Chapter 3: crossfire

Mildred shook her Son awake violently

"Hey wake up!" she said loudly. Reist rolled over and mumbled something, she couldn't be sure but it sounded mildly offensive. She thumped his ear to be safe "do you want to meet the dragons or not?" She said. Reist sat up in bed immediately

"oh right!!" He said jumping out of bed, awake immediately. The days until the day of trip had seemed to drag by and fly by simultaneously, but it was here now. He had asked his mom to wake him, to be extra sure he wasn't late. He grabbed his bag and went to the kitchen to eat, Mildred had already cooked him breakfast. "Thanks mom smells great."

"You have all your stuff right?" She asked. Reist nodded "your clothes? Toothbrush? Bow? " Reist nodded twice, all but inhaling his food. He quickly washed his plate and headed out "be careful, and don't let Rorick kill Fen."

"Bye mom, love you!" Reist said shutting the door smiling. He felt like he shouldn't feel this excited about spending a day with Rorick, but the days following would be amazing. He hurried to the northern end of the Village, quivering with excitement, and a little bit of chill, it was oddly cold for a spring day. It would probably warm up when the sun had a little more time to hit the ground. Grant was standing near the edge of trees waiting on the two leaving. Reist nodded to him, having beat Rorick there, he waited also. The two wolves were silent until the third wolf arrived. He scowled at Reist, angry he had to share the trip with him.

"So what is their gift?" Rorick asked looking to Grant and fingering the sword tied to his waist.

"I decided to send them a map of the forest as we know it, to help out with their settlement." The Clan leader said. Reist nodded. That was a good gift. "Well, now that you are both here, you should leave. It is a day's walk after all." Grant handed over the rolled up map, it was in a carved wooden tube to protect it from the elements. Reist took it, and Rorick began walking swiftly. The white wolf had to run to catch up with him. Rorick shook his head and ignored the younger wolf. They walked in silence for the first hour or so. Then both of the seasoned hunters caught a scent. Reist groaned inwardly; Fen had gotten upwind of them.

"You smell that!?" Rorick whispered. Reist nodded slowly. He was going to have to be careful, he needed to seem like he was into what he knew Rorick was planning, but he needed to ruin it in any way possible "lets hunt him. We can give the dragons two gifts from our clan." he said grinning. Reist frowned when the grey looked away, sniffing the air. He chuckled darkly "this is gonna be fun." The two began tracking Fen; Reist was thinking of ways to stall his bloodthirsty clan mate. They tracked him for the better part of that day, Reist occasionally would "smell him" going turning, therefore sending him and Rorick in wide circles; Rorick not wanting to admit that Reist had smelled something that the grey wolf missed, did not catch on to this charade, allowing Reist to pull it about ten times, giving Fen a good lead. But once the light started to wane, He didn't dare pull it again. He never came north so he was doubtful of his ability to end the circle facing the right way. Fen, not a big traveler, also started to slow down, not wanting to lose his way. Rorick and Reist began gaining ground quickly. Every step closer to Fen they got, Reist felt a bigger ball of dread assault him. As they got closer, Reist started to be able to pick up his mate's faint footfalls.

"Maybe we shouldn't, I think I remember Grant saying something about not starting any fights." Reist tried

"What he doesn't know won't hurt him." Grant said softly. "Now shut up, I don't want him to hear us and run." Reist's mind was racing; he was running out of ideas. He had one more; He purposefully tripped over an exposed root, landed on a dead Branch and yelped out loudly in mock pain. Then he and Rorick heard Fen sprinting away. Reist smiled inwardly; success.

"Oh great I love a chase!" Rorick said laughing and sprinting off after him. Shit. _ Reist jumped up and took off, running after them. _This can't be happening. He thought. He was gaining on Rorick now; But Rorick was gaining on Fen. They could actually see him now, dodging through the trees, his legs and arms pumping as he ran as fast as he could. Then he disappeared behind a wall of bushes. The 2 wolves chasing him were mere seconds behind him, as they burst into the small clearing; Fen was nowhere to be seen. Rorick looked around angrily. "Come out and fight you pussy bitch!" he shouted out. He sniffed the air and looked up. He was in the trees. "Go up and get him, Reist." Rorick ordered. Reist hesitated a moment before starting up the tree. He was looking up when he saw Fen's face peaking over a branch, seeing his mate Fen reached down to help him up.

"What do we do?" he asked, panting from his failed flee attempt.

"Unless you can outrun him to the tribe, then I don't know. We might have to both take him down...." Reist said, the unsaid connotation hung in the air for a second. They would either have to never go home again, or kill him.

