Chapter 5, Forest oh forest

Recap

I turned around as picked up the bags I drooped after gasp/snorting. As I got to the end of the boundaries of forest, I let out a calling howl, calling the two back to me as I left two wolves were running next to me, a black one with white on his chest, Jack. And a white one that had a black paw, Isabella. I smiled at their wolves they were big, but smaller than mine.

They looked like Yin and Yang as they ran on either side of me my brown pelt making it look even more majestic, I was always ahead showing dominance as I lead them back to my brother, I knew we wouldn’t get there tonight but we had a good start.

Stopping to look at the area around me I turned to see Isabella and Jack stop and sit waiting for orders.

I let out a smile as they didn’t have to be so… Formal I guess? I turned my head as I looked into the starry night sky; we had been running for hours. Judging by the moon it’s about 2:30am. Trying to decide when to stop I looked around at our surroundings.

It was a range of mountains covered with a thick forest you rarely got to see the sky. The undergrowth was more than just thick, it vines, roots, ivy, and other plants. I walked forward through the oak, pine, maple, and many more types of trees, (I’m not good with trees, just animals) they all seemed to have an off but calming feeling.

Stopping dead in my tracks I snapped my head as realization hit my face. I let out a strong howl calling to the all the animal in the forest, showing freedom of wolves, that there is peace even in war, no matter what happens.

I looked forward when I stopped my howl as I sat down. Isabella and Jack looked at me confused at first but as the scent hit their snouts they looked at me wondering how I knew for the scent was in the wind just right that I could not smell it.

I looked straight at the figure in front of me, she knew exactly who I was, and how I knew she was there.

“You’re breathing still, Tenna. I feared the worst but knew you would live,” she stated with a smile planted on her face and cheerful eyes.

I nodded and walked behind a tree, shifting I put on some clothes. I had on a navy blue t-shirt with a black jacket with white zippers; I had dark blue skinny jeans and black high boots with silver buckles on the side.

My long platinum blonde hair swayed as I stuck my head out from behind the tree. I grabbed two black sweat shirts with some blue skinny jeans and black with grey striped sweat pants. I threw them at Isabella’s and Jack’s wolves, they simply nodded and went behind different trees.

“Really I thought you knew I would live, and know when a distressed witch has claimed an area, let alone nearby.” I said with a smile to the witch, and best friend in front of me.

She laughed her brown hair stopped at the middle of her back; it had natural blonde streaks in it. She had hazel eyes with freckles and a sweet face. She was wearing a grey tank top with a big iris flower coming from her left waist to the middle of it, she had black skinny jeans on with grey running shoes, and they had mud coming up from the sides. She also had on a jean button up jacket.

“I had no doubt in you, I just feared for my friend.” She stated with watery eyes obviously not believing I was alive, well, and in front of her talking.

“Feared the worst for your friend? Samantha Ericka June, you are not just a mere friend! You are, and forever will be my best friend no doubt, no buts, no stops, always and forever.” I told her with a large smile creeping up on my face as I stared at her.

“Thank you, thank you for surviving the wipeout, thank you for being my friend, thinks you for breathing, thank you for being you Tenna. But before you kill me for what I am going to tell you hear me out.” As she thanked me tears rolled down her face I could smell them and the wetness fall onto my shirt as she cried out, but her last sentence more than just decided to catch my attention I felt fear creep into me as I knew what she was going to say.

The legend is true isn’t it Tenna!  Secret said in my mind as I shivered at the thought.

Isabella and Jack must have noticed because the next thing I know, I’m behind a snarling Isabella and jack who were choking Samantha.

“What did you do, witch, why did she tense? WHAT DID YOU DO TO THE MOONWOLF?” Jack snarled at me his lips curling into bared teeth.

“Leave her alone, Jack.” I snarled back at her as he immediately let go of her and bowed his head in submission.

“But Moon Wolf, how do you know we can trust that witch?” Isabella asked me with a look of disgust as she said witch.

“That witch is my best friend, Isabella, and her name is Samantha, or Sammy.” I told her with a growl that rewarded me with a bow of submission from her.

 Walking up to Sammy I looked at her panting self. I looked at her neck, it was bruised and covered in claw marks, and Jack must have clawed her then suffocated her. I felt my eyes go gold with power, my hands tingled as my nails hardened and grew outward.

“What did you do to her?” I asked as Secret’s voice leaked into mine.

“I thought she hurt you, I’m sorry Moon Wolf, I would call you Alpha but we are not in a pack.” Jack said with sorrow in his voice.

I let out a sigh as I shook my head, then faced Samantha again and asked, “Are you ok, or do I need to kill little Jackie for you?”

Jack tensed as he looked at me with eyes of pleading.

“I’m fine.” She said plainly standing up brushing her legs up I noticed she was hoping I forgot what she said earlier.

“Thank you for sparing me Moon Wolf.” Jack told me with a bow.

Raising my eyebrow at him I announced, “And why don’t you and your sister stop calling me Moon Wolf and call me by my name, Tenna that is.”

“Of course M- umm Tenna,” They both said as they bowed, I simply laughed and they stopped their bow mid-way taking my laugh as a go ahead and stop bowing.

Smiling I nodded as they looked at me in question then I turned my head to a nervous hoping I wouldn’t ask Sammy, but of course I had to ask.

“Sammy please tell it’s not what I think, please tell me the truth please Sammy.” I pleaded with fear laced in my voice as she gulped.

“Well I could tell you the first one but then it wouldn’t meet the second ones requirements.” She said with a forced smile as she also had a saddened and fearful voice.

“Sammy, oh please, oh please it’s not true is it?” I asked with pleading eyes again.

She took in a deep breath and gulped, fear laced her voice, fright, pity, and sorrow was shown.

‘Please tell me she’s acting, it can’t be true can it?’ Secret whimpered

‘Oh no, oh no, I fear the worst Secret.’ I told her with a wine escaping my thoughts to my throat.

“The legend is true, Secret, and I have meant the other, male, Moon Wolf that is the sixth werewolf.” Sammy said in her scared voice.

‘I think we’re going to faint, Secret.’ I told her as I felt dizziness find its way to my mind, along with fright.

‘THINK? SHE JUST CONFIRMED OUR WORST NIGHTMARE TENNA!’
