The White Wolves

chapter 1

~~~5 YEARS LATER~~~

OCEAN'S POV

I gave a sharp cry of pain as I tripped over a tree root and heard a sickening crack as I realized that my ankle was broken. Being chased by wolves at night with no moon is not exactly the best situation to be in, especially in the dark forest.

I knew it was over the moment I tried to get up and crumpled back to the ground, my foot not being able to support my body weight. I groaned as I tried to get up, if I was gonna go down I wasn't gonna go down without a fight,I was not gonna let my brothers death be in vain.

Over the years I had managed to swipe a few weapons from travelers and the odd farm out in the middle of nowhere. I had a dagger in my right hand and a hunting knife in the other, ready to be thrown as I saw multiple pairs of glowing red eyes appear out of the darkness. As they came closer I was able to study them more clearly.
They were pitch black as if they were born from the deepest shadows, who knows maybe they were, but there was something else that I noticed. These were the same wolves that attacked my village five years ago. Those were the same wolves that killed my brother.

The pain in my ankle was forgotten, replaced with pure anger and hatred as I looked at them.
I stood, my eyes narrowed as I looked at them. From what I noticed in my previous encounter with them, they like to attack when it's dark, I'm guessing it gives them strength.
And they never seem to attack alone they were always in a pack. Safety in numbers. There were about 8 of them.

Dammit I'm screwed!!!

There's too many of them. There was no way I would be able to fight in normal circumstances and here I am with a broken ankle, in the dark. The only thing fueling me is my thirst for revenge.

They growled at me as I took a step forward, my hunting knife and dagger at the ready, waiting to see who would make the first move.
Suddenly one of them lunged at me nearly taking out my eyes if I hadn't dodged the attack.As another one came at me I flung my knife at it and caught it's paw. It gave a yelp as fell and the others now looked at me so ferociously that if I was not seething with anger I would have wet my pants.

Another one lunged at me, teeth bared aiming for my neck. I blocked the strike and stabbed it's side. Then it dissolved into the shadows, just like that. I was so astonished that I didn't notice another wolf coming at me, it's razor sharp claws tore through my side. It gave a bark of triumph as it pinned me to the ground.
Just as it was going to go for the kill, something jumped out of the woods taking it out.More came out attacking the black wolves.

I scrambled backwards and hit my back against a tree. It took me a moment to relise that the things that were attacking were also wolves by they were snow white.I also realized that they were the complete opposite of the wolves that were attacking me a moment ago.

Another thing that astonished me was that they formed a circle around me almost as if they were protecting me, who knows with all the crazy things that have been going on I wouldn't be suprised if they turned to eat me as soon as the other ones have left.
Soon the shadow wolves (that's what I have decided to call them) retreated knowing that they wouldn't win this one. They all disappeared into the shadows. The moment the remaining wolves turned to me, I knew it was all over.
