[OLD] Wolves in the Stars

Chapter 10- Theft

it had been 4 months since Corro had joined the pack of Gifted Wolves. Now a young adult, Corro had spent the past few months training under the adult wolves. Learning about his abilities and how to use them. In that time Corro's body had also changed. He was larger and stronger now, no longer a vulnerable pup, he could take care of himself now without needing anyone to protect him. His fur had remained pure white however a lot of wolves had noticed that his pelt sometimes reflects sunlight like a shiny silver coin and in rare cases when natural light makes his coat shine a faint ray of colours will faintly reflect off his coat. But this had only happened 3 times and seemed to only be because of his connection to Light.

A few other wolves Corro's age (He's about a year old now. Wolves age really fast okay XD) Had been brought into the pack and brought with them their own set of abilities. And like Corro they joined the pack soon after being introduced. One wolf, Corro had made a strong friendship with was Dusty. A runt of his litter but the cheeriest wolf Corro had ever met. His fur was coloured very similarly to an Australian Shepard Dog. With a mainly light grey body with a light brown underbelly with black speckled spots all over his body and black and brown patches over his left and right eye and half black ears. 

However during the past few months, a few wolves had not returned to the pack including Silvia and Hylia.. Search parties were sent out to find them, however they proved to have no success..

When Corro had joined the pack there were roughly 25 wolves, and currently there is 19 including the newly joined wolves. By order of the alphas, no wolf is permitted to leave the territory until plans to recovering the lost wolves has been put into action.

-------------------------------------------------------------

To pass some time Corro and Dusty decided to practise their stamina and running by racing each other by the territory border, without the use of their abilities of course.

While the two young wolves raced eachother, Dusty was leaving Corro behind in the dust (Pun not intended but yee) a  couple of meters behind.

Takita and his pups were out exploring the territory. While Ember and Char had started to develop their powers, Pyre showed no sign of it.

Being a single parent, Takita was visibly exhausted. Having to care for 3 energetic pups on his own was definitely tiring him out, but he hoped the adventure would help to tire the pups out a bit. But Pyre and Ember constantly jumped and ran around their dad eager to play, sometimes even grabbing onto his tail or feet and letting themselves be dragged. Char on the other hand (or paw) was fully absorbed in exploring his surroundings, always roughly 15 meters away from the rest of his family, he inspected all the new scents and details all around him. 

They continued to wander around for the next hour, Char gradually getting farther and farther away from the others when something caught his attention: Something moving in the bushes.

Curiously, he moved closer to the bushes, maybe it was a rabbit? he thought. He followed through the bush and noticed it dash into the open towards another bush. It looked like a mouse, but it was black. Char gave chase after the mouse, thinking he could impress his dad by catching something all on his own.

As he chased it, he didn't hear his father telling him to not go to far. Char ended up following the Mouse outside of the borders. The mouse then ran into a small hole in the ground with Char trying to squeeze his face into the hole. He managed to actually catch the mouse in his mouth and pulled it out of the hole. It died reasonably quick. feeling Very proud of himself and triumphant over the little rodent. He soon realised after looking around, that he had no idea where he was. He couldn't see his dad, nor his siblings, or anyone. He called out:

"Daddy? Ember? Pyre?..Anyon-" 

He couldn't finish his sentence before he was yanked off the ground by the scruff (the skin on the back of neck). He yelped out in fear as the wolf that grabbed him started to run off whilst carrying him. 

Char yelped out as much as he could in a desperate cry for help. 

His father heard him, and bolted off in the direction of Char's yelp. He ran faster than a speeding bullet, flares of fire even stared to roll off his fur as he ran!

"Daddy! Help Me!!!" Char cried out

The wolf carrying Char swung him into a tree to shut him up. It did the trick. But she'd wasted just enough time for Takita to see them.

"Get. Your teeth. Off of MY SON!!" He barked ferociously and bolted towards the she-wolf in a ball of fire!

She waited for him to get just a meter away from her before she jumped out of the way and caused Takita to blast straight through the trees. Then she continued to run. Takita turned around and ran after her completely engulfed in fire and rage. He grabbed onto her back thigh with his fangs and locked his mouth shut and pulled her back. But the deeper he bit in the more blood he tasted, and unfortunately for him the blood tasted like poison, because it was.

In a few seconds he was hit with a horrible migraine and he let go and dropped to the ground as his whole body shook wildly and his ability to breathe was becoming increasingly difficult.

He couldn't move.

The wolf looked at him for a moment. 

Then she continued to run, far far way, towards the Volcanic regions.
