It was terrible!! The clan was destroied. The elders, warriors, hunters, all gone!!

Gwen couldn't help but stare. Duncan. What happened to him and his family? She had to know. "Duncan! I have to find him!"

 But before she could even move Kuro tackled her. "Hold on! After they leave then we look for suvivers." he said to her firmly.

She stuggled but obeyed him.

 "Now! get the stone!! Since the leader left no one can protect it." said Drake. The rouge wolves obeyed him.

"No. I'm sorry Gwen, But I have to get the stone before they do."Kuro said to her.

"Go and get it them. I need to find my brother." she said. "No if they find you-" " They won't Kuro! Trust me. I'll meet you back at you're place. Go and be careful!" she said kissing him as she crawled the other way.

"You too my love. Huh? Ahgg. I'm getting too mushy now." he said going to the hills on the other side.

she went around the wolves as she looked for Duncan. "Duncan!! Oh. I can't yell they'll find me." she said.

Then she felt a ton of weight on her crushing her lungs. "You'll pay for what you did to our clan." a female voiced cried.

"Aurora? Is that you?" said Gwen. The figure froze. "Gwen? It can't be! you're alive!" she said getting off of her.

"what happened when we left?" Gwen asked."It was a surprise attack. They were waiting for you and Kuro but they wiped us out." she said.

"What about Duncan and the pups?" Gwen asked. "I....I...don't know. I was seperated from them. I tried to look but the place is surrounded." she said about to cry.

"Alright don't cry. Kuro is not far when I find at his place him he'll help. Come on." she said. Aurora smiled and followed Gwen. 

Kuro waited untillit was clear. "Huh. I knoew they would look underground to find it ." he said digging next to a small four branched tree. A light blue sphere came to view. Glowing near him.

"Found it! now to meet up with-""Get away from there!!" a voice roared at him. a wolf charged at him full force.

Kuro eaisly moved outof the way of the wolf then swifly landed his paw on the wolf's chest.

"Who are you.....Duncan?!" he looked closer and it was Gwen's brother. "Kuro you're back." he said.

"Good you're alive owww!! " he said as his backlegs were chewed on by the pups. "Grr!! get off of dad!!" said Blade as he and his siser bit Kuro. 

"Its okay pups." said Duncan said. The pups looked up abd let go ad said."Sorry alpha. we didn't know it was you." said Angel.

"Its alright. You guys are pretty brave to fight a full grown wolf." said Kuro. The two blushed. "Where's auntie Gwen?" asked Blade.

Duncan rose quickly after hearing that. "Yeah Kuro. Is she-" "She's fine Duncan. She's looking for you actually. I'm meeting her at my cave." Kuro said.

"I'm glad. We need to move they'll be here soon!" said Duncan.

"Hold on! I need to do something first. It won't take long." he said digging to another tree.

It was a sphere like the stone but dull in the glow. He placed in the tree area from before and covered it. "Is that a...?" Duncan began.

"Yep! Its a fake. The eleders had it made for something like this happend to the clan. Now we can go." he said runing as the others came with him.

Gwen and Aurora made it to the cave. They hoped that it was empty but a few wolves were there looking for the stone.

"Its not here! search somewhere else!" the wolf said. The pack ran out as ordered. "Good! they're gone." said Gwen as they entered the cave.

Aurora didn't hear she was still worrying about her famliy. "Listin worrying is not going to past the time faster. Duncan can protect them. He's a tough wolf. I should know." said Gwen.

Aurora thought to herself and desided Gwen was right. Worrying only makes things worse."You're right." said Aurora.

"Well well, well! I thought you died little Gwen. Well I fix that mistake quickly." said a voice from behind them. 

"Carmen! You have alot off guts to show your face here." said Gwen.

Carmen only laughed as her children came in behind her. "Mabey you're right but the clan is gone so I have nothing to fear." she sid to them.

"You're wrong we even you are still apart of this clan. It still lives on." said Aurora. "I'm no longer a wind clan wolf. Now my children go on and play." she said to the kids.

THe four beside her ran towards the wolves infront of them.

The earth started to shake around them.

"The cave is closing in on us!" said Gwen but before they could run one pup stomped on the ground and the earth grabbed their paws. "Can't move." said Gwen as they both struggled to get out.

