Okay, this is one fiction that im going to finish. Even if i outgrow Balto and stop coming to BS, i'm going to continue to write about wolves. I guess it's because i've been doing it for nearly 2 years now, but it's so much easier for me to write about a wolf than it is for me to write about a human. Anyway, there's some mess up with the first part of TKT in the fan fiction section right now and i'm not sure what to do about it. But this is part of Part two that i wrote after i finished Part one. This is how it will start. I'm only posting a small teaser to draw in some people who might enjoy it and to give those who enjoyed the first part something to read for right now. It's not very long, but at least this shows that i'm not just making empty promises.
The Kalgorn Trilogy
Part: IIBy: balto678
"Mom! Mom! MOM! Where are you!" Kalgorn ran around shouting these same words over and over again. He couldn't be sure if humans understood them or not, maybe they just heard barks and yelps. He tried finding her scent. Lowering his nose to the ground and pointing it to the air, desperatly seeking for the smell he knew would lead him to her. It was no use though, for hours he kept this up. Running frantically around like his life depended upon him finding her. In a way, it did. He had the knowledge and ability to survive on his own in the wild but he didn't have the courage to take on the world just yet. His fear of never finding her drove him on. He had tears in his eyes, his shouts for her had transformed into wails of anguish and dispair. Yet, even as hopeless as this looked, Kalgorn refused to stop. She was out there, somewhere. Somewhere where he just couldn't see her and where she couldn't hear him. He knew for sure that no matter what, if she heard him crying for her they way he was now, she would come to sooth him. She always had.
But why had she not come yet? He was bawling for her, raising his head to point his nose up at the sky and howling for her. How could she not hear him? His heart beat painfully inside his chest, pounding his ribs a thousand times a second, burning. It wasn't just because his frantic running or the fear that she was gone that drove him into this kind of sobfest. It was also because, now that she was gone, all he could think about was those last moments he'd been with her. One second, she was right behind him, doing her best to avoid getting impaled by the sharp sticks being jabbed at them and protecting him from the same fate, and the next she was gone. He'd believed he and her had escaped the humans for one brief moment, then he'd turned around and discovered the terrible truth about what had really happened.
He could only imagine the terror she felt. He'd experianced it too but, as a mother, it had to be twice as bad to watch your son abandon you to save his own hide. That's pretty much how Kalgorn felt right then. Like a coward. Now he was paying the price of what he'd done. He felt so alone, so. . . vulnerable. He doubted he'd be able to defend himself against an attack if he came across the wrong wolf. The only fighting experiance he'd ever gotten was how to wrestle down his prey.
It was starting to get dark and still he hadn't found her. He hadn't even found her scent!
Where was she?
Ok. Hope you enjoy that. It's basically Kalgorn's reaction after he looses his mother at the end of Part one. So, now that that's been announced i've got to get this:
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=6840 and this:
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5638 before i can get to this one though.
