We followed Asuka's scent to this litle cabin. I felt uneasy as we neared it. It didn't seem like the normal cabin in the woods like in fairytale stories. I opened the door to the cabin, not really expecting to find anyone in it, but I was wrong.
"Asuka!" I shouted. A man moved in front of her and pulled out a knife. I frowned. Who was this guy? But obviously Asuka trustd him enough. She didn't look like she was in any realy danger. There was something in her eyes that said she wanted to be here with him.
I heared Koy growl and turned to find his ears pulled back and his hair stanading up on end. He was just trying to protect us from the man; Ko felt threatened. But he didn't know Asuka like I did.
"N-No! Th-this is Alex! He's my brother!" Asuka said and went to stand in front of him to prove her point.
"Move." Koy growled, his eyes locked on the knife. He steeped forward and then sprang at the stranger.
"NO!" Asuka cried. The man pushed her out the way and held his knife out. The knife pierced Koy's shoulder, and I wanted to help, but I didn't want to hurt anyone. Koy, ignoring the pain, knocked the man down with his weight and bit his shoulder.
"Koy! Stop!" I called as I ran over to his side. But, while Koy was distracted the stranger kicked him off of him.
"Stay out of this! If someone threatens you you attack!" Koy growled showing off his fangs. He turned to the man, "Come on...You can't be done yet."
"And I'm not!" He yelled and ran at Koy.
You stupid idiot! I thought. I had had enough of this silly business. I shoved Koy to the side, letting the man tackle me to the ground. I used his momentum to roll us over so that I was on top of him. As a tiger, I was pretty heavy; he wasn't going anywhere.
"If I let you go, will you quit attacking us?" I asked.
He struggled under me. "How do I trust the coyote?" his eyes stared daggers into my head.
I turned to Koy, "Are you done showing off?" I asked him.
Koy didn't answer, just looked away. I released him, turning human as I did, and he took advantage and threw me off of him. Because I was lighter, I went farther than what he expected and I hit my head on the wall behind us. I fell to my knees, clutching my head.
Koy rushed over to my side. He obviously wanted to stick together while we were here. He didn't trust the stranger, and at this point, neiter did I.
Asuka rushed over to me, kneeling at my side. "A-are you o-ok?" she asked, worry clear in her eyes.
I nodded, but the pain made me stop and settled on a "yes." I stood, ignoring the pain. "Asuka, how do you know this guy?" I asked.
"Th-this is A-Alex. M-my b-brother," she told me.
I frowned. This was her brother? He seemed a lot different than what I had imagined.
