Chapter 1: Territorial

Note: Here we go! The first chapter! Remember the terms and conditions please, and inbox me if you need to change anything! Not all of you will be in the first chapter, but you will be in the next one, I promise. In this chapter I will just try and introduce everyone first, so everyone knows who is in the story! :D

WEREWOLF

Tia/Snowfire's POV

Padding through the thick undergrowth, I creep slowly towards the prey. A small, young deer, grazing near a small pond that came alive with insects like dragonflies in the summer. The deer didn't seem fazed though, and it didn't seem to notice me creeping up on it either.

"Make sure you are downwind" the familiar voice rumbled in my brain, and I barely acknowledged it. I knew what I was doing. I'd been doing this for...weeks.

All it took was one spring of my paws and I soared through the air like a bullet, my jaw connecting with the deer's neck but not fastening on. In surprise, it hit the floor, struggling to get up, but at that moment I regain my balance, spin round and clamp my teeth on its head, ripping it quickly and, I would like to say cleanly, but judging by the amount of blood on my paws and muzzle, that wasn't a good description.

"Wrong, wrong, wrong. You're supposed to bite it, not knock it to the ground!" Lewis, the pack alpha sighs as he emerges from the bushes. I was new to the pack by only a few months, Lewis and Hannah's adopted daughter. Sort of. My old parents kicked me out when they found out I was an omega wolf-not many people wanted omegas. Turns out, thankfully, this pack welcomed them.

For now, I was the pack alpha's hunting apprentice. I wasn't very good at it...

"I still caught it!"" I grumble, ripping a bit of meat off the deer and chewing on it. It was stringy, and full of blood, but it tasted good. 

"The pack comes first, Tia. Bring it to our den" Lewis orders, the large, sleek black wolf turning round as it heads back the way we came. His wolf name was Xephos, but everyone just called him Lewis. I was Snowfire, because apparently, I had a fiery attitude and my coat was white with grey "smoke" patches. I didn't particularly like my wolf name, but others commented that it was cute.

Huffing under my breath, I grip the deer between my teeth, awkwardly dragging it along the forest floor. Lewis growled in irritation, padding round behind me to pick up the back of it, helping me carry it. 

Nearing the large den set in a large clearing in the woods, we pass some of the patrols, like Leafblade, a brown coloured wolf with black patches and hazel eyes, and Leafing Moonlit, whom I was good friends with. Not many people agreed with the fact that Moon was an omega and on patrol, since other patrols, such as Leafblade, were alphas. But Leafing, a light hazel brown wolf with emerald green eyes, was a strong and quick-footed wolf, and was respected by a lot of the pack. Nodding at the two, Leafing smiles, licking me in a greeting on the cheek.

"Hey Tia, nice deer you have there, did you catch that?" she asks, knowing I had only just started to hunt.

"Yep!" I reply in my head happily, though my limbs were beginning to ache with the effort of carrying this deer around, even with the alpha leader helping me. The two wolves bow as he passes and he simply nods, walking past. Leafing was good friends with Lewis, whereas Leafblade chose to stay to himself most of the time. 

"Xephos, Lomadia has started her heat cycle" Leafing thinks urgently, and Lewis promptly drops the deer on the floor, bounding quickly down the pathway into the busy-as-usual den. Groaning, I strain to pick the deer up myself and I hear the padding of paws as two more wolves approach me.

"Having trouble there?" one voice snickers, and I glance up, smiling as I take in Silva's wolf form, otherwise known as Starclaw, and next to her, Jara, also known as Crimson. They were both pretty much my best friends, Starclaw being a silver wolf with white speckles and amber eyes, and Crimson being a grey-white wolf with dark teal eyes. She was a hunter, and was very isolated, being with friends with two wolves in the entire pack-me, and another one. Silva was pretty social, but was still kinda lonely.

"Help me with this, will you?" I sigh, tugging angrily on the hoof of the deer.

"I'll help you" yet another voice chips in. Glancing up, I see Rythian, a deep, black wolf which looked slightly purple in the darkness, and he had mysterious glowing purple eyes. 

"Thanks Rythian" I smile, and he heaves the deer onto his back, jogging down to the den on his own.

"I think I'm going to start my heat cycle soon" Silva sighs as we jog down to the den, murmuring greetings to the other members of the pack. The pack mind link was strange-you could hear who you wanted, block out who you wanted, and focus on everyone conversation and none at the same time. 

"Ew, go away" I chuckle, if a wolf could even do that. It just sounded like air wheezing out of my lungs.

"Have you had your heat cycle yet?" she asks, and Crimson had randomly disappeared. 

"Not yet. I'm at the age though, so probably soon" I grumble, passing the nursing mother den. Minty greeted us, three pups at her stomach.

"Who's are these?" I ask her, licking the pups. It was a tradition that an omega lick pups-it was said to give them protection. 

"The alpha's and Hannah's. I'm looking after them whilst Hannah is on her heat cycle" Minty replies, the golden coloured wolf tired and lazily lying on the floor. Hannah was a beautiful, stunning golden omega, a lot more golden than Minty, to the point where she glowed in the sun. Hannah had piercing deep green eyes, and she was amazing. An alpha's dream omega. Since Lewis and Hannah had bonded, the scent of her heat cycle did not affect other alpha's in the area.

Just then, Silva gasps, recoiling harshly. Several alphas nearby sniff the air, pupils dilating.

"Heat cycle kicking in?" I chuckle. It wouldn't fully kick in for another half an hour yet.

"Oh God. Come with me please" She asks, beginning to bound away.

