Chapter 6 - Chapter VI

Sam backs away slowly thinking and I just stare at Jake and inhale recognizing who he was. He was my brother's best friend before my parents passed away, but when they did he disappeared. Sam turns and runs and Jake still stays on his knee bowing his head to me," Y...You were my brother's best friend when we were little?" I ask to double-check my memory and Jake nods." Yes. I am so sorry I have betrayed you and your brother I accept any punishment you see fit Luna." My eyes go wide and I stutter and take a step back confused.

"W...What do you mean 'Luna'?" I ask falling over a plant that was sitting by the door and screaming I fall on my back with my legs resting over the plant. The door swings open and I am hidden behind the door. Jake stands up quickly and stands like a soldier at attention trying not to look at me to give away where I am laying.

A Very tall man walked out having a huge claw mark scared crossed his face and a white eye where the claw goes over his eye. Jake just stands there and swallows hard waiting for the man to start talking." What is the cause of the ruckus? Where is the young she-wolf?" The man raises an eyebrow waiting for an answer." I'm sorry sir I stumbled on my foot. Sargent Sam just went to get her and told me to wait here without explaining Sir Devoric." The man steps forward and slaps him across his face hard making him fall over." How many times do I have to tell you, you do not say my name, Mr. Silver." Jake sits on the ground looking down and nods slowly and says," I'm sorry sir it will never happen again." I can sense the menace in his voice that makes the hair on the back of my neck rise. With that, the tall man walks back into the room and I jump up from my spot quickly and grab Jake's cheek and make him look at me.

" Are you okay? What do I need to do you are bleeding?" His head was bleeding due to making contact with the tile during his fall. He grabs my hand and moves it away," I'm okay Luna see the bleeding has already stopped. you have always been so caring." he smirks and stands up slowly. " Now let's go get your brother and get you as far from here as possible," I smirk and nod and go to shift but Jake stops me practically screaming making me jump. He chuckles slightly and shrugs and starts walking down the hallway.

Jake and I turn a corner and a group of guards is surrounding a man talking to the guards look mad and confused as if someone just told them they smell like a horse's tail end. " We need to kill the male and she-wolf before Jake figures out..." It was Sam talking, and by the sound of it he saw us and we need to high tail it out of that area. As we go to turn around Sam sees us and orders my death.

I shift quickly and start to sprint but stop abruptly and look at Jake and bark looking back pining my ears. I try to ask about Coda and he puts his hand on my back and tells me to go and he will get him. He walks away and I go to follow him but he stops me and shakes his head and points toward the door giving me a quick warning glare and I pin my ears and run and slam the door open. I sit just outside of the forest line waiting for the boys to come out but it has been hours. I black out and fall asleep at the base of a tree hidden from the naked eye.

I am startled awake by a scream ecoing from the mansion in front of me and I instinctively run toward the door. As I am going to open the door it swings open into me making me fall backward with a loud yelp my brother and Jake run right past me as if there was a fire on their tail and I pin my ears and look seeing a whole bunch of guards and hear lots of voices. I jump up and run after them and nip at their heels and they chuckle.

Coda takes his shirt off and jumps shifting mid-air and lands running Jake shifts and we start racing but stay close to each other just encase something happens. We all make it to the edge of the woods and the boys are about a mile ahead of me and I feel a net go over me and it starts to singe my fur and I whimper and bite the net but it burns my mouth. I hear the boys start running back and I single them off so they don't get hurt but they both ignore me growling at me for even trying.

They both stand over me and growl pinning their ears at the guards approaching slowly with guns pointed at them. I jump up causing them to fall and the net falls off at my feet and I have a surge of rage I growl with such menace it would raise the dead. I feel dizzy and my body gets burning hot and my vision turns blurry. I hear the boys gasp and they lower their heads on either side of me.

My vision goes black and I can hear people screaming bloody murder and I pin my ears. I keep growling then my body gives out I pass out on my brother hearing him whimper and catch me on his back. He moved my body to where he was able to run without me falling off and took off running back to the woods and hiding in a cave.
