I woke up in an even tinier body than before,but this one was at least fully nourished and without scars.
When wasn't I marred by abuse,by pain ,by other wolves.
When I was a kid. Due to werewolf customs nobody was allowed to lay a hand on me and the tribe had to provide and protect me. So that's why I still have smooth soft skin,healthy clean hair and soft supple lips.
I looked around and saw the gathering of other anxious,scared pre-teens.
Seems that safety will soon be removed
"The trial will soon start,this challenge that I'll transform you from pups to responsible. I warn you that this will also determine your status in the tribe."announced the chief with his Blue eyes
He gazed at me from across the room "May the strong prosper and the weak return to the earth,I expect to see warriors after this."
"You may commence the trial."
The guards then took us outside of our safe little settlement and out into the dark,chilly first "From today onwards you shall not return to these gates,you will be left to survive on your own."
They then closed the entrance to the tribal home
The whining that echoed after those words was exactly as I remembered.
Soon one brave wolf exited the crowd and walked towards the still closing doors.
Before he could finish his tenth step he was skewered like roasted swine.
Silence soon dominated the area as even the loudest of us couldn't muster the courage to speak as blood died the soil around us.
Poor tlotlo layed there lifeless after the guards kicked him off the spear
"This is will be the fate of all who
tries to return to these gate" he flicked his spear and the fresh,warm blood splattered on the faces of the unfortunate little ones In front.
Even after the guards left, most of them stayed frozen in shock and grief,staring at the despaired on tlotlo's graying face
I took a few steps back to revisit my plans
It seems the past is completely and utterly unchanged, this time I won't be the Rutt of the pack, I'll get my revenge on this whole tribe starting from the children
Those who stood by and watched during my torture are at fault as much as those who tortured me
During the day I'll hunt and during the night I'll progress towards supremacy.Of course that powerfull exile didn't teach me any method to grow stronger.
The main reason I believe in the supremacy nonsense is because there's no way that monstrosity would waste his time. It's obvious he lacks patience with mortals by his treatment of me.
Another reason is the strenght displayed by the humans and the horror I felt when next to that weird guard.
I'm this calm because erupting into a tantrum would be an utter waste of time and energy.
My anger should be better directed into becoming superior to him and some day teaching him some manors
Now I should leave before the immature little babies attract something dangerous
I stood in front of the corpse and said "I'll take him and give him a proper burial."
The next day
I started the tread to find the cave I'd stayed in during my last life.
Just like I remember.
Past a grove of vines,beneath an old oak tree and past a wall of thorn bushes using a slope besides it as an alternative route past the painful blood drawers all while carrying my Sach of wet stones.
This scent,it seems my actions have already started to change history as lebogo and his lackeys are following me.
During my last life I wasn't attacked by he and his entourage until the second month.
There it is, across the swamp filled with slumbering crocodiles there's a safe haven hidden between rocks.
"Snap."
It seems these dimwits failed to enact their plan last time because I was about as shocked as the rest of the other cubs.
Time to start the show.
I started sprinting away.
"Mohatla I told you the little shit would run,now you owe me a lamb leg."
"Hey silver eyes,stop there and we won't kill you."
"Both of you, stop and chase him down."
And so mohatla and mosela started chasing me down.
While they were talking I'd been taking stones from the sach and launching them at them .
That'll delay them for long enough.
I jumped over a root and took a sharp left without dropping any of my stones.
I heard mohatla hit the tree behind me.
One down, two to go.
I could basically hear and feel the grunting of mosela down my throat to me
So I jumped ,grapped a branch and started climbing a tree
One disadvantage of being a healthy werewolf is even at this age you're too heavy to climb a tree using this method
the fool called his two friends
Seeing that I was cornered the ring leader Lebogo finally came out of his hiding spot
"Listen here silver eyes, as long as you give us good every week I swear on Khoeli's name that we won't beat you up."
This bastard really had to mention him. Forget mercy,these gremlins have to die now.
I peered down at them and threw two fat birds at them.
"Hey boss,it looks like he's trying to why us to kill him."exclaimed mosela.
"If that's what he'd rather happen to him." Lebogo then walked away.
Tsk arrogant bastard,daring to leave me alone with the smallest of all of them.
Time to show these pups what a werewolf can really do.
I threw a stone at mosela and hit him with a drop kick as he was distracted.
Of course his ogre of a brother appeared immediately after.
Of course this buffoon started recklessly swinging his claws at me.
If we were just the same size I would rush in and obliterated him, but he's way more lengthy than I am and even him recklessly swinging means he's out of my reach.
As I ducked underneath his arms and was about to land a hit,I slipped cause of some loose soil.
Luckily I was trying to hit him during that mishape or else I would've been slashed to next week.
I started guiding him into rotating positions with me.
And just as I planned,he made a reckless swing and slipped.
I wasn't going to let this opportunity go so I kicked him into the river.
I disposed of his little brother into the river as well
Now all I have to do is wake the monsters inside
So I slit part of my wrist and let it bleed into the river this sending the Crocs into a frenzy.
Soon the crocodiles were successfully roused and the other predators started to prowl their territories and rush towards the stones soaked in blood.
Thank god for tlotlo.
If not for his bravery I wouldn't be able to get enough blood to entice carnivores to enter each other's territories.
All the predators were on the prowl with this many pups about.what else could happen in this scenario.
I hummed "As the chief said may the strong thrive and may the weak perish."
The whole forest is celebrating my parade and the young pups are my main attraction.
Now I've taken the first step towards revenge,the predator parade.
May the blood of that bastard's followers cleanse me of any and all weaknesses .
