you to kill me,” I smiled and she snapped. She lunged all her weight strait at me which I easily stepped out of the way of. She turned her body immediately after landing and changed at me, her muzzle open wide showing all her sharp fangs. She stuck her neck out and snapped her jaw at my head. I lowered it in time to snap my head back up where she bit smashing my head into her lower muzzle. She yelped and jerked her head back which opened me to gripping her neck into my jaws. I spun her hard into the grin only making her mutter another yelp. I snarled and stepped back looking into her dumfounded and fearful eyes.

 

            “Maybe this time you’ll heed my warnings,” I growled and turned away from her to face her just as surprised comrades. I head her struggle to her paws behind me but only to crawl away.

 

            “Arson is going to be pissed,” grumbled one of the males, “he’s gonna think the girl did it”

 

            I was about to question the male before the female I just fought began to speak

 

            “Who are you,” the beaten female whimpered.

 

            I turned towards her confused at the question. “Just some loner, you said it yourself,” I

 

 Snorted and turned back away from her. The males that traveled with her stayed back from me and I looked around at them. I hung my head and walked away upset. I knew that the friends I once had and the bonds with other wolves, I would never have again. All I would meet in these meek woods would be enemies, more wolves trying to pick fights and kill.

 

            I sighed and turned my head back at the pack that ambushed me which was now gone then returned to my walk to no specific place. As I walked I looked around the large trees and the overgrown foliage that sprouted from the rough soil. I finally gave in and crumpled under my own weight and laid down on the uncomfortable ground.

 

            “What the hell am I supposed to do now,” I said, thinking out loud. I knew I couldn’t go back to that camp where they pitched wolf after wolf to try and kill me in battle, forcing me to take them out first. However, I had made a few good friends with my same views that thought of running with me but couldn’t leave their families. It was easy for me to run I had no one; my mother was killed by the wolf I hate more than any other, my father. I was also an only child so had no sisters or brothers.

 

            I had no choice but to stay here, and something inside me wanted to, but the lack of good company made me not want to. I got composure of myself and tried to get back up but my body had no desire to. Lack of food finally caught up to me and I was obviously drained because of it. Still laying I sniffed the air for prey or something to eat but regrettably found something else. It was a male and a smaller female. I got to my feet quickly and tried to get to hiding jumping into an overgrowth of shrubs. I did not want to have to fight again so only hoped they would trail away or be too distracted to sense me. Neither of those options happened, I heard them approaching and ducked lower into my hiding place.

 

            “Kay you’re so dumb,” the female said laughing.

 

            Kay, according to what the female said, was still laughing, “Well it’s true isn’t it?”

 

            The female’s laughter suddenly stopped and I cringed as I saw her sniff the air. She started to growl a bit and head right towards the shrubs I hid in.

 

            “Leva! What are you doing?” Kay shouted.

 

            “There’s a wolf in there” Leva growled, towards me.

 

            I gulped and was about to run away as fast as I could.

 

            “Is it one of Arson’s hunters?” Kay muttered.

 

            I remembered the males that talked about some wolf named Arson which caught my attention stopping my urge to run. I stepped close to try and hear them better but didn’t realize how close to the exit of my hiding place I was. I looked up and saw both the wolves I spotted growling at me. I gave a stupid and exaggerated smirk. “Uh, hi,” I muttered

 

            “Hello,” said Leva with a false kindness and smile. Immediately after she had me on my back pinned under both of her paws. I didn’t know how she did it and even more how she kept me held. I struggled and fought to get free from her but couldn’t and the male had already begun sniffing me. He came up with a questionable and confused look.

 

            “This guy’s not Arson’s but I can’t tell you whose he is,” Kay said.

 

            “I’m Pivot, I’m not anyone’s,” I said still struggling under Leva’s paws. Both Kay and Leva looked at each other moderately unconvinced. They turned to me and Leva carefully took her paws off me, and I stumbled to my feet and exchanged glances with them. I saw their claws dug in the earth showing they were ready for attack. I had no intentions to attack either of them but I was tempted to bolt away. However, my curiosity for this Arson character continued to nag at me. “So, I guess I should thank you to start with,” I said gulping, “like I said I am Pivot, if you don’t mind me asking your names?”  Of course I already know their answers but they didn’t know that.

 

            Both of them nodded and Leva answered first, “I’m Leva and this is Kay, and if you don’t mind we shouldn’t be sticking around, so we’ll be off now.”

 

            I stepped in the direction she was headed and she stepped back a bit and growled. “So your Kay and Leva, those hunter’s sure seemed pretty focused on finding you,” this made her growl even louder, “and after what I did I’m sure they are sending more out, and I’ve made an addition to that list.”

 

            Kay growled very loudly and stepped right in my face, “What the hell are you talking about”

 

            I was unfazed by his threat and snapped at him, “Listen bud I’m not trying to get on your bad side. Now. If you want to know what I’ve done follow me,” I glared at Kay and he glared back as I turned to head in the direction of the hunter wolves I ran into earlier. I could only sent the beaten females blood which was probably still scattered on the ground as I headed towards the small clearing of trees. Kay and Leva trotted flank to flank not far behind me as I walked into the clearing. I gagged a bit and noticed the female torn apart by other wolves. I turned and faced Kay and Leva with a startled look; they look just as sickened as I did.    

 

            “We need to get out of here I whispered quietly and gestured for the two to turn around.

 

            Just as they did we became surrounded. The same guards I fought with not long ago plus other hunter wolves began to walk a circle around us.

 

            Leva barked and growled, “What is this Pivot!”

 

            I was growling as well, “Looks like the friends of that female I killed.”

 

            Kay mumbled under his breathe but I could hear him, “what the hell,” he turned to me now speaking clearly, “you did that!”

 

            Before I could answer one of the males surrounding us laughed, “No, we did!”

 

            I growled loudly, “her injuries were no where near fatal why would you do something this horrible.”

 

            The male smiled and continued, “of course they weren’t. We needed someway to get you back; we thought her blood would tug at your hunger.”

 

            I growled again, “That does not even make sense.”
