Why Me?

The Meeting

Those Emerald Green eyes expand and narrow upon realization. They sign "Kai", I grin and give them a wink. They shake their head and lower the gun, walking toward me I get a glimpse of the necklace I gave to a 6 year old 4 years ago. Needless to say the shy, silent scared little girl, now looks like she might kill you given any reason. She looks at the wolves ,nods and they accept her, she comes running up to me a knocks us out of the bushes I was hiding in and the wolves follow sensing the excitement.

"Don't even think about it." I point at them and they tuck their ears and sit, but I see Sasha and her Mate Thor are high alert always and haven't come out of the bushes but I see their heads ducked under the bushes their yellow eyes peeking out from the roots. Kisa, gets up and tugs me up with her. I nod to the bushes, they stay and I continue on with the other 4: Lee, Lia, Chuck and Snow. Kisa walks me to the group, they instantly stop and look scared, I'm not sure if it's me, Kisa or the Full grown 4ft wolves. Kisa points to her necklace then points at me. I still see she refuses to talk, out of fear though I'm not sure. They introduce themselves as Keith, Lock, and Beth with each of them having what I'm gonna call a battle buddie: Lisa, Linus, and Kenzie. One in charge of grabbing the other in charge of guarding. Smart but not effective without trust and they all look like they'll bolt if they get attacked. No training I see, well at least in team work.  Once introductions are out of the way, I hear growling and turn. Well I'll be dammed I was for sure the dog died, the old bastard. I shook my head and snapped then whistled, all 6 wolves circled the old K-9 and backed up sitting in a curve behind him. I bend at the knees, "Good boy." I say as I spread out my arms Butch sprints up to me and put his head in the crick of my throat so his muzzle is between my breasts. I shake my head and scrub him behind the ears. I get up to my full height. The group piles into the vans and jeeps, Kisa waving for me to join. I shake my head signing that I'll walk with the pack.

We all arrive relatively around the same time. I notice the clouds and motion for the dogs to stand guard.

"You need to pick up the pace, a storm is coming and it's going to hit hard. The dogs will guard start grabbing shit and hustle." I yell and grab four boxes by myself of canned goods, and start unloading it into the hatch they've been filling, the time it takes them to pass 4 boxes down the line I've loaded double that in potatoes and canned good boxes. I hear a howl and a growl, signaling danger. I whistle as everyone loads up into the plat form, it's a scream of geeks. I curse and motion for the dogs to load up on the plat form. " Get on that plat form, NOW!" I yell Lia and Chuck taking the back corners, Lee and Snow taking the front corners Butch in the middle, Central command, he'll be making the calls until I make it down there. Sasha and Thor stay by me crotched and ready to attack. Everyone rushes onto the plat form. I hit, the red button, "Butch has command of the dogs, don't grab them and you'll be fine. I'm going hunting!" I yell the last bit over my shoulder charging into the scream, Sasha and Thor keeping the button open for escape, that's when the storm comes. How fitting.
