Sweet Dreams [Are Made of These]

[»|¢yηdєя|«]

After a long, hard, and tiring day, Dio curled up next to his siblings. His multicolored gaze rested on his mother, and he smiled, but his dazzling grin was a faint reminder of whose genes he really carried. Dio yawned, showing his healthy pink gums and tiny white teeth. Slowly, he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.




A shadow moved through the forest, the only thing visible it's strange blue and silver eyes. They seemed to float like orbs in the darkness. Dio felt as the hunter should feel: powerful, dangerous, quick, and cunning. Only thing was, it was not prey he was hunting for. He felt his muscles flex as he walked, the sinew stretching, contracting, with each step. There was murder in his heart as he approached the river, eyes spotting a dark figure hiding in the boughs of a willow tree. As Dio crossed the river, he noticed it had a very strong current.......
The figure crouched before him rose to meet his gaze. "The charm, I-I lost it.", the wolf stammered. Dio's orange aura sprang up, dancing above his fur like flames. He certainly looked terrifying. "You lose it? Oh Greyback, I'm so disappointed...", Dio sighed calmly, but there was no mistake; he was furious. "Diogenes, I-", the wolf named Greyback began, but Dio had used the molecules surrounding the other wolf to levitate him and thrust him into the trunk of the tree. "It's Dio.", he growled. He didn't feel himself worthy enough to carry his real father's name. He was a great wolf; a legend. Dio took a threatening step towards Greyback, and concentrated his mind. Silver light flowed from the unfortunate victim; it was Greyback's life force. The wolf seemed to deflate as the precious substance flowed from him. Dio looked down at Greyback with no emotion in his eyes. "You have failed me. It seems I shall have to find the crystal myself.", he said softly.




As the dream faded, Dio woke up. He was confused, amazed, and enthralled at what he had seen. Had it been a vision? Dio looked out the window up at the moon, which hung in an indigo-pink sky. Dawn had come. But yet, the pup felt strange stirrings within him. He felt he was too young to understand what he had seen, but he HAD seen it; saw his older self. Dio wondered if he just imagined all this. Perhaps he himself was the same; imagined into being. Was he really just a non-sentient being, wished into existence, or was he sentient, but not fully whole? Had he been created by the darkness in the hearts of all wolves? Did he even have a heart? The drummings against his chest answered the question. In his deep thinking, Dio had not noticed that the others where beginning to stir.....

Rapier woke, and quietly roused Diogenes. She yawned. "Who will be hunting this morning?", she asked. Diogenes shrugged and looked over as Dio sat upright, staring into space. "Dio..", he whispered, not think the pup could hear him, but surprisingly, Dio turned his head and stared back.

Layla twitched a bit, then inhaled deeply. On her exhalation, darkness over came her senses and threw her around. A sudden bright light blinded her vision, and dilated her pupils. When her eyes adjusted, what she saw a sweet dream and a beautiful nightmare.....

Fire was as far as the eye could see. Paiful last howled echoed in her ears. "Layla! Layla my lord, ThunderPack has been terminated at last!" a sleek silver wolf howled to three shadows sitting atop a shining pile. The pile was made of bones, sparkling wolf bones that were tinted scarlet, and it seemed to stretch for miles. The tallest shadow woofed in a charming bell-like voice,"Is this so Starscream? Then if what you say is true, then the era of the Renegades has been born with I as the Alpha!" A strangling cloud whisped out of the way, revealing a blocked sun, a permenent eclipse. It's faint rays revealed something shocking, it revealed the secure blankets of shadows around the silhouettes. The tallest one was Layla, the one to her right was a scarred up Zon, and to her left was Dio. Starscream howled. "All hail Lord Layla!" Then a scraggly old wolf ran next to the wolf called Starscream and slapped her jaw. "Enough! This is my era! The era of Keeva!" the old wolf croaked. Layla laughed. "Why you old geezer, what courage you have, disrespecting your Lord!" she laughed. Keeva snarled,"Layla you know this is my time! I could have you killed if I wanted to!" Layla shook her head and laughed. "On the contrary, I can kill all of you right now!" she looked at Keeva, Starscream, Dio, and Zon. Keeva laughed then stopped abruptly. "Kill them," she howled simply. A whole band of wolves surrounded Keeva and Starscream, then raced in. A fit of snapping and gurgling bouncing off the trees. Suddenly, two huge white wolves knocked over Dio and Zon and sunk their fangs into her brother's necks. After a bit of snarling, a sudden snap stopped everything. Layla watched in amusement as Zon's body went limp. "My brother is dead! As is mymother and commanding officer!" she howled, her green aura dancing around here. "I have a confession! I killed Keeva, Starscream, and Zon right this moment! But I also killed Brody, Diogenes, and Tokeshima in a rock slide years ago! They were in my way of ruling!" Layla laughed darkly. She signaled the wolf on Dio off, and he ran away. "And so now, my brother I want to say one thing," she howled. Layla bent towards his ear and whispered," Good night." With a sudden jerk of her tail, a huge bolder whisked over her head and onto Dio, squishing her brother. The sounds of his last plea and crushing bones was sickening, but it was like music to her ears. "I have killed my brother! I can rule at last!" she howled. Flames grew around the bone pile, and seemed to dance in victory. Her threw her head back and howled, her silhoutte blending in with the Eclipsed sun.

