Dispersal

Chapter 4: Start Of War

    Neva proceeded to the main densite, only to find London pacing nervously.

    "If you don't mind me asking, Alpha, what's wrong?" Asked Neva.

   "It's... the Snake River Pack." He said. "They're declaring war on us." He said, serious, looking straight into her eyes.

   Neva's heart sank. She was not an experienced fighter, and with such a small pack, it didn't seem like her life in a pack would last long.

   "We've got three good fighters left-" Began London.

   "Two, sir." Corrected Wisconsin. "I can't quite seem to find Ryker." 

    Neva's heart dropped, she had a feeling she knew what he might be doing. Leaving. To find his home, his mother and father.

   "What?" Said London. "I don't understand! We gave him all a wolf could have wanted."

  "Not everything..." Said Neva, slowly. "He wanted to find his family."

  "What? But that's not nature of the wolf!" London said, his voice full of disbelief.

 "He's not like us, he may look like us, but he's got some other animal in him..." Neva began. "One who desires family, and, I'm sure, a large one too." She finished.

"There goes another fighter." Mumbled London.

"I'll try to find him, maybe he hasn't left yet!" Neva said, as she began to run, just when-

Aaaaawwwwooooo!

Adana's call pierced the air.  "That's the alert! Let's go guys!" Barked London, as they all raced down the hill. A large, grey wolf was on their border.

"I message to you, Snake River will be Swift, and you all, shall be gone soon. Our attack is soon, as well. Brace yourself." He said, with an evil grin before disappearing.

"Well, here's what we will do-" Began London, before he was interrupted by a loud...

"CHARGE!"

"Shoot!" Said London as they began to race across the land toward the river.

"They really want this place!" Said Wisconsin, as he kicked a wolf who was struggling to get across the rocks, and into the raging river. He howled before being pulled under the river's mighty current. 

Adara began to fight mercilessly. If she wasn't useful for anything, she was useful as a Druid fighter. London backed her up, as they began to duel. Wisconsin was dealing with the others trying to get across, and Neva stood there, lost.

How can I help them? She thought. Just then, she spotted a wolf sneaking up on London from the forest. She dashed into the forest, and tackled him.

"Begone!" She Barked. 

He snickered, "Oh pup, you don't understand. When we fight, IT'S TO THE DEATH!" She howled, as she leaped at Neva. Neva kicked her back, and she hit a tree. She didn't know if she was merely unconscious or if she was dead. She didn't want to, if she was honest. She darted out of the woods. 

Wisconsin was now dueling one, circling one another before they would collide in a battle of brutes. London and Neva, growing tired, still fought hard. Neva leaped at the wolf fighting Wisconsin.

"Go help those two, I've got this one!" She Barked between bites to Wisconsin. With a nod, he dashed off to the aid of London and Adana. 

"What a fool's mistake." Said the wolf she was fighting. The competitor smiled, her teeth sharp as knives. "You're going down." She Barked.

Neva was backed up against the river, and the wolf charged straight for her.
