Rebels

Sako shoved his shoulder against the edge of the pit for what seemed like the millionth time. He was weakening in body, but strengthening in spirit. If he could just get those guards to leave he might be able to get out of here. He could get back, talk to Hikari maybe, and get the revolution against the tribal wolves started! He stepped back a few steps and lunged again, throwing the whole weight of his shoulder against it. Pain suddenly seared through his leg and he gritted his teeth, staggering back.
"Agh," he muttered. He had landed full on a sharp point in the walls. He tested his weight on the leg. He could stand easily. Luckily it wasn't going to stay painful--it was only a bruise. He glanced up subtly and saw the guards watching him and muttering to themselves. A plan formed swiftly in Sako's mind and he tested his leg again, this time yelping shrilly and falling onto his haunches, pretending to whimper in pain. This caused even more muttering between the two guards, as well as evil smirks and grins. Sako made a great show of not being able to use that leg, getting up and whimpering and then yelping when he even bumped it. 
"Hah. He can't do anything now, he's even more hepless. It's not like he can get out anyway." one guard said to the other two.
"Yeah, come on, I'm starved. Lets grab some elk or something." the other growled. The third one stayed beside the pit though.
"No, we shouldn't. If Karuso or Oki knew-"
"Oki and Karuso aren't here!" the first speaker turned and snarled, cuffing the wolf on the side of the face.
"You're scared of little, bitty, runt Oki?" the second wolf said, his eyes glittering with malice.
"I-I'll tell Oki how you two haven't been following orders to watch the p-pit..." he almost whispered. This was the wrong thing to say. Sako had stopped yelping and whining and had paused in the shelter of a area in the shadows where he could watch them.
"Well, we can't have that can we?" the first wolf, Rouge shook his head in mock sympathy. Tasho, the second wolf nodded, his ears flat down in mock sadness and dispairing sympathy.
"We can't have you scared by the little runty pup, can we, Kra? No, no." Tasho joined in, moving in towards Kra. Even though his face showed sadness, his eyes showed murder. Sako felt himself grow sick watching the wolves turn on each other.
Kra's legs were shaking. His eyes had turned to pure fear.
"L-look, guys...all I meant, was.....well..."
"YOU'RE A BUNCH OF COWARDS!" bellowed Sako from below. He didn't know what had made him yell it. Maybe it was the same fear in Kra's eyes he had seen in his brother's, maybe it was just pent up anger. Tasho and Rouge stopped, glaring down at Sako. Kra didn't take his eyes off of the two wolves. His head was lowered and he started to try and slink futher back but Rouge lunged suddenly, grasping him and shoving him halfway over the edge, holding him for a moment to stare into his eyes.
"You'll be safe from Oki here." he hissed. Kra's eyes widened and then Rouge let go and Kra plunged to the bottom of the cave. Sako leapt out as he fell and softened his blow, letting him roll off of his back and onto the ground.
"Bad luck," growled Sako.
Up above the two wolves snickered and bounded off, licking their lips in anticapation.
Kra stood up, the fearing look in his eyes were gone.
"Bad luck? Hah. No way. I was trying to get in here."

Karuso smiled at all the wolves doing his bidding. Things were great. He had a whole pack of wolves doing whatever he told them to do and food whenever he wanted it. Some of the guards seemed to have been acting strangely, but the whole pack was strange--if they started acting up he could simply kill them. He had released Delta and the others at the point of another guards who pointed out that they would be of better use hunting elk and catching food for his majesty. "His majesty". Karuso liked the sound of that. All he had to do now was to get rid of Oki. Or maybe he would keep him around for a short while...

Sako snorted.
"Right." he rolled his eyes. Was Kra really going to try and play it off like this?
"No, really, Sako. You're brother sent me. I'm with you guys. I'm going to help the revolution." he barked taking a step forward.
Sako turned. He still didn't believe him fully, but hope soared in his chest.
"What's my brother's name and where did you hear about this so-called revolution?" he growled.
"Delta. Brother of Kari. Your mom is Saharah, mate of Yeti. I've been on your side since we came here. I've just not been able to prove myself. There's a whole team of guards who are for your pack. I managed to get Delta and the others out of the pens. Their doing fine. Their spreading the word about the revolution right now, that's why I got down here. Delta said you two had been training specially? Figuring out better ways to fight or something. Ways to get out of a seemingly impossible situation or something?"
Sako laughed a little.
"Sort of. I've been waiting for you guys to leave before I try to get out. I guess this is my chance. Whats the plan so far?"
Kra nodded and glanced upwards before speaking in a low tone.
"The guards are mingling with the others. Everybody is ready to attack, we're just waiting for the order."
Sako cocked his head.
"Who's going to give the order? Who have we been waiting for?" he asked.
"You."
