"Kera! Its your father! He needs to speak with you!"
Even from a distance, any Forgotten could recognize the voice of our weakest link. Bron struggled through the sharp, twisted thorns, obeying his sisters orders to find me. I closed my eyes, trying to shut his irritating voice out... But the loud howls echoed through my bones.
I could not keep Arron waiting any longer.
Bron opened his small mouth to yell out my name again, but I shouted back in a demanding tone, "Go home, Bron! And tell Alexis-" My best friends name came out in a savage snarl, "-that I don't give a rats ass!"
"If there are any rats here anyways..." Bron sniffed, looking around at the dead trees around him, "Nothing lives here but us." Another sniff, "Except The Plague of course..."
I let loose another volley of snarls and curses, "The Plague? Alive?!" A stepped out from the shadows, and already my features were fierce enough to have Bron cowering in fear.
"Get Moving Maggot-Breath!" I growled darkly, "Before I squash you like the chicken you are!" Usually, a Forgotten member wouldn't take a threat so seriously- but Bron, being himself, let out a frightened *Yipe!* Before turning on his heals, tail tucked tightly between his legs, and senses totally focused on the light of camp. I let out a grunt and turned around, thinking of returning to the base of the dead tree I had been resting by. But I was right- Alex was right -I had let my father wait too long. It was about time I went to see him... For the final time.
As I pad through the many mangled roots and branches, I find myself thinking of our world and what it use to be before the final dusk and the disasters that followed, such as The Plague...
I growled menacingly to myself, anger pulsing through my veins. It was The Plague that turned the wolves into dust- The Plague which caused my mother and younger sibling to die, and leave my father weak and vulnerable in our camp! I curse the day Lupin decided to reign all mighty hell on our lands- washing its pores clean of nearly everything that breathed!
I grunted, fuming but calming down. Right, and then theirs us. Wolves nearly being the last organisms on earth... What does that make us? Lucky...?
I chuckled darkly to myself, swallowing the thoughts as easily as they had come.
Right, lucky. And yet we seem to be stuck on a god forsaken planet- No water, no food, and being hunted ourselves by giant, mutated demons spawned from the darkest pits of hades!
I shook my head in disgust, before looking up, realizing my paws had already lead me to the Den. Our Camp use to be one of our most beloved positions, set on a green hill-side surrounded by rocky slopes and fallen trees... Now, it was nothing but a dusty ravine that had been made from a fissure in the earth, which had opened up and sunk our den deep into the ground. Our only strong line of protection were the large, piercing tips of thorns from over-sized brambles covering the top, back and entrance into the Valley.
I took one glance around at the dead trees and hard, dirt ground before sighing miserably and sliding underneath a small whole in the brambles.
Home sweet home.

Characters- and a quick description of my Book! =)
~The following paragraphs will be of the first book in my Series- Final Dusk. If anybody hasn't caught on yet, the Main character is in fact a wolf xD, and will be told from her point of view. Wolves have always sparked my curiosity out of the rest of the animals on our planet, making it an easy decision to decide which species would star in my first Book Series! (The Warning for Adult Content, is because my books will have in-appropriate language, and other content not advised for anyone too young! Id probably rate it 14A.)~
The Plot: Ive decided to make it so the First book in the series is sort of a Memory Flash of what happened to Kera and her pack Before the world was almost destroyed =3. Instead of just doing a whole bunch of flash-backs, I have settled for her describing her past and only adding a bit of information of the present on the beginning and ending of the First Book. Not so many characters are here in this book, since Kera's pack has been left with so little members, after the incidents involving the worlds 'near' destruction. There are many spoiler events I could write in to give you a better idea- but, of course, that would make the whole point of this story ruined xD. SO, here are a few descriptions of some of the main wolves in the book. =D
(These descriptions are for the wolves in the first book only! They will not stay like this through-out the whole series!)
Characters (Protagonist):
Kera~ A pitch black she-wolf with dangerous, ice blue eyes. Kera has a BIG thing for back-talking or making retorts / threats, which obviously gets her in trouble allot of the time from her father, the Alpha of the Forgotten. She is bigger then most males in the pack, and loves to pick fights. She always has a sour attitude and a curtain of hate and loss cloaking around her- making her more lethal then even her father when in battle. Is mourning the loss of her mother and younger brother, which is probably why she doesnt easily warm up to anybody. Uses foul language more then even the show-off twins, Nico and Flora, and since her father is Alpha it leaves her as Heir to the Forgotten.
