Run Away Royal

Chapter 4

I sat in the small opening staring at the trees. I finally realized it wasn't a tree, but a person. They looked deeply at me. Somewhat intrigued. I stood up and started walking towards the human. They departed from the tree and ran. I ran after them and with my speed I caught them fast.

"Stop!" I yelled. They turned and looked at me. I recognized them but I don't know where. "What's your name?" I asked.

"Eric, I'm just a passing rogue." He said. I looked at him.

'He's a hybrid.' My mother said. 'Well yeah but he wasn't discovered until now' my father said.

Mother raised her hand to silence him. She nodded to a guard and he took out his sword. One swift motion and the father and mother's heads were chopped off as the little boy ran. 'Don't come back mutt!' My mother spat.

I came back from the memory. "I remember you."

He looked at me sadly, "I remember you too, Faith. Or Madison."

I raised my eyebrow at him. He gulped, "I kind of ease dropped a little. Plus you seemed really familiar."

"Wait you said rogue? They don't know you're here do they?" I asked.

He shook his head. "They are scary wolves I'm too afraid to ask to join."

I smiled, "Let's go then."

I grabbed the about 9 year olds' hand and dragged him to Alpha quarters. Jason walked out and I grabbed him, "This is Eric he's a very good man and he needs a pack."

He glanced at Eric before scratching his hand. There was a slight shift in atmosphere and some wolves howled. Eric smiled, "Thank you Alpha." He nodded and Eric ran off.

"Thank you Jason." He shrugged and walked away. I rolled my eyes and went to training.

I did jump squats, lifted weights, ran, burpees, lunges and everything else I could think of. I didn't even break a sweat. I growled in frustration. I got up and walked outside. There was adult warriors training. One wolf snarled at me. I snarled back and shifted. He challenged me and he's going down.

He lunged first but I easily dodged it. Before he could realize what just happened I jumped on his back and bit into his shoulder. He cried out and shook. I jumped off in front of him looking into his eyes. We snarled and circled each other.

I lunged at him. He tried to dodge me but he wasn't fast enough. I scrapped my claws down his back. He winced and snapped at me. He tackled me down and bit my neck. I butted him off with my hind legs. He flew off hitting a tree and falling on the ground. He had scraped my neck badly with his teeth but i feel it healing already.

He came barreling at me. I stood my ground. He got in my face and growled loudly. I smacked him down with my paw and bit hard into his neck. He whined in retreat and I let go. He shifted to his human form and sat there bewildered. I examined him and realized I bit really deep.

I shifted to my human form and sat next to him. He growled lowly. I ignored him and put my hand on his neck. I thought about him healing and a small blue light illuminated from my hand. I pulled away and his wounds were gone and only dried blood remained.

He looked at me terrified. My nose started bleeding and everything went black.

I woke up in my room. I looked next to me to find Philip sitting there. I sat up, "Are you ok?"

He looked drained, "Yeah, I had to warn you that your mother is pregnant. She reported you dead but, possibly still alive. There's a reward for whoever brings you dead or alive. She is replacing you with a new child."
