Chapter 5: Adventure
Author Note:
Yeah I know what your thinking. Why did he put a author note at the beginning of the story?! Well glad you asked! The reason why there's one here is because this is a warning. No not THAT kind of warning, But a bad grammer(?), awkward situation and a semi lewdish Wolf warning. Well, you'll see soon enough. Anyway, onward with the story!
I woke up in the middle of the night to howling in the distance. I tried to get up but a wing was holding me down. Wait....a wing? I look over to my side to see that jake covered me with his wing. It probably gotten cold during the night. I moved it away and immediately regretted it. I was freezing my fur off!
Alexa was covered by Jake's tail so she wouldn't be cold too. They both looked so comfortable. "I should find and make them breakfast." I thought to myself. I leave our makeshift campsite and start looking for anything edible.
I could hear faint chirps of the birds in the trees as I walk through the forest. Stepping on twigs, breaking them easily with a light steps. I pick them up since they will be useful for a fire later on. I found a few berries not to far from where I picked the twigs up at. These are raspberries! I can turn these into jam if I had something to smash it with. I walk some more, not finding anything since the berries.
"What else can I use to make food......" I told myself while looking around.
"Looking for food?" I hear a husky voice behind me. I look around to find the voice but I couldn't see them. "Over here." The voice said with some menace. I look to where the voice came from to see a big grey wolf. An actual wolf. "You're trespassing on my territory." The (probably male) wolf said. I take a step back. "I-I'm sorry, I was looking for food to feed my friends." The wolf glares at me making me tense up. "Tell me the real reason why you're on my territory." He demanded. He was definitely a male and a alpha to make this even better. "Why do I feel chains on me?" I open my muzzle to speak. "I was looking for food." I told him. The wolf stopped glaring and gave a blank expression. The chains were gone the moment he stopped glaring. "Very well. You'll come with me to my pack." He said and started to walk away. I felt the chains and but this time they were pulling me towards the wolf.
"What is this feeling?" I asked him. He stopped and looked at me struggling against the 'chains'. "Have you ever been commanded?" He tilted his head when he asked me. I shake my head. "I don't even know what you mean by that." He sighs and sits. "What are you? I know you're not a normal wolf." The wolf looks my up and down for the first time. "You actually look more human!" He couldn't believe his eyes.
"H-hehe..... Well I'm actually both...." I told him. He looks at me. "So you mean that your parents were a human and a......" He didn't want to say it. He started to get really embarrassed when the thought came to his head. I knew what he was trying to say judging by the very noticeable blush. "No no no no no! I was transformed!" I told him waving my arms around trying to dismiss that thought. He sighs in relief. "Good! I don't ever want to think of that again! Well maybe....." I also sigh in relief. Wait what?
"Anyway." He said while getting more comfortable. "There are alphas, like myself, who uses their power to grow and protect their pack." I nod. "We use what is called a 'command'. With this we stay in power and control our pack." I tried to listen to every detail he said but I got lost and didn't understand. "Alright let's go." He gets up and starts walking again. I feel the 'command' making me follow him.
It felt like we been walking for ages. It was still cold and dark out but it was probably an hour since I left camp. I'm sure that Alexa and Jake are already awake and probably eating right now.
At camp site
Normal POV
The purple and red dragon lay lazily on the log waiting for the navy blue wolf to return. As for the fox, she was cooking what seems to be eggs and meat.
"Jake, are you sure you don't know where Tim went?" Asked the fox.
"I'm certain that I have no idea where that fur ball went." Said the dragon. "I'm just surprised he left since it was extremely cold this morning."
"Oh and thanks for covering us." The fox went back to cooking. The dragon just nods. "I've been wondering.... Why did you save us back there?" The Fox girl asked. The Dragon sat up properly and cleared his throat
"Our mission was to rescue any and all test subjects from the extermination unit." The dragon seemed a little distraught. "You and Tim were the only survivors out of the 700 test subjects...." He sighed. "Now my mission is to take you both back to base so they can scan you for whatever the extermination unit did to you." He lays back down on the log.
"So...tell me more about yourself." The fox said while turning the meat. She had her back turned to him but she had her attention on him. The meat was deer meat. Freshly caught and is being cooked to it's full potential.
"Well, I was born and raised in San Diego, California. We were celebrating my 17th birthday at the beach and had a cookout. Everyone that I knew was there, my parents, my sister, my grandparents, friends, cousins, aunts and uncles, even my boyfriend." He paused then continued with his story. "We had so much fun...if only nothing bad happened...they wouldn't... Anyway, when it was time to blow out my candles, I started to get pains all over my body. It was so painful... It was hundred times worse when the scales and wings came..." He breath get shaky. "Sorry but this is really hard to talk about..." He told her with a sad tone.
