(So you want have to do all that junk of downloading it and stuff) Prologue K.O looked around; he was in a field with tall grass. He looked up and saw the sky light with flames, and then a voice repeated these words the flames path will intertwine with the sky’s. Cloudpack will blaze like a fire. The voice vanished and K.O appeared at camp, the camp was freezing cold; dogs freezing. K.O was about to run down when the sky lit up again with Flames. Cloudpack defrosted and he looked around noticing camp was guarded from the freezing winds by the sky lit with flames… K.O woke to the sound of screaming. He ran out of his den and spotted Red in the clearing, she was about to have pups! Coco the medicine dog apprentice ran out of her den and helped Red. K.O nuzzled his mate, after a while two puppies where born. One was red and white; the other was grey with white paws. They licked their fur the wrong way then sat them next to Red. Red barked happily and nuzzled her puppies then her mate, K.O. “What shall we name them K.O?” Red asked. K.O sat down and thought, “Grey one with white paws should be named Scout” Red said licking the grey one. “Why?”K.O asked. “He seems like he would make a fine Scouter” Red replied. K.O blinked and spoke calmly “The red and white one should be named Flame”
The warrior dogs! By Elizabeth Ingram
Chapter one Flame looked around and crouched low. Her eyes were focused on a rabbit. Lizard approached her and he said “Do you smell that Flame?” Flame jumped up and growled cursing under her breath as the rabbit got away. “Smell what?” She asked looking at him. “Smell a…..POOCH!” Lizard dashed off his teeth bared in a snarl. “LIZARD! DONT RUN OFF! K.O IS GONNA KILL US!” She shouted chasing him. Lizard stopped and crouched low watching something Flame couldn’t see. “Ok Flame you stay behind as I attack it” Lizard crouched low but was pushed aside by Flame. “Just because I am a girl doesn’t mean I can’t fight” She jumped on the pooch. The dog underneath her yelped in terror. Flame bit it on the neck and forced it to its paws. “Who are you?! What are you doing in Cloudpack territory?!” Flame snarled and bit down harder when she got no reply. “Ah! I am here hunting what else does it looks like” The dog replied. Before Flame could come back with a smart retort K.O entered. Flame’s ear became flat and she looked at him; still holding the frightened dog. “Flame! What in Starpack’s name are you doing attacking this dog!?” K.O asked demanding an answer. Flame dropped the dog and looked at K.O. Before the dog could run off Lizard stepped in front of it. The dog whimpered and backed away. “Pooch!” K.O said looking at the dog. “Y-yes sir?” The dog looked up and K.O’s ears twitched. “What’s your name?” K.O asked. “Sky sir” Sky said looking at him. K.O’s eyes widened and he looked at Sky. “Interesting, very interesting” He said obviously thinking of something. Flame looked at K.O and she took a breath “K.O; want us to tear him limb from limb?” Lizard said looking at K.O. “No…no one shall hurt this dog” K.O looked at Flame whose jaw had dropped open. “But K.O!” K.O signaled Flame to be quiet. Flame sat down and looked at her paws shuffling them a bit. “Cloudpack could use more members…” K.O said. Sky looked at K.O confused. “K.O! A POOCH IN CLOUDPACK?! WE WOULD BE THE LAUGHING STALK OF ALL THE PACKS!!!” Flame said jumping up her pelt bristling. “Who is leader Flame? Me or you?” K.O said scornfully. “You” Flame muttered sitting back down and hanging her head in shame. K.O nodded “Sky, I want you to be here tomorrow If you wish to join the pack”. Sky nodded slowly; Flame snarled and lifted her head up. “Ok Lizard and Flame let’s be heading back” K.O said leaving. Lizard followed; he passed Flame and his pelt brushed hers. Flame stood back and muttered in Sky’s ear. “Now listen here, you’ll never be a Cloudpack member” She got up and left her head held high and her nose in the air. Sky entered his house and looked around. He saw his owner on the couch. He walked up to his owner and barked. The owner fed him dry dog food. Sky sighed and laid down in his bed. ******** Sky woke up and looked outside, the sun hadn’t risen yet. He exited the house and looked at the fence next to him. He left the fence and spotted a female dog. “Hey Sky!” Kira said smiling. Sky