"And to make sure you don't leave..." said Carmen. She scratched Aurora on her chest. Then She bit Gwen on her throat. "Goodbye. I won't miss any of you." she said to them. "Come on childeren."

They left as the cave crashed on them.

The others were walking to the cave but they couldn't find it. Then Duncan stopped in his tracks.

"Kuro you said she meet you at you cave right?" he asked him ."Yeah Why?" " Duncan pointed to the rumble of what use to be his cave. "Gwen. Gwen! No!" he said runing to it.

"Kuro so nice to see you/"said a female voice. "Gwen he turned and saw Carmen and grolwed."YOU! I SHOULD KILL YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID TO US!!!" yelled Kuro.

"I wouldn't be worry about me where you so-called-mate is in there with her friend Atora was it?" Carmen said.

Duncan's ears perked up." AURORA?!" he said.

"Yeah her. Well I wouldn't bother to make sure their alive." she said.

"No!"said Duncan. Then Kuro started to glow blue like the stone. His emotions had triggered the power of the stone.

The wind around them started to spin around Kuro.His eyes glowed purple. He roared to the sky in anger.

Drake and his army saw Kuro in the sky." The stone! But that's impossable!" he said.

Kuro waved his paw and The wind cut a rock like a blade of a sword. "You have crushed the wind clan. No more will suffer today. The earth clan will pay for the traitous crime."  The spirit of the stone voice said.

Duncan went to the cave and kept digging for his mate and sister.  

He found them but they were really wouned. "Kuro.." Gwen said. "Duncan. Where're the pups?" asked Aurora groaning. "Rest they're fine." said Duncan. "Mommy."said the pups.

Gwen got up and started to walk to Kuro. "Gwen don't move!! You're still hurt." said Duncan.

She didn't care about her injuries. "Kuro? That's him in the sky?No. Can't be. His eyes are..." she thought as she walked to him. 

"I lost almost everyone!! I have nothing left here! THEY'LL PAY FOR THIS!! I'LL MAKE SURE OF THAT!!!!" Kuro's mind was clouded and chaotic!! The stone was going out of control with his rage.

A tornado came to view. The sky was getting darker. Wolves ran for their lives before they were swept away. Tree and rocks flew everywhere. Dust started to kick up.

"Kuro!! KURO CAN YOU HEAR ME?! YOU HAVE TO STOP!!" Gwen shouted. "I KNOW YOU'RE ANGERY BUT YOU HAVE TO CONTROL IT PLEASE!!!"

"Gwen?" he said as looked at her. "You're alive!!" he said as his eyes started to become normal again.

"This is my chance." thought Drake as he ran up and tackled Gwen. "Kuro give me the stone or your mate won't live very long" he said.

Duncan ran to help but the wind was still too strong. "Duncan you can't even see in front of you." said Aurora huddling the pups.

Kuro got angery all over again as he saw him over her. "GET OFF OF HER NOW!!" The voice took over agian. 

"Just give me the stone and I will." said Drake. "You know I just love the firey type of wolf don't you son?" he said lowing his sef he kissed her on the cheek. She bit his paw. He put his paw and forced it on her wounded throut.

"I SAID GET OFF!!!" The voice got angryier than before. Kuro lowered from the sky and waked to him.

"Have we got a deal pup?"  said Drake. He pushed harderon Gwen. She screamed.

"ARGGGHH!!" the voice said as he swooped Drake up into the sky. "HHHEY PUT ME DOWN HELP!!!"

"THIS IS THE END FOR YOU!!" said the voice of the Stone. Gwen got up and tried to talk to him. 

"KURO DON'T!! IF YOU DO YOU'RE NO BETTER THAN HIM!!! DON'T KILL HIM.... please....don't.....kill....him......" Gwen fainted to the ground.

"Gwen? But....Why does she want that? After what he did to her. He deserves it." Kuro argued in his thoughts.

"She's right Kuro." It was the Stone. It came to the form of a wolf. "His crime won't be that different if you kill him. Let the others deal with him. You need to see to your mate."

"But the clan....!" said Kuro.

 "Yea. I know kid. But look around for others. Not all were gone. And you can make a new and better clan than before. Make it better for your pups and other for them. The future is full of possiblities. You have a good heart and mind Kuro. Use it. I'll be here if you need help always." The voice said as he put Kuro down.

 It healed most of the wounded wolves which wasn't much."Take care!" It said as the stone came back to the sphere form. 

