Chapter 5 (The unknown pack's hunter)

◕Slowly he opened his eyes opened as light shore in from a gap, he could not feel his body but he managed to push the ice off his face and take deep breaths, I   , getting up and shaking the snow of his pelt he felt like being frosted in a cold iceberg for years “burr…” he shivered. Nora was now on the look for his friends he scanned his gaze around him for his friend “Cleo! Rex!” taking a pause “Where are you guys!” shouting in a roar, then hearing some footsteps in snow, he turned around to see his friends “GUYS!” but next to them he saw a dark floating figure with the red blood flaming eyes. Nora halted in fear giving faint growls as the shadow stomped forward “w-what are you…” whispered Nora, the shadow unleashed four huge blade like claws on each dark misty foot “your death” its voice was like the thousand fears of screaming souls and it leaped high and stinking the claws into Nora’s chest.

Nora jumped awake as he realized it was a night mare, seeing his friends Cleo and Rex in front of him “guys! Your-b-but-” “relax Nora” cut in Cleo with her soft tone “you must have gotten a cold or something” she said “She’s right” added in Rex “and great news no sighs till now, that means we don’t have to hush off to journey” he said while sitting beside Cleo. The pack had eaten a wild pig which was enough to give them energy for a long walk, Nora padded up to Rex “Rex have tell you something…”  “What is it Nora?” Rex asked, Nora sat down and said “do know anything about dream signs?” “I am afraid not” as he sat next to him “why what is the dream about?” Rex asked “well… this morning I had a dream that I woke up and could not find you guys after snow storm” Nora gave a pause “but then I heard footsteps and when I turned back I saw you two but next to you a shadow with bloody red eyes” Rex gave a nod “I asked who he was and it said your death and it jumped up and then it was a blackout” he finished with great detail “A evil sprite” Rex said “A what?” Nora asked “never mind that we have to move now we don’t what to be stuck in this snow land forever” Rex got up and padded off without looking back to Nora.

The pack was off for a long time now and they passed the snow filled land now they were on bare land now they could see a forest up ahead which meant a lot of food. “I smell scents” said Rex “Of what Rex? All I smell is the forest” asked Cleo “Sabers…” Rex said in a cold voice “be sharp” he said and started walking faster.

Nora and Cleo where gone around the forest to get food while Rex collected things to make camp, the two scented a deer and where on the hunt for it “here Cleo” Nora pointed between two trees, Cleo nodded and followed Nora “waits Nora” Nora halted hearing her “what is it?” he asked “I-I smell something…” Nora sniffed the air to check what she was saying “BLOOD!” Nora said look at her.

Nora and Cleo stayed side by side covering each other’s backs as they went tracking the scent of blood Cleo halted “look blood drops!” Nora went to check them “Deer blood… there is a predator out here other than us” he claimed suddenly a bush behind Cleo rumbled “BEHIND YOU CLEO!” Nora shouted and rushed over to her side unleashing his claws he jumped at the bush not knowing what it was he went sinking his claws in fur. A furious growl of pain came when Nora opened his eyes he had clawed down a saber tooth “ugh l-let g-go off me!” he cried, Nora letting go and growled “Who are you and what are you doing here” he also noticed the dead deer beside him, the young saber tooth who was about the age of Nora got up and said “ha-ha who am I!” in a growl “WHO ARE YOU SNIFFING AROUND MY PACK!” he unleashed his claws and pinned Nora down and was about bit him when Cleo jumped on him taking him down “Cleo get back!” Nora warned, Cleo left him and came back next to Nora’s side “look we mean no trouble we’re just looking for food our pack-” “oh so that means steal from other packs and feed our own” cut in the saber “We don’t have a pack” Cleo said “It died under a arch just three of us made it out” she spoke “ok fine where is your last friend?” he asked now in a normal tone “out making camp…” said Nora “CAMP! WHERE?!” he asked “The front of the forest Cleo said “OK look how much I hate to help you but your friend is gone get killed by the patrol!”

Cleo, Nora and the other saber where rushing through the forest to the front “BY THE WAY WHATS YOUR NAME?” asked Nora while running “jay… and I know ours from the fight” he said while running. They all halted “hurry find him! ” Nora shouted, all three went a different direction meanwhile Rex padded into the clear ground with materials in his mouth as soon as saw his friends “Whap Arp youp guysp boing?” he said with a mouth full, they three turned their gaze towards him “REX!” shout Cleo and Nora, Rex dropped the stuff “hey guys catch anything-” he saw jay Rex let out a growl “who are you!”  he stepped forward “Rex wait he is a friend!” Nora said pulling him back “he told us if did not find you his pack would have killed you!” “WHAT! WHICH PACK!” he shouted “Rex relax we will tell everything” Cleo padded up to him next to Nora.

After telling everything to Rex they had a meal, jay helped them out catching it but Rex temper was not down yet when jay offered them to come his pack and Cleo and Nora said yes “NO I will NOT come” he growled “Rex this is faith! This why we came to the north!  To find the north pack and make a new start” Nora spoke “NO! Nora this not why!” Rex spoke with anger “Rex Nora is right! This is our last hope! And jay is giving it to us” Cleo said “No if you guys want to go then go! You have no pride left for your pack! I would rather die!” Rex growled and flicked a rock with one swipe of his paw and it hit the tree and then Rex ran away with looking back and his friends called out to him, jay padded up to them “Don’t worry he will be back I am sure you guys take a rest tomorrow I will greet you to the pack”. Both Nora and Cleo nodding “fine I sure he will be back” they both went lie down “I hope so” whispered Cleo “your right” replied Nora with his head on one paw his eyes started to drop the leads “please come back Rex…” Nora gave the last whisper and his eyes closed he knew that his faith had been set but did not know what was laid in front.
