Hayden sat and watched Meg carefully. She thumped her tail, watching him back. They were silent. Meg tried to
concentrate on him to get her mind off the foul, decaying smell of rotting flesh. She sneezed and put her nose in her paws.
Not knowing exactly what to say, they just said nothing. Come on. Thought Meg. There has to be something to talk about.
Meg noticed he had a black ear and paw. She stared at his gray eyes. What to say, what to say. She thought about her
dream. Hayden looked down. Meg had been home for the first time in a while. But, she didn't want to leave because of
Hayden. "So, why are you here?" Hayden asked.
Meg looked up in surprise. "Eli." She croaked.
Hayden nodded. "Eli is tricky. Be careful of him.Be...... aware."
Meg was about to say something when an earsplitting howl rang out. Wolves started snarling and growling.
She peeked around Hayden, who was turned, and saw millions of wolves rushing toward the entrance. "This place
is very different than my pack. Females can't fight. But, my best friend Myria is an assassin." Meg commented as
several females ran by.
"That's sad. Females are our greatest weapon next to Eli." Hayden replied.
"Hayden, intruders!" Eli snarled, stopping as he ran by.
Hayden whined. "Stay here." He ordered and ran out.
Meg rolled her eyes. "No such luck." She muttered running out after him.
The first thing that caught Megs eyes was Kyle. She heard thousands of wolves yelling at him. Eli pushed
through and narrowed his eyes at Kyle, whispered something in his ear then ordered something to his wolves.
Kyle! Meg rushed forward. He wasn't a wolf. Not good, not good! Meg thought. She heard him yelping.
Meg ran as fast as she could, her tail bleeding again. "No!" She howled, her voice drowned out by all the growling.
But, by the time she got there, it was too late. All hatred rose up inside her and she let out a loud screech.
Her eyes fell on Eli who backed away. Her eyes were full of hate and venom. Meg pulled her lip back into snarl.
"You have no idea what you just did" She growled, her voice low.
Meg let out a loud growl as she lept at Eli. She wrapped her paws around his neck and sunk her teeth
into his neck. He yelped and stumbled back. Eli reared back and landed on his back. Meg dug her teeth deeper.
Eli struggled and squirmed. Meg dug her claws into the back of this neck. With a quick jerk of his neck,
he broke free and bit Megs leg. She growled loudly and Eli froze, staring into her eyes, his wide. Meg barked and
launched her face into his and sunk her teeth into his face. He didn't even have time to yelp. Meg got off of him and
licked the blood off her teeth and lips and looked around. All the wolves' faces were shocked and stunned. She ran out
of the tunnels- forever.
