Chapter 2: The Pack Returns

I've been working on this for a while. It's not super long, but  it needed to be done. XD

Now I need to update Lost Souls and Mobs Can't Handle Us. And Fallen Kingdom. That might go on hold for a bit until I get inspiration to write that again.

Anyway, enjoy the chapter!

~Two Years Later~

“Rob!” The voice of Pete called.

I turned away from the many papers on the desk and looked at the man behind me.

“What’s up Pete?” I asked as Pete stopped in front of me.

Pete bent over and placed his hands on his knees. He held up a finger and tried to catch his breath. I waited patiently for him to catch it.

“So, Ali and Tyler were on watch duty when they spotted two horses a few miles from here. They went to get a closer look at who it was. Rob. Mitch and Jerome have returned!” Pete explained.

A smile made it’s way on my face. One that hasn’t been seen in two years.

“That’s amazing! Okay. I need you and Choco to intercept them at Highwater Pass. To make sure they come along, I need you to basically kidnap them. Think you can handle that?”

Pete nodded and grinned widely.

“It will be my pleasure Rob. We’ll leave immediately.” Pete said . "What else do you wish?"

"Send Jon and Noah to get Vikk and Lachlan when they arrive. Then have Kenny get Preston. Tell them to do what you are doing. Ok?" I asked.

Pete nodded before running off.

As soon as he was out of sight, I turned back to my desk and let the smile drop. I closed my eyes and sighed heavily.

‘Please let us get them first.’ I thought to myself.

I opened my eyes again and looked towards a mirror that sat in the corner of the room. I walked over to it, and stared at my reflection.

Back then, before all this chaos happened, I used to be a young, vibrant king. But now, bags have made their way onto my face and stubble has infected my face. The cut that had attacked my face two years ago, was now a scar that showed what I had been through. A light blue t-shirt hung off my body, and a pair of baggy brown pants hung to my waist. A pair of dark brown boots encased my feet and a blue cape hung off my shoulders.

“Times change Rob. And we have to change too.” I said to my reflection. “Everyone changes.”

~Pete’s POV~

“Are you ready Choco?” I asked as we watched the oncoming horses get closer and closer.

“Yeah, but remind me why we’re wearing all black and have ski masks?” Choco asked from beside me.

“Because Rob doesn’t want them to know who we are until we get back to base.” I answered, fiddling with my mask. “By the way, around the Pack, we need to call Rob the Fallen.”

“Why?” Choco asked, raising an eyebrow at me from behind his mask.

“Because it sounds cool.” I said with a shrug.

Choco rolled his eyes before turning back to the rode.

“You have the stun potions right?” He asked.

Pulling out the potions, I gave him a nod.

“Good, because here they come.” Choco whispered.

Sure enough, Mitch and Jerome’s horses came trotting around the corner; their riders unaware as they talked to each other. I nodded to Choco who nodded back. Choco picked up a small stone near his feet and chucked it across the path; effectively scaring the horses and bucking Mitch and Jerome off.

“What the heck was that?” Mitch asked as he and Jerome quickly jumped up from the ground; weapons in hand.

“I don’t know Mitch.” Jerome said as I put up three fingers; slowly putting them down until none remained.

Once they were all down, me and Choco grabbed our potions and threw them; both splashing down in front of the two. The two went still as the potion went into effect; causing them to drop their weapons and fall to the ground immobilized.

“We got ‘em.” Choco said, standing up and walking towards the two.

I followed behind as the two glared at us; only able to watch as we stopped in front of them. I turned my head to look at Choco.

“Who do you want to carry?” I asked him, disguising my voice slightly.

“I’ll carry the Bacca.” He said, picking up the now ragdolled Jerome.

I nodded and threw Mitch over my shoulder and led the way back to base.

“Just so you two know, we are not your enemies. You’ll know why once we reach our base.” I said, walking down the familiar path until we reached the hidden base.

I typed in the passcode into the secret slot before the large steel doors slid open.

“How long do these potions last?” Choco asked, stopping as we entered the semi empty room.

“It only lasts just enough for us to get here.” I said as I dropped Mitch who began to move. “Geez Mitch you’re heavy.”

“How did you know my name?” Mitch asked as he sat up and stretched his muscles; Jerome doing the same.

“Oh right!” I said, pulling off my ski mask. “Hi guys!”

“Pete? Choco? What the heck?” Jerome asked as Choco took off his mask.

“It was the only way to get you to come without us getting caught.” I said, crossing my arms. “The Fallen ordered it.”

“Who’s the Fallen? And what happened while we were gone?” Mitch asked as he and Jerome stood up.

“All questions will be answered in due time. For now, we’ll show you around. Just until Jon, Noah, and Kenny return with everyone else.” I said, walking away.

“But, if you guys are here, where’s Rob?” Mitch asked as he followed behind.

“All questions will be answered in due time.” I said again; walking towards the mess hall.

~Rob’s POV~

“Rob. They’re all here. Everyone is in the mess hall awaiting you. The Pack have been asking where you are. I think it’s time.” Ryan said as he walked into my study.

I sighed; nodding as I stood up.

“I guess you’re right. So everyone is gathered in the mess hall?” I asked as I followed behind Ryan.

“Yes sir. I personally gathered everyone up and told to where to go.” Ryan said as he stopped in front of the entrance.

“Okay. Thank you Ryan.” I said; hugging him.

“My pleasure King. Now, let’s get you out there.” Ryan said as he quietly pushed open the doors.

“ATTENTION EVERYONE!” Ryan exclaimed as I hid behind him. “I HAVE RETURNED WITH OUR LEADER, THE FALLEN.”

The Pack sat up in their seats;interested in who the Fallen was. In all honesty, I have no idea why people started calling me that.

Ryan stepped aside so I could walk ahead. Everyone cheered as I walked towards the Pack who ran to me.

“ROB!” They exclaimed as the tackled me into a hug.

“Hi guys.” I said quietly, tears filling my eyes.

My family is back together again.