nodded to her then entered the woods his pelt bristling. He looked around and closed his eyes. He could smell the scent of dog. He soon spotted a green pelt; Lizard; Lizard walked up to him. Then a red pelt showed and Flame entered. Flame looked at him, and Sky could hear her repeat the harsh words. Flame nodded to him but didn’t speak. “Um can we get on with this?” Sky asked. Flame shook her head then looked around “We aren’t the patrol that will be taking you to camp” ******* Flame jumped at him and bit his neck. Lizard bit his back and Flame dug her claws into his back. Sky whimpered and looked at them his eyes widened. Sky kicked Lizard off but he couldn’t manage to get Flame off. Flame didn’t let go as she shoved him against a tree. Sky kicked at her and barked. Flame shoved him harder. Sky whimpered again he felt as if his chest was gonna collapse. Suddenly Flame was tossed away. Sky fell down. “What on earth were you doing Flame and Lizard?!” A grey dog with white paws said. Flame jumped up and snarled “Scout, go back to Scouting this has nothing to do with you”. “Are you so sure Flame? Father sent me to come and get Sky” Scout said proudly. “WHAT?!” Flame screamed. “HE SENT YOU INSTEAD OF ME?! I DESERVE IT MORE THAN YOU! JUST BECAUSE YOU’RE A SCOUT DOESN’T MEAN YOU ARE BETTER!!!” Sky screamed. Scout narrowed his eyes “This little incident proves I am better than you”. Lizard stood up “Hey! You guys are off topic” He said. Flame narrowed her eyes and thought Lizard, you aren’t our boss! Scout nodded to where Sky lay. “Both of you pick him up and take him to camp” Scout looked at Flame. Flame snorted and picked up Sky. Lizard picked him up roughly. Flame did the same as Lizard and they left to camp. Scout growled and followed them. ******* Flame sat Sky down in the medicine dogs den, rather harder than she should “Hey Coco got any deathly herbs that look like good herbs?” Flame asked. Coco shook her head and looked at Flame. “Flame what’s the real problem” Coco asked looking at her. Flame spat “Nothing just help this moron and make sure he wakes up in time to be introduced to the clan” She stuck her tail in the air and walked away. Coco laughed at some thought in her head she then looked at Sky. She sighed and went to work. ******** Flame sat down outside the apprentices den and looked up to see Noel and Leon come up to her. “I heard the den was falling apart?” Noel asked looking at it. “Yea I told Boulder before I left”. Noel nodded and sat down some rocks. She looked at Leon and signaled him to get some mud and other things. “Hey Flame, what’s Sky like?” Noel asked fixing the den a bit. “He is…” Flame thought this over then decided to tell the truth “Cute nice and perfect material for a warrior!” She said then she began to babble on about him. Noel nodded and Leon returned with mud. She fixed the den and looked at Flame who was silent. Noel nodded to her “Seems like you have a crush Flame”. Flame spat a bit “Me? Like him? Are you crazy?” Flame said. “Anyways I like Lizard”. Noel laughed a tiny bit “Oh no need to lie to me Flame” Noel got up and left followed by her brother Leon. Flame sighed and sat down watching her paws. She heard K.O howl at Cloud rock. She got up and walked up to Cloud rock. Lizard sat down next to her, his pelt touching hers, for once in her life she felt uncomfortable at the feeling of his pelt. She scooted a bit away and Lizard looked at her; hurt filled his eyes. Flame sighed and looked away her eyes closed. “We have a new apprentice, his name shall be Sky. We haven’t found out if he is supposed to be a warrior apprentice, Scouter apprentice, or Builder apprentice. We will know before the next gathering. I promise that…tomorrow he starts training with the builders” K.O stopped speaking then jumped down. Flame looked at the medicine dogs den, it was crowded with dogs. Flame sighed and went to the apprentices den. She laid down in her nest and yawned. Lizard laid down in his nest. Flame felt cold, even though it was a warm night. She wished she had Lizard lying down next to her but she knew she didn’t like him anymore. She began to wonder what life with Lizard would be like. She stopped thinking about it and finally slept. ******** Sky woke up and yawned looking around. He was in a strange den, he then saw