"Huh? Gwen? Gwen!" he said runing to her. "Are you alright?" he asked. "Please be alright!! I'll never for give myself if you aren't!!" he thought.  

 Her eyes slowly opened and looked into his. "Kuro. I can see your eyes you're back." she moaned.

"Don't move." he said.

Kuro lied by her as Duncan and his famliy came to them. "We'll look for others." said Aurora. "Yea! Let's go!" said Blade. "No!you two stay here." They both groaned. 

They found other but the numbers were still small.

Kuro told everyone to meet at loners rock. Gwen was beside him as he spoke to them. "All survivers hear me! I know not much are left but we can rebuld this clan if we try. WE are Still here and STRONG!!" all the wolves howled.

It took a few months but the clan was balanced once agian. It was better than it was before. Duncan was the secondin command. The families were getting bigger for everyone and they were all looked after.

Kuro was patroling the clan one day. He couldn't be any prouder of his clan.

"It's better than it was isn't it." a voiced came from behind. "Oh Hi Gwen! Feeling better?" Kuro asked as he nuzzled her. "Ouch!" he backed away. "Sorry" he said. "HeHe! Kidding! I'm fine. " she said kissing him.

 "Very funny!" he said annoyed. "Oh come on Kuro! Its a joke have you heard of them?" she said walking with him. 

"You never change will ya? Can I ask you something?" he asked. "Hm? What is it?" Gwen said.

"I have to leave the clan again. Its an important meeting to disscus our progress. Wanna come?"he asked.

"Well of course I'm coming!! I'm your mate!! The only time you should ask anything is when I don't want to go got it?" she said.

He smiled and said "Yes miam." he said.

THe next day Duncan took over untill they got back.

It took a week to get there but they made it.

The meeting was like all of them. Dry and Boring.

They all slept in different caves since that was the area they always met for emergencies and stuff.

"Kuro?" "Hm?" Let's go for a walk!" she said."What? Why? Its in the middle of the night. "Yeah! We'll have the lake all to ourselves to swim in come on!" she said runing."Gwen Wait!" he said runing after her.

She jumped in the lake. It was perfect. The water was warm since it was still summer. The moon was full and the sky was purple and blue with spakling stars.

"So beutiful. It feels like I can reach out and touch the stars myself." she sighed.

Kuro was out of breath. "Finally you're here you little turtle." she said.

  "Hmph. Enjoying yourself?" he said annoyed."Come on in the water's great." she said. "I'll take your word for it." he said.

"I always thought you were too scared to do it." she said. He came closer. "Who's scared?!" he said. He fell for the bait." She swam up to him and pulled him in.

"GWEN!!" he shouted to her. She laughed. "That's better. Now let's have some fun." she said splashing him all over. "Grrr!!" he said trying to catch her.

Minates felt like hours as they played in the lake. In truth he was having more fun than Gwen.

They finally came out of the lake tired and still laughing. "That was so much fun!" she said. "Yea!! Thanks Gwen! I really needed that!" he said. 

She tackled him and said "You need this too." She kissed him. "Huh. I needed that too." he said kissing her again.

"Hehe! your soaked."he said laughing. "Sounds good when you laugh." she said. "Not as good as you .Aggh. You made me go soft now." he said looking in to her eyes.

"Good!"She kisses him again. "I like it when you're sensitive." Gwen said.

"Thank you." he said to her."For the swim?" she asked."No for bringing me back from the stone. I would have done horrible things if you didn't help. I'm lucky to you as a mate. I love you." he said.

She got off of him."Now why are you being so charming ?" she said batting her eyes.

"Hmm. Mabey beause you look cute when you're wet." It wasn't just that. Her eyes glowed again like before which made him melt to look at. The water soaked her but her curves were still perfect to his eye. Her kisses always made him dazed. 

He came closer to give her a deep long kiss.

Her heart ponded as his tailed covered her thigh. He stopped. "You're blushing Gwen." he said. "I am? Sorry. It might be be cause I'm cold." she said lost in his eyes.

  "Its summer time." he said coming closer to her."Oh! Right, summer." she closed her eyes as he kissed her. He slowly went to her neck moaning. He hugged her. She kissed him back then again they fell asleep with love in their hearts."I love you" "Love you too." They finally said.

The clan is rebuild and a new chapter begins for the two lovers.