"Hey, did you find him yet?" Rorick shouted

"No, maybe he left a false trail?" Reist shouted back "or tree jumped?"

"He didn't have time, we would've heard him, look harder faggot" Rorick retaliated.

"I'll fight him." Fen's whisper was so unexpected that it took the white wolf a moment to process what he said.

"What?? No!" he exclaimed, louder than he meant to

"Quick gets him down here and I'll finish him!" Rorick yelled his voice excited. Reist looked at Fen, scared, the black wolf kissed his mate lightly and then nodded. Then he shouted

"Is that a real fighter I hear?" before dropping down branch by branch, he drew his sword before the last few and then dropped down to the ground, Rorick was on him before he had so much as blinked. There was the clash of metal on metal as Fen barely parried the blow, then a second, then a third. Reist, who had followed Fen down, watched nervously. The grey lunged, swinging his blade at Fen's legs. He jumped back, avoiding and then slashed at Rorick's shoulder. Reist, as nervous as he was could not help but marvel at the difference between the 2 styles. The more brutal of the two, Rorick, was on the constant offense, rarely needing to parry or dodge. Fen only attacked after a parry or dodge, when Rorick was at his most open. If Fen had attacked at even one wrong time, he would've lost in an instant; but the way this was going, they looked very evenly matched, neither one getting a strike on the other. Until Rorick stomped on Fen's foot. Fen fell to the ground yelping, and Rorick stabbed down at him. The black rolled out of the way just in time. Rorick went to yank the sword out of the ground but stuck. He had stabbed a root, and it wasn't giving the blade up. Fen saw his opportunity and deftly swiped at Rorick's hand, he moved it just in time and kicked Fen's sword away, and it slipped from Fen's hand and clattered to the ground a few feet away. Both of them weaponless now, they fell to a vicious wrestling match. Then simultaneously they both shouted

"Reist get me that sword!!" Fen made a face that clearly said Fuck. I got caught up in the moment. Rorick looked between the two of them in surprise. Fen punched him in the face, the grey rolled off of the Black clutching his now bleeding nose.

Fen scrambled to his feet, limping on the stomped foot. Rorick stumbled to his feet, slightly dazed from the punch.

"You 2 know each other?" He said confused "no wait... is THIS who you were coming to see when Rem saw you sneaking out? A Rising Sun?? " Reist didn't need to answer, his face gave him away. Fen tried to use the grey's distraction to punch him again, but Rorick caught the fist and kicked fen to the ground by the stomach. He stepped towards Reist "you fucking little traitorous whore. You've been fucking the enemy. You know what the penalty for that is right?" Rorick didn't wait for the terrified white to answer before saying "death." He chuckled "a Rising Sun and a faggot in one day." Fen struggled to get up, still having trouble breathing from the kick.

"Don't you touch him?" The black snarled, his lip curling back and a growl deep in his throat. He looked feral, his hackles were fluffing out as was his tail fur.

"Or what" Rorick said taking all of this in, this would be fun. Fen didn't answer; he just pounced clawing wildly at the Grey. Rorick punched him in the jaw, and nearly lost his hand into Fen's maw. Fen landed one paw on Rorick's cheek and raked his claws down his cheek, leaving three gashes there. Ignoring this, Rorick grabbed the back of Fen's head and bashed the black's forehead into his knee, then he tossed the barely conscious wolf to the ground, he went for a finishing blow, but Reist pounced on his back howling out

"Nooooooooo!!!!!" the both of them tumbled to the ground, the white managed to land a couple of weak blows, not much of a hand to hand fighter. But then Rorick landed a crushing blow to Reist's chest, making him cough and hack. He had barely done that when Fen was back, he bit down on the grey's shoulder, his teeth tearing through flesh. Rorick yelped and threw the Black off of him. He got up, standing between the opposite colored wolves, unsure who to attack first. The gasping Reist or the growling Fen. Reist was looking at Fen, he had actually gone feral. The wolf clan forefathers had fought back their most animalistic roots to live more civilized. No quite as much as the humans mind you, but they no longer ran around in nude packs, killing anything and everything for food. There were a still a few feral running around, and every now and then a civil wolf would just act go feral, sometimes temporarily, sometimes permanently. The feral wolf did not give the grey any time to decide before rushing at him, he opened his mouth, intending to bite again and jumped at him. Rorick ducked underneath him and jumped towards Reist yanking him up and putting the weak wolf into an easy headlock, he tightened to where it was threatening to snap his neck, Reist was whining, scared. Fen's eyes widened and he stopped mid charge, skidding to a halt on the leaves. The three wolves were panting heavily and the two alphas were glaring at each other, daring him to do something.

