Prologue: Never to forgive
It's Autumn. The trees have begun to take their places as they fall slowly off their old branches, while they embrace new colors. A sudden wind takes the leaves just as a young pup, and his cub friend, race through the forest laughing. "C'mon Kane, you gotta keep up with me!" The cub called out to her friend. "Shamala, I told you, I can't keep up with a cat like you!" The young cub stared at the pup with her big, bright green eyes The pup began to get caught up with his friend, catching his breath as he goes. The kitten slows to a stop so the young wolf can catch up. "It's so beautiful. Isn't it Kane?" Kane looks in the direction Shamala is facing, confused. "What is it? I don't see anything to look at." The cub closes her eyes, and takes a deep breath. "The world, Kane. Mama always tells me, the world is what you see it as. Me, I see it as a place of opportunity, and discovery." The cub reaches out for the other pup's hand, and slowly, he extends his arm, and takes hold of her hand. "The world is as I see it..." The pup mutters to himself. "What did you say Kane?" The pup hesitated and blushed. "Uh...nothing. I was just talking to my self Shamala gives Kane a curious look. "Oh...what about...?" Kane, embarrassed, simply replies with "About how great a friend you are." The two laughed with each other.
"You, know Kane. You are th-" The cub paused suddenly. "What? What's wrong!? Shamala! What's wrong!" Kane peered over Shamala's shoulder, and saw an arrow, piercing her heart. All he saw was the dark red blood, slowly flowing out of her body. The cub collapsed to her knees. "You are....the best and only..*gasp* friend I have ever had...please...don't ever forget me..don't ever..." The cub stopped breathing, and Kane was crying hysterically. "Shamala no...don't..don't leave." Kane didn't even realize the blood covering his silky white fur and leather clothing.. As Kane was grieving, a hunter in the forest came sprinting through the trees, to find out where the crying came from. As he entered the location where Kane and Shamala were, he noticed the arrow in her back. He also noticed that the arrow was his. The middle-aged jack-rabbit, stared in shock as the saw the young pup in front of him crying, and covered with blood. "Aw shit...." Kane heard the rabbit cuss and looked at him. "Was this you? DID YOU KILL MY ONLY FRIEND!" The hunter looked at him, eyes watering. "Yes. I can't lie. But I swear, I didn't mean too, I would never intentionally kill someone!" Kane stood up, and slowly walked towards the hunter, very aggravated. "Now, settle down, let's go get help." The hunter said nervously. "There is no helping. Not for you." The enraged pup, stares soullessly at the hunter, and lunges at him. Kane tackled the hunter, and bit into his neck, tearing a large piece of flesh and fur off, as well as clawing his face literally tearing it off.
The severely injured jack-rabbit screamed in pain, scaring the bird in the trees away. A few moments later, another person came hurrying down the forest. Carrying a similar appearance to Kane, a silky white fur, with red eyes and black hair. He rushed in and saw Kane tearing an innocent apart. "KANE! Stop it right now!" The pup not hearing. The other more grown up wolf had to race and force Kane off of the hunter. "Shhhh...It's okay Kane." The grown wolf looked at the hunter. He was lying face down in a pool of blood, lifeless. Blood was all over Kane's face, muzzle, and paws. "He..he killed Shamala dad. Now she's gone." Kane's father looked at Shamala's lifeless corpse. He was utterly shocked, and has never seen so much blood. And what was stranger was that Kane didn't even mind it. He figured is was because he is only 5 years old. He wouldn't understand it. "Let's...let's head home. Kane..."
