Twilight Night Chapter 27 Ursa The Leader?

I thought my skin was going to jump when a wolf that was staring down at us spoke.

"So, this is the owls all worked up about, tiny flying mice and one human." He snarled, smirking his teeth. I swallowed and Shade was the first one to speak, doing his best to sound threatening.

"H..hey let us go!"

"You have no right to hold us!" Marina added. The wolves, however, were amused how brave we're trying to be they only laughed.

"What's a hurry?" One wolf that spoke to us. "Tell us where the Silverwing colony are,"

"So you can tell the owls and have us killed, forget it!" Shade retorted.

"Killed?" All three wolves laughed.

The female quiet her laugh and snarled. "We don't want you killed, we want you and your colony protected."

"Wait what?" I blinked while both my friends looked puzzled. "You want to help us, why?"

"As long as the silverwings are free, we can do everything we want. Hunt, expand our territory. All in the name of war." The wolf leader replied, and the other companion growl of his approval. I was shocked to hear what they were doing, fulfilling their sick wish.

"But the war is wrong!" Marina protested. "The silverwings are innocents!"

The female wolf only shrugged. "Innocents and guilty not matter to us. "She licks her chomps and finished her sentence. "Our considered is food."

"And Ursa let you kill defense animals?" Marina added. I couldn't believe what I was hearing, their leader is barbaric and cruel!

The female wolf, once again nodded her head. "Of course she does, she's our wise and fearless leader."

"Is she a wolf-like you guys?" I asked.

"Wolf?" Lugar scowled like he was taking that offensive and glared through the hole at us coldly. "Don't insult me she's a komode bear, the black bear with white fur."

"Yes and she's special ever so special," The female cackled.

All three of us look at one another and then, thinking this was all a sick game I frown at the leader. "So you choose Ursa to be your leader so you can get away behind her back? You wolves are awful, much worse than the owls! You know you won't get away with this." The leader was only giving this smug look at me after I have spoken.

"So tough are you now?" He growled under his breath and then I gulped when I notice his eyes were scanning from my head to toe. "You know, my herd is curious about you ever since Brutus talks about you. Do you mind if we, look at you closer?" Without a warning, one wolf teeth went right through the branch and one of them almost got my shoulder I almost yelped. I scoot away from the teeth fast towards Shade and Marina but then we felt ourselves being lifted inside the branch. The wolf, that was holding the branch in its mouth shook a bit that made us fall out of the branch and landed hard on the dirt ground. I groaned and was about to get up but an out of nowhere paw smack me before I can even get up.

My whole body was scooted away from my friends and as I got up the wolves were already circling me. I stood my ground, trying to look brave and seeing some wolves have different fur on them and the one I take a lucky guess that the green-furred wolf who spoke was their leader.

"You don't look like a threat to us, after what General Brutus describes you." The wolf leader growled. The other wolf nod in agreement and they circle closer.

The purple wolf snarled. "No she doesn't Lugar, she looks more of a nice snack and a toy to play with" All of a sudden the purple wolf went behind me and grab my hair with his teeth, and yank me up. I scream in pain and the other laughed in enjoyment and he drops me. I tried to get up but the other wolf with blue fur came over and push me roughly with her big nose. I fall on my stomach and I felt her mouth grab my ankle and fling me in the air like I was some kind of chew toy. I screamed when I came down fast but then the green wolf named Lugar caught me in his mouth and shook me a bit which made my stomach upset like I was in some kind of fast ride in an amusement park.

He put me down roughly and use his one paw to press me down, which almost took my breath away, feel like my ribs were about to break in a second.

"Stop it! Let me go!" I cried, struggling. The wolves only laughed as they keep watching me suffer.

"Aw come on, we're having fun playing with you." The female wolf snickered. I shut my eyes to expect more pain or worse from them but then I hear the wolf yelped as something bit him. I open my eyes sharply and see myself in Shade's arm, I look to see him baring his teeth at Lugar.

"That's enough!" He growled, held me close for protection. Lugar snarled at him and was about to speak but his nose twitched. He turns his head sharply and saw a rabbit near the bush. Forgetting we were here he stare at the rabbit hungrily and begin to chase it with the others following him. Shade and I watch them take off chasing that poor rabbit in the distance as I pray silently that rabbit will make it safe. After they were gone I hug him.

"Thank you," I gasped. Shade was a bit startled from my hug but he returns my embrace. Marina flew over by us and landed beside Shade and place her hand on my shoulder.

"Are you okay?"

"I think so," I replied, getting up after I was done hugging Shade. But I almost winch from the bite the wolf has made that I was sure I'm going to get a bruise in a couple of days.

He got up and look at both of us. "Let's get out of here." Marina lift herself and I grabbed her feet with both hands and we all took off to find this Ursa.

Third's Person POV

"This is taking to long," Bathsheba muttered, flying with the others and spoke loudly. "We must be off course!" Frieda only smiled and glance up ahead, ignoring her.

"Stonewood just ahead!" She announced. Ariel was flying beside her and she turns to her happily.

"The rest of the males will be with us soon."

"And just in time," Frida replied. Bathsheba was taken back from her right and growls under her breath. Chinook smirked on her being wrong and flies up ahead with the others feel excited to meet his father for the first time and tell him everything that was happening.

Ashlie's POV

I cling on Marina's feet while we begin to search for the white komode bear and we follow down along the river, hoping that we can spot anything white. To our luck, we found one that was a bear as the wolf leader describe and was taking a snooze by a river.

"There!" Marina said. We all swopped down to where this bear was and landed. She really is white alright with a blue nose and has an orange tag on her left ear. I gulped and walk over towards the snoring bear.

