48 The Brothers Decision

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.

He threw the body towards the other weaker wolf who had also tried to jump onto his back.

The wolf dodged the body that landed right by his feet, the stronger wolves continued their assault.

A few wounds were placed onto the tigers body as he was growing tired, the wolves had suffered a few injuries themselves but luckily it was nothing life threatening.

One of the stronger wolves had been circling around the old tiger with caution, a rustling sound came from behind him.

There lay a smaller tiger behind a tall tree who had arrived back in time to help out.

He waited for an opportunity, since the wolves were so focussed on the old tiger he waited behind the tree and kept himself hidden.

When the wolf got close as it was circling the old tiger, the younger tiger began his ambush.

He jumped out from his cover and jumped onto the back of the wolf and bit down on the back of its neck.

The wolf let out a shriek as he felt the jaws locked around his neck did his best to keep his body from falling to the ground.

He knew if he fell his life would be in the tigers grasp.

Shifting his body weight forward, the tiger fell off his body and took a big bite of flesh from him during his fall.

At the back of the wolfs neck revealed bone, blood and flesh after the tiger fell to the ground.

This wound was quite serious and a moment of carelessness almost cost him his life.

He was deeply enraged!

This brat almost took his life, the wolfs eyes turned blood red as he charged at the fallen tiger who quickly stood back up.

The little tiger watched his opponent approach and he became more focussed and serious.

He had failed to kill his opponent and now he could only try his best to buy his elder some time to deal with the other wolves.
