Apaulo’s spikes. “MY GOD!!!, I KNEW there was something weird about him. Get away Niju.” Tac commanded his son.

            “What is he dad?” Niju said surprised.

            “He is a mutant, an outsider, a demon.” Tac said right in Apaulo’s face. Apaulo began to cry again, and Dart ran infront of Tac. “DART GET OUT OF MY WAY!, He must be destroyed.”

            “Why? He hasn’t done anything wrong! So he looks different, that doesn’t mean he’s not normal.” Dart said enraged. The other Alphas began to stare at Apaulo and at the whole scene. “C’mon Apaulo let’s go home.”

            “YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO HIDE HIM DART! We will find him and dispose of him.” Tac said threateningly.

Dart’s cave, Wolf Ridge, night time

            “Dear, it’s just as I feared, there’s a whole mob outside what do we do?” Breeze said in fear.
           

            “We must hide him.” Dart told his mate. Dart ran to the back most part of the cave where Apaulo was. ‘Apaulo listen to me, remember what I said about your running, well forget about that, I want you to run as fast as you can, from here, quickly, NOW!”

            “ As fast as I can?!” Apaulo asked not knowing what to expect.

            “”YES! Now go GO!” Apaulo went out through the back exit of the cave and ran. Mean whie inside the cave the mob was searching for Apaulo in the cave.

            “DAMN he isn’t here.” Tac said frustrated. “WHERE IS HE!?”

            “We don’t know, he ran away when we brought him back home. Breeze told him trying to reassure him.

            “We’re not buying it. HE IS STILL HERE! Tell us where he is or we’ll tear this place apart trying.” Tac commanded them.

            “WE DON’T KNOW!” Dart yelled at him.

            “We were good friends Dart, tell me!’

            “NO!” Dart said scratching Tac in the face. Everyone gasped at this.

            “FINE! Dismantle this place form the ground up until you find the mutant! I gave you you’re chance Dart.” Tac walked out as the wolves began wrecking the cave.

            Meanwhile, in the woods, Apaulo hid in a bush as he watched his home collapse. “MAMA, PAPA! NOOoo! (cries)” Apaulo became so sad at the fact that his home was destroyed, and his parents were killed in the collapse. Then Apaulo heard someone padding up behind him.

            “Do not worry young one, stay here, I shall return.” It was Nava reassuring the pup that everything would be alright. Nava walked towards the mob infuriated. “WHAT HAPPENED HERE!?” He yelled out. “WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS!?” Nava was enraged. Tac stepped out.

            “I am Alpha Shawman. There was a mutant wolf in your sons cave. It was your sons choice to not reveal the mutants location.” Tac explained.

            “THAT MUTANT WAS MY GRANDSON!” Nava yelled at Tac.

            “We-we-we know that….. wait are you saying you don’t care?” Tac asked surprised.

            “NO! So he was different, that matters not. What mattered was that he had a family that died in vain, for no reason, innocent lives gone, for what?” Nava turned around and walked toward the now collapsed cave. “Oh my son, why?” nava faced the mob. “GO TO YOUR HOMES! FORGET WHAT HAS HAPPENED TONIGHT!” Nava commanded them, and the mob turned and went to their individual homes. Tac hesitantly walked back also followed by Niju who always kept looking back at the rubble.

            “That little freak got what he deserved.” Niju said to himself.

Shawman’s Home, Wolf Ridge, night

            Nava went back to his home hearing weeping within, he went inside and saw Apaulo covering his eyes. “Don’t worry young one, you are safe.”

            “M-mama, p-p-papa……” Poor Apaulo felt alone.

            “I will take of you, now go to sleep, everything will be better in the morning.” It took a while but Apaulo fell asleep laying down besides Nava. That night Nava had a dream. The white wolf spoke to him, about Apaulo’s destiny.

            “He has the ability to use athletic, offensive and defensive combat tactics. You being like him shall be responsible.” In the morning Nava knew what to do with this new pup.

            “I shall train him, and in the future when he’s ready, he shall become the guardian of the floating Island.
