Wolf pack

Start of a Pack

"Wait, start over again. He what?"
Jynx and Anu stood excitedly side by side as the New Moon Wolf looked them both over.
"He wants to start a pack! A pack with wolves just like us, doesn't that sound great!"
Anya's silver eyes went back and forth between the two. "He wants to start a pack after trying to kill you?" She squinted her eyes suspiciously.
Jynx grinned wide, eyes shining. "To be fair I tried to kill him too."
The speckled black wolf shook her head slowly, making the stars seem to shimmer. "Why does this sound like a good idea?"
"Every argument with her groes like this." Jynx sighed.
Anu frowned, then stepped forward. "What can you do?"
Anya looked surprised. "What do you mean?"
"Abilities."
She folded her ears back, but looked at Jynx who nodded. If he trusted Anu she might be able to. "Empathy. I can manipulate emotions."
The blood wolf looked between the two. "Manipulate reality and manipulate emotions. Seems like a powerful combination."
"It is. What can you do?"
Anu's eyes seemed to darken. "Blood wolf, venom causes extreme pain. Blood vision; I can track."
"Is that all?"
He smirked as Rage peered through, his voice going lower and raspy. "I have more tricks."
Anya stood back and blinked. "Well then."
Anu shook his head, forcing Rage back down. "These abilities always seem nice on the surface, but we all know what they really mean. We are feared, and we are alone. Let me ask you, how many friends have you made in your life?"
Jynx and Anya looked at each other, then drifted their eyes down.
"That's what I thought. We don't belong anywhere. We are the heathens and the outcasts. I'll say I'm tired of always running alone. It's time we make a pack. It's time to unite and understand each other. The world needs to see we are not just outcasts and we can belong." Anu stepped forward, feeling his blood start to heat. "What do you say, do you want to keep running around pointlessly or do you want to join and be worth something?"
Anya took a slow breath and thought a moment, then stood straight and nodded her head. "I'm tired of running. I'm in."
The blood wolf smirked and chuckled. "Good choice."
Jynx laughed and wrapped his foreleg over Anya's shoulders, tackling her playfully. "Now that we got you-" he poked her ears with his nose, "-where to next?"
Anu turned and looked at the sky, letting the scents come back to him.
"Cleo."