"What happened?" The fox girl asked. She turned to face him.
The dragon took a deep breath. "After I transformed, My family, my friends, my boyfriend, stared at me with horror and fear...I was afraid too...afraid that they wouldn't love me anymore... That was when the first extermination happened. Soldiers in body armor rush to the area we were in. They commanded everyone expect me to leave the area so they can 'take care' of me. No one moved. They fired a warning shot, but it did nothing. Everyone died that day. My Father and mother died trying to stop them. My aunts and uncles helped my parents but they also got shot down... They shot my sister when she tried to run away.. Then shot my cousins who wanted revenge. They shot my boyfriend who stood in front of me...to block the bullets...." He finishes.
He puts his arm over his eyes to hide tears, but the fox still saw a stream run down his cheek. She goes back to cooking feeling bad for asking when she couldn't stop a tear go down hers. "He had it worst...."
With Tim and Wolf
Tim's POV
We finally made it to his pack. It took longer than expected when he stopped and told me that I need to walk on all fours. "Why do I need to do this again?" I asked him as we entered the pack den. He looks at me. "Do you want me to tell them that you're cross-species?" He gives smug grin and blushed a bit as if he wanted to tell everyone in fine detail how it was performed. "The story will be passed down for generations!" He told me with too much joy. "He can't be serious right? Right??." There were so many wolves here. Almost all of them turned their head to look at me. I can feel the confusion and curiosity from their stares.
"I'll just head back-" "No." I looked at alpha wolf. "Excuse me?" I ask him. "I said no. You're not leaving till the ceremony is over." 'What ceremony?' I asked myself as i was lead to a small platform. All the pack members gathered around the platform.
"Fellow packmates." Alpha started. "I have brought a lost pup to join our pack. He is a mix breed. Human and wolf." I can hear the pack members whisper to each other. "Imagine how strong our descendants will be with this rare breed in them. They'll be able to live longer and expand our pack more-" I ran as fast I could out of there.
As I ran through the forest I could hear the howling and growls not too far behind. I maneuvered between the trees in an attempt to lose them. It didn't since they were still hot on my tail. I saw a hole up ahead and came up with a plan. 'Jump in the hole, wait for them to leave, get out of hole, go back to camp.' I jumped in the hole and immediately regretted it. I grabbed one of the vines that was growing on the sides of the hole to prevent me from falling to far down. I can't even see the bottom! Starting to climb down, I hear the growls of the wolves from above. "Get back here!" One of them yelled. I just kept climbing down. "We'll be waiting up here!" Another one said. "This is the biggest mistake you could have done." I hear the alpha of the pack say with much displeasurement.
It's been an hour since the alpha spoke and I'm not even at the bottom yet. The farther down I go, the dirtier and colder I get. I start shaking from how cold it is, it's even colder than this morning! And I can't go back up because they're waiting up there.
At the top of the hole.
The wolves left an hour ago.
Back to Tim
'I must keep going!' I encouraged myself to keep going deeper. The walls of the cave, I think it's a cave, seem wet the more I keep going. This is not a hole. This is definitely a cave. It's also dark, pitch black actually. I can't see a thing while climbing down. I keep going since I have no other option.
~Time Skip 7 hours. Night time, 8:24pm at camp site~
Alexa's POV
Jake went flying around the forest in search of Tim while I wait here to see if he comes back. It's been 8 hours since we woke up and Tim hasn't came back. Jake said that once we find tim we would go back to his base. If he goes back without them, well he said he'll be in trouble. I hope Tim comes back soon. This forest is getting scary.....
Jake's POV
"TIM!!!!" I call out flying over the forest we slept in last night. I've been searching for 4 hours now and no sign of Tim. If I don't get his furry butt back and head over to base, we'll all be in trouble. It's getting dark enough that i can't see the ground from where I am. I'll have to make another search in the morning.
Tim's POV
The cave is still going deeper then I expected. How long have I been down here for? Hours? Days?! I can't think straight. I'm cold, I'm hungry, I'm thirsty, I'm tired. I just want to be back at the camp snuggled under Jake's wing. It was so warm.... Huh? I felt an hole in the wall with my padded foot. I climbed more down and stopped at the opening. It was big enough for me to fit in. I climbed into the hole and laid down. My body was hurting and I was shaking really bad. I probably got sick while climbing. I closed my eyes and rested.
To be continued..........
