I looked around and saw\n\nKino's friend Axel. A lady walked in and looked at me \"Ah the first to\n\nawaken.\" Soon enough the other two woke up looking at me and then\n\naround. It seems like we're inside some type of bar maybe. I can see a\n\nbartender cleaning a glass looking at us. \"Hun come over here please.\"\n\nThe man came over as his body vanished, but he could still be seen.\n\n\"Yes, my queen.\" \"That's a shadow.\" She moved her hand up and look at\n\nus all \"The one you are protecting is in danger and so is my bouncer.\"\n\n\"Why do you want to help?\" \"If we get rid of these hunters then I'll\n\nbe able to use my magic when ever I want and not worry that they'll\n\ncome and destroy my business. Do you really think the male cops enjoy\n\nmale strippers?\" \"No, I suppose not.\" \"So we'll be splitting up in\n\nteams of three. You, Axel, and me will make one team as the rest make\n\nthe other team.\" \"Why don't I just join them and you three be a team?\"\n\nI pointed to her, Axel, and the shadow. \"Do you want to save them or\n\ncomplain about the teams?\" She right I have to put aside my hatred\n\ntowards shadows and save him. \"Very well. Noah, Stephen watch your\n\nbacks we're going up strong foes. They nearly killed us last time, but\n\nthis time we're ready for them.\" \"That's right Ghost we will save\n\nBrian.\" I smiled slightly he's made an army to come save him without\n\nknowing it. He got close to these people and so did Kino. I stood up\n\nwith Stephen and Noah. \"Let's go save them!\" The lady smiled at us\n\n\"Ghost and Richard are the stealth part going around security. Me and\n\nStephen will be support and long distance attackers. While Axel and\n\nNoah will be the speed in the factor.\" I nodded my head as Richard\n\nwalked to the others. Me, Cortez, and Axel got together. \"We will look\n\nfor Kino while you three will get Brian.\" \"I'm Brian's guardian I\n\nshould go and save him!\" \"Kino is the key to Brian's gift. At\n\nthe moment he will be uneasy and scared. If they make the energy\n\nspill out if him. Then we will have hell of a problem or should I say holy problems.\" I\n\nlooked at her she was smart she knows a lot of things. \"Very well\n\nlet's go and save them. Noah, Stephen I am entrusting Brian's safety\n\nto you two.\" They smiled and they spoke in sync \"We will save him.\" I\n\nsmiled slightly as we all left.\n\nI saw the building it was four stories high. Brian's life force is\n\nstrongest on the top floor. That means we don't have to worry about an\n\nunderground maze. We ran inside only to find a hunter glaring at us \"A\n\nwitch, a ghost, a shadow, a neko, a wolf, and a vampire.\" He grinned\n\nhappily \"What a joyful hunt!\" Cortez and Stephen cast a spell\n\nsending thunder to his way the hunter was blown to the other side of\n\nthe room. \"You three go we will stop this hunter!\" Noah, Richard, and\n\nStephen ran up the stairs. \"You three aren't going anywhere!\" Cortez\n\nsurrounded the hunter with flames he was unable to stop them perfect.\n\n\"Damn you witch! Ether way you're all too late we'll be hooking that\n\nlittle freak magnet and get the power we need thanks to those\n\nvampires.\" Vampires. I summoned my two sword and looked at him. \"Die!\"\n\nAxel came up next to me grabbing my sword turning it to a dark blade then taking it from me\n\n\"Death bringer.\" I grinned as Cortez sent thunder at him he jumped\n\naway as Axel kicked the guy to the wall. \"Ghost hurry up.\" I ran\n\nquickly to the hunter as the building shook. Axel lost his grip as the\n\nhunter stabbed Axel's shoulder-blade. \"Take holy water you blood\n\nsucker.\" The hunter pulled a wooden stake stabbing him in the chest,\n\nAxel's eyes widen falling to the floor blood spilled from his mouth.\n\n\"Axel!\" I cut the hunters left arm off as he jumped back grinning at\n\nme. He pulled a cross chucking it at me. I jumped to the side as he\n\nran for me. He stopped cold in his tracks as he began falling to the\n\nground. \"And that finishes off one more hunter. Thank you Ghost for\n\ngiving me time to cast the death spell.