Characters (Antagonist):
-There is no true Antagonist in this story. It could possibly by wolf VS environment, wolf VS self, or wolf VS super-natural. The more prominent enemies of the Antagonist would be The Plague and the Prophets. There are also opposing packs, but they have either been infected with The Plague, or by a Prophets fake visions-
Characters (Other Members of the Forgotten Pack):
Alexis~ A real fighter like Kera- Alexis is Keras best friends, and you can almost always find the two together. Alexis has a smooth, silver pelt with a white streak running from her muzzle, down her neck, across her back and to the tip of her tail. Her lower legs are also white, and her eyes are an alluring gold. She has a little brother in the pack named Bron, who she annoys and teases, but loves to pieces- even acting like his personal guardian sometimes. Is very tough, but not nearly as large or strong as Kera, tho their minds are both filled with battle-lust! Even if her and Kera are more alike then anyone else, Alex still feels love and trust- which Kera has no intention of ever showing!
Bron~ A very shy, timid brown wolf with black fur where his sister, Alexis, has white. Unlike Alex, Bron is very quiet and stays as far from battle as possible- which is probably how he was awarded the role of Omega! Is sometimes teased for having eyes with different colors (Left one is a vibrant, lime green while the right one is a soft, baby blue). Whenever somebody starts getting to serious with the teasing, and starts hurting him, he knows he can count on his sister to protect him- tho sometimes she acts to much like a mother then a sister... Wishes he could be braver and stand up for himself.
Chase~ A young, fun-loving wolf who is adored by all in the pack (Except the dynamic-trouble twins, Nico and Flora...). His pelt is an earthy brown, with black fur covering his lower legs, and the tip of his tail and ears. Can be very sarcastic, and likes to joke around allot. Luckily, His sarcasm and disliking of Nico and Flora earn him high points on Keras list, making him an official part of her small group. Though he would never admit it, he loves Kera despite her behaviour and his teasing, and hopes someday he'll work up the nerve to ask her to be his mate.
Arron~ Alpha of the Forgotten and Keras Father. He is the total opposite of his daughter, having a pure white pelt and intimidating yellow eyes. He is tied in height with Kera, but like everyone else, not even he can match her strength and endurance. Is quiet and kind-hearted to those in his pack, which gives him a very respected reputation. Other then inside the Forgotten members, outsiders, strangers, or even to others packs, he sometimes seems dangerous as his gold eyes burn furiously in deep contemplation...
Nico~ A white wolf with black spots and hazel brown eyes, that despises weak or vulnerable wolves- even though he technically is one himself! Tied with Kera, he is one of Arrons favourites out of the pack. He was actually a straggler himself when he joined, covered in blood and saying his family betrayed him (except for his sister, Flora, who joined with him). Arron took him in, and raised him almost as he would a son. Now, Nico looks at the other Forgotten as lower ranks, and considers Kera a threat to his own reputation- and his chance to become leader of the Forgotten. Hes a snob, and hardly anyone other than Arron actually like him at all! He was given his name by Arron, to be their lucky victory idol in the pack- which just made him boast all the more! Nobody knows how far he'll go to become the new Heir- which is why Kera is always watching her back...
Flora~ Just like her older brother, Nico, Flora is a complete and udder dolt, who thinks the world does, or should, evolve around her! She knows most people despise her for acting so stuck-up, but instead of getting mad or feeling depressed, she just shines all the brighter- knowing she can run to Arron if anything goes wrong. Hates the idea of Kera becoming the next Alpha, and will do almost anything to make sure her brother becomes Heir instead of her! Also has a white pelt like her brothers, but instead of small spots all over, she has a few large patches of black fur (Her pelt is also said to smell like flowers- which is where she got her name from). Her eyes are a lighter brown then her brothers, and have flecks of gold in them.
Silva~ A gorgeous, quiet white she-wolf with a shimmering silver back and head, and her eyes a dark, ocean-blue. She is a little bit younger then Kera and Alexis, but still says she has fallen in love with Nico. She doesn't like anyone telling her she is making the worst decision of her life, believing Nico has good deep inside him, and keeps saying one day she'll ask to be his mate. Is very curious and shy, and spends lots of time with Nice and Flora- tho she is never rude or mean! Loves the forest and flowers, and feels calm when near plants.
Luna~ The last remaining Oracle of all the wolves, this old she-wolf is very snappy, meaning her bark is WAY worse then her bite! As a travelling Oracle, she usually visits all the Packs, but spends most time with the Forgotten, for she has taken a fondness of the young Kera. She is extremely wise, and nobody has ever doubted her fortunes or predictions. Though hardly anyone knows anything about her, many have made up their own myths such as saying she is hundreds of years old, or that she is from Wolf paradise, or even that she herself is a direct descendant from the Wolf God, Lupin. The old wolf has a pure white coat, much whiter then any other, with peach or light orange flecks across the top of her pelt. Also has the same, Ice blue eyes as Kera does...
