Wolf's Rain ( OC fan fic )

[NightWolf950]

Dereon shook his head, asmirk still on his face. "Do you think a simple bite will stop me you mutt?" His eyes burned with rage as he looked at the wolf-dog mutt. "Its not that easy to scare me off Hidasta..." he then drew back his hand, smacking the wolf-dog hard across the muzzel sending her to the ground. "You should have followed my orders. You should have been a good girl and stayed in your cage." Dereon growled.

[Lady Hidatsa]

Hidatsa was knocked to the side and yelped, but soon growled back at the human.
You should have been a good master and not abandoned me when I was starving, Hidatsa thought as she arose and returned to the position guarding the wolf and flower.

Memories started flooding back to the wolf-dog the more she looked at the human.

I was in that cage a year and a half ago, Dereon kept me fed and warm until that night I started howling because I was lonely. He stopped visiting me and sent men to feed me insted. I hated that, so when one man took me to the vet in that cage and the vet opened it up I killed him and that danged vet and made a run for it. That dang red-head must have been tracking me since I caught the scent of the maiden.

Hidatsa's head was throbbing from the memories and that smack, but she could at least see clearly enough that Dereon had a hint of fear in his eyes. He knew she was a lot bigger than he last saw her, even though she was barely even a yearling- even if that, maybe even a older puppy- and almost as big as the full-grown wolf behind her. He knew she was 2 1/2 dog years old, and probably could kill him when it came to a one-on-one battle with no guns. She could she it, and she grinned.

Dereon knew she could sense his fear, and calmly reached his bloody hand into his pocket and grabbed his cell phone, then called in two men to assist him.

[Totoro-chan]

Jericho's trance was broken by the sound of a slap, accompanied by the smell of blood. His eyes widened at the Maiden as she backed away in fear, and before looking behind him he heard the sound of the human's voice. It was full of malicious intent, and Jericho immediately put up his guards. Turning around, so that his back now faced the Flower, he saw the red haired man standing there. His hand was dripping with blood, and Jericho followed his gaze to the wolf-dog who was staring him down.

Her again, he thought. The others must be close by. But wait, she knows him? And he..

Coming to realize the situation at hand, Jericho became overly possessive. He heard the Human talking about the Flower, and watched as he beckoned to her to follow. Jericho, usually calm and collected, joined the wolf-dog at her side, and getting into a defensive stance he let out a long, angry growl that resonated from deep within him. He was a full-grown wolf, and though he appeared to be wounded, he was daunting. Whether or not the others arrived soon, Jericho knew that if it came down to it he would fight to the death to defend the Flower, and being the protective type, he would see to it that nothing happened to the wolf-dog either.

It was a strange feeling rising within him, a violent, instinctive rage. He flashed his teeth at the human, his nose crinkling as his lips pulled back to reveal the terrible fangs.

He's not going anywhere with any of us. I don't know who this man is, or what he wants, but from this moment forward I will make it my oath to protect them. At all costs.

Taking a step forward, the full-sized wolf locked eyes on the human. It wasn't until the sirens went off and more humans entered the room that Jericho began to think rationally again.

"Are you alright there?" He asked the wolf-dog. "Because I'm going to need you now. When I give the signal, grab the Maiden and get her out of here. Both of you, get as far away as possible, you understand?"

Just then the humans approached in crowds. Many of them had nets, others had guns tucked away. Jericho watched their hands closely, and when the moment was right he sprung in the air with a deep, vicious bark.

"Now, wolf-dog!"

Landing on the red-haired human, Jericho barked and snapped at his face. He heard a commotion all around him, and sharp metallic claws clasped around his neck. The humans struggled to restrain him. A sharp pain shot into his back like a needle, his pupils contracting as the shock reached his brain. He saw the smirking face of the red-haired man double, then triple as Jericho's vision blurred and his world went black.

[Lady Hidatsa]

Hidatsa barely had time to think before the male leapt at Dereon and commanded her to take the maiden far away. The wolf-dog spun around and the maiden instinctively grabbed her neck fur and clambered onto Hidatsa's fur. The she-wolf was surprised that she was so light, almost the same weight as a small bird.

The wolf-dog sprinted at 75% of her normal speed so that the maiden could hold on easier, but with the light weight of the maiden she made it back to the oak tree where she left the deer carcass within 15 minutes. The maiden slid down the wolf-dog's back and into the shade of the oak tree, trying to catch her breath and relax. The wolf-dog herself was panting, it was a long way from the center of the city to the outskirts, and she had done it in 15 minutes with a flower on her back.

