The Son of War: Chapter 7: Tony&nbsp
Killing the wolves was a piece of cake. Getting away from the explosion without letting the cops see them was harder than is seemed. They took a bus all the way back to Seattle. Tony had disagreed to go, but after some arguing Rhea had won out. Now they were on a bus back home.

Along the way Rhea told him everything. She told him about her meeting with the dead hippie Romulus, the fox girl Sybl and her weird prophecy, as well as the Legion of Wolves, and her battle with Lupus. All this came hard at Tony, but he put on a straight face to show Rhea he wasn't weak.

SCREECH!

The bus stopped and a kid got on. He had black eyes, long auburn hair, and was wearing a white T-shirt, with jeans, and long, white golves. A backpack was slung across his shoulder. He moved all the way to the back and sat in an empty seat behind Tony and Rhea.

"Tony...that kid. His aura...it's powerful..." Rhea whispered to him.

"What?" Tony asked. He couldn't sense it. The bus continued driving. It stopped again and a frail old man got on. He was dressed from head to toe in a brown cloak that covered his head. He sat two seats in front of them.

"That man...his aura...is way too powerful...like yours...." Rhea whispered again.

"I have no idea what your talking-"

The bus came to and abrupt halt. The tires screeched as the driver shifted it into park. He stood, a cap on his head and an evil glare in his eyes.

"You three, get off my bus now...." he growled. But it wasn't a low rumble, like a regular man, it was an animal's growl....like a wolf.

"Run now," Rhea said. She turned around towards the kid behind them. "You. You're coming with us."

"What?" his voice was cracked, like he'd just been a fire.

"RUN NOW!"

But there was no escape. The bus driver morphed into a giant red wolf, wearing black battle armor, he was blind and his nose was missing.

"It's Remus, Lupus's lieutenant! He can't smell or see, but he can hear better then any human or wolf! That's how he was driving the bus, sound! He's going to eat us if we give him the chance!" Rhea screamed.

"Then let's not give him that chance," the boy said. "Oh, and by the way I'm Reece."

"I'm Rhea. Nice to meet you Reece."

"Tony," Tony said.

Remus flew at them, claws extended.

"Don't make a sound," Rhea whispered. "Even the slightest vibration in the air will alert him."

They dodged silentley and pinned themselves to the walls. The wolf stood still, ears perked in the air like a dog waiting to be fed.

Tony breathed silentley, and slid his hand slowly into his pocket. In one swift motion, he drew his scythe and sliced Remus's left ear off. The wolf roared with anger and pounced, but Tony ducked just in time.
