Chapter2 Strugle to Survive
Aurum ran down the narrow streets, her golden-brown fur shinning with crimson. "Come back here, half-breed!!!" Aurum ran faster that ever now. She turned a corner and much to her frustration slid into a dead end. "Damn..." She panted. The three gray-black wolves that were following her laughed mockingly. The biggest wolf with the the cresent scar around his eye took a step toward her. "Nowhere to run to little half-breed." Aurum bared her fangs and snarled. "Get out of my way!" Came her harsh voice. The wolves laughed and began circling her. "And let filth like you go free? I don't think so." Their yellow eyes gleamed with the light from the setting sun. Aurum winced as the pain from her leg wound pulsed through her entire body. "I can't get out of this without... without killing myself in the process," She thought to herself. Aurum looked around for some way of easy escape. All she saw was a few dumpsters and numerous piles of rotting garbage. "Well, this is a fine mess I've gotten myself into." The only thing she could think to do was howl in the hopes that someone would hear and help her. So Aurum howled a sad mournful tune. When she finished, she whispered, "I hope someone hears that and comes quick, I don't know how much longer I can hold off these wolves."

Ronin ran faster as he heard the girl howl somewhere up ahead. "Hurry it up Cloud!! We're almost there!" "For the third time, Ronin, I'm going as fast as I can!" Ronin only smiled and ran even faster. He soon caught the scent of four wolves, one of which was bleeding badly. "Damn, I hope we're not to late." Just as the two thought they would never find the girl, Ronin skidded into the alley and saw her. She was sprawled out on the ground between three huge thugs. The biggest one turned around to look at Ronin and Cloud. "Well well, what do we have here? A pair of wolves, eh? Come to save this pathetic half-breed have you?" Ronin saw the girl lift her head from the pool of blood she was lying in. When their eyes met, he felt something stir within him. Ronin unsheathed the knife he always kept by his side. "And what if we have?" He brought the knife up in front of his face where it gleamed dangerously. Cloud stepped up beside his brother and snarled viciously as he raised his fists. "Two outsiders baring their fangs at us? Surly you don't think to beat us?" The other two thugs laughed. "Cloud, when I get these fools distracted, you go and get the girl to a safer place." "You always get to have all the fun, why can't I fight this time?" Ronin smiled, showing his fangs. "Because, little brother, they'd beat the crap outta you." "Oh, like hell they would!" "Hey you two!!" The thug yelled. "Are you just gonna stand there and talk all day or are we gonna fight?" The two brothers looked up at the huge thug who was now coming towards them. "Well, they asked for it." Ronin ran at the thug while Cloud hesitantly made his way to the girl. The other two wolves came at Ronin and left the girl unattended. "Perfect!!" Cloud thought to himself. He ran to the girl's unconcious side and checked to make sure she was breathing. Once that was done, he picked her up with little effort and took her up to a building roof above the alley. Meanwhile, Ronin sliced through the three thugs with ease, knocking them into some dumpsters along the alley wall. "And don't let me see you three around here again!" He yelled. "This is our territory now!" With that, Ronin sheathed his knife and jumped to the roof with his brother and the girl.
