(Altheria April 3 580 Imperial Calander time 2:30 p.m.)

(Amelia Woods POV)

*Slap!*

"(Glare) Why would you use such a disgusting thing on such a small and innocent creature!?"(Amelia)

"(Flabbergasted) I-I-I ah I-I just wanted to g-give you something to make you happy."(Matt)

*Snatch*

"(Glare) I'm anything but happy. Who would put such an awful thing, like this on such a small creature?!"(Amelia)

"I uh I."(Matt)

"(Eye role) You can't even come up with an excuse for your shitty actions. At least Cris wouldn't cower like you. Hmph. *Step step step step*"(Amelia)

*Mouth agape*

----------------------------------------

(Amelia's room)

"*Sigh* Fucking asshole. Now first priority is to get this damn thing off you. This is going to hurt a bit, sorry."(Amelia)

*Click*

*Yelp whimper*

"Ahg! Ugh"(Pup)

"(Sympathetic) Haa poor thing."(Amelia)

"Ugh no!"(Pup)

"(Shake) Hey. Hey, wake up."(Amelia)

"Mmm, *Blink blink* what happened?"(Pup)

It started to look around but, stiffened up and started growling when it saw me.

"(Glare) *Grrr* What do you want human?"(Pup)

"Nothing. It's just that you looked like you were in pain, so I woke you up."(Amelia)

"Huh!? How can it understand me? And how can I understand it? Only Rina can do that. Am I ju-"(Pup)

"(Curious) Who's Rina?"(Amelia)

"Yep, it can understand me, and I can understand it."(Pup)

"Hey, are you going to respond or are you going to keep mumbling to yourself?"(Amelia)

"(Glare) Why should I? You're the ones who killed our families. And you took Rina and hid her. And how are we even talking? Cause last I checked humans can't understand us and we can't understand you. Well beside Rina."(Pup)

"Well, I can't help you if I don't know who or what I'm trying to find. And I can understand you and you me is because of my unique skill."(Amelia)

"(Confused head tilt) A what?"(Pup)

"Hmm, it's a special type of skill that is nearly impossible to get."(Amelia)

"Ooh, it's that. A while ago my parents told me about a skill like that."(Pup)

"Really!? Do you know who had it?!"(Amelia)

"(Backs up) Y-Yeah, they said the leader had a skill like that. But, from what I remember they called it a racial unique skill. Whatever that means."(Pup)

"(Curious) Did they tell you anything else about the skill? And who's your leader?"(Amelia)

"Our current leader is Rina; our former leader was named Leah and the one before her was Uncle Caesar."(Pup)

"What happened to Caesar and why is Leah your former leader."(Amelia)

"Well, Uncle Caesar wanted to stay as leader, after Leader and him got together but, he was beaten to a pulp by Leader. Well, at least that's what I was told. This all happened like 100 years ago, so I don't know if it's true or not. (Gloomy) And Leader and Uncle Caesar were killed, along with big cousin Cole, Carey, Lyra, and Lucas. Leaving Rina as the only living of Leader's family."(Pup)

"Why do you call them uncle and cousin?"(Amelia)

"Well Uncle Caesar is Mom's older brother. A-"(Pup)

"No need to continue I can guess the rest. Do you know anything else about the skill?"(Amelia)

"Well Mom said that whoever between my cousins ended up taking over the pack when Leader died would get the skill and a title called [Clan Leader]."(Pup)

"Do you know why?"(Amelia)

"Nope."(?)

"Can you tell me about Rina?"(Amelia)

"(Unsure) I guess. But that human was the one who took her. I don't know what happened, but I could smell her scent on him. Also, where are the other 9?"(Pup)

"(Confused) Other 9 what?"(Amelia)

"(Panicked) The other pups!"(Pup)

"(Depressed) Oh. Them. They're ...dead."(Amelia)

"(Frozen) What? W-What did you say?"(Pup)

"*Teary-eyed* I said they were killed by Matt! I heard him bragging about leveling by killing the strongest wolves and a bunch of pups. I got pissed and went to confront him then he showed me you and I got even more pissed and ended up taking you and leaving."(Amelia)

*Drip Drip Drip*

"Waah! *Sniffle* N- No! Why!? (Enraged) Why did you kill them!? We did nothing to you, stupid humans! We only lived in our territory without leaving or attacking! No one cared about what you did! We just wanted to be left alone!

But you stupid humans just had to attack us! We never overhunted or expanded! We just lived peacefully in our own territory! A-And you attacked us because of your stupid greed! *Sniffle* Waaah!"(Pup)

"(Softly) Hey it's ok."(Amelia)

"Shut up! I don't want to hear you saying that! You, humans, killed all of us! For what!? Because some idiot was too lazy to actually try and hunt on his own!? We never attacked or posed a threat to you humans, yet you attacked us for no reason!

And to make it worse you killed my friends and brother for what?! A stupid level or two!? None of us had any real power! That's why big cousin Lyra was protecting us!"(Pup)

"I'm sorry."(Amelia)

"I don't want to hear your sorrys! I want them back! *Sniffle* I just want my normal life back."(Pup)

"I-"(Amelia)

"Just stop. I don't want to hear your apologies. You weren't even a part of the people who killed them. (Sorrowful Smile) You're the one who helped me. What am I going to do now? My home is gone. My family is dead, and Rina is missing."(Pup)

"I thi-"(Amelia)

"She's not dead! I just know it. She's not dead. I just need to find her. But how? I'm too weak to even try."(Pup)

"(Nervous) Um, you could form a contract with me, and we can look together."(Amelia)

"*Narrows eyes* And why should I trust you?"(Pup)

"(Nervous) U-Um well there isn't much you can do alone a-and I can have a contract. Y-You can also decline during the contract formation if you don't like what is offered."(Amelia)

"Hmm, ok."(Pup)

"(Excited) Great! Then let's do it. Oh, right do you have a name?"(Amelia)

"*Shakes head* No."(Pup)

"Ok then you'll get one during the contract. *Deep breath out* [Do you, who stand before me accept to help and protect me in my goals in exchange for my help and protection in your goal?]"(Amelia)

"I do."(Pup)

"[Consent has been given. I shall grant you the name [Bella]. And with this the contract is sealed]."(Amelia)

*Flash*

"Do you feel any different?"(Amelia)

"No, not really. I mean I can feel the contract but, that's it."(Bella)

"*Sigh* That's a relief. I don't know what would have happened if I did the contract wrong."(Amelia)

"(Shocked) You mean this could have gone wrong!? And you didn't tell me!"(Bella)

"*Looks away* W-Well this is my first time making this kind of contract so..."(Amelia)

"(Unamused) So basically you were gambling on what would happen."(Bella)

"Pretty much. But, but it all worked out just fine, right? So, no hard feelings?"(Amelia)

"I guess you're right."(Bella)

"Phew. So, what now?"(Amelia)

"I don't know. You're the one in charge right now. So, I'll just follow your lead. Well, as long as I don't have to meet the human who killed everyone."(Bella)

"Then how about you go to the sub-space for now?"(Amelia)

"Sure. Call me if you need me."(Bella)

"Sure thing. {Open a path so that my contract may rest.} [Summon sub-space]"(Amelia)
