I've been thinking, I might re-write Chapters 1 and 2 to make them more interesting. I can keep the old 1/2 for a recap. As for the next step in the Pack series... I might do a semi-prequel set during when they were learning how to hunt... I think I skipped over a lot of potential ideas. I might even chop and change the entire thing. Keep your eyes peeled.

If you haven't tried the Tulia's Pack game? Can you click on my Signature and play it? I'd really love to see what you think of it.

Chapter 19: War Unfolds

As the bombs hit the ground, the earth shakes with a mighty tremble. The Dark Reapers are progressing over the hills and valleys as wave after wave of Slig try to shoot them with machineguns. The Slig general was walking alongside his troops, motioning them and yelling orders. His red leader jacket was really quite a sight to behold. The army had almost been driven back, but he put his own life in danger to save his men. The Dark Reapers started trying to group together, but the flamethrower and rocket units picked them off and the battle was won. “Sir, Sir!”, a young recruit walked up to him. The Slig Commander looked down to see his advisor standing nearby, “The battle is won, Flutol”. The little Slig saluted and walked away to record the result of the battle. The commander wiped his head with a cloth, “I have to find the rest of them”. With that, the commander picked up his heavy-duty rifle and headed in the direction the Dark Reapers came from.

After a few miles of walking, he heard noises and peered through the trees. He saw a large group of Dark Reapers up ahead, moving around in a circle. He held his rifle steady. Suddenly the Dark Reapers moved, possibly to attack something else. The commander waited and then followed them. He tried not to make any kind of noise on the ground, but it was still wet from the rainfall. He nearly slipped but grabbed himself just in time and kept steady.

Lara woke up and ran towards Ulric. Ulric knew what the news would be. He picked up his spear, Silpher picked up his own spear. Lara gasped, “They’re on their way”. Lorn stood up and whistled to the hybrids. “Everyone, this time we’re prepared. Let’s give them a real fight”. The hybrids yelled “Yeah!” in approval. Silpher and Ulric knew that this wouldn’t be easy, but they would have to push hard in order to survive. Tulia was nervous, she didn't want to lose Silpher. The hybrid who she had been most close to and cared for the most. If Silpher died... she'd want to stay alone. But there were only five female hybrids in the entire group. What if something happened to the other girls? She would be forced to sacrifice her honour for the sake of breeding the next generation of hybrids. With all this in mind, she walked up to Silpher. Silpher looked at her, "Tule...". Tulia stopped him, "We can talk later. I care very much for you and for the clan. Let's give these Mites something to remember". Silpher smiled, "Yeah. Let's drive them back into the darkness!". Everyone cheered and the hunt was on. The hunters became the hunted.
