Chapter 3

"Run!!! Craterday! Just run!" A common looking wolf with golden eyes yelled to a dark brown wolf with a black and red eye. His left one black and his right one red. Craterday had a sword in his paw and was on his hind paws. His sword has small drops of blood on it.
"Only because you're my friend will I leave. '' Craterday put the sword away and it instantly turned invisible. He runs after his friend and easily pases him. "Come on Coil. You're starting to fall back and they're still chasing us!" I turn to see my friend run and jump a decently sized cliff. I followed and easley jumped it as well. When we turned around the other wolves were stuck knowing they couldn't make that jump. "They are nothing much more than cowards! Those were some of the easiest pack wolves with swords I've ever fought!"
"This may be fun for you but we promised Con we'd be back before Stem gets back. We probably don't have much time." Coil starts to walk away before I have to correct him.
"You mean you promised him not we. I wouldn't have made that promise! But I'll go back. It's only like I extremely hate Con and a couple others there! You were the one trained to be a Go Getter not me. So you may be ok with it but not me. Their rules are too simple for me. To free. I hate it!"
"And I thought you liked free." Coil rolls his eyes at me. Though Coil was slightly bigger then Craterday he wasn't the best of fighters. He was always one step too late in a battle and never allowed Craterday to kill or injure the enemies.
"I love the freedom I have no rules. Well unless we're fighting in Sword County, then we have to follow rules but otherwise not really. Their rules are simple don't injure unless you have to don't fight one another with your claws out you have to keep them in. All dumb stuff. They don't know how to live. I mean they do but they can't have fun!" Craterdays definition of fun was injuring wolves. In some senses he's a psycho. But he's clever and smart. If Coil tells him to do something he'll most likely do it. Coil and a few others were probably the only reason that some wolves are still alive. Craterday was hard to control. He often went completely psychotic and would try to kill them. All they had to do was pin him or draw their swords to remind him where he was. So he tries to do what they say. They were the only reason that he's probably not dead as well.
"Whatever. We have a six day journey in front of us so you mind not trying to get all psycho. " Craterday looked down knowing he couldn't help it if he tried. Coil too knew if I happened it wasn't his friends fault.
When Craterday was a Tyro he got in a fight with some outsiders from their pack. The pack was already dying and one more loss in a fight the pack would no longer be full. During that fight he got in the way of a spell meant for their leader. He jumped in the way on purpose knowing he had to save his alpha. Sense then that spell was outlawed. If it was used wolves from the dead would hunt them down and kill them slowly. In their death they would serve the dead like slaves. It was a great letdown within a family. That family would be an outcast and possibly killed. No one used it in fear of breaking the family honor.
"There's no promises but I'll try." I sighed as I remembered what happened that day. The pack still lost and was broken. His friends; now the ones who could stop him; were the only ones that they knew of that made it out alive. Most likely others did but no one mentioned that they were from that pack. "I wish there was a countercurse for the spell that hit me. I know we tried almost everything but a curse must have a countercurse."
Coil shook his head knowing that Craterday often talked to himself aloud when thinking of ways to stop it. "Didn't you say at one point you know a shortcut back up to where they train Go Getters?" Both of us knew that Coil was trying to get me to stop thinking about the spell. But I did know a fast way up.
"Follow me. We just have to move fast." Craterday leads the way at a full run. They started up a mountain and right into a very dark cave. Coil had to practically hold on to Craterdays tail so he didn't get lost.
"Well it's a good thing you like half demon. I mean like you can see in complete darkness where I can't even see my muzzle in front of me." Coil easley saw that he made a mistake by saying that but he did a nice job somewhat covering it up. Enough that Craterday didn't say anything to him about it.
"We're out. That probably just cut out what three days?"
"Well only because we're skilled in moving In weird places and can stay long periods of time without sleeping at all." Craterday rolled his eyes. "I know I know. Sorry."

"Coil and Craterday are back! Tell Con! He wanted us to as soon as we spotted them!" A look out wolf claimed. Great as if I wanted to see them anyway he wants to know when we arrive. One of these times I'm going to claw him. I mean they'll all know we're here some way or another but yelling that were here is a bit stupid. Con comes out of his cave looking very cocky like normal. Many other wolves came in, some Craterday recognized, others were new. All depends on how long they've been training there.
"Welcome back Coil! Great to see you tried to keep your promise! A bit later then Stem though. Can't blame you. That psycho behind you must slow you down." Con looks at Craterday expecting him to do something. Rather it was talk back or attack.
" Great to see you too." Craterday growled at Con. Obviously wanting to try to hurt him.
"Craterday can you stay out here and possibly see if you can make some wolves not your enemy while me and Con talk in his cave?" Coil knowing that it would be better if Craterday wasn't stuck in a contained area with Con.
"Sure. As long as HE stays away from me." At that Coil and Con go to his cave and I'm stuck outside with some wolves who I know hate me and others who know nothing about me. And how am I not to not walk away or go somewhere quiet!
I was not expecting anyone to come next to me but this gray she wolf had the courage to come to me.
"Hi, my name's Leaf. What's yours?" Leaf calmly walked up to Craterday not knowing why everyone didn't. Stem comes over as well.
"My name's Craterday. By the way, only Stem came over with you. Is she your teacher?" I eye Stem closely wondering if she'll tell Leaf not to speak with me.
"Yes I'm her teacher Craterday. Now Leaf comes, we have things to do." Leaf obediently follows Stem. Looking back once to see Craterday pull out his weapon to clean it.
Cleaning a sword was just as dangerous as fighting with one. You clean it the same way you clean yourself; with the tongue; it can slide in your paws as your cleaning so it can cut you anywhere on your body or you can cut your tongue with the blade. As Craterday was cleaning his slightly bloody sword many were giving him looks and trying to avoid him. Good at least I don't have to fight anyone because they say something and it sets me off.
"Well, well, well, look who's come back with his friend. Can't leave his side or you'll go mad!" A brown wolf with common golden eyes says loud enough for everyone to hear.
Growling Craterday stands up to face him. " Nero you know why I can't leave his side. Now get out of here." Once again Craterdays weapon was in it's holder so no one could see it.
"Ooh I see the smallest wolf here thinks he can stand up to me! If Con wasn't the leader you'd have been dead long ago." Nero gets closer to Craterdays face growling as well. As he was merely a tail width away he pretended to bite at me. Of course, Craterday flinches back out of instinct. "Ok so now you can't even hold your ground!" Nero goes to claw at Craterday before I draw my sword. Nero in turn grabs his as well. Though Nero knew he wasn't as good as Craterday he started the fight and he planned on finishing it.