\" She pulled the stake out of\n\nAxel's body as she puled out a bottle dripping blood in his mouth. He began coughing blood\n\nI heard a howl it must be Noah. Now I wonder if it\n\nwas a good howl or a bad one. I looked over at Cortez as she made\n\nAxle's body glow slightly as his wounds closed.\n\nShe healed all wounds he had and looked at me. Axel stood up wobbly\n\nand patted me on the back \"We'll save those love birds.\" I smiled as I\n\nhelped him up the stairs. I saw lots of blood.\n\nNoah\n\nI woke up and saw Ghost and Jay. We're in some type of bar. What\n\nhappened? Oh that's right hunter's stormed our house. I saw Ghost and\n\nsome lady talking. I leaned over to Jay \"Jay what is happened?\" \"Oh\n\nmy name isn't Jay it's Stephen, but you can call me what ever you\n\nwant Noah.\" \"I'll call you Stephen. So what happened?\" The lady spoke\n\na bit louder \"So we'll be splitting up in teams of three. You, Axel,\n\nand me will make one team as the rest make the other team.\" She was\n\ntalking to Ghost, but it didn't seem like he trusted her \"Why don't I\n\njust join them and you three be a team?\" Ghost pointed to her, Axel,\n\nand the person. \"Do you want to save them or complain about the teams?\" I\n\nwonder if Ghost doesn't trust her or how she put things together.\n\nGhost spoke to us \"Very well. Noah, Stephen watch your backs we're\n\ngoing up strong foes. They nearly killed us last time, but this time\n\nwe're ready for them.\" I spoke up \"That's right Ghost we will save\n\nBrian.\" Ghost smiled I wonder what was so funny? We all stood up and\n\nhe spoke \"Let's go save them!\" The lady smiled at us \"Ghost and\n\nRichard are the stealth part going around security. Me and Stephen\n\nwill be support and long distance attackers. While Axel and Noah will\n\nbe the speed in the factor.\" The Richard dude came up to us at least I assume he's Richard. \"We will look for Kino while you three will get Brian.\" \"I'm Brian's guardian I\n\nshould go and save him!\" This could take a while. Ghost is always\n\nwanting to do something like this he probably thinks he's the only one\n\nwho can save him or be near him. I saw Stephen's tail he still had the bell. I never\n\nkilled anyone before. Not even a vampire let alone a human. Ghost\n\nspoke up as reality came into view again. \"Very well let's go and save\n\nthem. Noah, Stephen I am entrusting Brian's safety to you two.\" \"We\n\nwill save him.\"\n\nWe saw the building it seemed huge. I heard Brian's scream he was\n\nscreaming for Kino. He's definitely in there. We ran inside to see a\n\nman who smelled of blood he must be a hunter \"A witch, a ghost, a\n\nshadow, a neko, a wolf, and a vampire.\" He grinned happily \"What a\n\njoyful hunt!\" The lady and Stephen cast a spell sending thunder to\n\nhis way the hunter was blown to the other side of the room. \"You three\n\ngo we will stop this hunter!\" The lady was telling us to go on without\n\nthem. I don't want to, but we need to be strong. I owe Brian he took\n\nme in when my clan banned me from the pack. Even when I miss judged\n\nhim he didn't mind not even for making him bleed or cry. He may not be\n\na wolf, but he does his best to hold his pack...no his family together. I will do my best to protect him. I won't make the same mistake twice.\n\nWe ran up the stairs. Only to be ambushed by more hunters. I heard a\n\nfew whispers \"They beat Alpha? What will we do?\" \"Hush we have more\n\nnumbers than they do we'll just charge at them.\" I looked at Stephen\n\nand Richard \"Their going to charge!\" The second I said these words\n\nthey did charge at us. Stephen made plants grow making a vine wall\n\ngrow in between us. As he began to do a spell. Two swords appeared I\n\ngrabbed one as Richard grabbed the other. A hunter was able to cut\n\ndown the wall as others burned it. Richard had some quick feet.