War is Upon Us - Silver Sky (best classic books .TXT) 📗

Alpha of the Southern Pack" she smirked. London's smiles remains as she says, "And how, exactly, do we earn it? Do we clean your fur with a hose?" Silver glanced at London with an annoyed look. "Don't get arrogant!" she snarled and pinned London. "Show respect when you talk to an Alpha!" This arrogant pup! She thinks she owns the world!. "I will decide how to earn it I don't like loner and you better learn to hold your tounge unless you want to die" she snapped. "You still did not answer my question... or did you forget," London asked. Silver tries to push the wolf off of London but fails miserably. "I will decide when my deputy come back to camp..." she growled and let London go. "Follow me" she started back to camp. "I will have to watch you until I find the proper guard" she snorted. They don't even know how to fight. They aren't really any help. Silver follows immediately while London hesitates for a moment. They follow the wolf. "What's your name," Silver asks. "I'm Silver and the grouchy one is London."
"I am Vera, as you know I am the alpha. And when you enter camp I suggest you keep quite with this war going on my pack is very edgy" she said changing to human form. "Do either of you know how to fight?"
London and Silver both look hurt and their mouths fall open. "Of course we know how to fight! And, believe me, you're not the first Alpha we've come upon who has wanted to know. Haha, what do you think we are? Runts," London says.
Vera whipped around. "And that's another thing learn respect pup!" she snapped. "I am a little lets say... different from most alpha's and the way you tried to get me off you didn't really have any affect I wasn't really using any strength." she snarled and walked into camp. "You will be sleeping in one of the empty dens choose one to share" Vera pointed at the dens.
London and Silver check out each dens to find one that is empty, then they choose one on the far right and say, "This one." A few moments later they spot another person and ask, "Who is that?" loud enough for the other person to hear.

Ira had been told to stay very quiet and sit in a corner while Orias completed his examination. Scowling, she was hunched up against the cave wall listening to what was happening outside. There had been a commotion but Orias had forbidden her to go and look.
"This is your charge," he had told her grumpily, "I don't want to be left responsible." His words sounded harsh but she had known him too long to be fooled. Orias cared dearly for his pack and refused to let anyone who entered his cave become involved in a fight.
From what she could glean by listening, it appeared two loner wolves had crossed into the pack territory, looking for refuge and run into Vera. Ira had to feel sorry for them.
"Well," Orias sighed, "she's not injured. She fainted. From what I can gather it appears she was put through a great deal of stress and her mind couldn't handle it. I'll bring her round and then I suggest you get her to talk about it. It'll mean she can start accepting it." Without waiting for an answer, he took a selection of herbs, bound them into a tight bundle and lit them. Wafting the smoke under Yuri's nose, he waited for the scents to wake her up. The smell of herbs, stinging needle, lavender and something else came into Yuri's nose. It smell wonderful making everything else blurry as she woke up. She pulled herself onto her elbows and looked around. Some old guy hovered over her and she let a squeak escape her lips from being startled. She turned and saw Ira.
"What happened? Where am I" Yuri asked Ira, getting up from whatever she had been laying on. "My headaches gone, I assume thanks to you." She said gesturing to the old man that had been sitting above her until she sat up. Hearing some yelling, or something, outside she turned to see out the cave.

