Things Change and So Do People (Chapter 7)

The soundless breaths of the two dreamers didn't seem to interfere with the morning's preperations, rather than the other way around. Footsteps, thoughts,awakenings,interuptions. Awake, Jesse stumbled to her feet. A trace of footprints were observed through the sleeping area. Noises...Jesse had heard them.
"Human!"
"Two-leg!" Insulted, Jesse retorted,"Who are you?!"

"We know who you are. We know what you think and we know what you did." The deep voice from the shadows was revealed, it's beholder. A muscular,black furred wolf along with a pack. He was the alpha. "And running away from daddy wasn't such a good idea."

"Why are you here?"
"We want our pack member back and you back at your twoleg place!" the wolf snarled.
"T-T-Tarrzar?"
"Up, Tarrzar!"
Tarrzar's eyes shot open. Once the scene was placed he pounced onto his paws.
"Starch, get out. No one needs, or wants, trouble. Leave us and go."
"Not so fast. The girl is not welcome here, you know that. The pack rule is no human contact."
"That's why you kicked me out!" he barked, leaping onto the pack leader.

Darkness in a soul starts small,light...still able to fight it. It's easy to see darkness in someone's eyes, the evil. That's the darkness Jesse saw through Starch, strong and indestructable.
Claws slashed about, paw connecting to face. Blood stained the forest floor. Jesse wanted to end the quarrel, the endless growling, ringing in the ears.
Taking action, she leapt onto Tarrzar's back.

"Stop!"
"I won't let them hurt you!" he growled, pouncing at his victim.
"Well, I won't let you kill yourself for me!"

The inner killer softened, faded to nothing. It was okay...for now. Tarrzar's muscles loosened in defeat.

"I'm done here."

Jesse tugged the blood stained coat and together they limped away from the tribe...and near death.
