hitze at full speed. Planning to sink his teeth into the first part of the wolf's body he came into contact with. But then flames erupted around the wolf. Confused the wolf tried to stop. How does a stone catch fire? he thought confused. This however was his final question and thought. He tried to stop but wasn't able to stop quick enough. He fell into the flames and burned alive. Hitze never enjoyed the howls of agony that followed such a death, but it was only necessary that this be done. It was self-defense. He only put the flames out when the howls ceased. He turned his eyes away from the grotesque body of the wolf. Had he not had a strong stomach, he would have thrown up right there.
Walking from the cave he looked for anilda. He spotted her quickly. She was running. He then called out to her, howling.

Anilda stopped quickly at the sound of a howl. She could see Hitze's body standing at the up the mountain. She grinned. She felt ashamed at herself for even begining to think hitze wouldn't make it threw. He could set wolves on fire for cryin out loud!.
"Hitze" She smiled.

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR

The sad pup, angle, sat in the snow. His rear was getting cold but there was nowhere to sit that wasn't covered in snow. Literally, he felt like he was freezing his butt off.
Someone approached him. He opened his eyes and looked up. It was another pup. A tan pup. Erudin.
"Angle?" the small pup asked
"Erudin, im-im sorry about earlier" Angle whimpered. His new friend looked like he'd been crying for sometime.
"What was wrong?" Erudin asked sitting down opposite angle. His eyebrow raised.
"well they told me i was possesed my something called a 'Nous-Controller'" Angle started
Erudin watched his new friend. "That wolf that ran over us. . he was a nose-controlher?" he asked having trouble getting his tounge around the new word.
Angle laughed at the way erudin said this. "yea he was a nose control her"
Erudin laughed along with angle. Angle stopped after a moment then repeated his apology. "Im sorry about earlier erudin"
Erudin nodded " Its ok. You weren't yourself. Im glad we're still friends"
"Same here" Angle grinned.

Zack, with Aleu on his back, ran on. On as his legs pushed the two wolves closer and closer to safety. Squinting his eyes against the wind, keeping them open. Searching for any sign of an ambush. Afterall, he had Aleu, the Red Rock packs top priority to kill, on his back. In her most vulnerable state.
Slowing to a stop, Zack caught his breath and looked back. All there was behind him was snow. Falling from the sky, resting on the ground, or in the trees. Squinting he could make out the dark shape of two wolves. Looking closer her recognized one wolf. It was Hitze.
Putting this together, Zack figured out who the other wolf must be. That must be Anilda. Hitze said he was going to go see if she was okay.
Glancing to each side of him, he checked for ambushes. He didn't see anyone. Apart from the two figures approaching him.
His ear flicked up. He heard a sound behind him. Looking back he saw aleu's eyes open. She made a strang high pitched whimper. "Z-zack?" She studdered
"Aleu, you're awake. You okay?" He asked. She had a large bruise that stood out on her shoulder.
"where. . are we?" She asked confused. Her vision blurry. Everything was a white, gray and black haze.
"Safe. For right now. We're on our way to the safe haven"
Aleu blinked and her vision came back into focus. Putting a paw on her head, memories of the last few days came back to her. "What about the rest of the pack?"
"Safe. This is basically a rescue mission right now"
She then became aware that they weren't moving at all. "What are you waiting for?"
"I can see Anilda and a friend of her's Hitze back there. Im waiting for them to catch up" he explained.
Aleu was still a little confused. "Hitze?" Memories of the scary tale told to pups to make them behave. "Hitze? Isn't he that wolf in the story. He eats pups who misbehave?"
"Apparently that's just a tale. But yea, Hes the one"
Aleu rested her head against the arch of Zack's neck and back. Her head pounding painfully.
Looking ahead, Zack saw that the two wolves running toward them wasn't at all who he had thought them to be. He could see more wolves behind these two. He then knew instently what was happening.
He'd fallen into an ambush. "Here we go Aleu" Zack warned. Pushing off Zack ran from the oncoming wolves.
As fast as Zack normally was, the weight of Aleu on his back and with how tired his legs were, he was slower than usual. While his pursuers closed in on him, two white wolves stood overhead on the side of a mountain.
A gray pup on the back of one. The two wolves looked at each other then one ran down the mountain toward Zack. As he reached the bottom of the mountain he turned to flames.

