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

well as Jaz. She's a healer and would be able to help us." Taking a deep breath, she let it out in a sigh, "What's your plan?"
Smirking at how easy it was to get them to listen Yuri stepped forward one baby step, then, explained her plan. Of course in her mind the 'Good and friendly souled' Yuri was screaming to let her take control again. But was easily ignored.

"Well, London is correct. They have low numbers. But in my opinion, you might have more people but all of their fighting skills suck. But that's just me!" She said, pulling her hand up in a defensive stance. "Anyway. So I, Yuri, am from the Eastern Pack I have a power and that could help with your war. But I never said I would do that now did I." She stopped to allow a smirk on her lips, but only briefly before she continued, "The secrets I hold are how to sneak into the camp, there is a hole that only people in wolf form can fit into. No one knows it's there, and I'm not even sure what giant beast could have made it. But that doesn't matter. It's an abandoned borrow so it'll be safe. That whole leads directly outside of the Alpha's den, and if we go at the right time he will be asleep." She stopped to catch her breath, since she had said all of this in just one sitting, she sucked in some more air and went forward. "He will be asleep, as I said. So we will poison him and that will make it look like he had a sickness and he died of natural causes. That way we will not be suspected. The Southern Pack has a ritual where once their Alpha is deceased they will take three days of mourning, they will do nothing but walk in circles around their camp. This includes fasting from water and food. Though since they are in war I think they might make a rain-check on that. But we will blend into their Pack and take on this ritual, but after the three days they all have a huge feast and sleep with full bellies. We will sneak into each of their houses, for they will be deep in sleep after celebrating for several hours. And this is when we slice their throats" And evil grin spread across her face as she imagined it.

"Oh! And one more thing, from now on, call me Ri. I will not answer to any other name." Ri let her gaze lead to London, "Especially 'Psycho'"
I look down at the ground and laughed a little. "Fine, Ri. I won't call you psycho if you don't act it."
Ira narrowed her eyes, "Who would have thought that such a sweet face could hide such blood thirsty thoughts. I think we should observe them first. I know that war has no rules but... we- I'm not looking for a massacre. I want to make the bastard you killed Alpha pay but I don't want to destroy innocents, that would make me as bad as them. We'll sneak in through the hole. But we won't kill the Alpha, yet. We'll gather information and once we find the one who took Alpha from us... well," she smirked slightly, "maybe then I'll let you have 'fun'." Sighing, She stared at Yuri for a while longer. There was definitely something wrong, she just couldn't foot her finger on it. This didn't seem like the girl who had accidentally called her 'Mom'. Then again, what did she really know about the lone wolf? This could be the real Yuri and the one she had got to know was nothing more than an act.
"If its alright with you," Ira turned to Vera, "I'd like to assemble my team and leave at once."
"Ira's right we don't need a massive bloodshed... we only want them to learn their place" Vera growled.
"Very well," Ira nodded, taking this as consent, "London, Yu- I apologize, Ri, please follow me. We'll find Jaz and then leave." Turning, she left the cave without another word. 'Just be safe' Vera sat back down and stared blankly emotionless at the wall. Ri nodded, happy that Ira had actually got her name right. She wasn't going to stand to be thought she was that wimp Yuri. Her name made Ri's blood boil and she was sick that she had to be stuck in this body. 'You do know I'm your power, right?' There was a gasp inside Ri's head and she smirked, 'You can't be my power! Our powers are supposed to be for good and peace!' 'Ha! Then let me explain something to you missy. They kill anyone with this power. They don't care if it's their best friend, brother, sister anything! They slay us! What they don't know is that we travel from body to body, so once they kill one body we just go into another. We can't be destroyed.' There was silence. 'Well then why haven't they killed me?' 'You're an idiot you know that right? Whatever, I'll explain this later, we need to follow Ira.' "Oi!" Ira sighed, "where are 'ya!?" Orias's apprentices lived in smaller caves that branched of his own larger one. Finally, the wrinkled old man hobbled from his sleeping cave.
"What do you want?" he snapped.
"I'm looking for Jaz," she glanced around, "I want her for my infiltration team, stocked up with medical supplies."
Grumbling and complaining, he hobbled away to relay the message. About ten minutes later, an eleven year-old girl with a large shoulder bag scurried up to her.
"Miss Ira!" she squeaked.
Ira smirked at her, "You're our best battle medic so you're coming with. The others are nearby." Leading her outside, she quickly found the others.
"Well," she grinned at them, shifting into wolf, "let's get going!"
London laughs and says, "She's the best battle medic? I feel bad for the others," changing into wolf form. "Ignore her," Ira told Jaz, "She's new. She doesn't know about you so don't worry."
"Oh yes, ignore the big bad wolf, stupid Little Red Riding Hood," London laughed. Glancing at London, she sighed, "What are you talking about? Who's Little Red hood, or whatever? Never mind. All I was saying is that Jaz has been trained since she was a baby. I dare say she knows a hell of a lot more than you do. Be grateful when she's saving your life." Jaz was smaller than even Yuri, with light grey fur and delicate features. There was a slight darkening to her fur where the bag was on her human self. Aris noticed the little group assembling. "Hey can I join?" she asked the new deputy
"So... Ri," Ira looked at the blue haired wolf, "where is this hole?"
Ri ran after the rest of the group but stopped once she heard a voice call, "Hey can I join?" Sighing because she knew she had to have a semi nice soul if she was ever going to pull off that she was at least a little like Yuri she turned back into a human and went to the girl.