Layla's eyes shot open, andher breathing was acclerated. Looking around, she saw her baby brothers and mother. Layla sighed and saw Dio awake.

[»|¢yηdєя|«]

oh wow
Dio shiveled his head towards Layla, but said nothing. "Good morning, you two.", Diogenes woofed, trying not to be too loud.

[Moony]

Layla sighed in relief. "Good morning Uncle," she whispered. Her dream still haunted her. Had she really killed Tokeshima, Brody, Zon, Dio, Keeva, and Diogenes? Layla shook the thought away.

[»|¢yηdєя|«]

wake up Keeva lawl
Dio indicated the glorious sunrise {no pun intended} with a flick of his tail. "Beautiful."

[Moony]

Layla nodded. "Very," she whispered. Then she turned to Keeva and looked at her peaceful expression. Letting her green aura shine dully, she threw a tiny rock at Keeva's ear. The ear twitched and Keeva's breathing broke, but then went back to a regular beat. Layla huffed and stomped the ground. She then threw another small rock, only to her head.

Keeva eyes shot open. "What the heck?" she mumbled as she rubbed her head. Layla giggled and looked at Diogenes then Dio.

[Silentee]

Zon was the last to awake, but he was still thinking about his dream of ruling.

Zon was sitting on top of a huge pile of bones, the bones of the packs and his father Diogenes. He howled in a wicked voice, "Let the prisoners come out!" His three surviving family members came out, his old, tired, worn out mother came out with Dio and Layla, both weak and thin. He smiled victoriously, "You have fought bravely! But, as I took you powers and strength, you are a failure!" His lips curved back with his teeth bared. "Now! It is time for you to die! So I can be the ruler of the forest!" He jumped down off of the piled and landed in front of his brother's face. "But! You can plead, but you will problem still die." He loved to hear pleas of wolves and then kill them. Layla bared her teeth. "I have NOTHING to say to you traitor!" Zon walked to her. "So be it." He whispered and in a swift kill on the throat, his sister was dead. Zon let go, tasting blood on his lips and letting her body fall down to the ground. He looked at a dark wolf. "Add her to the pile!" He ordered and the dark wolf dragged Layla's body onto the hill and flies began to swam around her body. He looked at Dio. "Anything you have to say?" Dio looked terrified. "I can help you, I can... can..." His brother whispered but Zon snarled and grabbed Dio's neck and ripped it and threw it across the clearing. "What say you, mother?" He snarled. Keeva looked Zon in the eye. "Do what you want with me." Again Zon snarled and whispered. "So be it!" With that he grabbed his mother by the neck and flung her in the blood river. "Now I AM the ruler of the FOREST!" He howled and the dark wolves began howling and cheering.

Muahaha, the dawn of Keeva's evil spawn.

o.o

[Moony]

I know.

Keeva looked up at Diogenes. "Well good morning 'Gene," she teased. Carefully, she got to her paws.

[»|¢yηdєя|«]

Diogenes smiled back. "Good morning, Keeva."

[Moony]

"Mommy? Can me and Dio go walk with Uncle? Please?" Layla pleaded quietly.

Keeva looked at Diogenes, then back to her,erm, their pups.

[»|¢yηdєя|«]

Diogenes took a step forward. "I don't mind if they come with me.", he said, delighted. Dio looked at Layla, then at Diogenes, and then at Keeva.
