wold?

 

“Yeah, so" replied Saba coolly

 

“How does it feel? Do you miss your little cosy bed?"

 

The way she said it made Saba want to tear her up. She said as if talking to a pup you lost his favorite chew toy; mocking. Before Saba could retort with a comeback a howl hit the air. It was time for the meeting to start. Saba gave the snobby titch a dirty look and turned to walk away. These meetings were held in truce, it would take only a fool to break the peace. Saba couldn't understadn why she was beign treated that way. She hasn't even done anything to deserve it all. This only pushed Saba to prove them wrong. She was sick of bouncing around trying to find a place to call home. 

 

The wolves were gathered around the four stones, the fourth leader was still missign as far as she could see. A leader finally made her way through and leapt gracefully on the the pillar. Saba's jaw dropped. The fourth leader had was a brigth tan color, with bright blue eyes. A single bridge lay on her snout, and she darker ears. Saba wondered how the heck had Alue become pack leader.

 

When her father returned from a long journey to retrieve her runnaway sibling, he had come back empty pawed. She asked where Alue was and he only responed by telling her that Alue had finally found her home. Saba never gave it much thought. somehow she had just assumed that they had come across another town and got her adopted at last. Then again, Saba knew that Alue had a very small chance of ever getting adopted, it was obvious when alue had never been taken home by a child she had. It made even more sense that Alue would easily be accepted as a wolf. Saba felt a small pang of jelousy, who knew how long it would be until she would accepted into the tribe.

 

"The meeting has now come to a start" called out Crossface.                                          

  

The noise died down and everyone gave  the leaders their undivided attention.

 

"I will go first" grolwed Crossface " Things have been just fine. The other day we had a small invasion from the Outsiders, but I doubt they'll show their faces again. We have a new Fighter, Talonclaw."

 

Crossface stepped aside and Surgis shifted forward.

 

"We have three new warriors this month, they were unable to come due to a minor accident. But I also want to warn you all of two outcasts. They have tried to go against our clan and let in then Outsiders. I advise for you to watch your boundaries"

 

Karti stepped forward and addressed the gathering.

 

"We'll keep that in mind. We too have a small issue with Outsider. We even have one held captive right now, and-"

 

"You what?!" exclaimed Alue. Even Crossface frowned on this

 

"I don't think thats a very good idea Karti. He'll only weaken your clan and ;et the rest in behind you backs"

 

Karit narowed her eyes "He is injured and we have someone to keep an eye on him at all times. As a matter of face she is here now. We have two new Juniors with us today, Michigan and Saba"

 

All heads turned to look at them. Saba felt Michigan lift his head up proudly and Saba tried her best to look cool.

 

"A housedog!" exclaimed someone

 

Murmmuring spread through the group and Saba felt her fur stood on end.

 

"Karti, do you really think its wise to allow an pet in to your tribe? Even more to let it watch over a rouge?"asked Crossface "You're putting your Tribe at risk, and further-"

 

"Excuse, but are you the leader of my tribe?"

 

"No but-"

 

"Then let me decided what I should or should not be doing" she snapped to the clan leader

 

"Either way Karti" said Surgis, a low growl rumbling in his throat " It doesn't take a genius to see that its a ig risk to let a human slave in. Alue, what do you think"

 

Saba gulped nervously. Would her sister side with the other leaders, or stay loyal to family? Alue look uncertain for a moment, as if she didn't know what to choose.

 

"It is something different, but anyone can build their way up to becoming strong. Who know's, she might have some wolf blood from our ancestors"

 

Several out bursts and protests came from the group below. Only Alue's own clan remianed silent, but there expressions told her that they didn't like much what thier leader was saying. Saba fury rise in her. They all discussed it like it was thier problem. But what about her? They weren't asking how she flet about the whole situation. Saba felt like she didn't have to sit here adn feel bad. No one was forcing her to hear this. Sana stood up abruptly and turned to leave.

 

'Where are you going" asked Michigan, but she didn't answer. Saba walked out and as soon as she was far enough, she ran.

Hetcha was only laying around like he usually was. His leg was healing and doing a lot better, but he still refused to take part of this tribe at all. He began to wonder what he would do next as soon he was completely healed. He didn’t get too far in his mind until he heard someone coming.

The house dog had his meal in her jaw, but she was walking fast. It was a sure sign that she was furious about something. She tossed his share of the food in a rude manner. She was definitely in a foul mood. Hetcha was feeling bored so he decided to play around with her anger, just to amuse himself.

“Gee, did the meeting go really that bad. I guess that’s what happens when you bring a house do-“

“Shut Up!” snarled Saba, as she whipped around. Her fur stood on end, bristling like never before.

“Just shut up! The last thing I need is for something like you to get all smart alecky with me! Just piss off already!”

Hetcha was impressed once again. She obviously didn't take crap from others.

“It probably wasn’t even that big of a deal" he said, still playing with her fury “You house dogs always make a big deal out of nothing, since you’re all spoiled.”

"Oh, I'm sorry" she said in a mocking tone “ I suppose that its not so bad that I’m constantly being pushed aside as a misfit, and can never really find a home! I guess its also not so bad that I have been labeled ‘outcast’ and can never really be accepted! But what crap do you know, you are already a wolf so you can blend in anywhere! You think you can parade around and do what you please, but you can’t! You are no different from the humans themselves, because you DON”T CARE! You’re full of crap and you’re the spoiled one. You do NOTHING but sit around and eat from the food WE get for you!”

Her voice had risen so she was practically shouting. Thankfully everybody was either sleeping or still at the meeting. Both of them stood there bristling at each other. Hetcha was now angry at Saba’s words.

"What do you know?!” he snapped “You don't know what you're talking about! You think that-“

“Oh I don't! How dare you! You don’t know anything of my trials and obstacles. I always have to be thrown around like a pack of unwanted rats! All of my brothers and sisters seem to go along with the world jut fine, except me! I don’t even know WHY I'm marked so different!"

Her voice was beginning to shake. It was apparent that she had never shared her feelings like this before.

“At least you have a family. You don’t have to be a wolf to be fit in all the time” growled Hetcha softly “That is something we both have in common”