movement. He jumped up his teeth showing. “Don’t get your fur in a knot” Spoke a voice. A beautiful brown dog with long fur looked at him. “w-who are you?” He asked his heart skipping beats. “Coco the medicine dog” Coco smiled a bit. “N-Nice to m-meet you.” He stammered. Coco laughed “Stop acting like a puppy meeting its hero” Coco said looking at him. “Sorry” He said. “Better get going, Boulder will have a fit if you are late” Coco looked at some herbs. Sky nodded and he left. Sky entered the clearing and looked around. A brown and black dog approached him. It was beautiful too…almost more beautiful than Coco. “Ok Sky here is the warrior code” (Just like the regular one) “Now we Builders listen to it too”. Sky’s ear went down and he sighed. That means this crush on Coco can’t be… Noel smiled and Sky felt in love again. “Anyways we should get going” Noel left and Sky followed. Urg! I still love Coco, but Noel she is beautiful too. Doesn’t matter right now…right now being the best Cloudpack member is my goal. Noel lead him into a huge hole in the ground. He looked around “What are we doing here?” “Getting rocks to build dens.” Another brown and black brown dog said. Noel nodded “That’s my brother Leon”. Leon nodded to them and looked at Noel “Can you get Coco? Boulder has cracked pads and he is refusing to stop working” Leon asked. “Sure, show newbie around will you?”Noel said looking at Leon. Leon nodded then pointed to a cave “We found a mountain lion in there… We don’t go in there because Little and Soot’s body is still in there…” Leon sighed. “Who are they?” Sky asked. “Soot was medicine dog, he was there because Little was bleeding out and no one could save him, the mountain lion decapitated Soot’s head” Leon sighed. Sky’s eyes were huge and he slowly nodded. Sky looked at Leon “where do I work first?” He asked. “Take some rocks to the elders den… the den is falling apart and Sun would like to stay out of the sun” Boulder said padding over, behind him were bloody paw prints. “Boulder” Leon said harshly. “You need to rest go back to sitting down”. Sky sighed and picked up some rocks. He looked around and left. He entered camp to see Flame and Lizard, sitting as far apart as possible. “What’s wrong with you two?” He asked looking from Flame to Lizard. Flame shrugged “Nothing is wrong, are you supposed to be preparing the elder’s den?” She said to him, in the same harsh tone. Sky rolled his eyes and picked up the rocks again. He walked to the elder’s den and sat them down. Sun was looking at him, almost blindly. “What do you want?” Rasped the elder. “Repairing your den” He muttered, trying to fix it. It ended up falling apart and Sun snapped at him. “Look what you did! This is even worse” She nipped at him and he ran off. Flame and Lizard laughed. Sky snorted, and Noel entered. “It’s ok; it just means that your calling isn’t building.” She said passing him on her way to the elder’s den. Sky sighed and looked at Flame and Lizard. Flame was being dragged onto a patrol. Lizard was looking at his paws. Flame shrugged off a thought and looked at Noel. She was engulfed in fixing the elder’s den. He saw Boulder and Coco sitting out of the medicine cats den. She had wrapped his paw in thin vine. Sky sighed and looked at his paws. “So I won’t be a builder…” Lizard had snorted behind him. Sky turned to look at him. “You don’t belong here…your calling is being a pooch” Sky snorted and walked away. Sky left camp and sat at the lake. He sighed and looked at the water thinking. Suddenly he fell in and heard a voice yell. “Hang on I’ll save you” He felt something grab him by the scruff. He was dragged out of the water and sat gently down. “Ha! I saved you!” Said Flame. Sky got up and shook his pelt dry “Saved me?! You pushed me in!” Flame jumped back at his words. “I was…playing” She muttered. “Playing? More like killing me” Sky stomped off not looking back at her. Flame sighed and looked at her paws muttering. She ran off quickly. When she entered camp Lizard was standing near a warrior dog. She walked up to him and muttered “What’s going on?” She asked, usually all the warrior dogs don’t gather unless it is important or it’s a gathering. “There’s been sighting of a mountain lion..And it’s dangerously close to camp. We will have to fight it soon.” He looked