Chapter 12

Craterday was leading Leaf to some tall grass hills. They had out run the wolves chasing them about three times. The same wolves that they had run from by the Underground Portal Cave. Leaf had asked me many times why we were running when we were all rather skilled. Every time I hadn't told her. I felt that was something for the Assassins to say. Though I was at one point an Assassin I was no longer one so it wasn't my place.
"Where are we going again? I can't feel my paws, I'm hungry, and tired." Leaf was complaining about the trip again too.
" We're going to the Assassins main meeting spot. It's not that far I promise. We need to be there before New Moon." I knew my words weren't helping but I gave up on encouraging her a while ago. I had made her keep moving for about two days. Running when the other wolves caught up we ran a complicated route. "Keep in mind you could've gone with the others. You chose to come with me."
I signaled to a few rabbits in front of us and we got into our hunting crouch. Well she had a different one than me but we had learned to hunt together in a quick way. I chased the rabbits toward her and she got hers, once she pounced some of them turned back in my direction and I got mine.
We sat down to eat not long before we finished and got moving again. I knew we left some of the rabbits left but if I had my bearings right we had another day till we got to a common meeting place. Leaf had grown used to the way I moved and though she still complained she kept up with me. Well kinda, she often lagged behind by three or four tail lengths. Sometimes farther to the point I had to stop and wait. It was annoying but I went through that faze as well as any wolf that travels a lot. Even if you were born into travel you don't start with traveling all day and all night for long periods without wanting to stop to rest, eat, or just clean yourself.
"What's that?" Leaf points out one of the abandoned meeting spots. I hadn't even seen it.
"Nice spotting. That's an abandoned meeting spot. I don't know if the portal still works but we could try." I lead the way to the entrance. It was completely blank and dark. Whatever was in it at one point was taken out. Going to the spot that the portal is normally at. "I wonder," I say the words to open the portal. Sure enough it opened putting the coordinates of the main meeting place we were able to walk through.
Letting Leaf go first I followed and closed it. Everyone there was sleeping, they too must have had a hard maybe not long but hard journey to the places. Dito was sleeping by the weapon making thing, so I went over and woke him. Time here was different from where we were before. About half a day was six days where we were. It made no sense but that's how it worked. Time here moved slower.
"Craterday? Ohh, you guys made it. I thought it would take at least another day." Dito stood up and howled from the High Rock. That place where when it was time for a meeting they stood on it. When they howled it echoed around. The echo woke everyone else up. They looked around confused not knowing why Dito woke them, well till Leaf came up. She went right over to Stem and Coil. Not that I could blame her. Stem was a good friend of hers.
"You were wandering for what three days?" Tinko asked. I knew the Assassins would know the amount of time there and here. It was odd but I knew it when I was training as one of them.
"There about. I must say I was surprised that Leaf hadn't forced me to stop. She was complaining the whole time about going on and not stopping." We were safe here for a time but we had to keep moving and the Assassins had their mission of garding the Underground Portal.
"Well now that we know we're all safe, we can go back to what we were doing before that group interrupted us." Mroto seems to have read my mind and everyone agrees. Two portals open and the Assassins go through the far one to the left. And we went through the far right one.
Going through it we were next to the Underground Portal again and they were most likely where they get new missions or explain what happened and rather to continue or not.
"Where do we go now? We can't kill Lert and Neako without them here." Stem pointed out. Coil looked at me and Leaf shifted her paws.
"Well we could do many things. Continue on, go back, go a bit farther, make camp and train you two to use a sword." Those were what I could think of at the moment. Coil had an idea, Leaf probably wanted to make camp somewhere and train. Stem will do whatever Coil asks unless she's called for some reason or another. Just thinking about what Stems call made me hate the Go Getters more. Why do they have to be called away to the Real World just because they want that wolf to go.
"Well I'd like to learn to use a sword, so I say make camp and learn." Leaf claims. We all looked at her not surprised by that at all. "What? I just want to learn."
Coil nods in agreement so does Stem. "Then it's settled, we'll get a bit from this cave and make camp." I claim.
"I'll lead, besides I know a great spot for a camp." Coil eyes me obviously remembering our disagreement a couple days ago.
"Go ahead." I shrugged and Coil started to lead the way. Leaf stayed by me and Stem was by Coil. I don't know why we always traveled like that but we did.
As we were walking I stopped and looked down, I don't know what it was but even though everything was overgrown I could still see the battle as if it was still happening. I felt myself tense up and my fur rise. My claws came out and I could see the whole battle as it happened. Younger me was fighting a wolf that was much larger. He was black with black eyes. Who I had no idea what his name was. I could barely hear what Leaf, Stem, and Coil were saying.
"What…Come...we…" was all I could make out from most of what they were saying. The battle was right there, could they not see it? Of course not dummy, why could they see it. Two of them have never been here! Coil probably didn't have that much of an effect from it. He hardly knew any of us.