"Hey Ursa? Ursa?" I said. Shade came over beside me.

"Hey wake up!" He yelled. I try to pat her nose a bit and even doing a flicking with my fingers to wake her. That didn't work as Ursa let out a huge yawn on us and we almost stumble a bit.

"Eww." I winch my nose from smelling her stinky breath like she ate something dead a while ago. She mumbles something and rolls over to her back still sleeping.

"Ursa!" Shade groaned. Marina flew over her head and shout with irritated.

"Wake up furbag!" Ursa moaned in response and use her giant paw to shoo her like if Marina was a fly and snores loudly. Okay, this was wasting time that I stormed over to the giant bear and jump to grab her ear. With a huge breath screamed in her eardrums before Shade can stop me.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE UUUUUUUUUP!"

That does the trick as her eyes snapped open wide. "Wha wha..?!" She jumps up in startled and lets out a terrifying roar and three of us rush behind the log in fright. Okay, this was a bad idea! I thought, don't know what the hell was I thinking of waking up a cranky bear that is huge!

"Uh..how it's going?" Shade gulped nervously. But Ursa let out another angry roar in response, making us scream and hide again as I cover my ears to prevent my them from hurting. We all peek over and saw her staring right at us coldly one by one. When it was my turn I held my breath and shrink a bit of how she was glaring. But she turns her head away, leaving us puzzled and watch her walk towards the river. We glance at each other before we come out of our hiding, and went to where she was. When we reach her I see she was dunking her whole head in the water, like she was trying to wake herself up. Ursa jolts her head out of the water and turns sharply and her eyes became huge like she was looking at a ghost.

I give her my best friendly smile. "Um hey sorry if we disturbed your nap but.."

"Ursa you got to stop the wolves!" Shade cuts in before I can finish.

"Shade!" I hissed.

"Y-your.." Ursa stuttered. "You're a silverwing, and a human. Not good definitely not good." She turns away and I try to speak.

"Wait we need to talk to you this is important.."

"You three must go!" She growled and shook her head. "You were never here, you're just a dream. A bad, bad dream." We didn't go instead Shade again tries to talk.

"But you have to tell Brutus the silverwings are innocents.

"Oh no! I'm not telling Brutus anything." She retorted.

"And why not?" I have my both fist on my hips, not liking her attitude.

"If I mention I saw you and the Silverwing he wants details." She complains. "And yes there will be meetings, plans and patrols, and even more meeting." She got out herself off the river. "Leave me alone!" She gives us her warning look, growling before she walks away. Geez, it's like talking to a giant toddler. I rolled my eyes but we weren't done yet. Marina grabs my hand with her feet and we begin to follow her until she stops at the giant tank with some kind of berries spilling out from the hole. I landed first before Shade and Marina did on the tank and we saw her munching on them.

"What is this stuff?" Marina question. Ursa bonked her head after she spoke that made us almost fall off, I steady my leg as she jerks her head up.

"Huh, are you three still here?"

Shade made a quick talk before Ursa can say anything to demand us to leave while pointing his finger at me. "Did the humans..like her bring you this food?"

The komode bear blinked. "Well of course,"

"What is it?"

"Its uh, crunchy, fishy berry stuff." She replied.

"And you're eating it..?" I winched my nose in disgust.

Ursa grinned. "Who cares! It's delicious." Then she snarled. "But keep away! You can't have any."

"Take it, we don't want your food its all yours," I said, crossing my arms, hate how she was acting. Then Marina sees her orange tag on her right ear while the bear begins to chow down her meal.

"Hey did the human tagged your ear?" She asked, curious. Ursa licks her lips and smirked.

"Of course they did, I'm special." She sat down. "I'm a black bear that happens to be white."

"The human give me this." Marina showed her band as it reflected but Ursa only snorted.

"Well, that's not the same. Your just a bat, there are millions of bats, I'm rare." She smiled having this pride look that made me roll my eyes. "That's why humans worship me."

"Excuse me!?" I was up to the point of losing my patience ready to jump to attack but Shade grabbed my arm. Suddenly we hear something growling that wasn't coming from Ursa but instead a pack of wolves we encounter earlier. Three of us gasped and watch the wolves chased down the raccoon and Lugar the leader was the one that was close to its prey.

"Your leader do something!" Marina said.

"Come on you need to stop this," I added.

"Hey, I didn't ask to be elected." Ursa snapped at us, not caring. "It's not my problem." Are you kidding me?! I looked at my friends and they have the same expression as I have and we decided to leave, letting her enjoy her food in her own selfish way. Marina lift up and I grab her feet and we flew up to soar but stop in midair.

"She's bad as the wolves." Marina sighed.

"Because it's my kind fault for giving her everything she wants," I said and looked down gloomy. "It's like that's how all of you animals see in us, only giving to make them spoiled."

"Ashlie," I turn my head to see Shade fly face to face. " Marina and I don't see you that way."

"He's right," I glance up to see Marina giving me soft expression. "Remember you told us your people are only helping us from not going endangered."

"But," I was about to protest but Shade interrupts me.

"Ash don't blame yourself! Ursa just doesn't see how humans are helping. I think if you tell her the whole reason why you humans do this she might change her mind." I sighed heavily and look away a bit, not sure if Ursa can believe me due to how pride she was. "Please, you have given us hope." My eyes lit up and look at him confused.

"Hope?"

He nodded and smiled. "You have given me one when you told my colony soon we will have our freedom of choice, and I never gave up since then.

"And if you haven't told me about the band I will still be on that island," Marina added. I look at each of them and see how they're still smiling. I form a little smile.

"Guys..can I tell you both of you are amazing?" I asked. They both laugh as I did along and we took off to find Shade's colony.
