48 The Brothers Decision (1/2)

The group of tigers escaped from the wolves and continued to run until they were no longer in sight, some of them had tears in their eyes and others looked extremely resentful.

”I am going back.” Spoke the brother as he glanced towards the others.

The sister let out a shriek. ”No! You can't go! You will die… Elder told us to run!”

The brother sighed before shaking his head with a determined look. ”The elder is at the end of his life so I don't think he can last too long on his own against a pack of wolves even with his strength. At least if I am there it will hold them off just a little longer. Use that time to get as far away as possible.”

”Why? Why must you be the one to go?” The little sister did not want to lose her brother too, she was sure her mother and father had already been killed so what would she do if she lost her brother too?

”I'm sorry, it has to be me. This mess started with me and I will be the one to make sure it ends with me.” The brother blamed himself heavily for what was happening.

He kneeled before his clan members looking deeply ashamed of himself. ”I'm so sorry everyone, please take care of my sister on my behalf. I will be going now.”

His figure stood back up and turned around running back towards where the battle was happening without looking back.

”No! Nooooo! Don't leave! Wuwuwu….” The sister began to try chase after him but was pulled back by the clan members.

She clawed at the ground to pull herself in his direction but something hit the back of her neck knocking her unconscious.

One of the older tigers sighed as he placed her onto another tigers back and gazed at her sorry figure, her glistening tears dripping from her face as she lay there peacefully.

The elderly tiger was deeply enraged when facing the group of wolves, he charged giving them no time to make any plans.

He targeted the old wolf with a swipe of his claws but the attack barely missed its target, the old wolf grew even more cautious towards the tiger upon just barely escaping death.

The other wolves began their attacks trying similar tactics to what they did to the other tigers and the weaker wolves jumped onto the tigers back.

Watching their attacks the tiger snorted in contempt. ”Think these tricks will work on me huh?”

He shifted his body weight, placing his front paw onto the ground and kicked his back legs forcing the older wolf to retreat further.

He quickly turned back towards one of the weaker wolves and grabbed it within his jaws.

He held the body within his mouth as he sunk his teeth into its body and it let out a shriek.
