yea... another story...
Prologue to chapter1
Depression raves the open minded, and kills the broken. For what is left to be said is more alive than the very earth you walk on. Can you feel the hatred split you open? Can you feel the people you left behind cry? Is it destroying you? Scream! Let your mind grow. You have caused us so much pain, and now it’s your turn to suffer. I will not allow you to just leave here without feeling all the pain that you deserve. You are making this so hard, it doesn’t have to be this way, and you know it. But you decided to do this the hard way… you chose to try and let every thing you have done fall behind you. You decided to let us suffer in your doing. I hate you, and now you are going to pay.

As I hunt down what I had once loved, I begin to think about what had really happened. I can feel the tears well up in my eyes. My anger drives me to run faster, and I pick up his scent once more. I am so close now… I can almost feel his flesh in-between my jaws… his rich blood filling my sorrow. I am so close, and yet still to far from revenge.
“Timena, wait up!” I can hear my comrades loosing their strength in attempt to keep up. I can’t just stop… I might loose Kirus’ scent. But I guess I must take the risk, for my clans’ safety and my own. Kiru is weak anyway, I can smell his blood.
“Timena!” well I have no other choice, I must stop. As I wait for my clan to catch up to me, I attempt to clean my own wounds and to get all of the teeth out of my leg. I can’t feel it at all… it’s as though I am completely numb.
“I thought you’d never stop.” Konanos’ voice comes up panting franticly, along with the rest of the pack fallowing closely behind.
“I am sorry for leaving you all in such a rush.” I try to get everyone to understand exactly how important this is to me. Konano sits and attempts to help me clean my wounds. I can’t even feel her aura… all I can sense is Kirus’ pain. He is not far now, and he has stopped. I can feel it. The ground is pulsing in rage. We need to catch Kiru before sun down. Or else something is going to happen; something that I feel has a lot of anger. I fear that if we do not act quickly, that innocent lives will be taken, and I fear that those lives are very close to my own life. Killing Kiru is the most important thing that I must keep in mind. If I allow my mind to wander elsewhere I will loose my rush of adrenaline and the pain that is lying dormant in my leg will cause me to become weak. I can not allow myself to become vulnerable; it could very well be the last mistake I ever make.
“Timena… we can not remain here for much longer. I feel that something is going to happen to us if we do, so let’s move on.” Minas’ voice breaks me from my train of thought. Her face is filled with fear, this is extraordinarily rare. Mina is one of the most powerful demons that I have ever known, and if she feels that it is not safe to stay here then we must continue our search for Kiru.
“You are right, let’s go. Konano, Kona, Araru, Hatho, Mirosa, Setto, set out in different directions and be sure to take a few pack members along with you! Mina, you will come with me.” As I finish barking commands I can hear the sharp call of the wild pulling my nose towards the north, I know Kiru is out there, but first I must have Mina heal my leg. Mina whimpers softly and a cold breeze casts its way across my tattered flesh, and in that instant my leg returns to normal. Mina steps back to admire her handy work and then heads towards the north. I quickly run after her and take the lead.
I can smell Kirus’ blood in the air; it’s thick and strong in the wind. Mina comes to a swift halt without warning, I continue to run, and am stopped dead in my tracks with a whimper. I had run into Kirus’ barrier… that wise jerk put up a barrier. Mina steps next to me and runs her nose against the clear wall, and then she steps lightly inside. I rise back onto all fours and shake off. Mina starts off in a run again, I pull myself back into the lead and pull Kirus’ scent out of the air once more, its no doubt Kiru is moving, slowly but definitely moving.
Mina lets out a faint growl, I look ahead only to see Kirus’ brown fur glistening in the pale sunlight. My hearts pace quickens and I speed my run into a full sprint. Mina falls behind so I could finish my task. I jump and latch onto Kirus’ rear right paw; he whimpers in pain and falls to the ground. I jump over his fallen body and slide to a stop in the firm snow. Mina circles the grounds and lets out a powerful howl. Soon are entire pack is gathered at the scene. I circle Kiru fiercely nipping at his every movement. Kiru pulls himself to his feet and lets out a deep loud growl, causing every one but Mina and me to move back.
Kiru limps back a few steps and growls once more; I raise the fur on my back step towards him slowly, and bear my teeth at him fiercely. Kiru lusts at me violently and snaps his teeth at me in rage. Mina steps forward and bears her teeth at Kiru drawing his attention towards her long enough that I manage to pull off a good attack to his neck, but I miss and have to redirect my bite to he right front paw. Kiru yelps in pain as my teeth sink into his flesh. I can feel the warm blood run down my fangs and seep onto the top of my tongue.
I can feel Kiru dig his fangs into my ear, but I refuse to release my hold on his leg. Kirus’ sharp fangs manage their way thru my ear, I ignore it and pull his leg out from under him and he releases his hold on my ear. I take this opportunity to drag him around by his leg and throw him against a tree. He falls back to the ground and remains limp for a few moments, and then forces himself back to his feet. Kiru snarls and limps back to his starting point.
I could see that I had shattered his leg in my last attack. I’m not far from victory now, all I need is one more good attack and he’s finished. Mina snarls and jumps back. This draws my attention away from Kiru, and he takes the opportunity to attack me. I don’t move quickly enough and Kiru grabs onto my neck. I feel his razor sharp teeth sink into my neck and snap shut. I am paralyzed all I can do is yelp out in pain. Kiru growls and puts more pressure behind his bite. I can’t breathe now; my vision is going red… Kiru thrashes me about wit the last powerful ounces of his strength and then his jaws throw me against a large boulder, I go limp.
I can hear Mina growling and snarling as I loose my last seconds of life. I hear one last faint yelp and then pass out cold.

I hear whimpers of sorrow come to tone, and a faint voice calling my name. I can’t help but think that I am dead. But I can’t be. I can smell Mina, and all of the others.
“Is she going to be alright Mina?” I hear a familiar voice break thru the blackness.
“Timena? Are you there? Please wake up Timena; you can’t die on us now. Not after all of this.” Minas’ voice pulls me out of purgatory, I open my eyes and the blurry figures of my own kind come into focus once more.
“I think I am going to be okay now. Thank you Mina, for everything. Right now I just need to rest.” I pull my voice back and then try to go on but I am just too weak to say anything else.
(tell me what you think of this one... if its not good I wont write anymore on it. thankyou,
Misty)