Apparently, Hidatsa's body noticed this before she did for she lay sprawled out on the dirt, paws and lungs burning from the distance. The flower had relaxed, and seemed to know that the she-wolf was extremely tired. The maiden rose, and walked over to the roots of the tree. With one touch to the bark, her hand filled with water she had absorbed and walked over to gasping Hidatsa.

Before the wolf-dog new it, her mouth was moist and cool with the clean water from the maiden's palms and her head was rolling in comfort as the maiden lay her head on her knees and rolled her delicate fingers through the ruff of her neck.

[NightWolf950]

Luna sat on the ground, her right hand resting on the wolf-dog's side while her right hand ran through the creature's fur. "Thank you..." she whispered, her voice delicate and sweet. Luna was greatful to both of the creature's, they had taken away her, given her freedom back. She was now back with those she belonged with.

Dereon finally stood up with the help from a few people. He quickly brushed them off, anger blazed in his eyes. He was so clise to having the maiden back only to have vile creatures to take her away from him. He cursed under his breath, turning and looking at the wolf that was managed to be captured. "Kill it." He hissed, not caring what happened to the wolf.

[Lady Hidatsa]

I have to get back to the male... he may be strong but Dereon and his men are stronger. He is in danger, I can sense it.

"You have to go so soon Hidatsa?" A silvery voice questioned, as if it could read her thoughts.

Hidatsa almost fell asleep with the sound of the flower's silky voice. It was entirely beautiful, and so soothing, Hidatsa could feel her eyelids drooping.

Must.. stay awake... get to male and save him...

"I understand, I will hide here for now. Go to Jericho and save him." The maiden helped the she-wolf get to her feet.

So that's his name...
Jericho...

The wolf-dog tipped her head in thanks at the maiden, and bounded off into the city until she reached the center tower. Dereon's men were crawling all around the outside of the tower, and the door was blocked by two guards.

I hate nobles, they always have backup. I have to get inside no matter the cost. Jericho saved my life a few times, and I don't even know him. I owe him the same, if not more.

Hidatsa rushed at the guards, first grabbing the left one by the throat and crushing down, second knocking the right one to the ground and breaking his leg so he became immoble. The wolf-dog smashed through the doors just as a gun was held to Jericho's head and knocked the gun holder to the ground, destroying the gun and breaking the man's back. She began to circle Dereon, making sure he kept distance between him and Jericho.

One move and I open up that stitch tattoo on your neck.

Dereon closed his eyes, then made a sprint through the door and landed outside on his butt on the pavement, soon to be rescued by his following guardsmen. Hidatsa ignore him, and rushed straight to Jericho, who's head had a wound cut pretty wide open down the left side of his forehead.

If I remember correctly, Jericho once bandaged me up using some type of cloth. I hope a guard's jacket will do until I can get him to the maiden.

Hidatsa tore a chunk out of the jacket and returned to human form to wrap the bandage around Jericho's head. Noises began to be heard clear from outside, and as the doors opened guards rushed inside and made a circle around the two wolves.

"THEY ARE WOLVES, TRAP THEM AND BRING THEM TO DEREON!!!" One of the frightened guards yelled.

This may be it for us male wolf, I am sorry I couldn't repay you. I hope the maiden will get my message and find wolves to help.

Before the guards could grab them, Hidatsa let out the loudest howl she ever could. The cry could be heard throughout the city, and even reached two miles past. With that cry she knew her call had been heard by every wolf in the city, and even the maiden.

[Totoro-chan]

The Lunar Flower....I've finally found her....
after all this time....
She's safe now...with the others...
That's all that matters...

The floor that they dragged him across was cold and hard. The chattering voices had a tone of fear in them.

"What if they wake up! You heard Dereon, why don't we just kill them now!?"

Beside the wolf, the wolf dog was being dragged by two other men. She had been given something to sedate her.

The rookie was cowering behind the men, hesitant to look at the wolves, let alone place a hand on them to help the others.

"Are you kidding?" Chimed in another "These are the first wolves I've seen in the City, or, ever! My grandfather used to tell me stories about them, about how they were thought to have gone extinct years ago, but in fact may quiet possibly still be around, hiding in plain sight, living all around us."