"Thank you sir." Yuri said, getting up and bowing slightly, then ran outside.
"Hang on!" but it was too late. Sighing, she chased after Yuri.
"Hey!" that girl was fast, racing out of the cave she stared around. No one in sight. Growling, she looked into the caves as she past. Suddenly, she came across two strangers crouched in one of the abandoned dens.
"Who is that?" asked one of them asked. Sighing, she shook her head, there were far too many new people coming into this pack.
"My name's Ira, I'm the deputy," she glanced around, "have you seen a blue haired girl running around? She's a little younger than me and smaller. It's really important I find her."
London and Silver glanced at each other. Was she crazy? Blue hair? Crazy, I tell ya, crazy. "No, sorry we haven't. We're London and Silver, Rogues," London said, eyeing the person in front of them with curiosity and wonder. Sighing in annoyance, she straitened up, "Yeah nice whatever, listen I gotta- Hang on," she frowned at them, "does Ver- sorry Alpha know you're here?" Thinking a bit more she sighed, "let me guess, you're the ones that caused that racket earlier. We're in a bit of a fix at the moment, so I suggest you don't cause trouble."
London laughs at Ira. "Not cause trouble?? Why would we ever do such a thing," she said, looking innocent.
"I din't say run around camp" she growled at the two. "Oh Ira..." she mumbled pausing then looking aback at Silver and London. "Get in a den and stay" she growled. London and Silver look at each other. "We never left for your information," London said. Silver lets out a small laugh and looks at the ground afterwards. "Well why are you here and not in a den." she growled. "Um, we are, Ira found us in the den," Silver said. Are they just stupid??!! London's thought made her smile. "can't you tell the difference between an normal den and a healers den!" she snarled. "Just go!" she pointed to an empty sleeping den beside the camp entrance. "It was an empty den, jeez," Silver says while "accidently" bumping into Vera. London followed close behind but wasn't so subtle about bumping into Vera. "Jeez, watch where you're going," London growled.
Vera just growled under her breath. London and Silver go into the den and immediately starts decorating. When they're done the den is covered in leaves, twigs, and a small pink blanket taken out from Silver's sack. "Looks like we still don't get food, water, or another blanket. Sorry, I will find a way to support us, Silver," London said. Vera walked back to her den and leaned against the wall. She closed her eyes. "It's al my fault you shouldn't be dead alpha... I should" a tear ran down her cheek but she quickly wiped it away.London was standing right outside, about to ask for a blanket, and clears her throat. Vera saw London. 'Will she ever leave me alone!' She sighed. "So what happened," London asked. "I'll tell you my secret if you tell me yours." All barriers were down and London was being her normal self and not the one worrying about her sister. "Why should I tell you it won't matter" she snapped but couldn't really yell right now on the verge of crying. "Look, I'm trying to be nice and don't say its nothing! I see the tears," she said. Vera sighed. "Lets just say I have made some bad choices before" she looked away. "We all make mistakes, and you still didn't tell me your secret," I say with a swish of my hair, slowly walking into her den. She sighed and wiped away more tears. "Ira is my daughter..." she whispered. "And..." Tears rained down. "Her father.. is..." she choked out the words. "I see... do you want to know mine," London asked. "Sure..." she shook away tears and brushed her hair out of her face. I let out a small sigh and said, "Silver and I.. we... um... are hybrids."
"What" Vera growled.
"Well you know... hybrids..." London murmured
"So what else are you" Vera blinked.
London cleared her throat and said, "Vampires."
Vera's eyes widened. "Vamp blood, have you ever attack someone" she jumped to her feet. "Only once..." My eyes fall to the ground. "It was Silver. She was young and she didn't know better. She.. she killed our parents..."
Vera sighed. "Do you know how to control yourselves now..." she growled. "Yes. That's why I have her with me twenty-four/seven." London gets up and stretches. "Goodnight, talk to you tomorrow." I walked over to our den and fell asleep next to Silver. Ir and heard Vera's and London's conversation. All thoughts about finding Yuri had fled. 'Ira is mu daughter.' Vera's voice rang in No. That was... impossible. Her parents had abandoned her and she had been taken in by the Pack. That was what everyone had told her. That's what Alpha had told her. Had he known, had he lied? The thought was unbearable.
Shaking, she watched the new wolf, London, leave. Then she slowly walked around the corner and stood facing Vera.
"What-" she whispered, "what do you mean?"
Vera froze. Ira had heard her. "Ira I-I..." she bit her lip. How was supposed to tell her own daughter that that pack lied about her being abandoned that she was her mother and wasn't able to keep her. "Explain," Ira hissed, "what are you talking about?" she suddenly started screaming, "you're not my mother! You're not! Alpha would have told me! Alpha would never had lied to me! He wouldn't!" Tears began leaking from her eyes, "Don't you dare say stuff like that! Don't you dare!"

Splashing through the pond, searching. Yuri knew what she was searching for but at the same time didn't and the whole time wishing that she wouldn't find it. But alas Yuri's foot hit something and when she looked down it was a nose. She dived down and started to wipe away the mud, the water making it slightly harder. That's when it revealed a face. She gasped, and the water came into her mouth and she almost choked but she same up and got air. She staggered out of the water. Tears coming back to her eyes. I-I couldn't h-have done that, could I? Yuri thought as she recognized the man in the pond as the one wanting to fight Ira earlier that evening. London was walking through the forest when she heard the splashing. Goddamn these people! She trampled her way through the forest until she saw someone with blue - BLUE?!- hair. Guess she wasn't crazy... "Excuse me" she said.
Yuri's head shot up from her hands at the voice. She stared at the girl who stood before her, and in her side vision she saw that the mud had covered up the body again. Thank goodness. No one would find it unless they were purposefully looking for it. No one would care if that guy was gone, from the looks of it earlier no one really liked him. "I-I.." Yuri stammered, but was at a loss for words. That's when she used her speed and headed back to the pack camp, switching to wolf form in the middle of sprinting that way she'd go faster. 'I need to find Ira.' She thought and followed her nose. London watched the girl speed away and soon wondered what she was looking at so she walked into the water and tripped over... a... a body?!
