“Guys? Hey guys come on out! This isn't funny!”

 

Toboe's eyes scan the dense forest in front of him, eyes wide but alert to any movements of his friends but he hears and sees nothing. Small patches of light from the dawn light up the other wise dark forest. There are no birds singing no spirals or wild life scurrying about. Nothingness, that's all there is. The only sounds that are heard are Toboe's heavy breaths and the sound of his heart pounding in his ears. His worst nightmare has become reality. They left him.

 

“Please don't leave me! I don't want to be alone!”

 

Toboe falls to his knees as tears fun freely down his face. No one ever seems to stay by his side. His parents whom he can't remember, his grandmother, and now his new family. Was he really that unwanted? That much of a burden to others? The tears seem to fall endlessly as he brings his knees to his chest and sob more.

 

`Why… why does everyone always leave me?'

 

“Because you do nothing but slow us down.” Kiba's voice cuts through the silence like a knife. Toboe feels his heart plummet to the ground as he hears the voices he thought were his friends. They look upon him in disgust, like he is nothing to them but an inconvenience. In Toboe's eyes that look seemed right at the present moment, though he wished it were otherwise.

 

Hige's form walks up to Toboe. His face shows annoyance as he looks at young wolf. “All you do is whine and complain.”

 

“That's not true! I try to help. I really do.”

 

“Yet, you always mess up. Am I not right Tsume?”

 

“No, you're right. What can you expect from a stupid house pet like him.”

 

Toboe feels his world shatter like glass. This isn't happening to him. He can try harder. Yeah that's right. If he tries harder they won't leave him alone. If he becomes tough then he won't let them down. Amber eyes watch as the former comrades leave him. He takes off running after them, as a dense fog starts to cover the sleeping forest. He can't see anything in front of him. He hopes he's going the right way. He stops running to catch his breath and hopes he can catch their scent. Soft winds blow, cooling Toboe's heated skin and then gun shots are fired. Toboe doesn't dare move for fear of making a noise or the possibility of being seen. He feels something warm and heavy in his hand and a gust of wind picks up the fog to reveal the horror that is in front of Toboe's shocked from.

 

His eyes scan the small clearing he stops at and saw nothing but red. Blood paints the ground and became the clothes of his friends. He looks down and sees a shotgun resting in his hands smoke coming from the nozzle of it. He drops it to the ground and runs to Kiba who was closest to him. Kneels down and checks his pulse… none. He checks the others.They were all dead - killed by his hands.Toboe let out a heart-stabbing scream filled with his sorrow and anguish. Now he was truly alone, but he was the cause of it. He killed whom he loved the most, his only family and only friends.

 

Footsteps were heard behind him and he looked up with dead eyes and looks into a set of eyes identical to his. The stranger was looking down on him with a smirk on his face. “Look at what you did…”

 

“I didn't mean—“

 

“Of course you did! You knew you wanted to be free of them and their expectations that you knew you could not meet! So why put up with it?” His smile never leaving his face.

 

Tears brimming Toboe's eyes as his taunting laughter echoed in his head. “Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! It's not true! Who are you!”

 

“Fool. I'm you. I'm what you use to be. Someone who takes action and leadership. Not a coward who was tamed by humans. I am also what you will become.”

 

Toboe falls to his knees, hands covering his face. “Why?” It was nothing but a weak whisper. A plea to know why this was happening to him. Yet also not wanting to know the answer.

 

A sigh brings Toboe's head up to look upon himself. His other self brings himself down on his knees and looks and Toboe with sadness and understanding. “Because… You need to remember what you had, and how to get it back. We had something we were willing to die for, and in some ways we did. I died, and you were born. I was locked way with your lost memories and now you will need them. To protect those from our past and those in our present. Do you understand?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“Good. Let's begin.”

 

Toboe leans back against the soft grass as memories flash past his eyes like a wave. He was seeing thing he didn't think he was capable of but I guess that was to be expected.

 

“Toboe…”

 

“…”

 

“Toboe!”

