4 On a Journey

Note from Authur,

This takes place right after Annabell was taken by Dimitri!

Story,

     Arro a golden wolf with markings as if someone had drawn random line's all over half of his face and many more strange markings,walked through the forest hunting.He sniffed the air,he didn't get a scent of  rabbit or deer,but of a wolfdog.He looked around him.One thng caught his eye.A snow white figure moving in the shadows of the trees.Then it disapeared.His head jerked around as he tried to find the figure.Then he was on the ground.The wolfdog had tackled him to the ground.

"Who are you?And what are you doing near our territory?"The wolfdog demanded.

"I'm Arrow of the Spirit Creek pack."Arro said.Then he kicked him off with his hind legs,he was suprisingly light.

Tyke easily stood up after he kicked him.

"The name's Tyke of well I'm not in a pack I live with my family.Well half of it anyway."Tyke said,mumbling the end.

"Half of it?What is that supposed to mean?"Arro asked.

"As in my father died and my sister disapeared.I was searching for her when I found you."He said saddly.

"oh.I'm sorry about that."Arro said."Most of my pack don't really trust me or like me."Arro said.

"Sorry about that.And why don't they trust you?"Tyke asked.

"Well just look at my markings and for some reason strange thing happen when I'm around."Arro said.

"Yeah I can see why they wouldn't trust you.But,I think your a pretty cool guy."Tyke said.

"Well thanks.Your all right too.You want to come back to my place.I can introduce you to the few friends I have."Arro said.

"Okay let me just run home and tell my mom where I'm going.I'll be back in a minute okay?"Tyke said and turned around and ran the other way.He came back within five minutes.

"You ready?"Arro asked.

"Yeah,"Tyke said.

"Okay let's go!"Arro said and trotted in the direction of Spirit Creek pack's territory.They arrived then a pack member walked up.

"Well,well,well look who it is.Oh and you brought a friend!"The pack member,Yousarrian said."And he's a wolfdog.You know the pack leader doesn't allow wolfdogs.But,even if he was allowed he would be better than you."Yousarrian said,with an evil smile on his face.Then he howled and his friends joined him.Making stupid jokes and making fun of them.

"See what I mean?They hate me here."Arro said to Tyke under his breath.

"yeah I see that now.But,I can make them stop bugging you.Watch this."Tyke said with an evil grin to match theirs.

He walked over to the bullies and turned to face Arro.Tyke winked at Arro,making sure that the other bullies didn't see him.

"Looks like your fiend joined us."Yousarrian said still smirking.

Arro just stood there with a smirk on his face,he didn't know what Tyke was going to do but he knew it would take care of the bullies.

"Go on bots,I'll take care of him,"Tyke said.

"I don't think I will."Yousarrian said looking at Tyke with suspision.

     Then Tyke made some fur fall into his face and started growling.He started glaring at Yousarrian evily.He slowly started walking towards Yousarrian and snapping at his paws.Yousarian pretended not to be scared but you could tell by looking in his eyes that he was.Tyke then looked more scary as he bared his teeth and growled louder.He kept snapping at their paws.Arro swore he saw some red in Tyke's eyes.then the bullies ran off yelping as they did.

Tyke wet back to normal and laughed at them as the ran.

"Woah!How'd you learn to do that!"Arro said.

Tyke shrugged as he shook the fur from his eyes and said,"I don't know.Ijust learned it after my sister disapeared a few days ago,it was fun using it on my brother."

"that's cool!You've got to teach me sometime!"Arro said.

"I don't know if i can,but I can try sometime."Tyke said.

"Hey Arro!"A golden-brown wolf said as she walked up to Tyke and Arro.

"Hey Anna,Tyke meet Anna.Anna meet Tyke."Arro said.

"Hello,Tyke!Wait,your a wolfdog.You've got to get him out of here!You're already in enough trouble!The pack leader is looking for you!He will be able to smell his scent!get him out of our territory!"Anna said in a hushed tone.

"Sorry man,you got to go.Apparently I'm in trouble."Arro said.

"Okay,nice meeting you!Anna,Arro,"Tyke said,nodding to each of them when he said their names.Then he darted into the forest.

"We need to cover up his scent before the pack leader finds you!"Anna said,already at work.She was pawing the places where she could smell him and covering it up with her scent.

Arro started to join her.He pawed the ground and ran around leaving his and Anna's scent everywhere.You could just faintly smell Tyke's scent.Then he saw the muscular,deep chestnut colored leader,Kenny,walk up.He sniffed the air suspiciously.

"I can smell it.Is it true that you had a wolfdog in our territory?Is it true that the half breed tried to attack some pack members?"Kenny demanded.Anna disapeared into the shadows with a confused expression.

"Y-yes.Yes I did."Arro said.

"Come with me."Kenny said,as he turned around and led him to the middle of the territory,where most of the pack members were.He made his way through the croud until he got to the center.He stepped up on a boulder that was there.Arro stood in front of the rock.He looked up at his leader.He looked much more demanding and tough up there.

     I looked around,looking for my only friends,Anna and Gloria.He spotted them standing side by side in the front.They looked scared as if they knew what was going to happen.I looked away as I looked back up at Kenny.

"Arro,is it true that you brought a wolfdog into our territory?Is it true that it had tried to attack some of the pack members?Is it true that you had tried to cover the wofdog's scent after it left?"The leader demanded again,trying to make sure everyone heard the truth.

"Yes."I said flatly.

"Okay.You see my dear pack members that we have a criminal in our presence!We do not tolerate crimanals in our pack.Now,I'm letting the pack decide what we shall do.Either he stays in the pack with guards following him at all times,or he can be banished from our land forever.What shall you choose?"Kenny sai,ashe stared down ar Arro with his brown eyes.

The pack started yelling their anwers.Most of them were voting for him to leave.Except for his two best friends and his parents.He sighed and look down at his paws.A tear rolled down his cheek.

"Okay,okay!Settle down my dear pack!The decision has been made!He shall be banished!"Kenny announced.

"No!"Someone yelled through the silence.Arro turned his head to see that it had been Anna.

"Anna don't!"Arro said.

"Oh,so someone is objecting!Step forward."Kenny said as Anna proudly walked out of the crowd and sat down next to Arro.Then her sister,Gloria followed.

I just sighed,"You guys shouldn't do this.This is my punnishment not yours."

"It's okay,we want to come with you,wherever you go,"Anna said with a small smile.

"Yeah!"Gloria added,speaking for the first time.

"I don't want you to do this!"Arro said before he realized that they were the only one's speaking.He looked up to see that Kenny was glaring at us.Then there was a shreik in the crowd.

Arro turned around to see that Tyke was coming through the crowd.He walked over and sat next to Arro.

"What are you doing!Are you nuts?"Arro said.

"No.Just witnessing this so I can come with you."Tyke said.

"The wolfdog!You are all banished!The wolfdog must leave immiediately or he shall face the concequences!"Kenny said as he jumped down from the boulder and stood over Tyke.

Tyke turned around and left the territory,without a word.

"That was incredibly brave,"Kenny said as Tyke left.He shrugged then went back to the subject.

"You have 24 hours to leave the Spirit Creek territory,understood?"Kenny said.

"Yes sir."They said in unison.
