The Fallen

Chapter 1

Jessie

    The deer was standing there just looking around as if something was watching it, but it's true something was watching it, a pack of wolves. These wolves were waiting for their leader, who was a pure black wolf with golden eyes, they were waiting for him to give the signal to attack so they could all eat. 

    When he finally gave the signal several wolves came from the front and the back leading it to the left, right into the paws of a Silver pelted wolf, that silver wolf was, Me, the packs newest member trying to show that she is worthy of being higher than even the thick fluffy pelt of Flora, she was the packs pet and the only one that babies up to every pack member for free food that was already digested she didn't care she said it's the only way to survive in the pack, I hoped to show the pack leader, Cole, that I was not meant to be a pet. 

    I was given the task to kill this deer as fast as possible, luckily for me I knew how to handle a deer hunt. So as the deer came hurtling towards me I jumped at its neck and did a quick killing bite to the throat and it fell dead only fifty feet away from the leader. He looked astonished, The whole pack was open mouthed surprised that I had killed the deer that fast.

    I used to be in a pack, but the pack got killed by the hunters and I was the best hunter but these wolves have no clue that I was part of the ancient pack of the Fallen. Now I was going to be in this pack known as the Exiles. 

    I noticed I was standing too close to the kill as the leader came up to eat he was waiting for me to back off so he could eat first. I took a few steps back with my tail lowered and my head down showing that I was not the leader and he was welcome to the kill to eat first. But as I backed off he circled around me pushing me towards the kill and twitched his ears to it, telling me to eat with him.

    After everyone had eaten we had returned to the place called the field. The leader signaled for us to all change and he would say what my rank in the pack was as soon as we got back to the house. I trotted into the brush only to bump right into Cole, he turned around and glared only to have his eyes lighten with a gentle look. he motioned for me to join him in changing, and wait for him after I finished. I decided it was fine to join him since he was to be my pack leader, I had to respect his decisions.

    When I had finished my change I had stood up looking around for my clothing that I had left in the brush about 10 yards off so I jogged there and found my clothes and got dressed. After I got changed I decided it was right to wait for Cole, so I walked over to a tree and climbed it. I  waited for about ten more minutes. The bushes below me started to move and I looked down to see a blonde haired girl known as Brena walk out, she looked up at me and smiled then sat down and motioned for me to join her on the ground, so I jumped down.

“Hey, Jessie” she says as I jumped.

“Hi”

“That was amazing what you did to that deer, and you also got to eat with Cole!”

“I just did what I thought was right, and killing the deer at the time felt right.”

“Well that fast kill will get you a good spot in the pack.”

    That's when she jumped and glanced over as the bushes started to move again and a black haired guy came walking out, that was Cole, Brena got up and shot away knowing Cole wanted to walk with me alone. Cole watched her run and started to walk towards me.

“Walk with me, Jessie.” he ordered. I got up from my spot and stayed a foot behind showing that i was not challenging him.

“Jessie”

“Yes, Cole?”

“I have decided what you will be to the pack and you will accept it without a fight, correct?”

“Yes, Cole, I’ll accept without a fight.”

“Good.”

    We continued to walk back without saying a word and when we returned Flora came running out to greet her master, she glared at me for walking so close to him. I swear that Flora was out to kill me. I glared right back at her. 

Cole lead the way into the house and declared it was a pack meeting to decide what the newest member “Jessie” me would become in the pack.

“For the rank I’m going to give to Jessie I want no arguing I believe she truly deserved this rank, any disagreement will be dealt with later.“Yes, sir.” the whole pack howled.

    “As you all saw the kill Jessie has made I have decided that since she made a quick kill of that deer and the speed she had demonstrated, we also have seen her fighting skills which are far more better than anyone in this room, including me. So the rank Jessie will be given is, Luna, i will take Jessie as my mate and no one will disobey her!”

There were some people with shocked expressions on their face and some people were murmuring to each other.

“Also from this moment forth Jessie will not be known as Jessie, she will be given a pack name.”

    Great this is the second name change I’ve had from being a loner known as Silver to being a pack member of the Fallen who changed my name to Jessie, and now this pack.

“Jessie, from this moment on will be known as, Roxie.”

    Everyone in the pack cheered except for Flora who had a huge scowl on her face and looked as if she was going to run out of the room when she got the chance. But to many people were in the room watching us and she was not in the back, so if she started moving people would start asking questions and that would cause too much attention. 

    As soon as the rank and renaming ceremony ended we all decided it was time to rest. Cole came up to me and smiled showing his fangs proving he would fight me if necessary. I wasn't going to fight him, well, it was my first time being an alpha, I knew that eventually it would happen; I was also the best fighter in the Fallen, and was going to be the next Luna, if Sonya died before the pack was murdered out of cold blood. 

    I just stared at Cole showing no emotions. I was not in love with Cole but every packs rule out there is that the alpha can have any pack member in the pack and no one could argue with the alpha unless they had a death wish. I surely had no death wish, and I would happily lead this pack if I was given complete control.

    I sat down on the couch and went into thought about the Fallen. No one in the pack new who the true leader was except very few people who were very loyal to the pack. I for one knew who the leader was. The truth is that the leader survived the attack and is out there trying to take over a new pack to fight the hunters. If people really wanted to know who the leader was and not follow some shy little pup who gave the leaders orders, his or her liking would have to fight the pup and the pup would normally beat the s**t out of the people who wanted to know. Well since the pack died the leader has no idea if anyone else survived. Since the leaders name was…

“Jessie!”

    I startled out of my thoughts and stared up into the eyes of my husband his name was Cedar the only other pack member that came with me from the Fallen the only other person who knew who the leader of the Fallen was.

“Hey Cedar”

“What are you doing? oh… yeah I mean Roxie.”

“It’s fine and i'm just sitting why?”

“look around you, everyone's getting ready to leave, it's almost five in the morning and everyone has work.”

“Oh right.”

“come on you wanted a ride home, that is if you get to go home.”

“I have all the freedom the pack members have maybe more, so yes, I get to go home, so let's go.”

    I got up and let him lead me out to the car. We had passed Cole and he just smiled and let me go. When I got out to the car I got into the passenger seat and pushed open the drivers side door before Cedar could even get to the car he just looked at me and glowered.

“you know isn’t it the guy that is supposed to open the door for the girl?”

“Yea sure once you die two more times and then maybe I’ll let you open the door for me.”

“haha, very funny, Jay.”

    Yes I had very many names, I was Jay to Cedar and the Fallen, Roxie to the Exile pack and around strangers, family and my other friends I’m known as Jessie. But the Leader of the Fallen was me, I was the oh so called great ruler of the Amazonian Rain forest, and no one expected it, they would think I was just the “pack pet” or “pup” of the pack but nope I was their most powerful leader, one who survived a silver bullet to the shoulder and through the heart. Yes it hurt like hell of course. But I survived and I do plan on taking over the Exiles even if I have to fight for it.