"That's enough." Said a fourth female voice. The two heads that could turn did. Reist whined again

"Or what? This is a traitor and that is my sworn enemy!" Rorick said defiantly

"Now you are on my territory, and I say stop it. There will be no quarrels here." The voice said again. Fen was looking between the two, his feral mind not sure what was happening, the cognitive part of his brain remaining just enough to tell him that attacking this new comer would be a bad Idea indeed. Reist let out a third whine, the edges of his vision starting to black, Rorick was starting to choke him.

"Let him go."The voice commanded

"This is only your land because we're letting you borrow it!" Rorick said, then he spit at her. There was a second of silence; she was probably wiping it off, before she said calmly

"Do it FrostFoot". There was a loud clang and Rorick collapsed, taking Reist with him. The white gasped for breath, a pot a few inches from his head. Fen pounced on top of him, shielding the gasping wolf with his body. He growled at the new voice's direction, and Reist could see red scaled feet approaching. "Be at peace wolf, I mean you and your mate no harm." At the word "mate" Fen stopped growling and his hackles lowered slightly. He looked down at Reist's Wide eyes and then back up.

"How do you know?" he asked his voice hoarse.

"We have traveled the world; I know a mated pair when I see one feraltooth"

"Feraltooth?" Fen asked

"Yea, that's your dragon name" said yet another voice, this one from above them. Fen craned to see, but kept his body shielding Reist's.

"Who are you two?" Reist managed out, still trying to stay conscious

"The pleasantries will have to wait, your....friend here will be waking up and he must be jailed." Reist barely heard, losing his battle for awareness, he passed out.

He woke up on a bed. He was dimly aware that he was naked. And Fen was next to him. Reist sat up slowly, the blanket falling away from his chest. He was bruised up a little but nothing permanent. Fen looked over at him

"morning." He said smiling "how do you feel?" Reist yawned

"Still tired" he said. Actually he felt exhausted. He wanted real sleep.

"Yea? Well I gave the dragons your gift. They loved it and said they will be sending a thank you back home with you." Reist nodded and stretched, yawning again.

"You went Feral" HE said suddenly remembering. Fen sat up

"Yea... I was so scared of loosing you... I'm sorry... did it scare you?" he asked, his ears laying flat. Reist tried to remember what he had been feeling. He had felt fear, but not of Fen.

"No... it was amazing.... And kind of hot..." the last part slipped out before Reist could stop it. Fen chuckled slightly

"Glad to know." He said nudging Reist's shoulder with his muzzle.

"So who was the dragon lady?" he asked

"That was the tribe chief and her son." Fen said

"And Rorick spat on her...." Reist said shaking his head. He giggled slightly "moron" The white laid back down and stroked down Fen's black back fur. "Where are our clothes?"

"Being washed" Fen answered lying down next to him. They were on their sides, their lips less than an inch from touching. Reist nodded slowly, falling silent. Fen leaned forward and kissed him lightly

"I love you." He whispered softly. The white smiled and whispered back

"I love you too" he scooted closer and kissed His mate deeply. Fen broke the kiss and said

"Babe you need rest."

"I will I will..." Reist said kissing him again. This time Fen responded, kissing him back. Reist tweaked one of Fen's nipples lightly, making the black shiver. "After a little bit of fun...." He added

"I'm not knotting you tonight. I want it to be special." Fen said

"Jeeze, I swear you care more about that tradition more than I do." Reist said kissing him again and pressing his body up to Fen's. He opened his mouth, inviting his mate's tongue in and there was a complete change in him. Fen's tongue shot through the opening and attacked Reist's. The black grabbed the white's ass and crammed their pelvises together tightly. Reist broke the kiss to gasp out his mate's name. Fen used the freedom of his mouth to bite into the white's neck, not hard enough to hurt, but certainly hard enough to be felt. Reist moaned out and put his paw to the back of fen's head, holding him there. He removed his teeth and licked and sucked the spot; His Member sliding out of its sheath and expanding rapidly. "w-wait, fen, not this much fun" Reist said trying to backpedal the situation. Fen replied by kissing him again, gently, and chuckling.

"I knew you were tired." He clutched the pouting wolf to him and closed his eyes. Reist could still feel the throbbing hard on pressed against his leg. He sighed and closed his eyes. Tomorrow, after they helped with the camp set up. There would be time.
