows slowly in my throat. They are talking about the death of my family, of my girl's family as if it were some joke. After he finishes he and the other man share a laugh
And that was all I could handle.
I surge forward landing on the man closest to me, the one that didn't talk, and sink my teeth deep into his throat until a hear the crunch of bone. I then rip back taking most of his flesh with me then turn the blood dripping from my muzzle to face the man who spoke. The expression of mixed horror and terror on his face only fills me with satisfaction as he turns to run.
This soft fool couldn't hope to outrun a small breed let alone a direwolf. I catch him easily and pull him down in front of me. He squeals pitifully beneath me as I stand over him and he cries out for help. None comes. I reach down and latch my teeth into the top of his skull and he screams in pain. I bite down harder and let him suffer a moment longer before jerking back my head and ripping his from his body.
I toss the dismembered head to the side of the road then lick the blood from my lips before turning and looking down the road ahead of me. Perhaps it would be better to take the road, I think to myself, in the woods I could pass Aria and not even relies it.
The previous excitement has given me newfound energy and I take off down the road leaving the bodies behind daydreaming of Aria and all that I would do to her enemies.
I'm so sorry this was so short but this was kind of a filler chapter. I promise I'll update sooner this time. Please read and review, all feedback is appreciated!