\n\nHe was able to kill two with one swing. I shoved some away. I heard a sword drop behind me I turned quickly around. I saw Stephen grinning, but that grin faded as they surrounded us. They got us in the middle of the room. Crap now what? All of a sudden the building\n\ntrembled. A chunk of the ceiling crushed a few hunters. I looked\n\naround maybe a few ten left. I tossed the sword up and the hunters\n\nlooked up. I shifted and howled loudly they all looked at me as\n\nStephen made a flash blinding most of them. I grabbed the sword with\n\nmy mouth going full speed around cutting their legs off. I felt a few\n\nstabs on my back, but this won't stop me. Their counting on me. Only\n\nthree left. I charged at one of them as they quickly kicked me across\n\nthe face making my drop the sword, and tossing me across the room. He\n\nwalked over to me as I saw Stephen and Richard being pushed into a\n\ncorner. \"Did you really think we wouldn't be ready for a wolf to\n\nattack? You caught a few of us off guard by grabbing that sword with\n\nyour mouth, but that won't work on us. We're the best of the best\n\nhere. We are the three might Black Raven Slayers.\" Black Raven\n\nSlayers? I tried to stand back up, but he kicked me down pressing his\n\nboot on my neck. I saw Stephen trembling in fear and Richard was\n\nprotecting him. This is just like last time... I slowly began closing\n\nmy eyes. I can't even save my friends. What type of wolf am I? I'm too\n\nweak. Just like last time I have to see my friends die in front of me\n\nbeing unable to do anything to stop them. That's when I heard it. A\n\nscream it was faint but I could still hear the words. \"Kino! Noah!\n\nStephen! Ghost! Save me!\" It was Brian's scream. That's right everyone\n\nis doing their best. I bet even Kino is doing his best. I am stronger than before.\n\nI turned back to my human form as the guy lost his footing and\n\nslipped. I shoved him away standing up. I grabbed my sword charging at\n\nhim. I am stronger than him. I swung at him as he blocked it. I did\n\nthis repeatedly at him. He grinned and blocked each one \"Your so\n\npredictable wolf!\" I know I was. Left strike block. Right strike\n\nblock. This was my pattern and I was making sure he get's this pattern\n\ndown. After a while in he knew I was going for the right so he went\n\nleft. I shifted into my wolf form as he aimed for where I once was and\n\nmissed. I jumped up biting his neck ripping his throat out of his\n\nneck. He looked at the others reaching up to them for help. They both\n\nran towards me and I saw that they knocked out Richard and Stephen.\n\nThose bitches! I charged at them this was insane though I barely beat\n\nthis one hunter and now I'm going up ageist two more who have seen my\n\nmoves and will know to watch my moves. I'm going to die now, but at\n\nleast I took one out. They pulled out guns and fired at me they were\n\nusing silver bullets. I stopped cold falling down on my butt as a\n\nbarrier appeared in front of me. I saw it was Ghost, Axel, and the\n\nlady. Axel stabbed one in the back as Ghost jumped in the other one's\n\nbody and walked to the stairs. He came out and kicked him down. I\n\nheard a snap when he stopped falling. Ghost ran to me kneeling down.\n\n\"Hey are you ok Noah?\" I smiled weakly as I felt a small warmth in my\n\nbody. It felt nice \"I am thanks to Brian.\" \"Brian helped! Where is\n\nhe!\" \"I think he may be two more floors up.\" I saw Axel picking up\n\nStephen when something in me just went off. I stood up and grabbed him\n\naway from him \"I'll take him.\" \"What ever floats your boat.\" Ghost\n\nlooked at me \"Are you ok?\" \"Yeah, I'm fine. So like I was saying he's\n\ntwo floor's up.\" \"Then what are we waiting for?\" Ghost ran up the\n\nstairs and we had to prepare for the worst. I wonder how many be left.\n\nKino\n\nI sighed feeling hopeless. They took Brian right under my nose again. I\n\npulled out my ring I was going to give Brian, and for a second I felt\n\nit calling me. I slipped it on my other hand and put my hands together\n\nlooking at them both. \"I might just keep these two and go buy another\n\nring for him.