The Virus

Chapter 1

Topaz looked at her mate Barb in pure pain as a wet bundle slipped into her makeshift nest. Only a few moons ago she was a lone wolf traveling where ever she pleased when she came across a creature that was a thin ,flea covered,injured wolf. When she first saw him he was merely a wolf his red fur knotted and ripped out in some spots. She had nursed him back to health and now he was a handsome red furred,green eyed,well muscled, male wolf. Topaz was shaken from her memories when 2 red pups slipped out one after the other. Topaz looked at all 3 red pups all females one was obviously going to be the boss which was the oldest and largest the twins would be her little minions. Topaz felt a slight twinge in her belly as another pup slipped out this pup was pure white just like Topaz. Barb nuzzled it announcing it was another female. "What shall we name them love?" Barb murmered softly "What about the seasons?" Topaz asked "Indeed the eldest Autumn, the eldest twin Summer,the youngest twin Spring, and the youngest-" "Winter" They both woofed in unison. Topaz looked lovingly at her first litter and hopefully not her last litter. Topazes vision suddenly blurred and she found herself looking up at a red wolf with vacant eyes speaking to a group of wolves it must be a pack leader but whatever he was saying Topaz was unable to hear him, when she looked closely the pack leader was not a red wolf but infact he was dark gray his fur was splattered with blood! Once the unnamed blood wolf finished addressing the pack he stepped forward and pressed his nose into the nearest wolf's chest the wolf was white and straitened up as the pack leaders nose touched her fur but just as the leader touched her fur starting at her chest her beautiful white fur started to turn red... with blood. As the blood reached her face and eyes her clear bright green eyes turned a vacant black just like the leader. Before Topaz knew it she was surrounded by vacant eyed,blood drenched, and snarling wolves. Topaz looked down at her own fur and her fur was growing red. She could almost feel the stickily liquid stretch over her face and into her eyes before she knew it. For some reason Topaz felt nothing but anger she had no idea what she was mad AT but she was angry. Topaz was wrenched from this vision and thrown into a swirling blackness but there was a female white wolf "Oh! Mother" Topaz exclaimed remembering looking out between her fathers legs as a pup and watching as her mother flung herself in front of her father known as Blitz as a hunters bullet killed her instantly. "Oh Topaz! You where the oldest and the strongest and certainly the bravest of my last litter. But that's not what I came here for be warned! There comes a great darkness that spreads even to the kindness of hearts! It will make wolf turn on wolf and The Island Of The Beloved Wolf will fall !"
