asleep. Well might as well take a walk.

 

Cronos exited the home it was still slightly dark. Cloudy day. He said to himself, he smiled, I’ve got enough time to go to the forest and return, before school starts I can go. He made a run for the forest though he couldn’t run all the way. He panted as he ran and walked to the forest. 

 

He finely arrived at the edge of the forest. Better hurry and look, I can’t stay long. He turned hearing a sound. He looked and listened for another sound, but didn’t see anything. He shrugged seeing it was nothing. Then a grey fur ball tackled him. He rolled in the snow Cronos heard some laughter. Not again! He realized he was on his back facing a grey wolf with scars all over him. Oh no…

 

“You’re not…” the grey wolf replied, “You’re a lot smaller up close, you reminded me of…” the grey wolf paused. "It's better if I don't find him, I know his gone but..."

 

Cronos heart raced, what do you want? He could see the grey wolf was a hunter and really strong. If he wanted to kill he would have, or did he mess up? The thoughts pounded at his head, giving him a headache. The cold snow on his back made him move. 

 

“Sorry.” The grey wolf apologized to him, and with that he left as swiftly as he came. What was that about? He turned and realized the rolling he did twisted his ankle. Now I have to limp straight to school. He started he long march to his school. What did that wolf mean, ‘you reminded me of someone.’ Who could mistake him for anyone? These thoughts stayed with him till he got to the school or rather the boiler room. He got there faster then he wanted he slightly growled. 

 

When he arrived he could see he was running a little late. Oh well I’m here. He looked for Cinder he saw him at the corner as usual.

 

“Hey Cinder.” He called to his brother limping his way there.

 

“Cronos! You gave mom a heart attack! When you left early, with out telling anyone I might ad.” He laughed with Cinder after long laughter he continued, “Seriously! Dad went out looking for you.”

 

“What dad?” He asked starting to regret hevily what he had done.

 

“Yep, and mom thought you might’ve ran away.” Cinder replied to him. He to thought he might have ran away.

 

“Well that’s dumb where would I run to, we live in the middle of nowhere.” Cronos was rather baffled by the thought of him running away. He tilted his head at the question.

 

Cinder laughed at that, “Yeah, so you’re still limping?" He asked.

 

“Yeah a lot better though.” Cronos sighed, “The two mile run gosh I’m going to set the record two hours one mile an hour!” He declared out. “I’ll be remembered that way.” He faked a smile to his brohter.

 

“Maybe but we’re paired up I can’t leave you behind.” Cinder reminded him with a smile.

 

“We have problem then, I’ll drag you to be a loser just leave me.” Cronos told his brohter his tone strict. 

 

“No way! I’d rather be last every race then leave you.” Cinder declared to his brother.

 

“It won’t be worth it.” He whispered to himself.

 

“Alright everyone now that everyone’s time is better for the two mile will do three today.” The teacher announced. Great I’ll limp the three miles.  Cronos thought to himself.

 

Cinder grumbled, yeah my brother is beat to a cat toy now he has to run a three-mile he can only limp! I want to kill that teacher. I wish someone would kill him. He kept his thoughts to himself at all times no matter what he thought.

 

“Alright follow me please.” The teacher told the pups, they all followed, but Cronos still limped and Cinder refused to leave him. They arrived at the line two minutes late. Cinder growled at anyone who would make a statement about it.

 

“Just go straight nothing more.” The teacher explained.

 

Cinder looked at his brother as his ears perked up, “We should do this tomorrow, a small storm is coming I can smell it.”

 

The teacher scoffed, “every one will be back here before it reaches the two-mile marker.” Yeah everyone expect me will be back. The teachers voice broke his thoughts, “Ready set go!” The pups bolted as they always did but he limp ran, he cost him more energy then a normal run but it wasn’t walking speed. He tripped a few times landing on his shoulder, he growled as each time hurt more then the last.

 

Cinder kept at his brother’s side not caring what time he got. At the two-mile marker he turned to look at Nome. He widened his eyes. Oh no!! Cronos was right! He can’t smell on land storm but the sea storm. The storm was at Nome and half way to them.