"Hitze!" Zack gasped, the sudden eruption of flames to his right got his attention immediatly.
"Zack keep running, ill stop these wolves!" Hitze shouted. Changing directions, he ran toward the wolves chasing Zack.
Skidding to a sudden stop, Zack looked back at Hitze. Then he saw another wolf running at him. Instinct told him to attack.
Tackling the wolf to the ground a putting a paw to its throat. Then he realized who the wolf was. "Anilda! Sorry, i thought you were someone else" He applogized, letting her back up.
Anilda caughed some then shook her head. "don't worry about it, just run!" She said heading off in Zacks original direction of travel.
He didn't have time to think or argue, so he followed after Anilda.

Hitze extinguished his flames. He always enjoyed the look of surprise and terror on his foe's face when they saw the flaming power he held. Stopping abruptly he watched the wolves close in on him. He grinned. Even better.
Just as they were about to overtake him, he willed a wall of fire to erupt between him and the large group ahead of him. As a result for the wolves on the opposite side of the wall, those at the front which included some of the most powerful members of the Red Rock pack, were unable to stop in time. Though they tried, it was useless. The wolves flew threw the flames and caught fire. This was the worst part of it for Hitze. The screams of agony as they burned alive. Wincing he put his paws over his ears.
When the bodies stopped moving, which didn't take long, Hitze removed his paws from his ears and stepped toward the flames.
His favirote part had come. Stepping threw the flames he set his body aflame. The look of terror on the faces of the wolves was priceless to Hitze.
"you're down by 13 now" He smirked.
"Who are you?" A bold, wolf in front of Hitze asked.
"You need not know. Seeing as how you won't live long enough to need it" Hitze said. Lifting up a paw he concentrated the flames to the one specific area.
All the flames on his body moved to his paw. Gathering to make an enormous inferno. The Red Rock pack wolves backed away slightly.
"I don't care if you have that ability freak. We'll still kill you if you don't move out of our way" The same wolf growled. He was obviously trying to put on a brave face. But was failing miserabally.
"Im just one wolf. You're what? 10? Surely even with this power you could take me down easily. Why do you hesitate to simply kill me and continue on you're chase for my friends" Hitze asked. He was loving this.
The wolves seemed annoyed by this. Enraged one wolf ran at hitze. Fangs bared.
Hitze simply held out his paw which held the inferno. the wolf flew threw it. The heat of the flames was too hot to be felt immediatly. The wolf only experienced cold. But he didn't live long enough to feel any thing else. Collapsing to the ground, he died.
"Let me even up the odds here. Lets see you're 9 now. So i need 8 more" Hitze chuckled.
"What are you talking about?"
The inferno split into 8 shapes. Flying out of Hitze paws they formed the shape of wolves. Exact replicas of Hitze.
Hitze not being flamed he laughed. Then completing his trick, set himself aflame as well.
"Find me if you can" Hitze said. The jaws of all 9 Hitze's said this.
The nine Red Rock pack wolves stood frozen to the spot. "You can't fool us with these lame tricks" one started but Hitze killed him before he could say anything else. "Lets keep this fair shall we" He said and one of his replica's faded away.
One wolf apparently couldn't take it anymore and tried to run. He met the same ending as the last wolf. Another replica of Hitze fadded.
"How are we supposed to defeat you? Any contact with you will kill us" A terrified wolf cowered.
"True, though what does that tell you?" Hitze asked. The true Hitze approached the wolf. Leaning his head closer to the wolf's. He began shuddering and stepped back from hitze. Hitze controlled on of the replicas to stand behind the cowered.
Unknowingly the wolf backed away from Hitze. Then he felt a searing heat behind him. Looking behind him he saw Hitze behind him. Looking back ahead toward the real Hitze.
Hitze Lifted a paw and moved it closer to the wolf. The wolf cowered back. His fate already known to him. Hitze finally felt like the wolf had been frightened enough and decided to make it quick. Instead of burning him, he closed his jaws around the wolf's neck. Killing him instently. The Hitze behind the wolf vanished.
"6 left. Come on, you can figure it out" Hitze barked. The six remaining wolves had grouped together. Obviously they were trying to form a plan to escape.
Hitze laughed and formed a circle around them. The six Hitse's surrounded them. Preventing any way of escape.
The Hitze's closed in on the remaining red rock pack wolves. Though the wolves seemed to have reached a conclusion. All six of them looked up at the sky and howled. Hitze took advantage of their exposed necks and bit down on them. All six Hitze's killed one each.
The howls stopped abruptly and the five extra flaming Hitze's vanished. The real Hitze remained. He sat and waited for the back-up they had called for. Their howls had been a call for help. One he'd heard too often. . . .Too often from those he had cared for.
Everytime, it
