150. Kaya
Kaya
I saw Howi, and it was all I needed. I needed to kill him. All of this would end if I could just kill him. I didn't hesitate the second I saw him. My mind focused, and I charged forward. He was engaged with another wolf. As I approached, I knew it was Robert. If Robert was here, where was my daughter. He should not be here. He should be with Sol, I thought.
I had not felt her die, so I knew Howi did not have her. Just as I reached Howi, Robert fell to the forest floor. I looked at his limp body. I felt him die. Sorrow consumed me. He had killed Robert. He threatened everything I loved. Rage consumed me. It filled my very marrow. I needed to kill Howi, and I needed to do it now. I leaped on him, tearing into his hunches. It didn't even faze him.
But I was a master at this move. I could lock my jaw and not let go. He thrashed, trying to get me off. I no longer felt my body, which was good because when he slammed me into the ground, I still had not released him. Then he did something surprising: he ran. He ran with me, still attached to his shoulder. I fought to hold on, trying to get him to stop by using my paws to scratch at him. But I couldn't get a grip. My paws were too slick with blood.
Then, I felt the impact of a hard rock digging into my side. I thought I was past pain, and my jaw instantly released. I fell to the ground. My body was used and abused. Howi circled me. His teeth bared. He had been waiting for this. He wanted me dead, and he would get his wish. I tried to stand, but my body was so weak and broken. He was about to charge me when suddenly a white wolf came out of nowhere. Tackling Howi to the ground. What was happening?
I looked around as I lay in the dirt. Hundreds of white wolves were now flooding the woods. I watched as the white wolf threw around Howi like he was nothing. This white wolf was fighting Howi, whose fur was also white but had been coated in dirt. I didn't have the energy to figure out why he had dirtied his fur. I watched with anticipation, hoping whoever this was fighting him would be victorious. My limp body just lay there.
The white wolf ripped at his face, cutting it open. Both barred their teeth. I limply got up. I needed to help whoever it was who had decided to take on Howi. I weakly shoved Howi. He turned his head toward me, and he snapped. The white wolf moved in front of me. Pushing me into the ground and taking the bite in the side of the face. It whimpered. But it being so close, I was able to pick up the smell. It was Nieva.
She was here. Nieva was here and she was fighting Howi. Nieva whimpered, and the side of her face was ripped up. But she continued to fight Howi. Moving him deeper and deeper into the woods. The three of us fought. Nieva and I working together to attack him. I felt like I was barely helping Nieva. My swipes with my paws were weak and did almost nothing.
My jaw was beyond tired from ripping and biting so many others. I noticed where we were. The three of us were close to a colossal bluff. The drop was nearly 150 feet. If I could push Howi off of the ledge, he would die. I would need to do this right, but my mind needed to be clearer. Neither Howi nor Nieva knew they were so close to the edge.
I only knew because I had hunted over here. Nieva looked at me briefly, and I mind-linked her. "There is a cliff close by. We can shove him off the height that will kill him." Nieva looked around, hoping to locate the edge of the bluff. I was so tired and disoriented that I only knew where we were. My vision was blurry, and I would have had difficulty locating the edge. Nieva moved, and I tried to follow her movements. We were pushing Howi. She had to have located where the drop-off was.
I followed her lead to the best I could. I finally saw the edge through the blurry vision. I didn't know if things were blurry because of injury or because of the blood in my eyes. I bit into Howi. Trying to hold on, I watched as Nieva used me to get a hold of him to take a chunk out of his face. I let go as she shoved him. He was going to fall off the edge, but at the last second, he bit into Nieva's side, and both went over the edge.
I went to grab hold of Nieva and was able to dig into the upper part of her leg. She was now suspended over the edge. Me having a loose hold on one of her paws. I peeked over the edge and saw Howi still attached to her. I was holding up two wolves with a loose grip on one of them. I needed to be stronger, but I was so weak. I knew I didn't have the strength to actually pull her up. And even if I did, I would also pull up Howi in the process.
I held on, but my slick paws were making it complicated. I extended my nails, pushing them deeper into Nieva's leg. "Kaya let go." "I can't." I mind-linked her. "Kaya, you have to let me go. Howi needs to die, and this is the way it will happen. You can end this." "You will die Nieva." "I have lived a long life. It is my time and I want to go this way." I couldn't let go; I just couldn't. "I choose you, Kaya. You will be the next Luna of the Cresent Moon Pack. Take them in and make them Shadow Pack. Cade will be a good alpha, and you will be a great Luna to all of them. I am so proud of you. I will see you in the Garden."
Then she moved her head and bit into my paw that was holding her from dropping. I watched in horror as she fell down the bluff, and I knew the second she hit the ground, she was dead. I had felt her die. I could no longer move. I fell into the dirt, and everything caught up to me. Blackness consumed every facet of my body and mind. Everything was dark.
