The Hunt
"Hurry it up Butterfly! Your slowing all of us down!"
That was the Beta. The second in command. He has dark grey coat and glowing yellow eyes. His eyes creep me out. I think that wolf's name is Gray. Wow, his parents probably got lazy naming him.
"Such a fragile fool. We don't need him. Alpha, just abandon him already!"
That was the Luna. Or the female Alpha. I dunno, meh who cares. She has pure white fur as well as glittering blue eyes. Her eyes are like mine. Blue. But her's brought her luck and power, while mine's gave me cruelty and weakness. Her name is Snowflake.
"Snowflake, please. He is also a wolf, just like you. We can't abandon him like this."
That's the all powerful Alpha. His name is Crimson. Makes sense, he has a rare crimson eyes and a beautiful jet black coat. He at least cares for us "defected" wolves. And that is why I chose this pack.
"Alpha, that weakling called Holy is slowing us all down! At this rate, we'll lose the prey!" Gray growled. I knew this was directed at me. Like usual, I'm the one who takes the blame.
I tried to bite back the bitterness, "I'm sorry Lord Gray, but I can't run as fast as you guys, please forgive me. And by the way, the name's Howl, not Holy."
"I don't care! Howl, Holy, whatever! Stop being so lazy and pick it up!" Gray hissed at me.
I hissed back at him.
"Alpha, we should seriously consider ditching this trash. It's weighing us all down and we're all paying heavily for this!" Snowflake complaint.
"Snowflake! Gray! I already told you guys! We are not abandoning Howl!"
We are getting closer to the prey. Our prey. I sensed fear in it, how I long to bite into it's meat.
Then, I sensed...... Confidence.
"Alpha! The deer is gonna go to the right and escape! Let's corner it to the left now!" I instructed.
Gray jeered back, "Hah! Why should we ever listen to you! Weak! Everyone! Corner it at the right!"
That's when the prey got away. For the 5th time today, we failed to get our prey.
"Enough for today! Everyone, return to our camp! Eat the leftovers from yesterday! We'll try again tomorrow!" The Alpha commanded with his strong voice.
On the way back to camp, it wasn't pleasant.
I got hateful looks just about everyone.
"Nice work again Buttercup!"
"You miserable creature."
"You don't belong in this world!"
"Great! We're eating leftovers again!"
Oh ya, I got used to this kind of treatment. It's pretty normal to me.
All of the wolves gathered together at our main camp to feast on some leftovers from last night's hunt. A few scraps of deer meat, a few ducks, couple of rabbits, and a frog.
Gross... Who in the world would eat the frog?!
Then I remembered.
Me.
As the Omega, I only get scraps of "leftovers". I hafta wait until all the others finish their share until I get mines. Oh well. My guess are I'll probably hafta eat the frog. Or I can starve.
The frog tasted gross! So slimy and gooey! I am never gonna eat frog meat again!
Oh right.
I can't.
Then I went back to my bed to sleep.
Did I mention I sleep outside the wolf den.
I woke up from my beautiful nightmare by someone howling.
Dude. It's morning. And the sun didn't even come up yet. Calm down fella.
That's when someone stepped on me.
"Hey worm! Go fetch us some water! I'm thirsty!"
Who is it now?! I need to sleep ya know......
That's when I felt a sharp slash on my back.
"WAKE UP YOU CHICK! GO FETCH ME SOME WATER!"
Grrrrrr.... This is basically how I wake up everyday. Nice life eh?
So I dragged myself over to the pond. I probably look like some drunk wolf that woke up to early.
I picked up a huge leaf, folded it, and I filled it with water.
Then I went back so the camp.
"What took ya so long slug?! I was about to die of thirst!"
Ya right.
While the other wolves had breakfast, I went on a walk in the woods.
Ok, now lemme introduce you to my pack.
Here's how it works:
-There's the Alpha (Crimson) and the Luna (Snowflake)
-There's the Beta (Gray)
- There's the Sentinels *A/N there are 2 pairs of sentinels in each wolf pack, mates. They are specially chosen by the Alpha and the Beta. The Alpha and the Beta train them so if anything happens to theirselves, the sentinels may take their places*
The Sentinels pairs are: Blaze and Amber, Rudi and Tasha
-There's the Elders, which the Alpha seek for advice
They are: Tora, Raven, Holta, and Fewtia and many more. I don't care much about them.
- Finally there's the Assassins. The name pretty much explains it all...
They are: Shadow, Star, ScarFangs, and more I dunno about
Those are the main, important roles.
Yes yes, there are also Warriors, Hunters, Scouters, Trackers, Pup watchers, Pups and the "undetermined".
And finally there's me. The Omega.
Our pack is fairly big, about 30 wolves or something. Wow. Ain't I lucky. I got chose to be the Omega out of 30 wolves. Thanks a lot blue eyes.
"HOWL! HOWLLL! COME BACK TO CAMP YOU DANDELION! WE'RE HAVING AN IMPORTANT MEETING. OH YEAH, IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER IF YOU COME BACK ANYWAYS!"
Ugh. What important meeting are they having now? Last time, the so called important meeting was about reasons why they should ditch me. Haha, but ta bad! The Alpha apparently likes my personality. I'm stuck in this wolf pack for the rest of my life wether you like it or not.
As I begin to walk back, I heard a rustling in the bushes. I stepped closer and I found a squirrel. Oooo this will make a nice gift for the Alpha.
So I sank my fangs into it and carried it back to camp.
