Chapter 18 - The Final Trail: Sibling Rivalry

"You bastards!" He shouted going to slice Lloyd but Westen jumped in the way blocking it with a shield he had picked up nearby

"Go get Destiny out of here, I'll take care of this bozo." Westen clarified as Lloyd hated leaving his brother but knew to trust him as he ran towards the south wall opposite of Westen's direction, meanwhile James had made his way towards his sister

"So Jessica looks like things aren't going your way huh? I mean after all the arrow wound and here I am about to finish you off and take the rightful place of Alpha." James proclaimed as Jessica stood up dusting herself off, yes she did have a wound but it's wasn't too deep to limit or movements or anything

"You' re acting prideful little brother, don't be claiming something you can't back up. After all as long as you are defeated I can take my rightful place unless Jonah takes me on but I doubt that seeing as he's currently occupied."

"Prideful ? This is coming from someone who couldn't accept her own name and changed it."

"I had every right to change it! You can't act like what I did was against any sort of tradition or law."

"Well Hannah! Why change your name in the first place? I mean your original name wasn't dishonorable or even has a bad history, it's not sacred to our people to where you can't use it. So enlighten me as to why change your name."

"Because I wanted to plain and simple, not like the name Jessica is any different from what you're talking about it's just a name."

"Just a name?! Jessica is the name of our first mother the one that abandoned us and left us for a richer wolf! Dad was broken and left to work harder than before we're so glad that Lois was willing to help us even go as far to marry our father and give us a better life! You dare disrespect the Flare clan by accepting that bitch's name as if she did anything for you!"

Jessica stood there furious with James' words, he was only an infant when their mother left and was only told lies about why she disappeared, she never remarried in fact from all the research Jessica has done she left Wolftopia entirely based off the empty trail of clues left behind, all of it lead back to the faunas Lloyd called Phoenix as if she helped wolves leave their old lives behind,

"Listen James you may not believe me or even come to understand that our mother never left us for dead, nor remarried if anything she tried to make our lives better but something happened and she disappeared. I changed my name because Hannah was nothing special to me nor our family it was the name given to me by Lois to praise her grandmother, but Jessica isn't just our mother's name it's the name of one of our greatest ancestors who brought forth a new era alongside Jericho."

As the siblings stood there many feelings filled James' head as he started to walk back before getting knocked out by Jonah, James fell with blood leaking from his head, Jessica was shook she had no idea what to do her brother was in danger of losing a lot of blood yet she stood there frozen in fear. Jonah slowly made is way towards her chuckling as he was cracking his knuckles before he was kicked in his face by Lloyd who appeared out of nowhere eventually dusting himself off, giving Jessica a thumbs up before leaving.

"You know you didn't have to do that Altima." Jessica smiled knowing she was talking to herself as she looked around noticing that the only ones who were left are the Alphas, Lloyd and Destiny? This confused her as Destiny was nothing real special until watching as Westen calmly and softly knocked her out with sadness on his face. Hitting the pressure point on the back of the neck is a good idea at least for the moment.
