Akurle heard her friends screaming outside. She poked her head out the hole and tasted the air. It smelled of blood. Instantly she grew nervous and slithered all the way out and prepared to defend her friends. She turned into her wolf form and was about to charge forward when something knocked the breath out of her. She collapsed to the ground and two heave paws slammed into her back and held her down. She grunted and looked up to see one of the Ebony Wolves pushing her to the ground.

The wolf smiled cruely, revealing fangs as sharp as needles. Akurle struggled under his grip. She was temped to slash him with her claws, but Jetleap had told her not to attack.

"What... do you want!" She grumbled, trying to knock the wolf off her. He was a very large wolf, much bigger than her, and he had massive paws. Muscles rippled under his sleek black coat and his glowing red eyes gleamed with amusement.

"To kill you." He said in a deep, yet quiet voice. It echoed through the forest a million times, as if a thousand other wolves had said the same thing. Leaves rustled on the tree above her.

Akurle struggled harder, but her strength was fading. It was no use. The wolf leaned down as if to bite her neck when he stopped.

"No. It is useless to kill you. You are already done for." The wolf leaned back, but then raised his paw above her head as if to knock her out instead.

Suddenly a loud snap echoed through the woods and a branch came crasshing down on the wolf's head. He wimpered in pain, staggering backward. His eyes rolled into the back of his head and he fell down, unconsious. Akurle rolled out of the way before the branch hit her as well.

Mr. Buttons hopped out of the tree above her, smiling. He glanced at the unconsious wolf and turned to Akurle.

"You weren't supposed to attack them!" Akurle scolded.

"Your welcome for saving your life. Technically, I didn't attack him. The branch fell on him." Mr. Buttons answered.

Akurle sighed. "Alright, sorry. Thank you. But what about the others?"

Buttons tilted his head in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"I heard screaming and smelled blood." Akurle looked around, quietly searching for her friends.

"Oh. I'm not sure. I saw one of the wolves turn back to where you were so I followed him."

"We should go back and find out what happened." Akurle said. With a quick nod, they took off, and found the others in no time. Akurle traced the scent of blood farther into the forest and found Ash.

Then she saw the limp body of an Ebony Wolf.
