The Under World

Chapter 2 Why (Sandy)

I'm pretty sure I already been introduced, if not I'm Sandy. I'm an all white wolf with little grey speckles on my stomach. My eyes are crystal blue.

As I strolled down the twisty narrow hall I thought about Keisha. Then it hit me, Keisha!
I jolted to her room to see her. I couldn't believe my eyes. All I seen was Sandra standing there heaving and panting. I couldn't help it but to silently cry
"So you weren't joking. WHY! Why did you have to kill Keisha? Why?" I cried out. I couldn't let her answer.

As I laid in my moss bed having no idea of what I'm going to do without her. My best friend killed by the Alpha for absolutely no reason at all. This is all my fault I thought. Then a flowing waterfall of tears fell from my eyes. As I was sitting in my pool of tears, Sieade came strolling in.
"WHOA! What happened in here?"
"Wan't to know? Go to Keisha's room." I sniffled. I got up and followed Sieade.

"Oh. I see now." Sieade was strangely quiet.
"Ya." I replied wide eyed. Sandra snarled and ran out. Who knows what that beast was thinking but I'm pretty sure that it was something gruesome.
"So what are we going to do with this decaying Keisha body?" I don't understand why Sieade would be so mellow about this situation? Well yet again Sieade never hung out with Keisha.
"Well you can figure that out for your self." I couldn't help but to be mad at him.
"Sandy? Do you like me?"
"Why?"
"Because whenever I'm around you always talk louder, like you want Sandra to hear, on top of that loudness you bring in sass. Why?"
"It's because I don't need to be ranked in second last ( technically last) place in the pack. I deserve to be second strongest and you know that. I do not deserve last place! I am not weak nor frail!"

************************************

The air overwhelmed my nose. The freshness in the air was quit soothing. The full moon was bright making the snow blinding. I stared into the shadow filled forest with my new life ahead of me. I am making the right choice but the thought of Sieade's large scared eyes washed the thought away. I am quite worried to go out into the forest. I have to though. I reached my paw forward, gently stepping onto the fresh white powder, and I was off. Off to who knows where.
The breeze was quite appalling as it twined through my fur. Every step I take, takes me farther away from Sandra.

Sieade wasn't the worst in the pack. He's strong, funny, charming and maybe a little cute. I have to admit that I like Sieade, just a little.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, I hear a lonely howl traveling on the wind. The howl said "I am here an I'm open to mate." I stopped dead in my tracks and replied ow oooooo I replied saying the same thing. I ran off into the direction of the call. I snapped my head right to see something dart across the snow. The thing and I both came to a halt. I creeped forward and to my surprise, it's the wolf I was howling to. He was huge and gleaming white like me (without the grey speckles). The wolf was packed with muscle and he was handsome.
"I'm Theodor." Shockingly he didn't have a deep voice.
"I'm Sandy." I couldn't help but to gaze into his hazel brown eyes.
"Well Sandy, would you care to join me?"
"Sure."

************************************

We strolled along for a long time now. My feet are killing me, but I'll keep going. I am glad to finally see the sky gradually grow lighter and lighter. We must of spent the whole night walking and talking.
"We're almost there." Theodor said with a yawn.
"Good! My feet are killing me."
"Mine are too...Here we are. My den custom built by me. Um. By the way there is an extra room and it's all yours."
"Really? Thank You." I followed Theodor into his beautiful den. I can already tell he was an artist. He had beautiful designs in the wall. There was amazing bone carvings decorating the place. Some bone carvings was of three wolves, a mother, a father, and a pup. I take it it's his family and he's the pup. The lighting here is amazing. He uses fire flies to get light. I never thought of that. I ventured farther into the den following Theodor to his room, it looked so much like Sandra's. My eyes started swelling up with tears. The memory of Sandra standing beside Keisha's lifeless body flooded into my mine.

I ran out of Theodor's room, and out the entrance way. All of the sudden something grabbed my right hind leg and tripped me. I fell with a big thud.
"Hey! What was that for?" I realized it was Theodor.
"You ran out of my room like you were disgusted by me. What's wrong?"
"I don't want to talk about it."
"Just please don't leave."
"I won't. I'm just going for a walk. I'll be back for the morning meal." Theodor went back into the den.

I never moved. I just sat there. I walked back into the den because my stomach was brewing a storm.
"That was fast." Theodor yelled from the kitchen.
"I know." I solemnly replied. Theodor came wandering into the main area with two rabbits hanging from his mouth. He handed me one and sat in front of me.

Silence filled the area as I finished my last bite of rabbit.
"So? Can you tell me what happened?" Theodor broke the silence. I purposely sighed out loud, but I finally told him everything that happened.
I was almost done telling him what happened. my eyes were really watery and I kept sniffling.
"Theodor I don't get it." I whimpered.
"WHY!?!"
