Chapter 3 Part 1: Meeting the Pack

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

"It took Flash and Twilight about an hour to find the location of the local pack's den, they were at the cave mouth when Flash stopped rather suddenly.

You okay there, Flash?" Twilight asked out of worry, in an ironically soothing tone.

"Yeah, it's just that I haven't seen my pack in such a long time, so I guess it's just a nerve-wracking experience, coming back and seeing the pack again." Flash said, looking slightly anxious.

"Well it's far too late to turn back now big brother." Came a voice that virtually hypnotized Flash and locked him in place.


"Are you going to just stand there looking like a tree or are you going to introduce us?" Twilight asked, snapping Flash back into reality.

"Twilight, this is my little sister Light Step, Light Step, this is my girlfriend, Twilight." Flash said as the two girls approached each other.

"Pleasure to meet you Twilight." Light Step said with a smile as she shook hands with Twilight.

"Likewise, Light Step." Twilight said, returning the smile and handshake.

It was then that both Flash and Twilight noticed a figure standing at the entrance to the cave.

"Hello father it's been some time." Flash said, not looking away from the man in front of them.

"It is good to see you and what you look like." Flash's father said with a smile.

"The feeling is mutual father." Flash replied.

"It seems that my son has forgotten his manners, my name is Skillful Hunter, Hunter for Short." Hunter said.

Not so, Flash was simply stuck in his own mind reliving old memories, just like last time he was here." Light Step said, hiding her smirk.

"Well either way, you're just in time for the nightly hunt, we could use a skilled tracker." Hunter said with a practiced smile.

"Hang on a minute here, I can't exactly eat the raw meat that you guys can, so if it's alright with you I am going to find a diner and order a salad." Twilight said, before someone asked her to join in the hunt.

"I see, well if you come inside, you can use the kitchen, we have the place setup like a house so that it doesn't attract the wrong attention." Hunter explained.

"I thought Skinwalker packs hated grouping up in a domestic setting, and using it as a den, a meeting place maybe, but not a den." Twilight said, recalling some lore on Skinwalkers, and gaining three 'are you serious?' looks from the others.

"Twilight, surely you do realize that you're being stereotypically racist with that comment right." Flash said.

"Sorry, I guess it's just the Brainiac in me and I also forget that there are some that don't act like the rest." Twilight said, looking slightly embarrassed.

"Well father, shall we go inside, or will we freeze to the death outside?" Light Step asked rather rudely.

"Light Step, how dare you speak so rudely to your father, especially since we have guests, because of this you can now go and peel the carrots and pumpkin that I have out for our guest." Flash's mother said, looking as furious as Night Light did when Twilight said that she was leaving.


"What, but I wasn't trying to be rude, I was just trying to be considerate of Twilight, please don't make me stay." Light Step begged.

No buts, you did the wrong thing, now you can do as you're told, or you won't be seeing the outside of that thing you call a bedroom for the remainder of the moon cycle." Flash's mother finished saying her part, and the threat caused him to smile, briefly lost in his nostalgia.

Flash, just because you've grown up doesn't mean you're above the rules of this home, I can still keep you here as well." Flash's smile faded slightly at hearing this.

"Forgive me mother, I was simply getting nostalgic, I haven't forgotten my place here." Flash said, trying to show that he doesn't need to be treated like a child."

While everyone was simply catching up, Twilight had been standing there just while they had spoken to one another, but she was starting to get a little cold.

"Um excuse me, sorry to interrupt everyone but could we please go inside, I'm getting rather cold?" Twilight asked, emphasizing with a slight shiver.

"Quite alright, I agree, Light Step, you can go start taking care of those carrots and pumpkin slices please." Flash's mother said as they all started walking in.

"By the way Twilight, my name is Great Friend, but my nickname and my preferred title is Terra." She said with a smile.

"Well it's nice to meet you properly Terra." Twilight said, returning the smile.


"So the entire pack helped contribute to putting this place together?" Twilight inquired.

"Yes, in fact it was my idea to do this, and include the kitchen, they forget that I'm unable to eat their food due to being human."

"Wait, you're human, like me?" Twilight said loud enough to make Light Step jump.

"Yes, in fact, Hunter met me in a very similar way to how you met Flash." This made Twilight curious, she looked away from the stove while the kettle was heating up.

"So he ran away from the pack?"

"Not exactly..."

"Then how?" Twilight asked, accidentally cutting Terra off.

"Well, I found him injured while I was searching for some berries, he was in his animal form, so I took him home, patched him up, and when he was fully recovered, he took back to the place where I found him, and he transformed, of course I was going through that lovely time where I was curious, so the following actions resulted in my pregnancy with Flash." Terra explained, choosing not to be graphic in front of Light Step.

"That must have been hard on you, and the thought of explaining it to your parents must have been terrifying." Twilight said, wondering if she was actually being nosy now.

"Not really, my parents didn't care about me, and I was being taken into care only a few weeks later so it was an easy enough choice to leave." Terra said, leaving Twilight speechless.


"Well I'd like to change the subject if it's okay." Twilight said, getting slightly uncomfortable.

Terra nodded as she motioned for Light Step to go to her room as the end part of her punishment.

"Well, you said that the recent string of deaths was all due to the vampires that recently settled into town, yes?" Twilight asked hesitantly.

"Yes, but I only said that because I didn't want Flash trying to make the same mistake Hunter made." Terra said looking down at her now trembling hands.

"What do you mean?" Twilight asked.

"The first death was a local man who had a high role in the city and as our pack leader, he approached the vampires and offered them a place with us so that they didn't need to keep moving, but the next day he was found hanging from the spire of the local church house." Terra said, trying not to hold back tears.

"I see, so Hunter chose to suspect the vampires and now there's tension between this pack and the vampires right?" Twilight summed up into a question.

"Yes, but I am beginning to think that there is a hunter who strayed from good and started to murder everything, mainly because vampires are also victims." Terra said, now starting to shake.
