Oh My Gosh! You broke your chest plate?!

What kicked you?

 

[wildriverswolf90]

Yeah, never realized how much you use the muscles on your chest until I broke the bone. I got kicked by a young calf, I was at my friends and they we branding the 4 week old calves and I was helping hold one down and it kicked out.

Man! That sounds so painful! I've been kicked by one of our full grown rams, and that hurt like the dickens, but never a calf and I've never broken my chest bone.

Chapter 11.

Eclipse and Aki looked at Skyuka, "What did you say?" Aki asked.
Skyuka panted, blood dripping from a deep wound on her leg.
"Hunters." She said breathlessly. "Hunters."
Eclipse whined, and darted into the den. "Nighta, Luna, Hurry!" She barked. Two eight week old pups clambered out of the den. Eclipse grabbed Luna by the scruff. "Come on..." her voice mumbled by Luna's fur. Aki stooped down and yanked Nighta up. Eclipse bolted into the forest, running with all she had. She knew about the horrors of hunters. Her eyes scanned the forest wildly, her ears flicking back and forth, trying to catch every sound.
Skyuka limped behind them, blood pouring from the wound on her leg. She whimpered with every step, and her body shook with pain.
"Wait........" she whispered, falling behind.
Aki looked back, "hurry." He mumbled, falling back to help her.
Suddenly a gunshot splintered a small sapling just feet away from Eclipse. She yelped and jumped, darting away and deeper into the forest.
"Here, take him." Aki growled, dropping Nighta in front of Skyuka.
"What are you doing?" Skyuka asked, gently picking up Nighta.
"I'm gonna kill them, before they kill my pack!" He snarled and disappeared into the thick pine.
Skyuka was just barely able to keep up with Eclipse's frantic pace.
Eclipse dodged between the trees, her eyes wild with fear. Poor little Luna swung back and forth in her mother's jaw. "Owwww." She whined as her scruff was yanked tight.
Eclipse darted into a deep rocky cave, and scrambled back into the furthest reaches, laying Luna down on the cold floor. Skyuka followed behind her, into the pitch black dark. She placed Nighta next to his sister and then laid down to lick her wound and try and stem the flow of blood. Eclipse laid beside her pups an nursed them, trying to calm them.
"Momma? What's going on?" Luna whispered.
"Shhhh.....we have to be quiet and hide." Eclipse said shakily.
"Where is daddy?" Nighta whined, his eyes peering into the dark searching for his father.
"He'll be back soon." Eclipse assured him.
The four wolves lay in the dark, not even daring to take a deep breath. Eclispe listened intently, when she heard several rapid gunshots.
"Get him." She heard a gruff voice say.
"Ahhhhhhh, shoot it! Shoot It!" She heard another voice shout.
Then she heard a low howl, then all was silent.
"Aki.............." she whispered, forcing herself to stay still.

Chapter 12( from the point of view of Aki)

Aki gasped as the gunshot splintered the small sappling. His fur bristled and a vicious growl eminated from his throat.
"Here, take him." He said placing Nighta in front of Skyuka.
He turned and walked into the forest, stopping to watch his pack, his family, race into the forest and out of sight. He turned, snarling and raced through the trees, small branches snapping against his face. He stood on the brow if a hill, his body ominously silhouetted by the sunset. He stocked down from hill, a fierce snarl erupting from his mouth, he circled the hunters.
"Did you hear that?" One man asked, turning in a circle, waving his gun wildly.
"Shut up." The larger human said.
Aki darted behind the men, snapping a branch and growling.
"I know you heard that." The smaller human said fearfully.
"I did," the larger human said. The pair turned standing back to back, scanning the forest.
Aki launched himself from bush, snapping at the smaller human.
"Help!" It screamed.
Aki disappeared into the shadows, followed by a hail of bullets. He turned and charged back towards the men.
"Get him!" The large man yelled, shoot off his gun.
Aki dodged and flew at the large man, grabbing onto its bony shoulder.
"Ahhhhhhh! Shoot it! Shoot it!" The man gasped.
Aki watched the small human struggle with its gun, in a panic. He thrashed his head, killing the hunter, then turned and jumped at the other. Suddenly his gun went off, 3 rapid shots aimed at Aki. The first bullet missed its mark, the second grazed his hind leg, tearing a gash, the third tore through the side of his neck. He yelped and hit the ground with a thud.
The smaller human, fumbled trying to put another shiny bullet into the long barrel. He stuck the gun against Aki side, pressing hard. Aki let out a low growl, and shoved his back legs against the earth, his body flying up. He sank his teeth into the man, and they both fell backwards in a heap. Aki rolled from the lifeless human, panting, and slowly dragged himself to his feet. He stumbled blindly through the blurring forest. He let out another low howl.
"Eclipse.........." he whispered and collapsed in the snow.

Chapter 13: New blood

In the shadows of the forest, a vivid red puddle of blood tainted the pure white snow. A breeze shook the trees, the shadows danced on the ground, casting small dapples of sun on Aki's haggered body. his body shook with cold, blood froze to his dark gray pelt. His eyes wildly scanned the forest, not turly seeing what lay beyond clearing. His breath came in short ragged spasms. His heart pounded wildly in his chest.
'Am I gonna die alone?' He thought.

In the den Eclipse ignored the whimpers of her pups. She paced the cave entrance, searching the shadows, every rustle startled her, filling her with hope that she would see Aki.
"I'll go look for him." Skyuka said, giving a half smile.
"Thank you." Eclispe whispered, her eyes swam with tears.
Skyuka nodded and sprinted into the forest, she sniffed the air, searching for Aki's scent. Her whole body was on edge, her ears tuned to every sound. Her eyes catching every small movement.
