Chapter III: Reapers and Separation

“No!!” Snow shouted and shot an ice blast at Kadaj but he dodged it. “Don’t you touch him!” Snow shouted as she got in between Shadow and Kadaj. "Aww how sweet looks like you get to join him too." Kadaj said and put his paw right in front of her. Both Shadow and Snow froze. "You can thank him for this Shadow." Kadaj said Then a bright light came around Snow and Shadow. Shadow looked up and saw all this light looked at Snow and passed out as the light engulfed them both. Shadow awoke in a cave similar to the first one he and Snow were in but it wasn’t. Great now where am I? Ugh he had to teach Kadaj that warping technique. Snow, oh no where is she? I hope she’s all right where ever she is. Shadow thought as he got up and walked out of the cave. Snow moaned as she came to her senses. What happened? Where am I? Snow thought “Shadow! Shadow where are you?” Snow called. “Please be all right.” Snow whispered as she walked. Shadow felt pain as he walked his wounds had not healed since his fight with Rose. They must have been deeper that I thought better head back, rest, and let these wounds heal at little. Shadow thought. Huh? He had caught someone’s scent but only for a second. "Oh well" he said as he walked back to the cave. Snow walked on and found a cave to rest in. “I better get some rest no telling what could happen.” Snow said as she looked up at the sun. “Hope you’re all right Shadow.” she said as laid down in the back of the cave closed her eyes and fell asleep. Shadow awoke to a strange noise outside the cave and went to check it out. He looked out and saw a strange silver creature that had sword like blades for hands and a hood for a face. So that's a reaper. He thought. “It doesn’t look so tough.” Shadow said. He charged claws out at the reaper and tried slashing at it but it dogged all of his attacks with ease and countered him sending it's blade toward Shadow but he avoided it in time. Okay maybe it's a little tough. Shadow thought. He ran toward it pretending to attack pulsed behind it put both his paws toward the reaper “Take this!” Shadow shouted and flames engulfed the reaper it shrieked and obliterated into a silvery-white mist. Shadow saw another figure pulsed and tacked it to the ground it put a fight and struggled a lot it was only until they both had their claws at each others neck did who they where fighting with. "Snow?" Shadow said in disbelief. Shadow? Snow said looking into his eyes. They both just realized how close their faces were to each other they blushed and he got off her. “So what were those things anyway?” She asked. “Those are reapers biological creatures created by humans to drain beo energy from wolves like us.” “What do humans want with our powers? I have no clue about that.” “Well what now? Snow asked concerned. “I don’t know but I now what we can do for now.” “What?” She asked. “Get you cleaned up you must have run into four reapers to look like that.” he said looking at her bloody white coat. “Oh fine!” Snow giggled.

Night came as Snow entered a lake. “I never thought the water could feel so good.” Snow said as she washed the blood off her white coat. It’s a good thing Shadow found this lake. Snow thought. She did ask Shadow if he wanted to join her but he went cave hunting after he showed her the lake. After washing all the blood off she got out of the pool and stretched. “Well if you’re sleepy I found a cave while hunting already warmed up for you, it’s over there past that tree.” Shadow said pointing toward the tree. They both laid down deep in the warmth of the cave. Snow tried to sleep but she couldn’t she had to ask him. “Shadow, hey still awake?” She asked. “Hmm?” Shadow mumbled. “Um...do you like me?” She asked. "Of course." He replied. "No I mean more than a friend." She said. Shadow turned over and looked deep into Snow’s brown eyes. “I’m not sure I’m ready to get a mate yet and also our necklaces have to glow remember but to answer your question, yes I do like you.” He nuzzled her lovingly as Snow snuggled next to Shadow. Unknown to both of them while they slept their necklaces glowed. The next morning Snow awoke from noises outside the cave she looked at Shadow who seemed tense. “What’s wrong?” She asked. “Shh!” “Go back to the other opening.” Shadow whispered. “Reapers again?” She asked. No just humans, looks like they found us. Shadow said. “How?” Snow asked. “I’m guessing that the first I destroyed was a scout to find us.” Shadow answered. “Now go hurry!” Snow rushed to the other side of the cave entrance Shadow followed behind her. As Snow got out, she jumped to the nearest tree to see everything. Shadow got out the last thing he heard before the dart hit was Snow call out his name. However, it was too late the dart hit him he pulled it out but what ever was in it was making his body go num. Just then, human soldiers appeared and surrounded him. "Snow get out here!" Shadow shouted. "But-" She started not wanting to leave him. "Just go!" Shadow shouted. With that Snow fled leaving Shadow behind. "Resistance is futile.” A soldier said. "Just come along quietly young wolf." Another said. “As if!” Shadow said charging at the agent. The agent dogged his attack and shot him in the side Shadow cried out in pain. Snow was running as fast as she could she heard a gunshot and Shadow cries out and regretted leaving his side. "Shadow I’m sorry, I’m so sorry." She said crying. Shadow saw only saw bits and pieces of things but he knew he was in some tall building and he heard the humans say they were going to do some experiments. "So this is how it ends huh?" Shadow said before passing out. (Note- Pulse: a movement technique that allows beowolves to move faster that the eye can see.) 

