Anders stopped in the middle of a forested area. His body was in pure agony and couldn't bare to take another step.

"I can't stop now." He thought as he stood there panting. He took a step mbele and winced at the pain his muscles sent out. "God how long have i been running?" He alisema out loud as he sat down to think He counted the amount of times he saw the moon and the sun. "Dear god... I have been running for four days straight..." As he realized the time that went kwa his stomach growled menacingly. "With no food...I guess I have every reason to be tired."

He was still angry with himself for not being able to go longer. He got up again fighting through the pain. He walked a little ways when he noticed a large rabbit zip past him. HIs stomach growled at the sight of it and he began to chase after. His hunger seemed to have numbed the pain of his muscles because he caught up to the rabbit quicker then he had ever had in his life. The rabbit had no chance as Anders pounced on it and killed it. He picked up his prize kwa the ears and took it back to a clearing.

"Not much, but I guess it'll have to do for now." alisema Anders as he set his chakula down. He laid down to get comfortable. Before he could begin to ear he heard rustling from the kichaka near him. Anders quickly got to his feet and took a fighting stance. Before he knew it a slim figure ran through the bush, past Anders, and took the rabbit kwa the ears and ran off. "You son of a.." Anders began to run before he could finish.

Anders picked up the Lost distance between him and the thief quickly, and was soon side kwa side. The thief turned sharply before Anders could get a snap at his neck. Anders growled and set off into the brush.

The thief looked back and noticed he wasn't being followed anymore. He stopped and dropped the rabbit at his feet to catch his breath. He felt victory and began to chuckle. "Looks like I win again."

"I wouldn't be so sure about that." Anders yelled as he tackled the slim thief. The two wrestled until Anders overpowered the other. As the other struggled to get free, Anders finally got a good look at the thief.

"You little thieving piece of....didn't mother always tell wewe that there's no honor in a thieves work?" The thief stopped struggling as he realized Anders' voice.

"Anders?...Is that really you?"

"Yeah it's me wewe little runt! Now tell me what your deal is about dishonoring the family name like this before I claw your insides out."

He laughed, "Same old Anders, empty threats as always."

Anders picked up the slim mbwa mwitu kwa the neck and threw him against a nearby tree. Knocking the breath out of him.

"Don't seem so empty now do they Zane?"

Zane stumbled to his feet and struggled to catch his breath. "Calm down Anders! wewe know I wouldn't last long fighting you!"

"Probably should've thought of that before wewe ran off without telling anyone."

"You're still sore about that?"

"Yeah I'm still sore about it. So is everyone else."

"Well I could really care less about them."

Anders angered his look and yelled, "You better let go of that feeling Zane!"

"Why is that? Are wewe here to bring me back to that god forsaken valley?" Zane alisema laughing. Anders didn't budge and Zane soon caught on and stopped laughing, "Oh wewe can't be serious Anders."

"If wewe listen to me for a second."

"No! Screw wewe man! You'll have to drag me back there!" Anders raised his eyebrow and Zane soon realized who he was talking to, "Um...I mean."

Anders growled and ran at Zane for another tackle, but Zane saw it coming and was able to dodge Anders' attack. "You lucky little pup!" Anders yelled.

"Oh come on! I'm surprised wewe didn't see that coming Anders!"

Anders went for another attack but this time he wanted his brother to dodge him. When Zane sidestepped to the right, Anders quickly bit down on his back left leg and threw him at a large rock. Before Zane could regain footing Anders slammed him into the rock again with his shoulder. Zane fell to the ground in pain.

"ALright Anders wewe got me bea- *cough*..." Before Zane could finish Anders took him kwa the neck and started to drag him.

"Ok Anders! I'm done! I'm ready to listen so please let me go."

"Are wewe sure? Because there's a nice little cliff over here that I saw a little while ago."

Zane looked through the clearing and saw the cliff's edge coming closer into view.

"Very funny Anders! wewe can stop now I get it!"

"You really don't sound like wewe mean it." Anders alisema as he approached the edge.

"No I mean it Anders! *yelp*" Anders held Zane over the cliff kwa the scruff of his neck in his mouth.

"ANDERS! PLEASE STOP! THIS ISN'T FUNNY!"

"Really? Cause I'm getting a kick out of it."

"GOD DANG IT ANDERS I'LL DO ANYTHING!"

"Anything huh?"

"YES!"

"Say that you're sorry that wewe left the pack without telling anyone."

"WHAT!?"

Anders loosened his grip.

"OK! OK!" Zane stopped and took a deep breath. "I'm sorry I left you...Dad and mom...and the pack without wewe guys knowing!"

"You mean that?"

"YEAH NOW PULL ME BA..." Anders threw his brother behind him before he could finish. Zane landed with a thud and moaned.

"God Anders are wewe crazy!" Zane yelled as Anders walked pass him with a smirk across his face. Zane followed him close behind back to where they left the rabbit.

"Hey Anders, it's getting late and my pango is close by. WHy don't we go there for the night? Then wewe can tell me why wewe came all this way just to track me down."

Anders picked up his rabbit and nodded, so they both went back to Zane's den. Zane took some chakula from his stash and they both ate. The sun began to set when they finished.

"Alright so are wewe going to tell me why they want me back at that stupid valley?"

"The valley is gone Zane."

Zane looked at his brother in shock and seemed to change his attitude towards the valley. "WHAT!? HOW!? WHEN!?"

"We were run out kwa northern and southern wolves. Apparently they became buddies and decided that we needed to give them out land to support their needs. They attacked the valley six days zamani and we didn't see it coming..."

"Why do wewe need me though?"

"I was sent to find you, Ryker, and Blaze to bring wewe guys back and fight alongside us. We are the only hope for the pack since we're the strongest."

Zane thought for a little and looked at the sunset. He sighed deeply and looked back at Anders.

"I'll help wewe find the others and bring them back. I owe wewe that much."

Anders nodded and watched the sun vanish on the horizon. The beauty of the sunset reminded him of his mother and Faith. He began to tear up but stopped himself because he didn't want to cry in-front of his brother. He laid his head on the ground and yawned.

"Well we better get some sleep for tomorrow, and since we're going to be traveling for a while we should catch up some. First thing wewe need to tell me about is how wewe got that scar on your leg. Goodnight Anders."

"Goodnight Zane." Anders replied and smiled. "Nothing has changed about him. Same little skinny omega." Anders thought to himself as he fell asleep.
