Chapter I: Shadow and Snow

The wind blew softly as an animal walked through a frozen forest. A young black wolf sniffed the air carefully for rabbits they were the easiest to catch and don’t put up much of fight. Suddenly his nose twitched and a rabbit ran past him. All right he thought as he inhaled and exhaled. Instantly time slowed down but the rabbit saw this coming and turned to face the attacker. Well this is new he thought. Shadow didn’t have any time to react as the rabbit charged and tackled him sending Shadow flying back "Okay enough of this!" Shadow said. He extended his claws grabbed the tree his was heading toward swung back and struck the rabbit with his paw sending it crashing into the snow. Shadow broke its neck before it could get up again. No fun at all he thought as started to eat the rabbit but he caught someone’s sent near by, actually up in the tree above him. He quietly created small fireballs in his paws and threw them everywhere. He looked closely and white patches of fur fall on a near by branch. "Okay! Okay! Stop!" said a voice. "You must have a good nose to catch my scent so quickly." The voice said as a white female wolf jumped from the tree above and landed to greet him. “Of course!" Shadow said confidently. "I'm Shadow what's your name?" Shadow asked "I'm Snow." "Wait, are you like me?" Snow asked. "What do you mean?" Shadow asked confused. “I mean are you a beowolf like me?” "Yeah but not of the same clan" Shadow answered. "You're from the water clan right?" He said looking at her blue yin yang necklace. “Yeah that’s- ugh!” Snow fell to the ground panting and holding her wounded shoulder. "What’s wrong?" Shadow asked. "You’re stronger than I thought" Snow said looking at her burned shoulder. I’d better help her I already lost one friend I’m not losing another Shadow thought. “Come on you look tired you can ride on my back if you want to.” Shadow said lying down. He’s so caring and I barely know him could he be my... no silly remember what mom said only if the necklace glows oh well, until then better get some rest Snow thought as she climbed on Shadow’s back. "You ready?" Shadow asked. "Always" Snow replied. And with that, Shadow raced off.

Chapter II: New friend, old foes

Snow awoke in a dark cave the last thing she remembered was Shadow taking them to safety. "I'm glad nothing bad happened." She said looking at her healed shoulder. “Well look who's awake” a voice said. Snow turned to see Shadow looking at her. "Well since your up aren’t you hungry." Snow’s stomach growled. "I guess so but where are we going?" Snow asked curiously. "There is a town not far from here, see behind that hill." Shadow and Snow both walked to the top of the hill and looked out at the town. "Well let’s get going" Snow before said and the two raced into the town. "Let’s split up that way we can explore while looking for food also" Shadow said. "Where should we meet up?" Snow asked. "There in that arena" Shadow pointed. Snow sniffed the air trying to catch any scents nearby her nose twitched as she passed by the back door of a restaurant. Perfect she thought. Shadow walked back to the arena smacking his lips as he walked. He saw Snow waiting for him there. “So what did you find?” Shadow asked. “I found two long rings sausage, what about you?” Snow asked. “Rice and some chicken and let’s just says the humans didn't see a thing.” Shadow said as they started walking around a bit. After a while Snow noticed something on Shadow. "Hey Shadow got something on your nose" Snow said. Shadow looked at his nose and saw a pink flower petal. Where did that come from? Shadow thought as he flicked it off. "Enjoying the sights?" A voice said. "Show yourself!" Shadow said. A flurry of petals swirled around them and a pink wolf appeared after the flurry settled. "Who are you?" Snow asked. "The names Rose but don't worry about that to cut to the chase Kadaj, yes Shadow your brother is still alive and he needs your power I’m not telling why but we will get them one way or another so you two are coming with me conscious or not ok." Rose said getting on her hind legs and taking an attack stance. Snow stepped out of the arena to give Shadow some room. "Ok fine!" "Bring it on then!" Shadow said getting on his hind legs. “Here we go!” Rose said and started throwing petals at Shadow and he dogged them and wondered why he was until a petal cut his arm. He looked back after dodging them and she was gone. “What’s wrong too fast for you Shadow?” Rose said as she appeared behind him. "Oh great- " Shadow started to say then Rose flip kicked him into the air. Rose dove up towards him but Shadow blocked her attack and side kicked her hard sending her falling back to the ground. Shadow landed on the ground put his paws together pulled them apart slowly as a fireball appeared in-between them and blasted it straight toward Rose. She wasn't impressed by the blast and easily sent flying with a flick of her paw. It headed toward a building next to them and struck it smoke was everywhere. “That's all?” She asked then the instant the smoke cleared Shadow came out and punched her twice in the face one in the chest grabbed her and finished by driving a fiery paw through her stomach. He did it! Snow thought. Shadow stared at Rose who went limp after the attack. "Wait a sec that was-" Shadow started. " A bit too easy right?" Rose finished. Oh no! I'm wide open! Shadow thought. The clone Shadow drove through turned into petals and the real Rose charged at him punched him twice in the face one in the stomach and ended it with a swift roundhouse kick, which sent him spinning. Shadow hit the ground with a thud and Rose stood over him and picked him up Shadow spit blood out off his mouth and smiled. "Why the heck are you smiling?" "You're about to leave this world." Rose said about to kill him. Shadow looked at her and rubbed some blood off his mouth "Because I get to do this!" The blood in his paw flowed onto his claws and Shadow drove through Rose head. This time Shadow waited and knew she was still around somewhere. He looked around as the Rose clone faded into petals and he saw the real one in a corner worn out. “So... you are... powerful....I....I see what you're Kadaj's brother.” Rose said and clasped groaning in pain. Just then, two wolves appeared out of nowhere. The second brown wolf walked toward Rose put her on his back and both disappeared after that the first black wolf with a scar on his right eye Kadaj walked toward Shadow. “Well hello little bro" Kadaj said. “Shut up Kadaj! Stop calling me bro you've been exiled.” Shadow said. “Now do you think that's polite, I mean what would mom or even dad say if they hear you taking like that huh?” Kadaj replied. Angry Shadow lunged at Kadaj and tried to get his throat but Kadaj punched him back with an electric paw. Shadow lay on the ground in pain of the electric shock going through his body. "Well now, it looks like it’s over at your still as weak as ever loser. Kadaj said and his paws glowed with energy. “Good-bye brother.” Kadaj said raising his paw to finish him off.
