Through the lost mountains endless so far away from home. We are soldiers forever we fought long ago we're all lost in the darkness so far away from home.)

{ People are cruel...heartless...evil. But deep within the darkness of greed and power lies a force...or someone that can stop the pain. To make or break the tides and path. Courage, hope, faith, and love are just some of the things that will fuel the right path...but its your call to take it or not. < Quote by Michael .B > }
The sun was up and I was woken by the sound of the most annoying scream my alarm clock could ever make. Sometimes I would swear that the makers gave me that ONE just to annoy the hell out of me. As I got up I noticed something different, no yelling, no screaming... I put on my belt and walked out of my room making my way to the stairs before I heard laughter...pure joyful laughter...something I never heard so freely before in the house.
When I made it to the kitchen everyone was sitting at the table eating breakfast and spreading jokes around. I just stood there in the doorway watching then silently, till my sister looked at me with a smile.
"What's wrong Brother?" Jewel asked softly with that cute tilt of her head that I always liked.
I just laughed softly and shook my head moving to get a slice of two day old pizza from the fridge and leaned back against the fridge door idly eating on the almost stale slices.
"Its just a little something new...to finely see peace here..." I replied softly before I looked out the window slowly, noticing the rain clouds rolling over the rooftops of the small suburban homes that lined the streets...clearly stating that my work would be cut off for the day because it was all nearly outdoors so today would be my free day to roam the town again.
So after bidding my family goodbye and a few kisses between the ears I made my way to my room to change into something more...suitable for my run downtown. Semi-lose black jeans, a black t-shirt with a gray wolf on the front and a gray wolf logo on the back.
I then walked out to my truck and drove off down the road, thinking about yesterdays events before I remembered the free pet' ticket I had gotten from the woman I saved...looking at it silently I decided to bite the bullet and see just what it was all about, so I turned onto the main drag and aimed my truck for the Howling Moon Pet store.
Upon arrival to the pet store I looked over the building slowly, noticing the size of it was huge, about the size of a where house so I grabbed the ticket and got out of the truck after checking over my wallet and other habit like things before I locked the door and walked up to the front doors of the building, slowly pushing them open I stepped inside...I then noticed this place would put Pro Bass Shop to shame in the sense of Size and selection.
I looked around before a Frilled Lizard walked up to me dressed in a suit with a name tag on his jacket...and all I could even think about was those little frilled lizards from Jurassic Park.
"Welcome to Howling Moon... how may I help you?" the Lizard asked, while standing in front of me with a smile that just fitted his looks. It took me a bit longer than I wanted to finally break my train of thought just long enough to answer.
"I was um...given this yesterday and I decided to see what I could do." I replied in what was most likely the dumbest answer one could come up with on a spurt of the moment brain-dead way...what can I say? I'm not good at thinking on the fly sometimes. I dug the ticket from my pocket and held it up slightly while watching trying to think of anything else I would have to say incase asked but I kept drawing blanks...Damn how I hate my brain some times.
"Ah...okay...so what are you looking for? By the way...my names Dave." the Lizard spoke in a cheerful tone as he looked at me carefully still, and it started to make me wonder if I had gotten something on my shirt before I left home. But nah I shrugged it off at the mention of his name...Dave...and here I was calling all the frilled lizards on the movie "Bob".
"Uh...I honestly don't know. I was thinking of a husky. Female more preferable." I said softly, this made Dave give a nod and motion for me to fallow him as he turned to walk down the path. I fallowed him silently while looking around at some of the cages, noticing most of the animals inside put on displays to see if they could win a owner...going right up the line to provocative displays.
After a little while I found myself standing in front of a door.
Dave turned around and looked at me. "Well I can tell you are new to this so let me explain how this works. Every one interested in buying a pet from us will be put in a room and one by one we will send in the breed of there choice so that they can find out if they will be okay together...we look and search for happy homes."
It sounded something like a T.V. ad for the pounds. I gave a slight nod, stepping through the door and into a white blank room with only one chair. Sitting down in the chair I looked around the room before I noticed Dave had handed me a small brown paper bag. I looked up to him with a questioning look but I was answered before both of us could speak...the smell of meat...Red Meat...
I looked inside the bag and noticed that I was right, it was full of small cubes of lightly cooked beef.
"Treats for the pets..." Dave spoke softly before walking out the room.
I watched him walk out and I looked back to the bag in my lap, it took all my will power to stop myself from eating even one of the treats...but hey...it wouldn't be anything new to me ...I've ate dog bones before so what would be the harm in the meat?
Before I could contend with my thoughts, the door opened and in walked a tall and well built husky...her fur a soft cream two-toned with a shade of gray. She had a green collar around her neck that matched her emerald green eyes. I then noticed she held a clipboard in her paw and a pen in the other. Let me put something at ease for you all...some animals chose not to have cloths, and all the pets in the store don't have any so I got a good look at a major body.
The door closed behind her as she stepped closer to me, and it got me to thinking... Am I the one doing the buying or are the pets?
"My names Natala. Now first question...What are you looking for in a pet?" she asked softly while clicking the top of the pen and adjusting the clipboard.
