"WHAT?!" Katrina yelled getting angry. "Dusk tell me what happened and who did it?" Apollo asked, walking up to me.

"Sir, not to be rude but the wolf who did it, Slash, He's to strong... his back is twice the size of both of our packs combined!" Dusk said, Acashia still hugging him.

"So this Slash, how good of a fighter is he?" Katrina and Apollo asked. Dusk got a sick look and said "He took on 7 wolves at the same time, didn't even get a scratch."

Acashia let go of him and starred at Dusk till her dad spoke, "Sounds like we are going to have to distract him while I take him out. Where does his pack stay?" Apollo asked, walking out.

"He and his pack are on the other side of the river, a mile or so after you cross that's their territory" Dusk said, following Apollo. "One more thing Dusk, Acashia, stay here..." Katrina said ,walking down to the pack. Dusk nodded and sat down...

"We need t get 8 of our best fighters." Dusk heard Apollo say. He laid down at the entrance to the den and started to cry, thinking about his dad. Acashia noticed and walked up to him.

"Dusk, it's okay." She said, laying down next to him. "I know, I just can't believe he is dead. Now I have to lead the pack... Acashia, do you think I am ready to do that?" Dusk asked, wiping the tears from his eyes.

She looked at him, smiling weakly and said "I think you're ready! Just one thing, are we really going to stay here while my parents go and kill Slash?" "No, I'm not... I guess that means you are going then?" He asked walking down to follow Apollo and Katrina.

"You better believe I am!" Acashia shouted, wanting to know that the wolf how hurt Dusk, emotionally, would get killed for his actions.

An hour later after the fight...

"Acashia please, you didn't do anything wrong." Dusk said. "I kn-know I didn't, It-It's just I don't want to do anything like that again!" She shouted crying in Dusk shoulder.

Just then the Dark Wolves second in command and walked in with 315's second in command. "What happened? We heard that their was a fight an-" "James, I'll tell you what happened. Just let's go somewhere else." Dusk said. "No you can stay here..." Acashia said, trying to not cry.

Flashback...

We had just gotten to Black Moon's territory, Apollo had already started to fight with Slash. He took a light blow to the head, he exaggerated it and acted like he was knocked out. Katrina when jumped out from behind a bush with 8 other highly trained alphas.

"This will be fun." Slash said, running toward Katrina. while she distracted him, Apollo snuck around to get behind him. Katrina moved the wrong detraction and ended up getting half he face ripped of by Slash. Apollo then tried to jump onto Slash back, just when Apollo was about to attack him, Slash dodged it.

Slash slit Apollos throat, killing him. The other 8 wolves all jumped at Slash, at the same time. "I don't remember what happened to the first six, I was trying to calm Acashia." Dusk said, getting said.

After that it was only the two wolves and Acashia's mom... With her half her face gone and blood soaked the ground below, Katrina launched at Slash knocking him to the ground. She then bit down on his neck, he was just about to die when 3 of his pack members jumped the 2 wolves and Katrina.

The the wolves then killed 315's members, leaving Katrina for Slash. He beat he badly, barely keeping her alive. Just as Slash was about to deal the death-blow everything went black...

"Only Acashia knows what happened next..." Dusk said, while laying down. Acashia sat up and started to hub Dusk back, saying "He was a very brave wolf."

Acashia's POV

"Slash was about to kill my mom when Dusk leaped at him, knocking him out. Now, Dusk had the 3 other wolves jumping at him. With one swing he hit them smashing their skulls in, killing them instantly. Slash was starting to move again... Dusk ran to him and asked "Any last words? No? GOOD!" and he bit down on Slash neck, it cracked as he did so. I have never heard of a wolf doing this but Dusk ended up biting Slash head off!"

"Wow, so our new leader is a very powerful one then!" James said, smiling. "What what about your mom, Acashia?" Asked Andy, 315's second in command.

Acashia started to feel sad again and replied "She died before we could get her to a healer..." "James, Andy, I'm going to get some rest... do you mind coming back later?" Dusk asked "No sir, see you later." They said, walking out.

A few minutes later, Dusk was about to fall asleep when I nudged him. "Hey, you awake?" I asked. "Yeah, what's up?" He asked, siting up. "I just thought about it, I'm the pack leader now... I'm I ready to lead my pack?"

"I think you are but if you ever need any help I'll be here for you." he said smiling. "Thanks you, one other thing. If I'm going to protect my pack I need to learn to fight, could you teach me some stuff?"

"Sure I can, could I get some sleep first?" He asked. "Yeah, I am kinda tired too..." I said, laying down.

Dusk was about to fall asleep again when I cuddled up next to him, he bushed a little and smiled widely. This made me feel a lot better, a few minutes later I fell asleep.

2 hours later, Dusk POV...

I was just waking up, it was about 5pm. I slowly got up and walked to the edge of the den. I saw that my pack and Acashia's had a hunting party forming.

"Hey Dusk, how did you sleep?" Acashia asked, I turned to see her stretching. "I... I... um, I..I.. YOUR BEAUTIFUL!" I shouted, I didn't notice that I had said that till s lightly pushed me.

"Did I just say that?" I asked, getting embarrassed. "Yes, yes you did and don't get embarrassed about it." She said, smiling. I blushed and said "Well I don't know you but I need some water, you comin'?" "Yeah, right behind you."

We walked down to a small creek... I saw something come from my left and before I could move I was pushed into the water, IT WAS FREEZING! "WHAT THE HECK!" I shouted, frantically swimming to the shore.

"I'm sorry, I though it would be funny..." Acashia said. "Well, it wasn't... anyway you seem really happy right now." I said, climbing out of the water. "I don't who why but I do feel a lot better, even though my parents just died."

"Maybe your one of the less emotional wolves, like me?" I said. "It could be, ready to go back to camp?" She asked, walking away. "I guess so..."

I walked up past her, Just before we walked into my den she grabbed me shoulder. "What is it?" I asked turning around. "I just want to tell you thank you for being so nice to me."

I smiled at her, then she leaned forward and kissed me. I didn't expect this but went with it. We both blushed and hoped that no one from the pack would see us. After what seemed like years later she pulled away.

"WOW! THAT WAS SOME THANKS!" I shouted. "Come on, lets just relax for a while... maybe you could tell me some things about how to hunt and fight."

"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea..." I said, laying down watching the packs as they went to go hunt... Acashia laid down next to me, we watched as the sun set over the mountains.

Shortly after that she reached out and grabbed my paw, I think she was almost asleep. Ether way I liked that I could make her happy... I then got the idea to ask her out at some point. This thought filled my head as I slowly drifted off to sleep.

(A/N: Well this one is a little shorter but I'm sick right now... Anyway I hope you liked it and please comment!)