"Hey! Ira! We have someone wanting to join!" Ri screamed, hoping that Ira would hear her. She turned back to the girl and put on a fake smile, "What your name? I'm Yuri, but call me Ri." She said putting her hand out for the girl to grab. That's when Yuri started fighting back, Ri winced, 'You're strong for such an idiot.' Ri thought, trying to keep a normal face on with the pain. But Yuri broke through.

"Sorry, just call me Yuri, I hated the nickname Ri." She smiled. One because this girl was really cute and seemed nice, and also because she had complete control. For now. "I'm sure Ira will let you join."
Aris smiled. "okay"
"Yeah!" Ira yelled back, "the more the merrier! Now get your butt here so you can lead the way!"
Sighing because Ira didn't come back, but quickly shrugged it off, Yuri looked back to the girl. "Well looks like you're in!" She laughed and turned back into wolf, "Well come on!" She said and followed Ira's order to get caught up. Feeling the wind in her fur made her sigh, happily because she noticed how great it was to be her. I snapped at Jaz again because she got too close but my attention was caught by all the yelling. "Hey, can't we just get there and be done with it already," I exclaimed, snapping a Jaz. "Learn your manners, little one."
"I have learnt manners," she told the older wolf, the one Miss Ira called London, "I've been taught that I should respect my superiors but I don't see you as my superior. You're still a new comer." With that she scampered off to Ira and pressed herself close. Ira would've raised an eyebrow if she were in human form, but she said nothing. Instead she turned to the other new person. Ri, or Yuri or something, Jaz wasn't quite sure.
"Well," Ira directed the blue haired wolf, "lead the way."
London growled at Jaz. "I have learned manners. I've learned to respect my superiors but I don't see you as a superior," she mimicked.
"You know you really shouldn't be like that to her. She's just a young one." Yuri said to London as she ran beside her. "She is right though, she has probably learned manners at a very young age. Especially to higher ranks, but you are a new comer. So she sees you as someone lower then she." Yuri tried to explain, but then started to back off cause she was afraid of what London would say. So she ran up to be by Ira's side.

"This way, follow me!" She yelled and ran in front of them all to show them where the hole was. That wolf was fast! Ira bounded through the trees, racing after that glimmering blue fur. The woods were deep and extensive, till finally they reached a large circular hole cut deep into the granite rock. It was dark and long.
Taking a deep breath, Ira bounded through. London followed close behind and laughed when she saw Ira panting for breath. "Couldn't keep up, eh? Well you're little princess back there did better than you," I said and trotted up to Yuri. "And by the way I never said I was joining, just that I would help."
Let me back out!' Ri screamed and Yuri did her best to ignore her. She watched as Ira ran into the hole, and trying to stop her let her guard down and Ri got back their body.

"Stop!" Ri yelled, but her voice was hushed. She watched, waiting for Ira to come back out. 'That idiot!' She thought, she wouldn't care if Ira kept going, but that would mean this whole trip was a waist and she would have gone through all that running for nothing. It took her a little while to realize that the others weren't following her. But by that time the end was in sight. She came out in a large spacious cave. It was well lit by candles. There was a large fancy bed in one corner, rugs on the floor and a chest at the foot of the bed. There was no one there.
Frowning, she looked around, I thought that... Her eyes widened as she realized her mistake, I didn't wait till they were asleep! Such a stupid mistake!
At that moment she heard footsteps coming toward the cave and a shadow flickered on the wall. She made a dash towards the hole (which was hidden behind a large hanging). But a pair of hands closed around her waist.
"Hello again," a voice whispered in her ear.
