The Wolves of the Gems

Chapter 6

The Farm: Snow Pack Territory: Inside The Barn: Late Spring

  The two siblings were thrown onto the barn floor and the other wolves backed up with their heads down. A white wolf illuminated the top floor off the barn as she looked down on Darkness and Silver. The she-wolf stared directly at the siblings, her ears forward, canines bared, her neck arched and her head and tail held high.

  "What are you doing in my territory!?" The white wolf growled at the two. Neither Darkness nor Silver answered. "Answer me Rogues!" The yellow eyes on the she-wolf began to glow a pale blue as did the gem around her neck.

  "I will not answer to a wolf who states false claims," Darknes growled, staring directly at the white wolf.

  "Those claims are not false, Darkness and Silver, son and daughter of Shadow, Alpha of the Rogue Pack." Darkness and Silver widened their eyes at the white she-wolf.

  "I do not accept being called the child of Shadow," Darkness snarled, taking a step closer to the white wolf. "And neither will my sister."

  "Unfortunate for you, that name will forever stay," the she-wolf smiled down dangerously at the two, "now, tell me. Where is the wolf you were with, the one you captured."

  "We didn't capture her," Silver objected, "we saved her from Iowa." At that, every wolf in the barn apart from Darkness and Silver began to laugh.

  Darkness narrowed his eyes at the wolves. 'How could they be so foolish and stupid?' He thought before he snapped. "If you think we're joking, then your as dumb as a newborn." Every wolf bared their teeth at Darkness, some even took a dangerous step towards the siblings. "Why would we, wolves who hate the Rogues and who have suffered as much as any wolf here want to give them an advantage? We would rather keep a wolf like that as far as possible from their paws." Every wolf looked around at each other, some not sure what to believe. The white wolf's eyes stopped glowing pale blue and returned to their yellow colour at that point.

  "No wonder we can't find her, Brother."

  Everyone turned to the barn door. At least five wolves stood at the door, but many more could be seen in the farm courtyard, but the one that caught everyone's eyes was the grey wolf with blood red stained fur.

  "Victoria," Darkness growled, glaring at grey wolf.

  "Darkness, Silver and the Snow Pack, what a pleasure," Victoria said, smiling at the wolves in the barn.

  "Victoria, leave my territory. Now," the white wolf ordered, jumping off the level she was on, landing beside Darkness.

  "You should know by now Snowstorm, that's not going to happen," Victoria looked down, smirking, "at least, not without a fight."

  "I'm surprised Shadow isn't here, is he finally too cowardly to show his face," Silver said, glaring at Victoria.

  "Oh, didn't any of you runts hear, I'm the Alpha of the Mountain Pack now," Victoria smirked, holding her head high. "Now since none of you are going to start. Pack," Victoria raised her voice, "Attack these wolves!" The wolves behind Victoria ran towards the barn door.

  Snowstorm closed her yellow eyes. "That's not happening," she growled quietly, opening her eyes revealing pale blue ones. The entrance to the barn slowly started to freeze over, ice sealing it. "Everyone, out the back," Snowstorm ordered. All the wolves, including Darkness and Silver, ran to a gap under the barn. Once everyone was out, the ice shattered as the Rogue wolves entered the barn.

  "Where are they?" The wolves heard Victoria growl.

  "This way," a wolf answered her, and soon the Snow Pack saw Rogue wolves file out of the barn.
