ch.2 Foul play and confusion

Chapter 2- foul play and confusion

Snow was thrown to the ground teeth griping her scruff claws digging into her fur. She tried to roll away but couldn't. So she did the only thing she could think of. "Mother mother!" She howled. Sure enough her mom came running to the rescue. "Pitch get off this instant!" She growled. Pitch let go of her scruff, stepping away. Springing up snow licked her ruffled fur glaring at pitch. "Tattle tail." He sneered. Her neck fur started to rise. How dare he all me that! "Look here Pitch." She growled putting as much venom in that one sentence as possible." I may be smaller than you but that gives you no right to treat me like I can avail to anything! I an do anything that you can with a kind heart as well might I add. Unlike you" she finished. "Oh what a good speech!" Pitch said sarcastically. "I'm quaking from head to paws!" Snow stalked off seething. She was going to go to the den until she heard the voices of mother an father getting louder by the second. She hid behind a tree not wanting to be caught ease-drooping. "Lucas I can't control Pitch! What is wrong with him?" Mother asked. Father thought about that for a second."Okay well you know how a hellhound is only supposed to have one pup. And that pup is the perfect mix of good and evil heaven and hell. Well what if since you had two one is the perfect mix of heaven and the other a perfect little devil." Father said.okay what is a hellhound?! "Who's who?" Mother asked." I for one know who our perfect little devil is, Is it that hard to guess?" He sighed. "Pitch!" Mother yowled sadly. "Oh Lucas what do we do?!" "I guess we will have to wait and see till you have one tail left Willow. How many do you have left?" Father asked. "Two" mother has only one tail all wolves do what's wrong with them?! "I guess we will find out sooner than we have hoped." Father sighed. Snow needed answers now but if she was caught listening mother would be a very angry she wolf. She slowly crept away from the tree when mother and father were looking away and ran for the den." Pitch! Pitch!" She howled. "What now snowflake?!" He muttered. "First my name is not snowflake! Second I has something to tell you!" Snow exclaimed. "Not interested" pitch said. "You will be you hear what it's about!" She insisted. "Fine I'm listening!" "Mother and father where saying weird things" snow started. "If it was about you being smart and strong I'd agree with it being weird." Pitch sneered. "Oh will you shut up and listen!" Snow growled. Pitch stayed quite. "So as I was saying they where talking about mother being a hellhound and having four tails and her only supposed to have one pup! And some other stuff." She said not wanting to tell him both of their parents called him a devil. "Alright I believe you" pitch said. "Really?" Snow asked. "No! That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard even from you!" He exclaimed. Snow walked off irritated. Who needs brothers anyways! He never listens to me! She lay down next to a tree growling. After a few minutes of trying to plot revenge she fell asleep. As soon as she closed her eyes she slipped into a dream. There was fighting all around her. Wolves running at dragons only to be thrown away like annoying flys. With each dragon that tell ten wolves went with it. Snow cringed with revulsion instantly hating the dragons. Why where they even fighting?! Then she saw a figure on a lone hill. It was a wolf but had four tails you could tell it was powerful. If looking at it you could see power radiating off of it. The wolves could sense it's presence as well for they stopped fighting and bowed in respect. The wolf nodded in there direction then started towards the dragons. One screwed up wolf against thousands of dragons seemed impossible. But the wolf did not lay a paw on any of them. It simply barked a command for them to leave and never return and the dragons where backing away with fear. Who was this? After the dragons had left the wolves came up to the wolf and asked its name. It simply said." I have not a name. But you may call me the hellhound there will always be one hellhound they will protect all." Before walking away. The dream shifted and went into a dark cave. The hellhound was curled in a nest. A pup at her side. " the next hellhound." She cooed. The dream changed and she was outside the cave. The hellhound lay deathly still. A wolf stood next to her blood on its muzzle. The hellhound had been murdered. Then she saw the hellhound had two tails not four. One disappeared leaving her with one tail. She started to breath again leaping up she swiftly killed the other wolf ripping out his throat. Snow was startled by a howl of pain behind her. She looked back to see a young wolf crumple to the ground howling again. He looked familiar but snow didn't know why. Then she saw it he looked like the hellhounds pup but larger. The hellhound sat next to her pup whispering soothing words in his ears till he stopped howling. Looking down he had two tails now. He started to howl again and a third tail appeared. After another round of pain he had his forth tail. He was the new hellhound. You could actually feel the power shift he was the one to fear now. Not his mother. She bowed in respect then walked off alone. The dream swirled as time passed quickly. She saw the hellhound father his mates pup to that pup becoming the hellhound. That pup raising its pup and the