Chapter 7

Hidden fears in the wait of time

 

 

 

 

 

     I started off into Bruce’s direction. I was going to stalk him and see what he did and if I could find any useful information about him or this plan he had.

     He strode around with me secretly around the entire time. He finally stopped and rested down in a small open clearing. I stood back, hidden in shrouds of bushes and trees from his sight. I watched awhile, but he did nothing of interest.

     I suddenly felt a paw on my tail and let out a surprised yelp as I quick turned around. “Shhh!!! Otherwise he’ll know were here!” a familiar voice whispered to me. It was Spirit! She must have noticed me missing and tracked me down. “I have the feeling too…..” she said as she gazed into my eyes. She read my thoughts that way. At least I wouldn’t have to explain myself.

     We stared his way and watched his unexciting rest until something happened. He jumped a little when his phone rang again in his left jean pocket. He turned sideways to reach in his pocket and pulled out a thick, black, beat-up phone. “Yo,” he started as an answer. Kind of an odd way to answer someone unless you already knew who it would be.

     “It’s all done? Every bit? And you got everything right? Nothings missing? Good! I see a promotion for you bro! Yes, tomorrow. Don’t be late. Noon exactly when there are no shadows to hide in. Good, gotcha. Alright, bye.” he finished. He hung up and placed the phone back in his pocket.

     What was that about? No shadows to hide in? It was not sounding good. Spirit and I were both in wolf form and were off in a mid run. “You guys! You guys!” Spirit yelled as she slid to a halt in the den. “Something is happening! Its about…..” “Bruce.” Nikita interrupted in a low wisp of a voice.  All heads turned from Spirit to the head down Nikita. “But…..” Spirit said. “How did I know?” Nikita finished for her, “ Shadow and I figured it out. Bruce is not of good. He is most of a pretender, a fake, just a deceiver to us. He is planning something evil and will be relentless to get what he desires.” she finished.

     “High noon,” I said, “high noon they shall come, yet we know not for what still.” “Our tails could be on the line here. What should we do?” Zorah said. “Maybe we should hide from them.” Topaz said. “With all the items he is getting them to bring? I’m pretty sure he will be able to find and get this of what he wants. It would do no good to hide.” Kalkan said.

     “Do you think he could be after us?” Oakami asked. Silence. There was fear in his voice, something we had never heard from him before. He had always acted a tough, fearless, brave leader, whether he was actually leading something or not, and now to hear a tremble of fear come from his throat made fear stricken through our veins as ice and stones.

     This was bad, but was only enhancing in to worse. “I guess we must just be ready to face anything tomorrow.” Spirit said, “High noon when no shadows surrounds to hid in…..” And with that repeating though, we all simultaneously vanished into our separate ways with a run. Our worries the only thing chasing us.
