Chapter 11 The Fight

I woke up the next morning. There was a commotion on the other side of the den rock. I stood up and walked to the other side. Beyond the fence was a group of people. I shuddered. I couldn't take human contact anymore. I started to walk to the other side. I heard a voice. Except I didn't hear it.





Tuff is that you! It was Sammy's voice!





I ran over to the fence.





Yes it's me. Where are you. I can't see you at all.





I'm right here you don't see me?





No there are to many humans to see you out of all of them.





I'll try to get to the front of the crowd.





I waited for her face to appear somewhere in the crowd. Then I saw her. I started to walk toward her. Her face look relieved yet there was stress in her eyes. Then without warning I was slammed to the ground. It was Kar. He was trying to get me to be submissive again. Histel had told me that the other day.





He wasn't trying to bite my neck again but he was standing there and snarling at me. I curled my tail in and showed my neck. Kar got off me and walked away. I waited to stand up again. Kar disappeared behind a tree. I stood up. I could see Sammy. She was crying. She probably thought Kar was trying to kill me. I walked over to the fence.





Sammy I'm all right. That was just the alpha male of the pack. He was making sure I wasn't going to try and up live him.





Sammy looked up. Oh Tuff I'm glad your OK. I already have a plan to get you out-





Wait. I think I better stay here a bit longer and learn my way as a wolf. Remember I was separated from my family at a young age.





W-what do you mean?





I mean I'm going to stay for now.





Oh, Ok I guess it would be best for you. Well I got to go. Bye Tuff.





Bye Sammy.



I watched the crowd start to leave. I watch Sammy and her family walk away. I sat there. What was I supposed to do now. I didn't even know how to act like a wolf. Not the proper way anyway. I started to walk around the den rock. All of a sudden I was hit by a black blurr. It was Yistu. Yistu was born in the same litter as Histel. Yistu was a major trouble maker, to say the least.



I was knocked to the ground. Yistu kept on running. Then two more wolves jumped over me. It was Creamsly and Jisten. They were both covered in mud. I snorted. The I felt teeth sink into my back paw. I let out a yelp and turned. It was Napo. Napo's job in the pack was to make sure everyone was doing their job. I didn't know why he was biting me.



Napo bit harder. I let out several more yelps of pain. I lay all the way down. Napo let go and walked away. I checked my back paw. It was bleeding a lot. I licked it. I kept on licking untill it was clean. I got back up and walked over to the sleeping area and lay down. I guessed I should just stay out of the way.

I shut my eyes. I slept for a few minutes before I heard a whine. I opened an eye. It was Histel above me.

"I wouldn't sleep if I were you or Daddy will think you're weak and you don't want that do you?"

I just looked at her. Then I got up. I looked over at Kar. He was punishing Yistu for being foolish. I had to do something. Histel, Yistu, Creamsly and Jisten were all still pups. They were from the last litter. I had to do something. I walked over to Kar. Kar had Yistu on his back and showing his belly meaning he was sorry.

"Kar" I said, "Can't you take it easier on these guys"

"What is it to you. You're and outsider" Snarled Kar.

"Well even I am from a litter of a pack this year. I didn't even know wolf ways because I was separated from my family at an early age"

Kar stopped biting at Yistu. He looked like he was in thought. Then his expression grew mad. He snarled and jumped at me. This time I didn't back down. I met him head on. I couldn't take Kar's stupid attitude anymore. We fought and fought. I could hear humans shouting. I could hear Histel whining. I knocked Kar over. He lay there panting. I just looked at him.

"I don't want to run the pack. I just want you to be reasonable"

Kar lay there panting. Then he spoke in a newer and clearer voice "I'm sorry for my behavior. I should have not acted the way that I did. I'm sorry"

"Ok. You can be the pack leader. You just need to be nicer"

Then I just walked away. I lay down and licked my wounds untill I fell asleep.
