Please note that this is my first ever story, I know I can't avoid criticism, but please be nice and if you would like to give me advice, please do, it will be greatly received. (Compliments would be great too)
I was hoping to release the entire thing in one go, but I thought it would be easier releasing it in a few parts, as it will give me more time to improve on the story.
*NOTE* As do many other furry story writers, I have based my main character (Shard) on myself; pretty much everything about Shard is how I am.

Shard - Part 1
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the bell rang for the end of school, I packed my stuff into my school bag and zipped it shut. I had just had chemistry; the unwelcome smell of burning chemicals, gas and sanitizer filled the entire room like an unpleasant fog. Swinging my bag over and onto my shoulder, I looked towards the open door of the classroom, "Freedom" I thought to myself as I stood up and made my way towards the green painted door. I looked through the window in the door curiously as a circle of people were just outside, standing around large black wolf, "What's he doing now" I thought to myself as I swung the door open and shifted my way through the other pupils towards the circular crowd.
As I got there, squeezing my way into the center of the hyped up mob, they were crowding around the two wolves, stopping a couple of teachers breaking it up, the teachers were threatening everyone around with detention, but no one paid them any attention, they were all zoned in on the 'fight' chanting the same thing over and over
"FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!"
When I finally got to the center, I stared at the small wolf, his hair was red like a fox's, a little confused I looked a little closer, "Yep, he's definitely a wolf" I thought, to myself whilst asking the over-excited crowd about the boy, I couldn't take my eyes off his fox like fur, I asked all who I could, scrounging for information but no one even seemed to know the boys name, "Maybe he was new" I thought to myself as I looked over at the young wolf taking poundings from the Alphas iron fists. As I took a proper look at the boy, I couldn't take my eyes away, he was... cute... wait there... I stared at him; scanning up and down his body with my eyes... he was really cute, beautiful even.
His eyes were like amber-tinted diamonds, clear and piercing, yet warm and inviting. I felt a little shiver go down my spine as he looked me right into my eyes; I could tell he was fighting tears, as the Alpha pounded him into the floor and wall. As I continued to stare at him, I realised that most people would have passed out by now, the young wolf must have some muscle to him, Razor wasn't exactly known to be gentlest of people. As the wolf was desperately trying to hide his face from the punches. I heard him yelp, and that made me kick, I felt a spark of fire take over my body as my anger engulfed me, I wasn't supposed to interfere with the black wolf's business as I had been in trouble many times before, fighting him because he tries to act 'hard', I tried to resist, but I couldn't take my eyes off the red wolf, I knew the much larger black wolf was a bully, but this was taking it too far.
I walked up to Razor, tapping him on the shoulder, he stopped hitting the red wolf for a split second then carried on, completely ignoring me in the process, not really realising what I just did, I hit him as hard as I could right in the side of the head, and watched him fall onto his hands and knees.
I was really pissed with him now "What the fuck do you think you're doing Razor?! I'm fucking sick of your shit! You bully weaker kids just to make yourself look big! You're fucking pathetic and we all know it" I shouted to him as he stood up slowly, he ignored me again and went to hit the red wolf, but I wasn't having any of it.
"FUCK YOU!" I screamed as loud as I could whilst knocking him off balance with a full-scale blow from my knee, stopping him attacking the red wolf. Razor stopped pummelling the now blood covered wolf, staring sharply at me "You think you're so hard? Fucking try it then!" I bellowed to him as it echoed through the silent corridors, the entire school seemed to go quiet as they all seemed to be in shock at my challenge.
Razor took a step towards me, as he did I looked towards the young wolf and fell into a blind rage, rolling my sweaters sleeves up to my elbows, Razor took his fighting stance, but I just walked up to him with no consideration for my own safety; I took two full-scale swings to the face without even as much as a flinch, everyone around including Razor stared at me questioning how possible it is that I actually took those hits and am still on my feet, my rage was blocking the pain. "Hah faggot" I taunted at Razor, in hearing this, he gave me another right hook, without thinking, I ducked and gave him a full-on uppercut straight to the muzzle, a faint crack could be heard in the pin-drop silence as Razor dropped to his knees, trying to keep his cool, but how could he, he'd just been easily outmatched by what he saw as a much 'weaker' opponent, I wasn't as big as him, so his brutish knowledge came the conclusion I was weaker, his pride and 'image' draining by the second.
A split-second after the previous blow, I stepped back a little but yet another glance at the almost lifeless pile of red wolf sent me over, I was out for blood. With deadly speed and accuracy I sped towards him as fast as I could, pounding my fists of Razors face in none-stop rapid succession, Razor dropped to the floor but I just jumped onto him still forcing my fists into his face.
It took a minute or two for me to realise but the red wolf had been watching me all this time through a little gap between his paws, In seeing his cute little innocent face, I stood up and got off Razor, kicking him in his face and knocking him out, I looked down at his no longer conscious, blood covered corpse. The red wolf seemed scared of me, as I walked towards him, he tried to drag himself away, but stopped as I gave him a little smile and a giggle and picked him up off the floor and softly placed him on his hind paws, attempting to help him stand.
Everyone was still crowded around us, but I paid them no attention as I was more interested in the safety of the little confusing wolf. "Hey, are you okay" I said to him, still helping him stand, he looked at me confused at why I didn't even know him, but I stood up for him as if he were a dear friend, the crowd slowly started to clap and cheer, I guess Razor didn't have any real friends after all I thought. As most of the crowd patted me on the back and congratulated me, walking off to go back to their homes. The wolf didn't reply to my question, I brushed his messed hair back into place, trying to keep up my tough act.
I eventually broke the silence "A red wolf huh" I paused taking in his beauty whilst trying to keep up my hard-man act "Never seen one of you before, you must be rarer than rare" I said whilst inspecting the wolf's sleek yet muscle-toned composition. The red wolf broke a weak smile and looked as if he was about to say something, but before I had a chance to find out what, he collapsed towards me before his blooded lips could let the sounds escape. As he fell forwards, I caught him not realising how tightly I was holding him.
I carried the young wolf's body in my arms, like a new baby. I walked towards my room, kicking the door open resulting in me almost loosing balance. I carried him inside and gently placed him on the bed, I went to put the cover over him but then realised the blood stains in his clothes, deciding taking off his clothes would be a better idea before putting him to bed.
