The Changing Moon

The Fire pack Leader

  "Hey. HEY PRINCEY GET UP!" Blizzard jumped awake. He heard Torch sigh and growl as he rose and looked out the large hole in the trench.  he saw a full dark grey coated wolf with a helmet on. There was also a large wave like symbol on his helm, however instead of water it was snow.

  "Are you even allowed to talk to us, Velko?" Blizzard shouted back. 

  The gray wolf jumped with surprise and shrugged, "Maybe not maybe yes. Are you down in a pit? I think yes." the Velko then turned around and disappear. Blizzard smiled and returned to Torch who was now gnawing on her chains.

  "Hey stop that," she stopped for a moment then continued, "I am serious, doing that could ruin your teeth." After that remark she stopped and looked at him a frown on her face.

  "So you are not in heavy chains. I am. So either you can help or you can sit there and be quite." blizzard sat and watched as she gnawed on her chains. it felt like hours but she did finally manged to put a crack on one. She smiled and bit at it even more vigorously. soon the chain was broken off from its main holding place. She spat out a bit of metal from her mouth.

  "Wow, I would never be able to do that. Let alone try." Blizzard said as he helped her slip off the chains cuff from her leg. Torch only laughed and stretched out her leg in pleasure. They continued to break off the chains till only one was left.

  "That is enough for one day. We can chop off the last on tomorrow, then we can escape." Torch said standing and stretching. 

  Blizzard rose fast and opened his eyes wide, 'ESCAPE! How are we going to do that? This is a fifty foot tall pit with deadly ice shards surrounding the top. What is your plan?" Torch looked at him with a face of 'wow you are the most negative person i have ever met face' in witch Blizzard has come to always gaze away at in response.

  "look I am all for being killed together, however there is a way out. we use the snow and each other to make a forty foot tall ladder. Then I will, at the top, jump onto one of the ice shards and quickly climb up. then i will find a branch or something to pull you up with. See a plan." Torch now lay down and sighed.

  "Yeah but,"Blizzard walked a little ways away and frowned, "what am I to do? I can't go back to my father. My mother died when I was young. I still have brothers! I have no one else and even if I did they would all be mean. I never did and never will have someone..." Blizzard now bit his tongue, holding back tears and stopping any more negative words to come out. 

  "You have me." Torch said. blizzard could hear her chain rattling as she moved.

  Blizzard shook his head, "You don't LIKE me. You are just using me, you just want my help to escape..." Blizzard froze as he felt Koga creep around in his mind, winning the battle against Aarush.

  "What? I saved you! I risked my life to protect you from your own father AND NOW YOU WANT TO SAY THAT I DON"T LIKE YOU! THAT I AM JUST USING YOU! WHAT THE HELL! I COULD HAVE DIED!" Torch yelled as she did blizzard hear the chain creak against the force she was creating.

"I-I want to be alone. Ok I want to go somewhere that is quite and won't..." he trailed off as he walked away leaving Torch to vent by herself. The rest of the day they stayed on opposite sides of the pit.

 Nightfall

Blizzard had awoke to Velkos shouting. Velko has thrown down two deer legs for him and Torch. Blizzard however had lost his appetite and wanted to apologize to Torch silently. on the snow Blizzard sat, eyes open staring at the wall. But for Blizzard he was staring at his mother. He watched as hes mother bounded over happily to him and his brothers when they were just pups. He saw his little self curled up in a ball shivering, his brother Ashclaw poking him. he smiled then he felt the snow above him shift weirdly. he rose and looked up at the giant hole in the pit. He saw out of the corner of his eye Torch rise and hunch her back.

  "Hey Blizz,"Torch said sadness in her voice, " i am sorry if this does not work out. I just want to say i hope you can escape your father and if you do. make your way over to the fire packs territory."

  "What are y-" but before blizzard could finish he saw the bright red and pitch black figure of a wolf appear. ~Oh shit, that's Cole~ he watched as Cole, the wolf Fire pack leaders, deep yellow eyes gazed over him and Torch.