"Do you think there is really such a place as Paradise? Do the wolves really know how to find it, like legend says?" Asked the shorter, stouter man with the cap, fiddling with the keys in his hands.

"Listen guys," the coward interrupted "I really don't think it's gonna matter much when the wolves wakes up a-a-and, kills us all or something!"

"Oh, would you just give it a rest? Why don't you just shut up and help. You are so useless."

The men dragged the wolves to the end of the hall where they came to a door. The man with the keys walked up ahead of them and shuffled through the keys until he found the right one. Unlocking the door, the three men looked all around them before they entered.

"Put him on the table over there" Said one of the men, who appeared to be the highest ranking of the bunch.

"What about the wolf-dog?" asked the one with the keys.

"Bring her too." He said, absent minded as he focused on something else.

The two others proceeded to lift the giant wolf.

"Darn it all! He weighs a bloody ton!"

Their hands dug into the wolfs sides and legs, the wolf's head dangling as they lifted him. Placing him on the table, the two men groaned. "Why aren't you helping?" One of them asked the leader.

"I am." He said, smiling. "Once I get this computer set up I'm going to run some tests. We're going to find out more about these fascinating creatures. Think of it, what if the legend is true? What would people pay to enter a Paradise on Earth? This is a big question, one that must be answered."

The men laughed and cheered as the wolves lay unconscious. As they patted themselves on the back, the larger wolf began to stir.

"I think this deserves a toast. What do you say we go out and celebrate our imminent fame at Sal's Tavern?"


"..I will make it my oath to protect them. At all costs."

One of the men drew closer, placing his hand on the wolfs head and posing. "Hey, take a picture of me with the wolf!"

"Ha!" laughed one of the others, taking out a polaroid and aiming it "Say victory!"


"I will make it my oath..At all costs."

visions of a girl with brown hair and eyes appeared in Jericho's head. They were concerned, and her voice was faintly detectable

"Jericho.." he heard the voice say.

With the flash of the polaroid, Jericho's eyes shot open. His heart jumped within him as a wave of energy suddenly shot throughout his being, sending him flying off the table. He landed on his feet before the men, growling. His vision was still hazy, and he felt drugged. The three men appeared as a larger group as Jericho's vision was still blurred. The men sought to seize him, and he jumped on one of them, knocking him to the ground.

[Lady Hidatsa]

Hidatsa was dreaming, heavily sedated she couldn't wake up until it wore off.

She began dreaming that when she opened her eyes she saw wolves everywhere, chasing caribou and laying in lunar flowers...

A bang made her flinch, and she opened her eyes slightly. Jericho was attacking the men all around, taking them on one by one. Hidatsa tried to move, but the sedative only permitted her eyes and mind to wander.

The flower...
Is she still at the tree?
Where am I...

Jericho...

[NightWolf950]

Troy stood up, not bothering to look human. It was time to take a stand against the humans and show them who ruled who. He growled a bit to himself, looking around the empty city streets. He knew what was happening, the Flower maiden had escaped. Troy could smell her scent not to far from where he was, he took a few steps before sprinting off towards the flower's scent.

Luna sat quietly on the tree's roots that had grown out of the ground. She hoped Hidasta and Jericho would be okay. Luna wanted to help them but knew it was best if she stayed behind and out of site. It would be one less thing the wolves would have to worry about.

[Totoro-chan]

Jericho looked around. His feet were shaky beneath him, and he was struggling. The blood soaking up in the bandage around his head was beginning to leak out again, a drop of crimson falling between his paws. Despite the state he was in, he stood his ground, staring the men down through furious blue eyes. Fortunately for him the two men retreated. They ran out of the room, leaving the door open and the ring of keys on the floor.

Jericho watched as they ran off, taking only a moment to catch his breath. He walked over to the keys on the floor, realizing they would come in handy he took them. Shifting to human form, he made a quick plan in his head. Looking to his left, he found the wolf-dog laying seemingly lifeless on the ground. Jericho walked over to her. He stooped down quickly and put his human hand on her shoulder. He could see she was breathing, and her eyes were moving. He let out a sigh.

"We've gotta stop meeting like this." He managed to laugh. But becoming more grave, he narrowed his eyes at her. "Can you manage to shift forms? We need to get out now."

Putting his arms under the wolf-dog and scooping her up, he held her in his arms and ran out the door. Looking left, then right, then left again, he ran down the corridor, the keys he was holding between his teeth. He carried the wolf dog until she was able to shift.