"I'll come with you" Simon, a large ginger wolf barked from across the den, skittering through the other wolves to her side. Simon was an alpha, but he had been mated with. However, his omega partner was bonded with by an alpha of another pack. Since an alpha pack leader's bond bite destroys anything less than the pack leader's bite, Simon's link to his omega was destroyed. But he still felt the bond, and was not affected by heat cycles. Simon was the Alpha right hand, the second in command, and he protected omegas on their heat cycle. 

"Come here ya bugger" He growls, nudging her towards a direction, and the two take off, and I follow quickly behind. It was time to find a location to let her have her heat cycle in. I passed Eclipse on the way, a friend of mine, a black alpha wolf with white swirls on her face and stomach with piercing ice blue eyes. She was also my friend, and I quickly give her a lick as a greeting as I fly past.

We found a ridge near a lake, with a small burrow in the side of it. Silva pants as she goes into it, letting out a cry as her heat cycle finally kicked in, and she slumped onto the ground, whimpering. I could smell the heat cycle scent that drove alpha's crazy, but neither Simon or I were affected. Simon slowly licked her on the cheek to calm her down, whilst I patrolled outside, guarding her.

Then I heard a noise. Someone was running towards us. It wasn't a wolf, and it wasn't human. The familiar blood-filled smell invaded my nose, and I growled, turning my pack mind link on, thinking one word over and over again.

Vampire.

VAMPIRE

Jerome's POV

Werewolf.

I could smell them from a mile away. One of them, maybe a few, were on our territory.

"Mitch, Jerome, Liam, go check it out" Sky snaps quickly. He was the leader of our coven, and controlled us all.

"Take some others with you" he orders, before disappearing inside a cave.

Slowly, we turn around, before picking a few people out; Ash, a red haired vampire with vibrant orange eyes and the ability to control fire, Rose, a long brown haired vampire with brown and grey eyes, and the ability to move things with her mind (we didn't get on well) and Mat, a short blonde haired vampire with bright purple eyes, and the ability to calm people down. Our hunting party left the camp, flitting through the fields faster than a blink of an eye.

Time to hunt down some dogs.

There was a flash of brown hair beside me, and I saw Mitch pull up next to me, grinning widely with the thrill of the chase. The closer we got, the more we could feel the fresh blood pumping through werewolf veins. From the scent, two were omegas and one was an alpha. Perfect. Just in time for dinner.

Mitch's brown eyes diluted as he smelt the blood and all too suddenly, it turned into a race. We were crossing werewolf territory now, and I saw Liam falter slightly-one of his best friends was a werewolf, and though we did not mention it to Sky, we still disapproved. The silver haired boy with blood red eyes glances at me, before turning back to path, eyes narrowing-we were getting close.

Liam could control the air, so he changed the path of the wind to disguise our scent, but I was fairly sure it was too late. It didn't matter-an alpha and two omegas who were probably on their heat cycle were easy pickings any day.

We found the small hole in the ridge easy enough. We could hear growling inside it, and we could smell the heat cycle of an omega inside, whimpering at our scent. Mitch jumped down in front, about to pounce when-

The other omega came out of nowhere, a white wolf with grey patches and flaming red eyes. She snarled, gripping Mitch's neck and swinging him into the lake below.

"Tia!" Liam barely had enough time to gasp before I launched myself at the wolf. Six versus three? This should be easy.

The alpha stayed in the hole, probably guarding the defenseless omega. No doubt the pack would be informed and would be on their way. That meant we only had a short amount of time to kill these mutts before thirty of them came crashing down.

The omega, Tia I think she was called, Liam's friend, saw my attack and grabbed my arm with her teeth. Cursing, I whack her right in the jaw and she whimpers as she flies backwards, hitting a tree. Mat and Ash throw themselves at her, and Rose and I, enemies in our own coven, focus on the alpha in the hole.

It was a ginger wolf, quite large, so I was guessing this was the alpha's second. Perfect.

It growled and snapped at me, and I raise an eyebrow. I had the power to make a burning sensation rise up in werewolves alone-it didn't work on vampires. The alpha's second whimpers, backing away, but still tries to defend the omega.

Tia suddenly howls from the tree and I snarl in annoyance-they were sounding the panic alarm.

Mitch suddenly jumps out of nowhere, gripping Tia tightly by the scruff of her neck and begins to ram her head over and over again into the tree. She gurgles and whimpers, writhing under his grip and growling, but he does not stop. Mat grabs her by the legs and tries to rip her apart.

All of a sudden, there was a deep, ominous growl resonating from the hill, and upon whirling round, a wolf jumped out of the ridge from nowhere, a humongous auburn haired wolf, and knocked me to the ground.

Note: A dog. In a ridge. No prizes for guessing who that is.

I skid down the hill, rapidly grabbing the grass for traction but finding none. Rose and Mitch focus on the auburn wolf, who somehow rises above our height-it was two times the size of a normal wolf, and it had pitch black eyes. 

The ginger wolf, darts out of its hiding hole and rips Mat off Tia who was howling in pain, blood flowing in a rapid stream down her jaw but she still manages to clamp her teeth on his arm and rake a large wound on it before we could hear the thud of around ten wolves running towards us.

"Retreat!" I yell, and automatically, we begin to flit back towards our territory, ignoring the howls of triumph from behind us. This was far from over.

Note: Um. This was really hard. I HAD TO KEEP GOING BACK AND FORTH TO LOOK AT YOUR PROFILES. It was really difficult trying to find your certain character profile -_- If you didn't appear in this chapter, you will appear in the next!

The question for this week is: Is there any characters WHO AREN'T IN THE YOGSCAST/TEAM CRAFTED who are in the story (look at the comments of everyone who entered) who you want to befriend or be enemies with? For example, Tia as a friend, or Silva, or them as enemies, or Liam as a friend, or Mat, or them as enemies? You have a week to answer the question! Even if you don't want to befriend or become enemies with any of them just comment "Nope" in the comments :D