"Well...mostly I guess you can say I am looking for a companion, and some one to count on." I replied truthfully while watching her write something down upon the paper. I couldn't help but look her over slowly, clearly she had an athletic body.
I then sat forward slightly and rested my arms across my legs while looking up at her.
"Okay...what are your interests?"
I blinked slightly. This was something I was good at answering, and to me this felt like I was getting hired for a job.
"Um...my interests are quite vast...but basically I like cars, trucks, music, guns, huskies, wolves, foxes, and border collies... and that's just the start. And I know what will come next...what do I not like..." I trailed off with a smile as she gave a nod. Oh boy this was going to be fun.
"My dislikes...heh I don't like idiotic morons who try to push there thoughts and ways of life on me or others...um...I hate the fact that chocolate makes me sick some times, and I hate the raciest barrier between both humans and animals."
Natala gave a soft nod, writing down a few more things before speaking softly.
"I don't eat chocolate, and I don't know nothing about guns but I do know how to box. Now for my last question...if I didn't lift my tail for you and let you have your way with me...would you still buy me, love me, and keep me and not toss me away when you find a young one who will.?"
This question kind of put me back some but my reply was quick, simple, and honest.
"Sex doesn't mean anything to me. For all I could care...you could never put out and I would still love you and keep you."
Natala gave a nod before turning to leave, but soon stopped when I whistled to her. She turned around and caught a cube of meat that flew through the air to her and blinked before munching it down with the up-most delicate way.
"Don't go very far Natala...you hold a high bar with me." I said with a smile as I watched her give a slight nod before walking out.
I sat there silently in the chair waiting for the next one to come through the door. Soon a young husky pup walked through the door, looking to be no older than seven months, her fur was odd, something I never seen on any husky breed before....solid copper.
Her eyes a deep crystal blue.
"Hello. Will you buy me? Momma told me that someday someone will buy me...she said all humans were nice and caring." the young pup said softly while wagging her short curled tail slowly.
God....why did this have to happen...I was now being over powered by a small, beautiful, and totally misled pup. What else could I do but nod.
"Yeah...I'll buy you." I spoke with a soft smile as I held out a small cube of meat watching her silently before I called Dave in.
"Yes?" he said, walking through the door slowly and closing it behind him.
"Get the paper work ready for Natala and this young pup...I'll take them both." I told him while I softly stroked along the young pups head, scratching behind her ears as Dave gave a nod, walking out as I stood up and fallowed him through the door, fallowed by both the young pup and Natala.
On my way down the halls a voice called out to me from the side, I then stopped and looked to where it came from, seeing a golden tan/ white male husky standing at the cage door watching me intently before sitting down and waiting for me to walk over.
I told Dave to go ahead and get the papers ready, as I walked over to the husky.
"Will you buy me too sir?" he asked me softly while looking at me with ice blue eyes.
Ah hale Mary Jesus god on a popsicle stick son of a bitch...why me? My banks going to hate me, and my parents are going to kill me. I then gave a slight nod calling back to Dave having him to come and get the young pup and soon all of us was sitting at a desk and I was signing out papers left and right.
As we walked out to the truck I opened the door, first in was Natala whom I had used the free ticket for, next was the young male who was named Cain, then lastly was the girl pup who I named Penny.
Soon we all made our way back home in somewhat a dull silence and I was wondering if I did something wrong or right, I had no clue.
It was a round of introducing everyone to my family, before we all decided to have a cook out for like the second time I have known.
"Yay...the grill gets used and abused again...Shall I call the hospital and let them know you're cooking again so they can have the ER ready for us when we come in with food poisoning?" I jokingly called out to my father who was standing on the back porch cooking hotdogs and steak on the nearly brand new grill.
As we all waited for food to get done I spent my time playing games with both Penny and Cain while my mother spoke with Natala.
Dinner went off with out a hitch, everyone joking and laughing among themselves.
I sat between Natala and Cain while I held Penny in my arms feeding her small bites of food between my own food, ending up having to dodge her youthful reflexes a few times but mostly I ended up giving her some of my food as well when she looked at me with her beautiful blue eyes.
Three days had passed since then and I was out picking up food for dinner that night.
I was driving back from the downtown supermarket with Natala, I wanted the time alone with her to talk more with her. Even with all the kindness I have given her she had been distant from me and always insisting to sleep on the floor in my room. All my pestering and requests didn't get me anywhere so I just dropped the subject when I noticed we was almost home. When I pulled the truck into the drive; instantly my body tingled like I was hit by a small jolt of lighting... something was going on.
I got out of the truck and told Natala to leave the bags for now as I walked to the door, stepping into the living room.
And as soon as I stepped in I could smell it...lightly burnt fur, and the sounds of whimpering. I sighed, thinking maybe one of my family got a little to close to the stoves burner so I sighed and walked around the corner only to see something I didn't ever expect to happen in my home.
Three men stood in the kitchen dressed in black uniforms. But that wasn't what pissed me off...it was the fact one of them had Cain on the floor with a boot on his head, another had my sister on her knees with a silenced 9mm to the back of her head...and the other had Penny stomach first on the table, holding her down while he probed at her tail hole with a finger.
"WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOME?!" I yelled causing the one who was holding down Cain to look at me.
All of them had ski-masks on so I couldn't see there faces...but I could guess this fucker was the leader of this little band.
Then I saw it...my worst fears coming back to haunt me...I saw the logo and insignia on there uniforms...a member of the HRF.
"Ah...I was wondering when you would show up...it's too bad the son of the maker; of the AAFR has taken residence in the home of dogs." the masked figure spoke with disgust but I could tell it didn't even go as high as mine did.
"Marco show him we ain't here to play games." he spoke once more.
The man violating Penny moved his hand down and coming back up with a silenced handgun before he put it to the young pups head, and fired.
All that sounded was a muted spit from the gun that only made the sound of splintering wood and shattering marble tile seam louder over it all but the one thing that was even more louder was the sound of Pennies quick and brief, painful yelp fallowed by the sound of blood dripping to the floor.
All I saw now was blood red rage in my eyes as I charged the man who shot the gun only coming to a dead stop when I found the still smoking, blood stained barrel aimed at my head.
"You bastards! You done started a war you will regret!!" I growled through clinched teeth, staring daggers at Marco and the one who ordered him to pull the trigger.
The masked figure laughed softly. "We was going to ask you to become the figurehead for our cause...but as I said...you have taken up a life with the animals so you are no better than them. We will take our leave now...we have more work to do." he spoke while moving away from Cain and walking to the door, fallowed by the other two.
When he stopped he gave a slight laugh. "Also if any of you try to fallow...I have snipers all over this home and will have them kill who ever fallows with out mercy." he said once more then left.
I stood there shaking slightly, watching as Jewel tended to Cain as Natala stepped in slowly with a soft whine, watched everything while I moved over to the table, softly taking Pennies lifeless body in my arms, holding her close as I rested my head against hers...ignoring the blood as I broke into tears.
I took me some time but I managed to calm down my sorrow but my rage was skyrocketing higher than I ever thought possible. I stood up laying the now cold body of my former pup upon the table, covering her with a small blue blanket that she had recently became attached to. I looked back to see Jewel, Cain, and Natala looking at me intently before I just shook my head.
"Jewel...call mother and father and tell them to come home right away." I said softly while moving up the stairs to my room, coming back down later stuffing a Smith & Weston .40caliabler handgun between my belt.
When I moved for the door, Natala caught my arm looking at me silently before moving closer to me, I could see the tears in her eyes.
"Please...don't go...not un-till your mother and father are here. Please?" she looked at me, before she then took me in a hug holding me close to her resting her muzzle upon my shoulder. I softly sighed and gave a nod holding her close.
"Okay."
We sat in the kitchen for hours, waiting. I knew my mother was late...but never this late. It was a hour walk from her work to home...but she might have taken another route to avoid trouble. Soon the doorbell rang and I moved to open to door only to find another disturbing sight.
My mother stood weakly in front of me, all her fur shaven off of her body and the letters HRF branded into both her breasts. I ended up catching her in my arms when she passed out as the sound of tires squealing was heard fallowed by the sight of a van sliding around the corner down the street and disappearing into the darkness.
With Natala's help we got my mother upon the couch. I then had enough sitting around and waiting for more pain...it was time to do something about it and I was going to do just that. I made a call to the small base I had helped build deep in the woods and requested a two car escort from my home to there and for another team to search for my father. While we waited I moved up to the hall closet and pulled out a large case, tapping in the number code I unlocked it and pulled out a STG77 bull-pup assault rifle loaded with 5.54x45mm rounds and fitted with a Thermal scope I had picked up along the way through my building of the UFA.
Soon the escort arrived and I moved to the door and opened it, checking the area carefully from what I could see then waved over two large wolves. These two brothers I hand picked for the beta or Second in command only due to there strength, and leadership skills because they were both bodyguards for a Major in the armed forces a few years ago only to be with out a home when the old man died. So I took them in with the offer... and with there help we got my family into one of the large vans.
I did one more scan of the area quickly and found what I thought was only a joke from the HRF goons. Seams they did have a sniper but this one didn't notice us coming from the back road and I needed the Intel. So dropping down on one knee I grinned taking aim and fired. The round found its mark in the snipers shoulder. I knew I made the hit when I heard a painful scream before I saw the sniper fall from the low second floor roof and to the ground below. I smirked and sent the two brothers out to retrieve our little prize.
When they came back I noticed the sniper was a human female...I just shook my head slightly and looked down, noticing she broke her leg in the fall.
"Strip her down and cuff her...we're taking her back with us...un-doubting she has valuable info." I spoke while I walked back to the van and stepping inside.
"Lets go before the cops and more HRF show. We got lots of work...".
I leaned to the side while we started moving...I then looked to the side at the body bag holding Pennies corpse. *So much work...and so much killing. I'll make them pay for this...all of them...I swear on your grave Penny. I swear.* I thought before I looked to the front of the van at the night surrendering to Dusk...and I knew my life was never going to be the same again.