 

“Cronos?” Cinder asked his brother, he replied, “I know we have to hurry..but" 

 

Cronos growled, "I refuse to go back!”

 

Cinder protested at his brother he looked back at the storm, “You fool it isn’t worth your life!”

 

“It is for me!” He yelled at his brother with anger in his voice.

 

“What are trying to prove you’re strong by limping though a storm!” Cinder was angry with his brother. "You plan on dieing?!" 

 

“It’s my only chance! We, Uh! You wouldn’t know!” Cronos yelled out forced him self away from his brother’s side and ran off the trail.

 

“Cronos!” Cinder howled after him, he started in pursuit. “Can’t you see that’s off the trail?” Cinder caught up easily to Cronos and tackled him out of rage. The two rolled in the snow; it was now getting windy and snowy air. Cronos yelled at his brother for tackling him and starting yelping rather loudly. 

 

“You idiot!” Cronos yelled out inbetween yelps of pain.

 

“Who’s the idiot? You’re going to die if you stay out here!” Cinder yelled to his brother the cold wind blowing in his ears.

 

He yelled out his hardest ingouring the pain he was in, “I CAN’T WALK!”

 

It took a moment for Cinder to realize what that meant. Crap I crippled him! I can’t carry him I’m not that strong! Cinder felt his heart race, as he started to panic and paniced whimpers took over his voice, what to do? What to do?

 

Cronos told him what to do, “Just get dad!” Cronos tried to move but left front leg wouldn’t allow it. Darn it I must have broken it! Cinder painfully blamed himself.

 

“But.” Cinder started confussion and worry.

 

“No I’ll be fine just get dad mom I don’t care! Just get someone to get me out.” Cronos grunted out. The pain was growing in his leg. Cinder nodded seeing only arguing would cost time. Cinder ran as fast as he could to Nome the snow was getting blinding, he slowed down, me paws are cold, no hurry! Cinder screamed at himself.

 

He made it back to town where he could see the teacher and the other pups around with some older ones, he growled at them though they couldn't hear. He didn't trust the teacher who he knew could help Cronos, but doubted it he gave the teacher a quick glare before starting out again.

 

It had only been ten minutes since Cinder left but Cronos felt himself freezing he shrived the most he had ever done before. He tried counting to get him focused on something but was jettering and couldn't count to 5. He could see an body moving towards him Now what?!

 

The body turned to a wolf pup a grayish white one, he came over to him. “Hey, you cold?”

 

He answered jettering, “Dieing.”

 

“Very well I see your leg broken, but by looks it was fractured before it broke.” What is this wolf talking about? Cronos tilted his head trying to figure the wolf out.

 

“You’re going to die, but not if I have to say about, I have.” The grey white wolf said to him, the wolf pup slightly laughed "You don't mind that talk do you?"  He shook his head not knowing what he was talking about.

 

“What’s your name?!” He asked the wolf pup. Man he knows a lot.

 

“Fang, now this will hurt but I’ll stick mainly to your right side k.” Fang told him, he nodded his head taking an ice chilling breath of air. Fang bit Cronos scruff on the right side, he felt it but also didn’t. He started dragging Cronos. After a little dragging Fang noticed he wasn’t shivering, “Crap!” Fang increased his speed. He knew when they stop shivering that means hypothermia, from what he had been taught.

 

Cronos felt himself getting tired he closed his eyes then a Sharpe pain stabbed at his side. “Ouch!” He yelped jolting his eyes at Fang, “What was that for?!”

 

“If you sleep you’ll die so I will force you stay awake using pain only.” Fang yelled out against the wind, closing an eye feeling both eyes getting cold.

 

“Well that hurts!” He whimpered he complained in tired voice.

 

“Better than dieing.” Fang uttered under his breath, as he hit Cronos in the left leg, he yelped out again loudly. He kept this up till they reached a cave going with the wind so no snow wasn’t getting in.
