The Truth Be Told

Chapter 7: our first mission pt 2

"Copy.", they all say into my ear piece. As the pack nears at a steady pace I inform the team on how the pack is formed and where they are coming from. Right as I finish describing the pack to them the front line of the wolves crosses the forest line and on to the farmers property. Then ,not a second later, a howl had pierced the night air and the wolves ran toward the house. And that's when Abe had given the signal and Liz lit the hay bails. From my vantage point the bails made a ring around the house and had made the dark night turn to bright day. But after that about 5 wolves on the sides of the pack ran in front of the pack, circled the house and split the fire into sections. They are apparently the fire wolves. Then the pack swarmed in and the fight began. Hellboy took about 10 out right as they were jumping over the lit hay bails. The other agents were shooting away;few hitting their targets and many failing. Abe was moving rapidly on the roof, telling everyone what, were, and how the fight will ensue. Erin is shooting many rogues and any that Abe says to shoot to save their teams back. I on the other hand is trying to spot the loner, but also trying to pay attention to the fight. While the rest of the team has their guns, brawn, and have Abe and Erin to watch their back I only have my gun, bow'n arrows and by magic box trap for the wolf other than that I'm on my own. Right as I'm about to go help the team I see movement to my left out of the corner of my eye. It is the lone wolf, but he's not like the others. Instead of red eyes it has teal blue, instead of dark brown or red fur it has black fur with a hint of dark blue streaks, and it does seem to be a bit bigger than the others. I slowly climb down the tree and slowly but surely make my way to the wolf. I'm standing behind the wolf about 5 or so feet away when my earpiece turns on and makes a noise. Then the wolf jumps and turns on me. Teeth bared and the hackles don't make it any better because, it makes him look bigger.

"No, no, no, no it's ok it' ok shsh....", I say to it and try to show it that I mean no harm. " Look I mean no harm.", right as I finish that sentence I drop my box trap. Its hackles lower a little and its teeth receded.

"What do you want? You want to kill me, torture me, or better yet take me and put me on an exhibit at a zoo or something?", It says to me. I'm astounded. I had no idea that they could talk like... english.

" NO! I just want you to come with me and tell me what and why your pack is doing this.", I say to it still a bit baffled on how this creature can talk.

"Are you telling the truth? How do I know I can trust you?", It asks me still on guard.

" ' cause I talked to those kids that live in that house. And they told me that you're not like the other wolves. You're different. You don't attack, you don't fight, and you don't do what the others do.", as I say this I'm inching my way towards him and keep my hand to the sides of me.

" I sense something about you. Are you part demon or something.", he asks me.

"To be honest yes. I'm the daughter of Hellboy and Liz Sherman.", I say to him motioning towards the farm house.

" (inhaling sharply) Amung Un Rama's daughter! I'm sorry for the way I have acted. I did not realize I was in the presence of royalty. I'm Cüron, outcast of my pack. What can I do for you?", He says to me with such kindness and astonishment in his voice.

"You can come with me in peace and help answer some questions I have. Is that ok?", I ask him knowing that me and him are at peace. He nods with approval.

* An hour later after the fight at the farm *

It was 3 in the morning when what was left of the pack retreated to where ever they came from. My team, Cüron and I returned to the facility and retired for the night. Now I bet your wondering, "What did the team think of Cüron?" " Did the try to hurt him?" and things like that. Well to answer your questions I told them the same thing he told me and they just have their eyes on him. But for some reason Cüron's just clinging to me. When we are at the facility he asks if he can stay with me and I let him. I fixed a comfy spot so him in a far corner of my room. I put three pillows, two comforters, and a fuzzy blanket on top for him to lay on. After I got in bed about 10 minutes later I feel a nudge on my shoulder.

"Hey are you asleep?", I hear Cürons voice say with a hint of a wine in it. Like he's scared of something.

"I was getting there. Is there something you want?", I ask him with a gentle tone while turning to face him.

"It's just that um ... I have a fear of um ... ugh.. I just.. can I sleep with you for the night, please. I promise I won't do anything please.", he says with a wine at the end and with a sad puppy dog look in his blue eyes.

"Ok but you'll have to explain yourself in the morning. Get up here.", I say with a yawn at the end. He gets in my queen sized bed and cuddles next to me. To be honest he is very warm and comfy, even though he practically takes up half of my bed.
