blacks and see seemed so small and skinny which made Aryan standing beside her to look more like a huge monster. Reaching up Astra slowly began to lick Aryan’s sore muzzle as he just sat down there looking at his reflection without saying a word…

That night when everyone was asleep Aryan remained awake as he tried to remember back to the day when he was at the horrible man made city with the loud noises. They must have released him back for a reason, maybe that reason was to be captured by the Vereor and to cure them, to save them? Or was it help these wolves? Or even maybe to simply destroy the Vereor so man could again return and take what the Vereor had stolen from them? He was only just a single wolf though, he had never been special but what if they made him special what if all those strange chemicals the men played with made him immune again the Vereor? He knew Parvus was no fool and if Aryan was only just starting to piece together the puzzle then he knew Parvus would know it by now which meant that he was destined to be killed which in his mind was better then the fate of becoming one of them again...that thought was unthinkable. 

‘Caelum…’ Aryan whispered picking out Caelum in the dark as he woke up gasping as he looked up at him.

‘What do you want?’ Caelum said bringing his head back down onto the cold ground.

‘I need to ask you a few questions…’

‘I’ve told you all you asked for and wanted to know.’ Caelum said closing his eyes in a huff.

‘I know, thats why I want you to tell me everything I forgot to ask.’ Aryan said seriously as Caelum opened his eyes before sitting up and nodding.

‘What then?’ He said coldly.

‘Do you believe everything they tell you?’

‘Of course the Vereor enjoy too see us in pain and we know that they’ve always told us the truth because we have seen all their truths. When they say your time is up it is…’

‘Yes I know but what if they tell you lies because they know you can’t prove them to be false?’ Aryan said as Caelum shook his head astonished.

‘You dare question them? You ask for trouble no wonder you were turned so quickly after you arrived!’

‘Look at me I am not one of them!” Aryan said in a forced calm taking extreme offensive in being called one of those monsters. ‘Although I do fear them…’ Aryan said standing up and looking away at his reflection in the glass, ‘…and that has made me want to do anything to destroy them to destroy my fear. My fear its going to control me and that is exactly what Parvus wants from me from all of us. We need to let our fear show us the way it’s the only way out of here, our instincts are all we have.’

‘What are we going to do?’ Caelum said with a glint of hope in his cold eyes.

Part 3  

Parvus we have found another wolf in the jungle!’ A Vereor said running up to Parvus who was snoozing in an empty room. ‘What should we do?’

Looking up Parvus stood up before stretching out and yawning, ‘This must be another friend of that Aryan wolf, put him in with Aryan and we’ll see what he has to say for himself.’

‘Yes Parvus.’ The Vereor nodded before running away as Parvus sat back down looking at a screen where he could see all the cages the wolves were in, including one where he could see Aryan sitting down in the light whilst the others hid in the dark. ‘Tell me your secrets…’ His said in a hushed voice before smiling.

‘Let me go I demand to see the Alpha!’ The wolf screamed as the Vereor forcibly lead him down the hallway by a black collar that the wolf was wearing. Aryan hearing the commotion pushed his head up against the glass to try and see down the hallway and didn’t move as the Vereor soon stood fright in front of him on the other side of the glass. Feeling him self shaking Aryan didn’t move and just watched as the wolf was pushed roughly into the cage. ‘Come back here!’ The wolf yelled through the glass snapping at the Vereor wolves who simply ignored him and walked away. Once they had disappeared the wolf simply yawned and sat down beside Aryan who looked at him with a confused expression.

‘Who are you?’ Aryan asked looking at the wolf who smiled up at him.

‘I don’t have a name but you can call me Agent.’ The wolf said its tongue hanging out of its mouth.

‘You are not like the others…’ Aryan said looking into the shadows as Astra and the others hid looking at this new addition to the cage.

‘I’m looking for a certain wolf, named Aryan.’ Agent said looking serious as he stood up looking directly at Aryan.

‘I don’t know him.’ Aryan lied sitting down.

‘I need to get out of this cage and find him!’ Agent said jumping up and pawing at the glass door trying to open it.

‘What’s going on?’ Aryan said standing up beside Agent who was still looking at the door.

‘I’m your salvation my scared pathetic wolf friends!’ Agent said loudly walking towards the wolves in the shadows who all cowered away from him. ‘I have come to save you!’ He continued with a smile as Astra stepped forward.

‘Are…are you sure?’ She said softly looking up at him as Aryan walked between them and looked at Agent with a frown.

‘I have been given a cure in my blood and once I bite the leader I will save you all, the people will come in and take you all to a nice zoo…’

‘Wait a minute.’ Aryan said shaking his head with a smile. ‘You can get us out of here?!’

Agent started to answer but Aryan didn’t hear a word of it as Caelum motioned him away from Agent who was impressing all the others wolves who were all looking for some kind of hope in this strange newcomer.

‘Tell him to be quiet, he will be heard by Parvus.’ Caelum shuddered looking worried.

‘They have good hearing but not that good Caelum and besides he’s going to save us!’ Aryan said smiling and turning to look at Agent who sporting his black collar that had obviously been put on him by the humans.

‘They will know.’ Caelum said frowning and turning around as Aryan walked back over to Agent

‘Maybe you should talk softer please.’ Aryan said deciding that Caelum had always seen sense before.

‘Excuse me?’ Agent said gasping.

‘The Vereor might hear you.’ Aryan said looking to make sure that no Vereor were standing outside the cage.

‘You mean these hybrid wolves? The humans know everything that’s why I’m here to stop them, the previous wolf was a failure and must be dead by now but I will replace him…’ Aryan didn’t take in any words as the word failure hit him hard as everything seemed to make sense. He had been right the humans had used him as a guinea pig to get in here and infect the Vereor and destroy them that’s why he couldn’t be turned fully.

‘Tell me what did they do to Aryan before he came here?’ Aryan snapped turning to Agent who laughed out aloud.

‘He was given an inferior amount of the chemical to kill them where as I will be the savior and return life to this poor forgotten forest.’

‘We the Vereor are not at all inferior…’ Aryan said in a low voice as Agent looked up at him with a strange look. ‘I mean that’s what they said.’ Aryan said biting his lip and looked away as Agent laughed.

‘The Vereor what kind of a name is that?’ Agent laughed out aloud as he walked away leaving Aryan sitting alone.

‘You look sick.’ Astra said calmly walking up beside Aryan who looked down at her. ‘We may finally leave this cage and see the world…’Astra smiled looking up at the ceiling before turning to Aryan and sighing, ‘I heard you talking to Caelum last night…’

‘You did?’ He said looking down at her as she nodded.

‘I want to…’ She didn’t get to finish because they all spun around when two Vereor guards stood at the door looking at them. Instantly all the wolves except for Agent and Aryan ran into the shadows where they cowered pitifully. Standing protectively in front of them Aryan waited patiently.
