XV - Marlowe

Two weeks have gone by and I've already had a majority of my fingers regenerate multiple times from being bitten off by animals or to stop infection. A few of the tigers I had grouped with already called it quites, they couldn't take it anymore.

I hated the A****n. There were still tribes of humans out here, so we had to be careful, even though certain groups of humans knew about us. I looked at Eidrich and John, who were whispering with each other, smiles on their faces. Mates. They were going to be killed when others found out.

I got to my feet; Picking my pack up, I cleared my throat and everyone looked at me.

"Time to go?" Eidrich asked, as he and the others grabbed their packs.

"We took a longer break than usual. If we want to get to the ruins, we need to keep going." I told them.

I put the fire out and we began to walk. An hour hadn't gone by when a raven appeared with a letter.

Stay where you, everyone is getting escorted out. An Alpha has gone missing.

I gave the raven a treat and it rested on my pack. A group made up of wolves, jaguars, elves, Vampires, and bears walked over.

"You guys get the letter too?" The Elf asked, nodding at the letter in my hand.

"We're going to find the Alpha. I'm not listening to some letter." I told them.

"Never abandon the Alpha, unless it's to protect the pack, wouldn't expect a Feral like you to know that." One of the wolves spoke. "I'm Simon."

"Marlowe." I told them. "What are you all going to do?"

"You said the words. Where should we start?"

I looked at the raven and I smiled.

"Think you can help us find the Al-

I stopped when a blue glow appeared. A Wisp. It let out a haunting chirp as others appeared.

"I guess we follow them." Eidrich spoke, before we began to follow them.

Following Wisps were dangerous but we had to. We were unsure of which of us it was for.