\" Sigh, and at that moment the guy who I thought was dead\n\nstood up \"Do you want to save him?\" I didn't need to think about that\n\nquestion \"I do want to save him.\" He smiled and stood up as the chains fell off his body. \"What do you plan to do with him when you save him?\" \"I....I am going to marry him.\" He touched the other person and looked at me touching my forehead. \"What did you do?\" He smiled \"You will see.\" I looked at the other guy on the floor and he was gone. \"Where did he go?\" He walked over to the door and looked at me. \"Then know this a person is giving you his blessings along with his wife's for your marriage.\" \"What do you mean.\" I got closer to him as he opened the door as he whispered \"Take care of my son.\" the guard turned around he charged for the man and they\n\nbegan to fight I ran past them. They'll keep him farther away from the\n\nentrance, but they will need it to be close to the cage so they know\n\nif he runs he'll come here for me. Then, they'll corner us to make\n\nsure that he won't be able to escape. It will probably mean he's more\n\nup or on the same floor. I went out the room, and saw two stair cases\n\none going up and one going down. I took one step as the man came down\n\nthe stairs and looked at me. \"I see you escaped.\" I took my stance and\n\nlooked at him \"Where's Brian!\" He began to laugh \"He's up these\n\nstairs.\" He motioned his hand to the stairs next to him. \"What's the\n\ncatch?\" He grinned and moved his hands up. I saw daggers flying out of\n\nhis sleeves I jumped to the side. \"Ah I see you're fast.\" I grabbed a\n\ndagger and tossed it back to him. I didn't see him move, but the\n\ndagger fell to the ground. I picked up more sending them at him and it\n\nhappened again. I didn't toss the last one I charged at him with it.\n\nHe pulled a sword blocking it pushing me back with little effort. He's\n\nstronger than me. He picked one up and more came from him. It was his\n\nrobe they were hiding his weapons. He may be old, but he is smart and\n\nfast. I can only guess he is the leader. His grey hair must miss lead\n\nhis opponents. I wonder if he has something under his hat. He began\n\nlaunching more daggers at me when I noticed the dagger I had has poison on it.\n\nI can only guess so do the rest. This is bad I jumped more until he cornered me. \"You are very good at moving you may have been useful if you decide to work for us.\" \"You\n\nkidnap my boyfriend, nearly kill my kids, and you suspect me to\n\njoin you!\" \"I suspected nothing less now good bye boy.\" He sent more\n\ndaggers towards me. All of a sudden my rings glowed brightly.\n\nEverything stopped even his attack, but I could still move. Two angels\n\nappeared next to me. One with black wings and black robe with red\n\nedges. His skin was pale, hair dark as the night sky, eyes red as the\n\nflames of hell, and his very presence made me feel like death was\n\nnear. I looked over at the other angel with white wings. He had golden\n\nblond locks, white skin, but not pale like the other. His robe was\n\nwhite with baby blue edges. His eyes were almost the same color as his\n\nrobe edges. He gave off a safe feeling. Both their robes touched the\n\nground when they landed. I looked at them as they both looked at me\n\n\"Who are you two?\" \"We are now your guardians and we will lend you our\n\npowers and strength.\" \"What's the catch?\" \"Nothing at all.\" \"Very well\n\nthen I accept your offering.\" They both smiled as the daggers began to\n\nmove again as they were disappearing \"Say wing guard.\"\n\n\"Wing guard!\" Two wings appears one black and one white blocking all\n\nthe daggers. \"Feather strike!\" The wings made a giant X\n\nand sent a ball of white and black energy towards him. He jumped out\n\nof the way as it made the building shake the area was destroyed and\n\nthe floor went crashing down. I looked around for him when I heard a\n\nhowl. \"Noah?