August 2009 Gathering

[Moony]

"I mean nothing to YOU!" she growled. She let go of his scruff and scored her claws down his flank. "Why don't you fight me?"

[((Red))]

"Whiteice, you always meant something to me. Well, not anymore," Blackfur said. "You were going to let me die. I and I bet you wanted Shade to do that!" Blackfur calmed down. "Your nothing but a killer," he said and left her.
(hehe, dramatic)

[Moony]

Foxfur ran over and scooped up Whiteice by the neck. Her fangs sunk in, cutting of her breathing and blood pooling around her fangs. "How would you like to die, Traitor!?" Foxfur snarled. "I'm not going to dieEEE!" she screeched and Foxfur bit harder.

[((Red))]

"Wait Foxfur!" Darkstorm screamed. "Remember, thats just Whitepup with a different name. She is still a pup," Darkstorm told her.

[Moony]

"I don't care if she is a pup. She is a traitor to this forest! " Foxfur growled. Whiteice was squirming, but went limp. She was knocked out cold. Foxfur shook her like a rag doll.

[((Red))]

"But please don't kill her," Darkstorm begged.

[Moony]

Foxfur ignored Blackfur's plea. Soon, she felt that Whiteice has had enough and threw her. She walked away. "Stupid pup," she growled under her breath.

[((Red))]

(btw, Darkstorm begged that)

(back at Windpack nursery)
"Sandpup, Frostpool, wake up!" Shadepup screamed. "I've been hearing screams from the gathering all night, and I just heard Blackfur!"

[Moony]

"Go back to sleep, Shadepup. I'm sure they got some good news or something," Frostpool mumbled.

[((Red))]

"That was a scream of fear though," Shadepup said to them, but Sandpup fell back asleep. 'I'm not going to stand here while my dad is getting hurt,' Shadepup said. He quietly, got out of the nursery, and went to the gathering.

ARRRG this is gonna be long

Sunspark glared at Recif for a moment before turning to Thunderheart. Her tears mixed with his blood, which was slowly flowing from his wounds. She leaned close to his muzzle. "Why? Why did you have to be the stupid, brave hero?", she asked, whispering. In her head, a million thoughts raced.
You're a traitor Redtide!
Sunspark, this is your destiny.
Suck up! He was never for you.
I'm your real mother, Sunspark.
Am I destined to be the broken, mateless she-wolf forever?
Sunspark shook her head violently. She laid a paw on Thunderheart's paw. "Arawn.."


Diogenes, looking at the bloodstained hollow, grinned, and turned and followed his pack. Pendergast watched him go. Why didn't I attack him?


Dio ran after Layla, and overheard the conversation. He stopped short. Pregnant?! What other revelations would befall him tonight?


Whiterain, knocked out, could seem like she was dead, but was breathing. Shallowly.


Echohowl ran over to the injured. She looked at Moonfeather. "Moonfeather, you and Cheetahheart go and retreive the herbs over there. I need to check on Whiterain.", she said, and sat down beside her.


Fallentear appeared beside Emeraldblaze, Ravenfire, and Bloodlust. Moonrun, who was beside her mate, looked devoid of emotion. Fallentear looked at them. "In need of assistance?", she asked.


Willowpool helped Reedpaw, who had been fighting valiantly.


Dragonpaw and Emberpaw watched Whiteice, flabbergasted. Dragonpaw looked forlorn. "Whiteice...", he whispered.


Callisto, regaining herself from Bloodspill, looked at Bluestone, Silentstar, and Scaredpelt. "That means I am your granddaughter."


In the distance, a figure was running at full speed towards the bloody scene. The figure was a tawny she-wolf with a gray head.....

[Moony]

Moonfeather shot a hesitant look at Whiterain then Echohowl. She ran and got the bloody herbs that Echohowl has told her to get.

Whiteice was breathing shallowly. "Dragonpaw," she managed to croak.

"Recif! Our mission is done, we must go," Starscream howled as she passed the Sun's Death leader.

Venomfang huddled around Thunderheart. "Thunderheart! You stupid hero!" he cursed as he hung his head. 'Please let Phoenixfeather be alive,' he prayed.

Layla and Ashfang turned around to see Dio standing. "Brother? Are you okay?" Layla asked, concerned.

[»|¢yηdєя|«]

Sunspark barely noticed Venomfang as he kneeled beside her. She felt like she wanted to die right then and there. One could see it in her eyes. My life is so messed up anyway. Who would care?


Dio stared at her and Ashfang with his calm silver and blue gaze. "You're pregnant.", he restated, tilting his head.


Fallentear sat, staring at her paws as she waited for a response.


Echohowl turned to Moonfeather. "Thanks. Whiterain's breathing is shallow, and her wounds are still bleeding. Come over here with some goldenrod and cobwebs."


Dragonpaw dared to take a step towards Whiteice. "I can help you. What is killing worth when you have to watch the ones you love die? Where's the honor in that?", he asked calmly.


The tawny she-wolf stopped when she saw Venomfang. "Venomfang!", she yowled. Phoenixfeather was back.

[Moony]

"Phoenixfeather! Thank Starpack!" he cried out as he ran towards her. Tears streamed down his face, and his breath was quivering. "He's dead," he quivered. Tears streamed down his face.

Layla nodded. "Yes. I wasn't planning it," she muttered. "We must go! Mother is in trouble!" Ashfang nodded, but looked back. He saw Moonfeather, and caught her eye. She growled at him.

Moonfeather growled at Ashfang and got the golden rod. She placed it beside Echohowl. "Echohowl, what about Breezesong?!" Moonfeather whispered.

"Killing is for survival. And it rids this world of wolves like Blackfur, the ones that don't care for their young," she croaked. Whiteice tried to get to her paws, but fell right back down.

[»|¢yηdєя|«]

Phoenixfeather's brief moment's contentment faded. She frowned at Thunderheart's dead body, and snarled when she spotted Sunspark. "Stop mauling the body, you Sun's Death good-for-nothing!" Sunspark turned her head slowly to look up at Phoenixfeather. Her blue eyes were clouded with tears. "You're right Phoenixfeather. I am a good-for-nothing.", she said softly, and looked away.


Dio snarled at Moonfeather. A warning to mind her own business.

Echohowl nodded. "Yes, I will see to her immediately after I apply Whiterain's poultice."


Dragonpaw nodded in understanding. "Yes, killing is for survival. We kill our prey to live, to nourish our bodies and keep our stomachs full. You kill to nourish your broken soul, but does the after effect keep you nourished and feeling content? What does it feel like to kill all the time? What joy do you see in it? And Blackfur still loves you. Did he fight back when you attacked him?"
