Somewhere in the wolves woods, there was the Village of The Red Wolves, and inside the heart of the village, BloodWolf was making a plan.
"What is our next move, BloodWolf?" DeadEye asked her.
"She has not told me yet, DeadEye," BloodWolf told him.
"Why should we trust her? You're this village's leader," Dusk asked.
"She promised us power, Dusk," BloodWolf started, "She'll keep her word."
"What if she doesn't," DeadEye asked, "What if she locks us up?"
"You dare doubt my judgment?" BloodWolf asked.
"No, I would never."
"Then stop questioning me, and get back to your post general!" BloodWolf yelled.
DeadEye and Dusk went outside.
"Wait, Brother," Dusk said.
"Yes, Dusk?" DeadEye asked.
"BloodWolf has gone mad with this idea of power."
"I know, but we have to stay. She's giving us a home, we'll never be accepted back in The Lost-"
"Andrew, I can't keep living like this."
"This is the only way for us to survive, Dusk."
"What did it cost? We joined this pack to be free, not barbaric. We lost so much to join this pack, our friends, the Lost Wolves. We left our own mother," Stephanie started to cry, "who wanted the best for us, who raised us all by herself in the Village of The Lost Wolves since dad died. Tell me, what have we gained?"
Andrew looked down in mourning, unable to answer.
"Why are you asking me this," Andrew asked.
"Have you ever wanted to just leave this place?"
"What are you talking about, Stephanie?"
Stephanie took a deep breath.
"I and a handful of the pack are leaving, tonight, The Red Wolves, The Wolves Woods, all of it."
"But, Dusk-"
"Dusk is dead."
"Fine then, Stephanie. She's going to figure it out."
"It's a risk I'm willing to take."
"You'll have a target on your back."
"Anything to get out of here."
They went back to their hut and packed Stephanie's travel bag. Andrew insisted that he should stay. Stephanie went to the village gate. Andrew looked out the window and saw her join up with a group that had about ten people in it. Stephanie turned around and looked into Andrew's eyes. Andrew nodded, and Stephanie left.
The next morning, BloodWolf called Andrew and Stephanie to a meeting, but only Andrew showed up.
"Where is Dusk?"
"I don't know."
The messenger ran into the room.
"BloodWolf!"
"What?"
"Someone saw Dusk leaving the village with a small handful of the pack!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"DeadEye, Messenger, please leave me."
DeadEye and the messenger left BloodWolf's hut. From outside, they heard BloodWolf yell. She was so loud that the entire village could hear her.
"I WANT HER HEAD ON MY WALL! I WANT HER DEAD!"
When Andrew heard this, he was deeply saddened, he knew his sister was going to die. BloodWolf opened the door, furious.
"Send out troops, tell them to kill Dusk on sight."
When all of the troops gathered together, they were told what to do, turned into their wolf forms, and left.
