He stared at me. I stared back and growled visciuosly. He backed away as I approached him. He ran to the porch and grabbed a stick. I nodded and turned around to see Woobie fighting the wolf I didn't recognize. I was about to jump in and help when Fang stepped in front of me.
"You killed Stone and Stream."
"No, I didn't. They were shot. I-"
"YOU RAN AWAY AND DIDN'T HELP THEM!" He lunged at me and dug into my shoulder like before, but actually broke the skin. I grabbed his chest in my jaws and slung him to the side hastily. I growled as he grabbed my shoulder in his jaws I could hear his jaws crunch down and I yelped. I snarled and rolled away. I stood up and lunged before I could gain my balance. Dumb move.
   He easily ducked, so I lashed out a paw as I landed. He grabbed my leg and yanked as hard as he could. I felt a muscle or two tear and bit my tongue to hold in a yelp. I was soon flipped to the ground as he twisted my paw. I felt my shoulder pop out of place. Filling with rage, I reached down and grabbed his scruff. Blood squirted everywhere as I tore a chunk of his flesh out. Fang yelped and snarled. He lunged at me and knocked me onto my back. He stood over me, snarling.
"You do not belong on this earth!" He swung his head down and tore off my bandana, he then was pulled away by the unrecognizable wolf. He seemed to
"Let me teach this Runt a lesson better than my son did."
At that one sentence, with that singular tone, it all flooded into my head faster than a hungry cheetah chasing a gazelle. Memories of my mother and her killer....

I let out a soft yelp as my sister tackled me with a growl and tugged on my ear playfully.
"Pepper, you be careful with Bandit, you hear?" My mother's soft tone soothed my fur, I will never forget her milky voice. Though I am only 6 weeks old, I know so much about this world.
"I will mommy!" Pepper got off of me as Bruno, my brother, gave a demanding bark and helped me up. Twix, my little sister, stood next to Pepper, growling playfully.
"Bruno and Bandit versus me and Pepper. Winner goes to dinner first."
"Sounds delightful." Bruno grunted. I lunged at Twix as Pepper lunged at Bruno, we all tossed and turned, tiny growls erupting from our tiny throats. I knocked Twix over and pinned her. She easily threw me off. Though I was older, I am the runt of the litter, the weakest.
"That's not fair!" I squealed as she pinned me down.
"Pups, be quiet and hide!" I heard our mother growl as she stood up and faced a shrub. Bruno quickly grabbed Twix and me and shoved us beneath a log as he soon crawled in with us. Pepper stood next to our mom, snarling at a wolf with a scar across his face. She had always been over-courageous. The wolf swiftly flung his head and spit something on the ground in front of our mother's body. A windpipe. Something rolled as well. I let out a loud squeal as I realized what it was - mother's head.
Pepper was staring at the wolf now, horror in her eyes.
"M-mummy.....?" Her gaze shifted back and forth from the body, to the head, to the windpipe, and to the wolf again. He grinned in a creepy, evil, mischievous manner and growled lowly, "This area needed a bit of extra coloring to it.... let us add some more, shall we, Rage?" A pup, much older than me and my siblings stood next to him, "Y-yeah...."
Pepper snarled at them, her tail curved over her back defensively. The adult wolf grabbed her scruff and tossed her into the air. As she fell back down towards the earth, he smacked her. Her body slammed into a stone, blood splattered. It poured from her head as life drained from her eyes. Twix yelped and the evil creatures turned their attention to the log. I quickly emerged from the log without thinking.
"Quite bravery, exposing yourself after witnessing your family's death... teach this Runt a lesson she will never forget, but let her live so she carries the pain of having no memory of this but her family's murder." The pup nodded and head my way. He threw me backwards next to Pepper's body. He took his large paw and scraped a claw along my chest twice to form an 'x' marking.
Blood poured from my chest. It was so hard to breath as it felt like my chest was set aflame. He then smacked my head and everything was blurry. The adult picked me up and the last thing I saw was Bruno and Twix as they watched me get carried off into the undergrowth. Their eyes were filled with hurt. I blacked out.

I snarled and lunged at the wolf, pain tearing at my heart. Bruno and Trix were all I had left and I needed to find them one day soon. I miss them badly.
I tore a large chunk out of his chest before he flipped me onto my back and pinned me down. He quickly had his jaws wrapped around my throat and I winced, ready for death. I looked over and saw Fang rake a claw across Woobie's eye and he yelped. I smiled lightly as I watched Woobie tear Fang's ear clean off.
A loud boom rang through the air and he was off me quickly. I got up and saw Woobie crouching. I ducked and crouched as I watched tv's run off in fear.
"I will return!" Barked the dark murderous wolf. When they left, me and Woobie stood next to each other leaning on one another. We began back to the porch, together.
