Red Cape: Part4

I followed Scruff even though the sun had started to set. It terrified me, I didn't know where he was taking me and I didn't want to be ambushed at night. Scruff didn't look like he was about to stop too, I had to do something.
"I need sleep" I called out which he replied to with a huff. He carried on walking, ignoring me, so I repeated myself.
He huffed again. "I heard you the first time" He snapped.
"Answer me then" I growled back.
"We're nearly there so be patient" He sighed.
I wasn't a patient person but I decided to bite my tongue. It was the best thing I could do. I had the feeling that he didn't have the best patience with me and I didn't want to push it, he could possibly bite my head off.
"I don't taste good" I blurted. I hated when I got myself worked up about things.
"I'm not into humans" He teased.
"Good" I replied, maybe a bit too quickly.
"You need to relax, Nova. I'm not going to kill you, trust me on that one. I don't eat humans, at all."
A short snorting laugh came out. "I don't eat humans" I mimicked. "What do you eat?"
I saw his shoulders go up then back down while he was still walking. "Food" He grinned back at me.
"And what food is that?" I pressed.
"Food" He repeated.
"Are you a vegetarian or something?"
He laughed. "Of course not, that's just ridiculous."
"Like you not eating humans?" I grinned. He had slowed down, we were now walking side by side.
"I could eat you if you wanted me to" He looked up at me with his yellow eyes and his tongue hanging out the side of his mouth. It took me a while to realise that he was grinning at me, in his own little way.
"I thought you didn't eat humans" I shrugged.
"Only if you want me to" He replied.
"I don't think so somehow"
He nodded. "I didn't think so, Nova. You need to find your friend anyway"
"Yeah, what do you know about her?" I asked.
He didn't look at me, his head fell instead, and he planted his paws into the ground. To say the growling that came from him didn't scare me would be a complete lie, it scared me a lot.
I moved backwards, very slowly, and hid behind a tree. Why I did that, I didn't know, but I felt it was appropriate. Then Scruff's growling got worse, became more violent.
"If it isn't little Scruffy" A voice mocked. It was a deep voice mixed in with a growl. I knew it was another wolf straight away. "Where's darling mum and dad?"
I could see Scruff from where I was standing and his body stiffened. A low growl came from him as he showed the other wolf his teeth.
"Do you always snarl at others? That could get you killed" The wolf snapped.
"You betrayed us, Brother." Scruff snapped back.
A laugh came from the other wolf. "I thought I was disowned, Scruff. Now tell me where mother and father are"
Scruff growled again, more viciously than before, and his teeth showing more than they were before.
"He has to tell his brother, Nova. He has to. They have you surrounded" Red's voice whispered in my ear again.
Scruff's ear twitched, he knew we were surrounded already. "Why do you need a pack?" He growled.
His brother let out a laugh. "To kill her" and I knew he was talking about me.
