A purpose, or a drift

The sound of rain started to get louder, as the pack laid on the cold hard rock floor, next to their mates, sides touching, sharing each others warmth; all but one wolf did this. The one was called Era, short for Era'kanath. He never had a mate, and never looked for one, knowing it was pointless, since all of the females were taken, that were in the armada territory. He would of been alpha of the pack if he hadnt of lost the last dual. Even though he was the 2nd strongest in the pack.

So far they only ran into human's once, but no trouble came with it.The rain stopped, and a gayle of fresh warm air rushed through the cave.Half of the pack left to get food,since theve hadnt eaten for several days.

It was late in the afternoon, a few more hours, and it would be pitch black, illumenated by the full moon, surrounded by small white dots, along with a few dancing stars.Only one wolf came back, panting, as if he was running for days, if not weeks. He was covered with a few bloches of blood that staind his light brown fur. All the females were asleep, either dreaming about their mates, or there pups that they would soon have.Era walked over to him; Where are all the other's, and Wat The Hell happend to you!?. It was rare to have blood on their fur. If they did have blood on them, it would sybolize their weakness, and fear, it was a way of the armada pack.

Their all dead!, killed by the humans, i tryd to fight, but one of them hit me with a gun, and-

He was cut of by era's right paw, resting on his muzzel.Calm down, youll wake every one up...; Where's kainite? he asked with a worried expression / (the leader of the pack).

Im afraid she was the one killed first; the humans saw that she was the strongest, so they killed her first. Thinking that we would be an easy target with out our leaders courage.

One female was awake, trying to get as much information before asking them if her mate was still alive. But nothing was said that she wanted to hear.She then whent back to sleep, hoping that she would see her mate when she wakes up.

Meanwhile, the two last males of the armada pack whent searching for any survivers, that could of lived the shooting. But the only thing they saw were dead bodies, with deep holes, covered with blood that consumed them.

The next morning they arrived back at the den, with pale faces, that were saturated in tears. But it only got worse. MUCH WORSE. All the females that were last seen sleeping peacfully, were now dead. Gased to death, not knowing wat hit them.

Just as another tear, mixed with an endless amount of anger came. A lound bang was made. He looked to his side, but only to see a hole, oozing with blood, between his brother's eyes. fllowed by his body falling to the cold snow.

Everything melted within 10 feet from Era'Kanath; Literly.

Fire surrounded Era, melting the snow around him, making his heated body sink to metres until he hit solid rock, that slowly began to glow an orange colour from the heat that was pouring off him. The water that formed from the melting snow evapourated immediantly. Another bang was heard, but the metal object that headed his way was incinarated, only getting within a few metres from Era's flaming body. Within micro-seconds the remaining snow and water, was shot up into the air, as an explossion.

One second he was just out side the cave. A micro-second later he was right infront of the shooter, teeth bare, eye's glowing red, fllowed by dark purpal pupils, almost back; that were staring straight into the hunters eye's, filling the human with nothing but pure fear.

The hunter cryed out in pain as his skin was melted in seconds, wich to him, felt like hour's. His flesh was only showing now, turning from brown to black, then to nothing. His bones then blown away like a thousand year old clay statue, being hit by the blade of a shockwave from an, high yeild nuclear explosion.

Everthing within a 5mile radius either was evapourated, or split by the blade of the shockwave.The dead bodies within the cave, and out side of it, were gone. The only thing that was alive within a 6mile radius was the wolf blazing with anger, and regret.

The fire disapeared, and Era stood there, blaming himself for not protecting the pack. Am i not strong enough?!..., Have i not got the responcability to care for other's?!... ; Do i even have a purpose?!...

He started to walk, and have been for hour's non stop, hoping to get as far away as possible. A snow storm was forming a few hundred km/s from his position. He would of past adleast five, pack territories by now, without being noticed.

He collpasped under a tree, giving minimal shelter from the snow that started to fall. Summoning all his energy that was left, he curled up, trying to keep warm. And immediantly drifted off to sleep, hoping that when he wakes up, the pack would be alive, including his brother that died before his eye's.

In his dream, a wolf appeared. It was dark in the background, but the wolf was visable, since there was a light blue-ish light behind the wolf. The wolf seemed to of been female. And one that stood, with prid, looking at Era. A few words came from her open muzzel; Are you.. ok?, the rest was lost in a fading matter.

Era couldnt open his mouth to reply, he felt so weak. Finelly, summoning the energy that was left, he said; Lust leave me to die.., Please...

No!, i will not let you die!, you will live!, just as i gave life to you. Then he realized it was Kainite, his mother, that was speaking. His eye's widend after realizing.

You will have a good life, for wat youv been through, you shall live, and feel emotions, feeling's that youv never felt before. The voice faded away, as a bright light from behind her consumed her, and over took his vision. A tear fell from his eye, as he turned to reality. Then another voice, was heard, but this one was more soft, and filled with calming patterns. Also filled with sadness, and purpose.
