"So Bone, what made you stand up for 'Tank'?" I turned to Galaxis to respond to her question.
"To be honest... I don't really know... there is just something about him. Something I feel like we can trust. Like a connection."
"Like me and Galaxis felt with you?"
"Yeah, probably." I jumped as the 'prisoner' spoke right behind me, "You mean loyalty? I have plenty of that, I just have enough brains to not share that with others."
"You will learn to share it upon us-"
"If we give you a chance, right?" I interrupted Radium's harsh statement and gave him a warning glare.
"I just might if you can get me out of here." He grumbled, his head now visible outside the den.
"Tonight, I will be on 'guard duty' and-"
"What!? Bonestorm, are you insane?! We can't trust him!" Galaxis snarled quietly. "And, even if we could, the midnight hunt is tonight." Radium backed her up.
"All the more reason to try. Look, I think we can trust him, I feel connected to you guys, and for some reason, to him. Don't you feel it too? Something strange is going on, and I'm determined to find out what. Whether you guys help me or not. Our Subordinate Ceremonies are tomorrow, yes?"
"Right, but-"
"But nothing. Slypack Alpha has more respect for you two than me, you won't get into too much trouble if you're with me. He will think I tricked you into it or some scat like that." They nodded slowly as I continued, "The worst he can do is ban me." I paused at that thought. 'Ban me...' I realized I grew up in this pack. I wasn't borne into it, I was traded...
"Bonestorm. Bonestorm, are you ok?" I felt woozy as I turned to Galaxis. I opened my mouth to respond, but before I could, everything went black.

{Tank's POV}

As I sat in the den, I listened to them talk. It was as if I wasn't there. They talked about me and why that white pup stood up for me. I feel different when I am around them... a connection. They continued to talk while I listened and thought about how I could get out of here. Of course I wouldn't stay in this sorry excuse of a pack, I was a Rogue and Rogue Wolves stayed in small groups, not packs. I was about to express my idea for escaping when the runt they called Bonestorm, passed out.
The male ran off and came back with a female wolf. I assume she was the medic since she had the stench of herbs and spices. She sniffed Bonestorm and rubbed some sort of berries together and rubbed it on her forehead. It began to rain slightly so they brought her into the lousy 'den' I was in.
"What happened?" The she wolf confronted, staring at me. Was she asking me?
"Bonestorm said something about-"
"Er... she saw something... a vision of some sort." I cut off the male whom she addressed as Radium, afraid he would tell her our plan.
I knew she had realized something after she said she could get banned. She had froze in her own thoughts. Some called it truth. Some, like me, called it Realization.
