Chapter1 The Distant Call
The city gleamed as the setting sun illuminated the towering buildings and small shops scattered throughout it. To the eyes of the wolves that saw this sight, the city only seemed a faded wasteland. One of these two wolves walked to the edge of the roof that they called home. The mist colored wolf sniffed the light breeze that blew all the city's scent to him. "The supply truck is heading our way, what do you want to do?" The other taller wolf sighed, his black and white mixed fur ruffled with the motion. "The only thing that there is to do." Ronin strode past Cloud, his pure black legs moving elegantly. "And that would be..?" Ronin stopped and turned around to answer his brother. But the black and white wolf was gone, now a human with black hair and blue eyes stood before him. Cloud, understanding now what they were about to do, altered his form as well. Becoming a slightly shorter, brown haired, mirror image of his brother. Cloud looked up at his slim, muscular'human' brother and asked, "Why do we always steal our food? I mean why can't we just hunt some on our own?" Ronin only smiled and said, "Because, there isn't a forest around here. But by all means, howl if you see a deer loping by. I'll be sure to catch it for you." "I just don't think stealing is right is all." Cloud answered, the indignation in his voice barely suppresed. Ronin laughed and jumped down from the building to the street below. Once he realized Cloud wasn't with him, he looked back up to the roof. "What are you doing up there? The supplies are about to come through! We have to go now, unless you want to starve tonight!" Cloud warily looked out over the edge. When he saw his brother, some four or five stories down, he quickly fell back. "Come on Cloud, don't tell me you're afraid of hieghts?" "You know I am!!" He yelled back. Ronin sighed heavily and jumped back up to the roof. Cloud was sitting quite a few feet from the edge, his green eyes shining with fear. "Oh come on! Don't make me have to push you off this building!" Cloud looked up at Ronin in disbelief. "You wouldn't." "Oh?" Ronin made as if to grab Cloud, but stopped suddenly. His eyes widened. He quickly turned around and jumped back to the street. "Ronin!! Where are you going?!!" Ronin stopped running and yelled back to his brother, "Didn't you hear that?" "Hear what?" Ronin began running again. "It was... a girl... she was screaming..." Cloud stood up and cursed under his breath. "What the hell does he think he's doing?" With that, Cloud wearily jumped down to the street to follow his brother.
