because he thought that they should have been more Vereor around but they seemed to have all disappeared it was as though they were letting them get through with not much trouble. Slowing down to a stop Aryan looked around as Astra walked up to him. ‘What’s wrong?’ She asked looking around.

‘It’s to easy…’ Aryan said slowly as he turned around to look all the wolves who all watched him. ‘Caelum…Astra I need you to lead these wolves out of here and if you are attacked don’t stop and fight we need to get the Vereor outside I know man is out there…’ All the wolves suddenly erupted in whispers.

‘What are you going to do?’ Astra asked looking up at Aryan.

‘Parvus is no fool he won’t go outside unless I make him and as long as he is alive neither us nor man will win…’

‘Wait who cares about man!’ One of the wolves yelled angrily as everyone nodded in agreement.

‘The entire forests water supply is polluted they only way it can be fixed is by the men, I don’t know but maybe if we help them by destroying the Vereor they will help us and fix the problem because we all want to be free and that’s the only way we can ever return to the forest In peace. Now I want you to lead as many Vereor outside in the light which I’m pretty sure is straight down this long narrow way and the humans and yourselves will take care of them once I get Parvus then it will end.’ All the wolves cheered loudly at the thought of being returned to the forest and Aryan was glad that the small price they had to pay was helping the humans because he knew that both man and wolf wanted to the same thing and would indeed fight side by side to get it, as he had heard in the mans world, a dog was a mans best friend so why shouldn’t wolves be that also?

Aryan watched as Caelum lead the wolves away but for a moment Astra stayed and walked up beside Aryan who looked down at her. ‘You better go.’ He said softly as she shook her head.

‘Come with us the men can deal with Parvus.’ She said sternly.

‘I need to get him to him first and you the men…’ Aryan said as Astra nuzzled him gently surprising him.

‘Promise me you’ll come back.’ She whispered up at him as he looked down at her with his hazel eyes. Aryan nuzzled her softly before turning around and running down the hall as she watched after him before turning around to follow the others tears quietly falling down her face.

As Aryan walked down the hallway all he could hear was the deathly silence but he still felt as though a thousand eyes were watching him from every single corner of the room. Hearing a sound Aryan spun around but didn’t get to do anything as Parvus bit down hard on the back of Aryan’s neck causing him to yell painfully as he fell to the ground.

Part 8
Parvus laughed like a maniac as he licked the blood off his lips as Aryan slowly stood up and turned around to look at him. ‘Now I have the cure in me and I can never be stopped by man!’ he laughed loudly.

‘I have the cure for the Vereor disease not the other way around.’ Aryan said his voice shaking as he looked up at Parvus who shook his head. ‘No I found the chemical room I mixed everything together and drank it now with your blood I am immune.’ He said with a crazed face as Aryan stepped back away from him.

‘How could you possibly know about chemical and even if you got the right one not even you are that smart?’ Aryan said hoping that he was wrong and that the cure in his blood would still kill him.

‘Oh before I became the Vereor leader I worked here…’ Parvus smiled, ‘…I was the scientist dog they used for the company but one night I drank what they gave me and turned on them those fools but I was smart enough and I know how to protect myself and always new where the special formula was all I need was they’re pathetic cure for me.’

‘We can help you change back in to what you once were…’ Aryan said looking at Parvus knowing that inside was nothing more then a dog trapped by the evil mind of the Vereor.

‘Why would I ever want to change back to a pathetic weak dog like your self when I’m the most powerful creature in this entire world?’ Parvus laughed sarcastically.

Turning to look at the computer screens behind him Aryan watched as the wolves were running down the hallway away from a pack of Vereor who were chasing them. Looking closely Aryan could see a door to outside in the distance on the screen but composed him self and pretended to look shocked. ‘You’ll never catch them.’ Aryan said shaking his head and stepping back from the screen.

‘We are so fast that it is simply a game of cat and mouse they will gone soon just like you!’ Parvus snarled with his large teeth as he walked closer to Aryan who backed up further away from him.

‘You need me for my blood don’t you?’ Aryan said trying to bide time for the wolves to make it the door without Parvus realizing and calling the Vereor to stop.

‘It’s in me now…’ Parvus suddenly stopped and perked his ears up as the sound of gunshots echoed throughout the entire area causing both of them look at the screens. ‘NO!” Parvus screamed running to the screen where he could see the normal wolves running past the men into the forest unhurt whilst the Vereor who had been tricked in to the sunlight were blinded as they stumbled and were easily killed by the man who seemed to be everywhere. Turning to look back at Aryan he smiled at Parvus who jumped down from the screen and walked over to him. ’How could you trick me we are much stronger and better then you in every single way!’

Feeling himself tense up Aryan smiled as he looked up barring his teeth as he felt himself change, his paws grow larger, his body becoming stronger, his senses becoming stronger but his eyes remained their normal color. ‘We are always smarter then you!’

‘We’ll always be stronger then you!’ Parvus yelled the fur on his back standing on end.

‘Prove it!’ Aryan snarled leaping forward the Vereor blood in him hiding his fear and pushing him forward towards Parvus who remained at his ground accepting the challenge, he also had to bide his time...

Both Vereor wolves fought madly against each other, using their superior senses and strengths but Parvus had the distinct advantage he had been a Vereor for years and new how to fight, how to use his extra power where as Aryan could only use what strength he had since no one had ever shown him how to fight it was up to his Vereor blood to help him now.

Parvus wasn’t even tired when he leapt on a tired Aryan who just managed to throw him off his back as the two looked at each other from only meters apart. ‘I told you nothing can defeat a Vereor we are more powerful then any creature on this world.’

‘You may be stronger but you’ll outwit anything.’ Aryan said chucking to himself as he heard footsteps approaching from the outside hallway. Parvus made a dash as Aryan who quickly side stepped him and began to run towards the door at the end of the room just as another door burst open with huge dogs and humans standing at the door with weapons drawn. Spinning around Parvus latched on Aryan’s leg pulling him back down as Aryan winced painfully.

‘If I’m going I’m not letting the Vereor name live in a half-bred like you!’ He snarled as Aryan looked back at him and it was then that Aryan first noticed that Parvus seemed to have fear in his eyes.

‘It’s not going to.’ Aryan kicked Parvus hard in the face making him let go as Aryan leapt through the door away from the man and dogs.

Once he was through the door he ran down the hallway as he slowly but surely changed back to himself as he came to a stop sitting down on the ground trying to catch his breath as blood ran down the side of his face and on to the ground.

‘Aryan!’ Astra yelled as she ran down the hallway towards Aryan who looked up at her his tail wagging slowly behind his back. As soon as she got to him she nuzzled him and held back the tears. ‘Come on we need to get out of here…’ She said licking the wounds on his face.

‘What happened to the Vereor?’ Aryan said looking at her.

‘Most are defeated but we are rounding up the stranglers with the human dogs whilst the humans and taking them away, they’re all gone.’ She said happily smiling down at him.

‘Not all…’ Aryan said slowly standing up and looking down at Astra who looked confused. ‘I’m the last one and I can’t risk hurting anyone.’ Aryan laughed, ‘I used to be alone in the forest and now I’m alone again I’m the last Vereor…I think I’m meant to be alone.’ Aryan said lowering his head feeling sick as he turned around and started to walk back towards the door.

‘No.’ Astra said running forward in front of him shaking her head. ‘Don’t. Come with us please.’ She begged looking up at him as Aryan looked away from her and kept walking but she didn’t stop and ran in front of him again. ‘I…love you.’ Astra