Chapter IV: Reunion and Escape

Snow raced toward Shadow’s scent trying not to lose it. She slid to a stop at the edge of a cliff, and looked out at the city Shadow hold on I’m coming Snow thought. She jumped down the cliff and entered the city. While in the city she was very curious about this tall building she saw. He has to be in there, I can feel it. Snow thought. There were guards but she took them out quickly so she got inside. It was some kind research lab on the inside with long hallways. As she turned one hallway, she saw Nomak standing beside a door at the end of the hall. "Oh... it's you." Snow said annoyed. “Names Nomak so wanna play?" Nomak asked. "Um... no!" Snow said. "Sorry but if you want to see your friend again you’re going to have to go through me, so let’s play." Snow sighed getting on her hind legs and taking an attack stance. "This should be fun." Nomak said doing the same. Snow charged and punched at him but he blocked it with his arm. "Nice speed." Nomak said. Snow faked a punch to the face and hit him in the chest and then face, stomach, chest and went faster and faster ending it a roundhouse kick causing Nomak to slide a little. "You little punk!" Nomak growled and countered her assault by punching her with and earth covered paw sending her flying backward but she flipped out and landed on the ground. "Impressive" Snow said. "Just bring it!" Nomak said. Snow' s eyes turned a light blue and she ran at Nomak jumped and did a sliding kick but he jumped over her and landed only to have Snow pulse beside him to elbow and send him crashing through a nearby window. Snow jumped in after him knowing he wasn’t dead. She saw the blood from his impact and noticed some pieces of glass were missing. "Where are you?" Snow asked. Time slowed down as she dodged the shards of glass. Snow saw Nomak charge and punch at her but she dodged and countered it with her own ice punch he blocked it. Nomak then slammed a earth paw on her arm causing it to go numb and kicked her aside sending her to a wall. He charged at her but she faked him out and drove her claws deep in him freezing half of his back. "Ahh! Let go of me!" Nomak shouted. "Ok see ya!" Snow said letting go and kicking him toward a window. "Not bad." Nomak smirked as he covered himself in earth and fell out the window. Snow saw him just disappear into thin air. Darn he got away. She thought as she walked to the door Nomak was guarding and went inside. “Shadow!” Snow shouted. Uhh...Snow? Shadow said weakly. He was being drained of his blood through four tubes in his arms and legs. "Hang on!" She said cutting the tubes with her claws. Shadow fell but Snow caught him. "You okay?" Snow asked. “Blood.” Shadow said weakly. Here, take some of mine. Snow said putting his head near her neck. You sure? Shadow asked not wanting to hurt her. "Of course, I trust you Shadow." She said smiling. Without that trust her blood would kill me from the inside out. Shadow thought before he bit into her. Snow moaned softly as Shadow feed on her blood. "Um, guys you might want to hurry up!" A voice said. Shadow stopped feeding on Snow's blood turned and saw a brown and silver wolf. "Who are you? Snow asked. "I'm Silver um Shadow are you done feeding?" "If so than let's get out of here." Silver said. Shadow looked at Snow "Hey you ok?" "Hope I didn't take too much blood from you." Shadow said. "Its okay I'm fine." Snow said. The place was on full alert guards were everywhere in the halls. "Okay I see a door at the end of the  hall." Silver said. "All right let's use that then." Shadow said. Each of the fights with the guards didn't last more than 1 minute. Shadow looked at the other two halls when he finished and saw blood everywhere in Snow's hall and watched as two guards got up shaking, terrified at how one wolf took down ten guards with ease. One guard pulled out a small knife. “Darn wolf, take this!" He said as he lunged to stab at her but Snow caught his arm with her paw and twisted it in a counterclockwise direction breaking it. The guard screamed in pain but Snow put him out of his misery by slashing across his chest.  Shadow looked away in terror.
