Howls of tomorrow

#2 Death

       Soon Sienna and Jenny exited the tunnel and joined the rest of the soon-to-be cheer leaders to start stretching. I soon got bored of watching them do cartwheels and jumping up and down in the air and decided to take a look at the football team. My older brother Jessie was on the team along with his best friends Ethan, and Luke.

     They where all a year older than I was. I was really close to Jessie, but not so much his friends. Luke's father was one of the best worriers in the pack so he was respected, he had light brown curly hair that slightly covered his ears. He had fair skin and was built pretty well, he was pretty good looking and Jenny had a crush on him for the past three years. Ethan was definitely the most respected out of all of them.

    His parents where the Alpha and Luna of the pack which made him the future alpha. Due to his status he was quite the popular guy. He and Sienna are siblings if you haven't caught that yet. He had ash blond hair that was short on the sides but had length on top, whenever you saw him he always had it slicked back. He had tan skin and breathtaking green eyes, 

    I never liked the guy but every time he even came close to me I would get butterfly's, It was probably because of the power he emitted where ever he went. 

    Both practices ended at the same time, so some went back into the locker rooms, and some went to the bleachers. Sienna and Jenny both came over to the bleachers to talk to their moms  and to tell them about practice. "The coach said that she was posting the banister tomorrow, but that we all showed a lot of potential!" Jenny said as she was bouncing up and down in excitement. " That's great honey! Now, both of you go change and meet us here when your done." They both nodded and ran to locker room to go shower and change.

    Luna Bella's eyes glazed over, which meant that she was mind linking some one or she was being mind linked. Her eyes regained their normal color and she looked like she was panicking. just as she was about to speak we heard a ferocious howl in the distance that sent a shiver through my spine. Rouge wolves. 

    The rouges where closing in on the field and I could even see about tree of them trough the trees. Their howls started to get closer and louder. I could see all the visible fear on their faces as all the female leaders of the pack started to create a protective circle around me. "Lilith, stay calm okay hun we'll be okay." My mom said while she staring at the 7 rouges that were approaching her. We where soon surrounded by at least a hundred rouges. It was a waiting game. Who would make the first move, just as I thought they where trying to intimate us, one of the rouge wolves pounced on Morgan, the beta female.  She was caught off guard and was tackled to the ground. 

*SNAP*

    A dead silence consumed the air around us as the other female leaders looked at their dead friend in silent horror. We could hear a sorrowful howl pierce the air in the distance. I can only imagine that its the beta mourning his dead mate. The rouges took this distraction to their advantage and then started closing in on the three of us. After I witnessed the ease that it took to kill the beta female, I was naturally terrified for my life and the others around me. A rouge lunged at my mother and got on top of her, I was terrified of what was to come next.

     Just as quickly as my moment of horror was en flicked upon me it was withdrawn and replaced with rage. I quickly lunged at the rouge on top of my mother, and with all the strength I could muster I twisted his neck as fast as I could

*SNAP*

    I stood there momentarily shocked at what I had just done. I just had my first kill. I could see my mothers face now and for a second it was beaming with pride but was then replaced with terror. A loud growl was heard just behind me as I was ripped of  the back of the dead rouge. I was staring at who I can only assume was the rouge's leader. I looked into his eyes and what i saw was terrifying. His eyes simmers with rage and hate. " YOU KILLED MY SON" he roared into my face. By now I was trembling with fear. He trough me to the ground with all his force, and I'm sure that I broke a few bones. My mother was trying to stand up but was pinned to the ground by three more rouges. Their leader looked between me and my mother, and for some reason he looked like he had just won the lottery. 

    "This is her mother" he laughed. He slowly bent down and flipped onto my back. Their leader retracted all of his claws in one hand and held me down with his free one. He ripped his claws into my back causing me to release a blood curdling scream. Only now did I relies that he has silver claws. To gain silver claws is an excruciating process, where one has to rip out all of their claws and replace them with silver versions. It takes months to heal when you do get them, and years to master them. 

    He uses his claws several more times before the Luna jumps into action and forces him off of me. I want to thank her but cant seem to for words. My mother was looking at me with tears in her eyes as she watched me scream in pain. I can see the Luna in the corner of my eye having a stare down with the rouge leader. I want to get up and help but my legs feel like anvils. The leader of the rouges had had enough and picked up the Luna by her throat. I've never felt fear like I had in this moment and I could see it in her and my moms eyes too. For what ever reason he put down the Luna and I breathed out an internal sigh of relief. However, the relief was quickly replaced with fear as he walked towards my mother. At this point I was seeing black spots from the blood lose and pain, but I couldn't pass out yet, not when my mother was in the way of death its self.

    He walked up to her and bent down, only to look me in the eye and retract his claw. By now tears where streaming down my face, the rouge leader was still looking me dead in the eye with a dark smirk on his face. In one swift motion he slit my moms throat, right in front of me. I screamed at the top of my lungs as I was staring at my mothers dead body. This whole time I was wonder where the alpha was, he was the one who was supposed to protect us, yet he was no where to be found.

    I was about to give up and give into the darkness when I remembered the Luna. She was still laying on the ground in pain, as I was. her eyes met the leaders, and he started walking towards her. he picked her up by the neck once more and I could tell this time he had no intent of letting her go. He gave me one last look before he snapped her neck and dropped her limp body to the ground. A pain surged through me at the loss of my Luna. He snapped his head towards me as he started stepping closer before he was tackled to the ground by the alpha. 

    The Alpha ripped out his throat before any of the rouges had the chance to jump in to save their leader. Some of the rouges ran into the forest at the sight of their leaders demise, and some bowed their heads in show of submission. Just as he ran over to his dead mate and eyed me awake and alive he let out the most sorrowful howl and started to weep into the arms of his dead mate. Once I saw Sienna, Jenny, Ethan, and Jessie all run to their dead loved ones, they all shot me a glare that said "I should have been you instead of them". After that, I let the darkness consume me until I was no longer conscious.
