Late in the night the ground had started to shake and a rumble filled the air, once silent and peaceful. This stirred the black husky from his slumber, blue eyes darting open in alarm and quickly he was to his paws jumping over the still sleeping form of his brother. The cool night air that swirled in from the open windows brought a dangerous scent with it, carried on the wind was the smell of humans and their machines. What were they doing here? Down the stairs Black Jack went, his paws skipping two stairs at a time as he jumped to the landing and rushed towards the door, it hung crooked on its hinges and remained permanently ajar, but none of the dogs seemed bothered by it. If anything it was a relief to have the door open, it made for an easy escape should the dogs ever need it. The door opened to the inn that most of the pack stayed in during the night, there were plenty of beds for the dogs to choose from and it made sleeping comfortable and warm.
As soon as Jack stepped through the threshold of the door the foul stench of the human machines assaulted his senses and he found himself growling. He crouched low and crawled down the three stairs on the street in front of the inn, his body turned fully to face the bright lights in the distance. Humans had such poor night vision that they needed artificial light to find their way, why were they coming in the night? Surely they couldn’t actually do anything until day time. A frown settled upon his muzzle, he settled in the shadows on the street watching as the lights got closer, their approach causing the ground to tremble and the fumes from the machines circulated through the air. What were they planning to do with their machines? It had been years since any humans occupied this town, that was why Jack chose this place to settle down, it seemed safe, but perhaps he had been wrong and the humans were just waiting for an opportune time to return and retake the town as their own.
Eventually the machines were close enough for Jack to make out their outlines, they were large and intimidating, but he couldn’t tell exactly what they were without getting closer. Right at the edge of the town they stopped and shut down, the trembling stopped, but the stench remained. Black Jack heard approaching paw steps, but didn’t look to see who it was, he knew it was Axiel even before his brother plopped down carelessly next to him. Axi surveyed the situation, but did not speak as he watched the figures of humans mill about their machines and slowly disappear to settle down for the rest of the night. The moon was high within the stars suggesting it was around midnight. A sigh coursed through Jack and he shifted to press against his brother and share warmth with him. He wasn’t planning on going back inside to sleep, he was going to stay up the rest of the night and keep an eye on the humans and their machines, it seemed that Axi had the same idea in mind. It wasn’t often that the brothers were far apart, Axiel always had Jack’s back.
The night passed without any further activity from the humans, but still Black Jack remained on guard, especially as the sun started to peak over the horizon to signal that dawn had arrived. The pack meeting would start soon and Black Jack would have to address this situation. Axiel stirred next to him and he looked over to watch his brother rise and shake his ruff before settling his multi colored eyes on Black Jack. His voice was the rougher of the two brothers, but held no hostility when speaking to Black Jack. “What do you plan to do?” He asked simply, Axiel was a fighter though he was the older and larger of the two, he did not see himself as alpha material. Jack wasn’t sure why, even he didn’t know what went on in Axiel’s head. “I don’t know, but the safety of the pack comes first, I will discuss with everybody about what should be done.” His response was clipped and his body tense as he rose, his muscles sore from being out here all night. Axiel watched with intrigue stepping around his younger brother, granted they were only a few minutes apart, and looked down main street towards where the machines sat in a state of sleep. Humans and their inventions. Axiel snorted at the lifeless creations before turning back towards his brother and giving him a nudge.
His inner thoughts told him to go chew some holes in those tires of the machines, the rubber would be quite tasty, and the chewing would feel good for his teeth. Humans were not safe though, Axiel always hated humans, he was thankful that him and Jack had been born to life on the streets, the cozy life of a house pet would not satisfy him. His first instinct was to remain and protect his home from the foul humans, take a few of them out of this world and feel their essence on his paws. He almost smirked at the thought, they would deserve such a fate, especially if they wanted to destroy this sanctuary. He was not in charge however, he had given that right to his brother, Axiel’s sanity was not properly intact though he did a brilliant job of hiding it outwardly. On the inside his thoughts were always stirring, wanting to find trouble, wanting to cause mayhem. Yet, his brother kept him grounded and that was why they remained close, without his brother Axiel would have been lost long ago, the trappings of his mind overcoming him with ease.
In a way he was grateful that nobody could see the horrors that found a home inside his head. He licked around his muzzle, his black and white fur starting to warm from the rays of the sun that were showing over the horizon. As Black Jack moved to the courthouse Axiel followed, his tail out behind him and his ears flicked back to listen and see if the humans were stirring yet. When the sun rose the humans did, the pack wouldn’t have much time to come to a decision before the humans started their day. Black Jack was focused on the steps in front of him, taking one step at a time as he made his way to the top, aware that Axiel stopped and sat at the bottom waiting for the rest of the pack to gather. Keeping his back to the street Jack looked up at the courthouse in front of him and then beyond to the lightening sky, golden light spilling through the darkness. He wished for luck for his pack to survive whatever strife may now come their way. A meeting happened each morning at dawn and each night before the pack headed off to sleep so it was only a matter of time before the pack gathered below him. Some might have been awoken in the night like he was, some could be just waking up to gather for the meeting.
He heard a soft grunt behind him calling him out of his thoughts and he turned to spot his brother gesturing to the gathering pack. Jack nodded gratefully to Axi and turned to face the pack, letting them settle and wake up a little bit, looking over them to eye the circle of machines at the edge of the town. How much time did they have? Deciding that they had a very limited amount of time Jack barked for attention, a loud sound that would quiet any talking so he held the attention of his subordinates. A heavy sigh carried through him and he took a seat at the top of the stairs, his fluffy black tail curling around his large paws. He took a moment to look at each pack member, study them, see if he could read them and know what they were thinking. He was a little lost in this moment, but when he looked at Axiel all of his fear vanished at the look of faith his older brother had. He sat a little straighter and puffed out his chest, there was no room for doubt in the mind of a leader so Jack had to have courage and strength to keep his pack united and working together in this time. Without further paused he spoke, his voice grave, but he had hope that the pack would get through this.
“As you may have noticed, humans have come with their machines in the night. They pose a threat to us and our way of life. I feel that they will try to reclaim this town from us, and I don’t know if they will do it in such a way as to cause us no harm.” He looked over the faces of his pack members as he spoke. He didn’t want to frighten any of them, but he wanted them to know the truth, only then could the pack truly come to a decision on what to do about the current situation. “I wish to hear the opinions of my pack mates and so I ask you all now. Do we fight or do we flee? If we fight we not only face the humans, but their machines as well and I do not know if we will survive such a fight, but if we flee we must decide which way we will go. There will be dangers along the way, but it might still be the safer option. The majority will decide our fate, please choose wisely my friends.” With that he cut himself off waiting for someone, anyone to speak their mind. The first to speak was Axiel, and Black Jack was hardly surprised by his answer.
“We should fight! This is our home!” He called out, Jack gave him a nod to signify that he heard him, but one opinion did not out voice the others, even if it was his brother. If most agree with Axiel then the pack would fight, but if they did not then the pack would flee. Running was Jack’s preferred option, he knew the destruction that the humans could cause and he wanted no part in it, but if the pack wanted to stay then he would lead them into battle and hope for the best. The risks were high either way, he just hoped that he could lead his pack well and at least keep most of them alive. An overwhelming feeling struck him as he realized how many lives he held in his paws, a feeling that nearly made him tremble. On the inside it momentarily consumed him though on the outside he remained calm. That feeling was on he had never known in his time here before. It had been so long that he had almost forgotten what it was. Now he remembered, and there was only one word to describe it, one fateful word, one disturbing emotion, that crashed down upon him. Fear.
