Fleeing crows

Prologue

Two sets of paws could be heard padding around the ancient forest as amber leaves ran from the tress marking the start of autumn. The once vivid green like skyscrapers turning into desolated teak-brown branches. The scampering hares could be heard as the two pups ran on the forest floor running over clumps of moss. As the black and white pups reached a clearing they spotted the rest of their pack resting in the mint grass.

"GABRIEL" shouted a snow white wolf running towards the two pups.

"Gabriel what have I told you about running off" the white wolf said in a voice that could make the bravest of warrior cower in fear.

"I'm sorry mother but Luci was showing me a new clearing in the forest its perfect for the pack mother, oh you must go see it" the white pup chirped with his eyes brighter than the moon.

"GABRIEL I HAVE NO TIME FOR SUCH NONSENSE, AND I HAVE TOLD YOU MANY TIMES TO NOT ASSOCIATE YOUR SELF WITH THOSE LOWER THAN YOU" she said while glaring down at the black wolf pup next to her own.

"But he's not lower than me mother." Gabriel stated.

"Nonsense. Now come along Gabriel it time for us sleep." as the white wolf walked away with her chest broad while Gabriel followed her looking behind him to get one last look at the obsidian wolf.

As the sun became replaced by the pearl moon a new atmosphere filled the clearing. As the pack stayed in a silent slumber, other wolves pilled in the clearing as their shadows walked on tree closing in on the slumbering pack.

The obsidian pup stirred to the pungent foreign scent that masked the scent of his own pack, pulling his sluggish body of the ground and trying to catch any sign of movement. As his eyes finally settled on the moving figures he ran as fast as he could to the other side of the clearing as one thought replayed on his mind: Find Gabriel and get out of here.

When Lucifer reached where Gabriel was sleeping the wolves where slinking closer to the pack. Lucifer nudged Gabriel with his charcoal nose

"Gabe wake up" he said in a rushed whisper.

"Gabriel wake up or so help me..." he said again louder this time.

"Lucifer, what are u doing?" Gabe tiredly asked out of confusion

"Can't you smell it we have to leave Gabe now" Lucifer voice steadily raising.

"B-but what about my mother and the other pups?" Gabriel asked becoming more and more aware that something was going on.

"They can protect themselves, now we need to go NOW!" and as like if it was planned the shadows attacked. As the wolves of their own pack had finally awoken from their slumber, Lucifer saw the opportunity to run and so he did. His siding wish to live through something like that again but he stopped in his tracks. The fear was slowly bubbling inside him forming into a typhoon of emotions ready to crash down on the world. He turned back. He knew that Gabriel wouldn't survive without him, he planned it out in his head: Get Gabe and go. It was certainly easier said then done. When he got back to the clearing the sight in front of him was unholy. Wolves ripping each other to shreds.

Heads, legs, ears, eyes and organs were being ripped apart at the thread. The once olive grass was stained crimson with the blood of both packs .

Walking through the field was worse the squishing of blood beneath his paws and what was worse the massacre was far from over. Shadows had began work on the pups now they broke them so easily ripping them apart and feeding of their small carcases.

Lucifer knew he would have to find Gabriel quickly. He kept looking for any sight of sign until he saw a white flash. He ran after it eventually catching up and pouncing on the running creature. As he looked down he saw a tired Gabriel, covered head to toe in blood, slowly drying on his forehead.

"They killed her Luci.... she tried to protect me and they killed her" he said, chocking the words out.

"You were right Luci. You're always right "he barely managed to say, trying to gather his composure. Lucifer slowly got off him he clenched his jaw and muttered the words

"I promise you young Gabriel, we will find these shadows and we will make them pay".

The news of the packs demise travelled through the forest, into the mountains and stopped at the shore, in order to keep their packs protected the alphas of each packs became allies, to make sure if these shadows did strike again that the pack they next struck was protected and any survivors where helped. Although most knew the truth behind it, if they where attacked there would be no survivors. All they could was pray they weren't next.

But the two wolves that did escape that night where not prepared to sit back and pray, they wanted revenge and where going to do anything in their power to get it.

A/n:so yeah this is the first time we have done anything like this so any criticism is accepted.