\" If he's here then so are Ghost, Stephen, and maybe Axel\n\ntoo. I saw the leader grinning at me then he ran up the stairs. \"Hold\n\nit!\" I ran up chasing after him nearly slipping on a dagger. I wasn't\n\nthat far from him. I could hear his footsteps not that far off. Soon\n\nenough I heard footsteps from behind crap. \"Kino wait for us!\" Noah?\n\nDoesn't matter Brian's waiting for me.\n\nI stopped once I was on the next floor looking at five doors. With a\n\nnote in the middle of the room. I picked it up as Noah, Stephen, Axel,\n\nsome dude that looked like Richard from the stripper joint, Ghost, and\n\nMiss Cortez. They filled the room as I read the note \"One of these\n\ndoors leads you to your lover, but the others shall lead you to your\n\ndeath. You can only choose one so choose wisely, and for each second\n\nyou waste the sooner he will die.\" I crumbled the paper and ripped it.\n\n\"Brian!\" I looked at Noah and Ghost. \"Can you tell where he's at?\"\n\nNoah placed Stephen down and smelled the ground. \"No, I can't smell\n\nhim or anyone else.\" \"And, I can't sense him they probably have this\n\nplace so I can't sense him.\" I wanted to scream at them, but I have to\n\ncalm down. That's what Brian will tell me. He will say you don't need\n\nsupernatural powers to know where I am, because we are connect and\n\nthat connection can never be broke. I closed my eyes and felt for this\n\nconnection. I heard Noah \"Kino?\" then Stephen who I guessed woke up\n\n\"Hush Noah he's trying to find him.\" \"But if we can't find him how\n\ndoesn't he suspect to find him?\" \"Well you can't do anything right now\n\nand we have to see if Kino can find him they have been together\n\nforever they probably are connected in a spiritually way.\" \"Fine.\"\n\nThat's the door. \"Brian! I'm coming!\" I ran to the third door opening\n\nit up as the other doors locked. Everyone else followed me. That's\n\nwhere I saw Brian hooked up to a machine. \"Let go of my boy friend!\"\n\nThe man came into view with a girl appearing next to the machine\n\nhitting some buttons. \"Start it!\" \"As you wish master.\" Brian looked\n\nat the girl \"You know you don't need to do this you can quit now.\" The\n\ngirl grinned at Brian as he began to scream in pain. All of the blood\n\nin my body just boiled. \"Stop it!\" I ran forward as a cage went down on me. Glass all around so I can see Brian in pain. I was trapped. Everyone screamed \"Kino!\" \"Forget about me and go\n\nsave Brian!\" I looked at Brian as water began to pour down on my head.\n\n\"What!\" They wanted to drown me. Brian began to scream more \"Kino!\"\n\nMy heart banged heavily. I felt something building inside me.\n\nI felt a sudden pull away as I appeared where the man was standing.\n\n\"What happened?\" Everyone looked at me and then back to the tank. The\n\nman was there pounding at the glass. The girl pulled out a needle\n\npressing it ageist his arm. \"Move and I'll kill him.\" I reached for\n\nhim as I felt his hand touching mine. I smiled at him, and felt that\n\nenergy again. All of a sudden me and Brian where in the water. The man\n\nwas in the machine Brian was hooked up too. \"Betty disconnect me\n\nbefore it...\" \"Master!\" The girl ran to the machine and began hitting\n\nbuttons intensely. \"Hey Kino...\" \"Shh your still weak.\" He smiled\n\nslightly as the other began trying to brake the glass. I felt the top\n\nhitting my head as I touched Brian's cheek kissing him. He kissed back\n\nand fainted. Our faces began touching the top I took a deep breath\n\nbring Brian down. I kissed him as I gave him my air. He needs to\n\nsurvive. Everything began to go dark. Ugh...Brian held my hand tightly\n\nand didn't let go, and nether will I. I won't let you go Brian I will always be here for you.\n\n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Bonds of Love series","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/608375-bonds-of-love-14.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/608561-bonds-of-love-16.json"}}
