Chapter Twelve: Run,Hide or Fight?

Atzi was running deep into the nearby woods that was not far from the window she jumped from. She wondered if the mouse was okay, but she remembers the sudden squeak followed by men's laughter

"I thank whoever is watching for bringing her to help me and wish her to be safe." Atzi whispered to herself as she walked in the deep woods.

She was just about to stop and look at the page she ripped from the book when a familiar sound hit her ears; the Guards.

Atzi pocketed the paper and began running. She weaved through the trees, hopped over the brambles and bushes, her breath steady and tried to stay silent.

The howls and barks alerted to Atzi how close they were on her trail. Her dark eyes grew wide at the thought of being caught.

With this on her mind she ran faster. Sliding down a small cliffside she ducked into a cave just big enough to hide her. She remained her listening...watching.

Above her, she heard the Guards huffing and scrambling around trying to find her. They growled and yapped loudly in frustration but remained near her hideout.

"Are you really gonna let those mangy mutts make you cower like a whimpering pup? GET OUT THERE AND FIGHT! YOURE ALPHA NEEDS YOU!!"

A voice shouted in her mind. Atzi was confused at first, but realized it was the wolf in her that Motus mentioned. With a nod, Atzi closed her eyes and let the feral feeling take over.

With a loud snarl, Atzi shifted into the misty grey and black she wolf once again. Her golden eyes alight with a fierce intent.

The she wolf now with a moon like glow jumped out and tackled a male who lagged behind the rest. Hr fangs bared she lashed her claws at his ribs. The male yelped out but returned a gnashing bite towards her hind legs, just barely grazing one.

The she wolf growled loudly and twisted over to the left, her jaws clamping on to the male's tail and her head shook furiously. She knew this would mess with his spine and possibly paralyze him.

The male yelped in pain and tried to escape.

"Oh no you dont you COWARD!!" she snarled.

Those words were the last he heard as she pounced him down and snapped her jaws shut around the top of his skull, sinking her fangs in with a bone crushing crunch.

With a blood soaked muzzle, she howled and ran after the rest. Thankfully the male she killed looked similar to her, so maybe theyd think she was him.

She slowly caught up and slowed her pace, stopping a few feet from the three others. The leader looked at her and slowly approached.

The fight had wiped his scent all over her, as well as his blood. "What happend?! Who's blood?"

In the best male voice she could muster she replied; "It was the wolf from before..the female. She..attacked me."

The leader, furious, lashed at She wolf Atzi. He snarled and told her to return to the castle to tell Damon what had happend. She nods and runs off.

"IT WORKED!" she thought to herself. "Don't worry Motus...I'm on my way."

"Atzi..?" Motus voice suddenly said to her. She skidded to a stop in shock.