 

Toboe's eyes fly open and was looking at annoyed golden ones.

 

“T…Tsume?”

 

“Get up kid, we're leaving.” Tsume leaves with the rest of the pack. Toboe yawns and stretches felling his joints pop and get up to follow everyone. When he steps out of the cave, the world that seems so foreign to him becomes very familiar.

 

“I know this place…” He said it barely above a whisper. Kiba turns his head and looks in his direction.

 

“What was that?”

 

“Uh… well… where are we going?”

 

“There's a city not to far from here that is not governed by a noble. Yet it's one of the wealthiest cities in the area. I want to see why.” With that said Kiba gets up and starts the journey.

 

It seems like they were running forever but it's only been an hour or so. Hige complaining that he is hungry every now to break the silence.

 

“Kiba. Come on I'm starvin' can't we get some lunch?”

 

“Fine.”

 

“Alright!”

 

They stop at a meadowy place that is quiet and beautiful. The scene brought a smile to Toboe's face. That's when memories started to come.

 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Memories ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

“Mom!! Come On! Try to get us!”

 

Three little pups scurry about playing with their mother. Laughter and smiles are everywhere. Then the memory vanished to a painful one. They sky became darker as the screams of the wind fill his ears. They were screams of pain and suffering.

 

“RUN!”

 

Baby Toboe and siblings take off hoping to hide in the tall grasses. No such luck, the hunters found them. They hear the screams of their mother and that of humans as they die. While running he feels hands on him as he lifted off the ground.

 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +

 

“Hey guys, what's up with the runt over there?” Hige's voice shows worry though he tries to hide it.

 

“Who knows. And who cares.”

 

“Obviously you care.”

 

“Oh really porky? What makes you say that.” Tsume's voice is dripping with venom warning Hige, who paid no attention to of course.

 

“You've been watching him since you woke up. Plus, we know you have a thing for him.”

 

Tsume did not take that well. The next thing Hige sees is Tsume tackling him. “What was that!” Growling Tsume though clenched teeth.

 

Hige glared at Tsume trying to be fearsome, baring his teeth. “You heard me.”

 

Tsume getting read to punch Hige said, “And you have a death wish.”

 

“Knock it off! The both of you!”

 

With a growl Tsume let go of Hige. `Who does he think he is? He's not the boss of me.' Tsume was fuming watching Kiba walk over to Toboe, who has been really silent lately. It was unnerving. Something must be wrong with the pup, but Tsume couldn't put his finger on it.

 

“Toboe?” No answer. Worried the other two make their way to stand near Kiba. Hoping to find answers to their unasked questions. Kiba places a hand on Toboe's shoulder, and he repeats the young ones name.

 

“They died here…”

 

Shocked at what the pup said Kiba takes a step back. The others have similar looks on their faces.

 

“…What…?”

 

“They died here. I saw it. They were laughing as the skinned her alive. Hunters must skin us alive to keep the fur.” Toboe sighs sounding exhausted. “I heard her screams. Heard the others scream too. But then it was quiet.”

 

Toboe started laughing, but it wasn't joyful, it was almost like self-loathing. The others remained quiet, not knowing what to say or do. He looked at them and the coldness and pain in his eyes sent shivers down their spines.

 

“Come. I'll show you how to get to the city. But we must go as humans.”

 

“Why?” No one knows who asked the question, but they really don't care at the present moment. What they want an answer to, is why Toboe was acting like the Leader.

 

“Simple. This place is know for its hunters.” The word “hunters” was filled with so much hate that it caused Tsume and the others to actually fear what would happen if you make Toboe angry enough, little did they know it wouldn't be long till they find out. The one thing they would want him to do to prove that he was a really wolf and not just some pet would be the one thing they least expect from him.

 

 

 

TBC…?

 

So what do you think? I don't think it was too bad for my first try. (Considering I changed these things around so many times I was sick of it). So I like feed back. Flames are welcome though you will not like my response ^.^

 

SOOOO REVIEW!! I like to know what people think and if you have any suggestions, I'll try my best to use them.