cycle went on forever. The one thing she notice was every hellhound had only one pup. Then time slowed and took its normal lace when a hellhound birthed a pup that looked different from the others she had saw. She was white with grey swirls on her back over her left eye was the yin yang symbol. Her dream shifted to when the pups mother lost her third life in a fire trapped after saving a wolf pack from its fiery grave. Her tails seemed the worst to receive of all the hellhounds. After she had received them the old hellhound ran up bowing down. "Mother why are you bowing?" She asked curiously. "Because you are now ther hellhound young one. May your lives be full of love and happiness." The old hellhound murmured. She got up and padded out of the cave alone. "Mother wait! Where are you going!?" The hellhound called after her mother. "Truth is I don't really know! It's my instincts they tell me to leave! My guess is as good as yours but I know I can't stay here, I am guessing when you reach your last life you will need to leave to!" The old hellhound yelled. "But you can't leave yet I need you! I don't have a clue how to be the hellhound!" She desperately tried to get her mother to stay. "Sorry young one I can't! I have to go but I know you'll be great!" That was the last thing the old hellhound said as she turned leaving her pup wailing for help. Snow yet again found herself in the blackness of a cave. Two wolves appeared one the hellhound the other, a replica of her father. Weirdness... "Look." The hellhound instructed. Snow looked down and spotted a black pup withering On the ground. The hellhound said a few other things but she didn't hear because her attention was on the pup. Looks like Pitch. She thought. Then she spotted something underneath the black pup. A white blob of fur moving and squirming around. Two pups! That's impossible! Snow scrambled away in shock. The hellhound laid next to the two pups and instantly they both fought for the warmest spot. "Pitch black and Snow White." The hellhound murmured. "That's it that's their names! Pitch and Snow!" The wolf exclaimed. So that is us! Snow got closer to get a better look at the pups. The white one was obviously her. She was still fighting for the warmest spot but Pitch pushed here away. Even then they where fighting. The cave grew larger and the pups dissapeared the hellhound, well her mother actually, was sitting next to father. "Lucas we can't tell them about hellhounds." Her mother said. " I know." Father murmured. " I'll tell the pack to not utter a word about it, I am their alpha they have to listen." "Okay that will work." Mother agreed. "But what about you? No normal wolf looks like that." Father asked. "My mother taught me a trick that might work." She said. Closing her eyes she seemed in deep concentration. Her fur shimmered and turned a grey color, the Mark on her eye vanishing. Three of her tails disappeared also. She looked like the one-tailed, grey-furred wolf she always thought her mom looked like. "Woah. So you can just make your tails disappear?" Father asked." No that's impossible to do. This is just a trick of the mind, my other tails are invisible." She laughs. "And now I need a name normal creatures have that right?" "Yes we normal creatures have names." Lucas said in amusement. "Okay call me..." She looked around. "Ummmm willow." She said looking at a tree. "Okay you have a name, you look like a normal wolf, now lets call the pack." Lucas said. Mother nodded and they both padded away. Here dream grew darker and her vision turned red. She felt dizzy and toppled over falling to the cold ground. Freaking out she struggled to get up but her paws felt like they where chained to the earth. In fact they where! The chain seemed to have slithered like the devil's pet snake, wrapping around her paws and around her body. A deep laugh filled the silence. Snow snapped her head in the direction of the noise growling out a warning not to come near. "Tsk tsk young Snow don't be hasty now. You will find out who I am soon enough but I'm not here for you. Not yet, I am here so you can tell that brother of yours something." The voice laughed. "What do you want with Pitch!" Snow growled. "Nothing that concerns you!" It growled no longer laughing. "Just tell him to close his eyes and fall asleep. I'll be there the second he dreams." The voice whispered. Snow growled again. "And why would I do that?" She snarled. "I said dont be hasty pup! I can and will kill you right now if I have to!" The voice growled out. "Then why not kill me now?" Snow laughed but inside she was terrified. "Now where's the fun in that?" The voice snickered. "But if your in such a hast to die I can promise it will be soon but I do love my games. And I love my player scared first. Then they are no longer fun that's when I'll kill you love." Snow growled yet again. Who is this voice and how dare he threaten an Alpha's daughter! "Hush now and go to sleep enjoy the peaceful slumber while it lasts because soon you will be to scared to sleep." The voice cooed. She did not want to sleep but her eye lids had other ideas, they got heavy and soon closed. Curling up she soon entered a nice dreamless sleep. But now her questions had be tripled and her need for answers increased. Why can't things be simple? Why did mother keep secrets from her? Why is there a voice in her head? What does it want with pitch? And why in heavens sake is it so fascinated with sleep?!
