"Don't make me leave you behind, that's not fair, you wouldn't let me do that." Said Nathan trying to give her a pleading look through his ninja hood. "Make your choice..." Said Alpha. "Ugh-ra!" Zephyr cried in exasperation and then repiled. "Fine." Nathan and Zephyr sprinted away from there. Nathan only hoped they could make it to the four wheelers before the pack caught up with them.
*** Sensei Lloyd's voice came through the communication device. "It's worse than we thought! Everything's burning! It's seriously worse then the Cursed Realm out here! Come as soon as you can!" *
Oh my goodness. O-O Wow--I gotta say, I love this intense encounter with Alpha. The tension is rising so much both physically and emotionally. OwO

wot. WOT?? O.o
Thanks. :3 It feels like I've waited forever to finally get to this point in the story and I'm so ready to write what comes after this!
Jadyn sat on the bench in the swat van. Calvin was on his left awkwardly holding his crutches in the tight space of the crowded van. On his right was a hooded warrior he didn't know. He had heard Calvin call him Rex though. There was eight of them in the back, not counting whoever was up front driving. As they drove along, the pack members talked among themselves. Two of them, Delta and Olivia were what they were referred to, were having a serious sounding conversation. Meanwhile three of them, Rex and two others: Jeff and Aiden, talked lightheartedly and made jokes. The other warrior was one of the Wolf rank generals who sat in silence as he looked somewhat disapprovingly at the younger pack members who weren't taking the task very seriously. Jadyn and Calvin hadn't said anything yet. Eventually Jadyn asked Calvin. "Where are we going?" Either Calvin hadn't heard him or he was intentionally ignoring him. Calvin hadn't made eye contact or acknowledged him even once. Jadyn guessed it was because of the other warriors. Although Calvin was one of the pack's warriors, Jadyn had seen good in him, and he hoped he would change someday. It was actually quite humbling how human some of the pack members seemed now he was around them all the time. Many, if not all, genuinely thought what they were doing was right, and that fact alone was frightening... After awhile, Jadyn asked Calvin again. "Calvin, do you know where we are going?" Calvin was looking at the floor. He replied quietly, "You'll see..." Jadyn didn't ask again after that. A few more minutes past as the other warriors chatted. Suddenly the swat van came to a jolting stop and everyone became quiet.
The Wolf rank general got to his feet and walked over to the door in the back of the van. He opened the door a little and began to speak in a hushed voice with a warrior who was outside. From what Jadyn could see there was snow on the ground outside and some older looking buildings close by that looked to be a small village. He still had no idea what they were doing, but as he recalled what the pack had done in the past he began to grow anxious. The Wolf rank general turned back to everyone in the van and odered, "I want everyone except for the injured student and elemental master to van two, now." The pack members did as they were told, some glancing at Jadyn and Calvin as they exited the van. Once they were all out one of them slammed the door shut. Jadyn glanced at Calvin, there was something about the almost guilty look on his face that made him uneasy. "Calvin, why are we here? I feel like you know something important..." Calvin didn't reply, he instead fixed his gaze on the crutches in his hands. Suddenly Jadyn heard some noise coming from outside the swat van. His blood began to race, something felt very, very wrong... "Calvin, what are they doing out there? Those warriors, what did they leave to do?" Jadyn felt frustrated when Calvin didn't relpy yet again. He couldn't take it anymore. Jadyn made his way to the door as he said. "Fine, if you won't tell me, I'm going to see for myself-" Calvin suddenly sprung up and blocked Jadyn from the door. "No don't! At least not yet. We have to wait." There was a hostile air about Calvin now as he stood there crutches in hand as he favored his good leg. "Let me through." Jadyn said in a threatening tone. "I can't..." repiled Calvin.

There was a hostile air about Calvin now as he stood there crutches in hand as he favored his good leg. "Let me through." Jadyn said in a threatening tone. "I can't..." repiled Calvin.
On impulse Jadyn grabbed the collar of Calvin's uniform and said. "Then tell me what they are doing." "It's better that you don't know. In fact I really don't think you want to see what's going on out there..." More noises came from outside. One vaguely sounded like a scream... Jadyn suddenly slammed Calvin against the wall of the swat van and opened the door. "No-!" Calvin protested. Jadyn jumped out into the snow and looked around him. The first thing he noticed was the fire. His childhood fear tried to instinctively take over, but his fear in this moment couldn't match the horror he felt instead. Half the buildings were set ablaze. Wolf warriors where everywhere in their dark uniforms and hoods. Some held flame throwers and others swords or knifes. As Jadyn took in the sence before him he stood in shock. Slowly as he came to his senses his shock turned to a sort of rage that hungered for justice. "Wait!" Calvin limped out of the swat van, his crutches weren't doing so well in the snow. Calvin managed to get close enough to grab Jadyn's uniform. "Stop." Calvin said trying to keep his balance. "Alow me to expla-" Without thinking, Jadyn pushed the injured warrior into the snow. Without looking back he rushed twards the burning village. Even from the distance he was he could feel the temperature get warmer as he got closer to the fire. It was snowing, but the snow had little effect on the flames. He caught glimpses of villagers fleeing, the warriors would chase them as far as the srounding woods but wouldn't go after them any further. The ones that fought back though weren't shown mercy... A man with a pitch fork was jabbing at pack members angrily and actually managed to injure one. She let out a cry as she fell to the ground. Another warrior rushed to her side as two others quickly finished the man with the pitch fork. By the time Jadyn was close enough that he could've done something it was to late.
No one had noticed him yet besides Calvin because of his uniform. Jadyn spotted a young man not far off fighting off a warrior with a shovel. Jadyn ran over to them in a matter of seconds. He jumped into the air and kicked the warrior's face, knocking him backwards into the mud and slush. The young man looked at Jadyn confused. "Run! Leave quickly!" Jadyn said. The young man held his shovel defensively, he seemed unsure and afraid. "Are you with them?..." the young man asked uneasily. "No... If anything I'm more of a prisoner trying to make the best of the situation." Jadyn replied as calmly as he could manage. The man lowered his shovel a little. "Now go." said Jadyn again. "I can't, my little sister is trapped in the top floor of our home. I can't leave her!" The young man looked like he was close to panicking as he said it. Jadyn noticed the young man's eyes were watering. "Which house?" He asked. The young man pointed at the house nearest to where they were standing. It was partly on fire including where a door was. "This one. The stairs are on fire!" Jadyn quickly examined the house. He went around to the side that wasn't on fire. There was a back door but if what the man said was true that wouldn't help much. "Her bedroom is up there!" The young man pointed to one of the windows. That was all he needed to know... Jadyn ran at the house and jumped into the air as he turned into a whirlwind of spinjizu to boost him up further. He reached out to grab the window sill and pulled himself up onto it. He stopped doing spinjizu as he hung onto the top of the window. Miraculously the window was open. He kicked the screen off and slipped inside. The room was dark besides the light that came in from outside and under the bedroom door from the flames behind it. Jadyn stepped forward, he could feel the structure of the home growing unsteady. In one of corners of the room was a bed. Sitting on top of it huddled up against the wall was a little girl, she was in purple pajamas and had black hair. She hugged a donkey plush close to her as if trying to protect it from the flames that were just beginning to burn through the door.