at her. She nodded slowly. She knew mountain lions would move into the holes in the ground. Mostly because the weather was changing, soon it would be the coldest season ever. She looked at Red, the deputy. “We’ll have to keep the dogs in camp” She muttered leaving quickly. She looked at Flame “I’m trusting you with a major job Flame, mostly because I think it’ll prove how well of an apprentice you are” She spoke calmly but it was easy to see she wasn’t sure of her choice. “I want you to go to K.O and report this to him, but that isn’t half of it. I want you to make sure all of the dogs don’t leave camp until it’s been killed” She said. Flame nodded but Lizard stepped in “I can help Red!” He said. “Very well” Red muttered. “This meeting is dismissed” She walked away and the other warrior dogs went their separate ways. Flame smiled and stood up, some time with her friend should help clear her mind. Lizard looked at her, and then headed to the entrance calling over his shoulder “Flame! You should tell K.O about this” He then sat down watching the entrance. Flame nodded then ran towards K.O’s den. She entered and looked around, searching for her leader. K.O was sitting near a pool of water, lost in thought. “Um..K.O; a patrol spotted a mountain lion dangerously close to the territory” K.O nodded and looked at her. “I understand Flame.. I am sure Red handled it thanks for telling me” She nodded and ran out. She entered the clearing to see Scout, Lily, and Soul talking about something. She crouched low and hid in some bushes. “Come on Scout! Lily and I are going out later to find its den! It will prove Warrior’s are not better then Scouters, we’ll leave after the gathering..It’ll be enough time for you to choose, are you loyal to your pack or are you a pooch?” Soul snickered. Lily looked at Soul and smiled “We’ll be Scouters in no time!” She tackled him and they wrestled. Flame growled and left quietly. Lizard looked at Flame and blinked. Flame sat down near the entrance. “Have you seen Sky? He left earlier and I am…um…worried that if he doesn’t return the pack will blame us” She said choosing her words carefully. Lizard shrugged “So what? That pooch will never make a good warrior or Scouter or Builder” He said looking at Flame. Flame swallowed a growl and looked at the entrance. Sky was running towards the entrance, he dashed right through and began to pant. “I saw a..Cat but it was way huger than the house cats I see” He said, panting harder now. Lizard growled “You don’t run towards camp when you see one you imbecile!” Sky flinched a bit then got up. “It’s my first day here!” He growled. Flame snarled “Both of you shut you mouths! Now look the sun is going down and no mountain lion is here” She looked at Lizard “Now go find some warriors to keep watch” She turned to Sky as Lizard nodded then dashed off. “I want you to go and get some moss, and then put it in your den and sleep” After that she stalked off. Sky got up; grumbling; and walked outside of camp then grabbed some moss and headed to the warrior apprentice den. He laid down far away from Flame. Flame was near the entrance, watching some stars. “You know Sun?” She said. “Yea” He looked at her. “She knows the best stories ever. But she also knows the saddest. She told me one that made me cry it was about my aunt Coal. She died when she was an apprentice. She died fighting for this pack. She would have made the best warrior this pack has ever seen. Her death makes me cry though” Flame looked Sky. Sky sighed and crawled up to her “Flame..You don’t think it’s my fault do you?” He looked at her. “What do you mean?” “I mean the whole Mountain lion thing… I didn’t mean to lead it here” He looked outside. “You didn’t lead it here. It isn’t here yet is it” “I know but if it does I’ll blame myself” he mutters getting up and walking back to his moss. He laid down and slept. Flame sighed and looked at Lizard’s nest. He wasn’t back yet. Flame closed her eyes and slept, dreaming of fighting the mountain lion, but it was disturbed by something. She was standing in the snow, she looked up to see Soul, Lily, and Scout sniffing the air. “They must be freezing” She muttered. She saw Lily and Scout stop. But Soul had kept running calling for them to follow. “NO! SOUL TURN AROUND!” She screamed running towards him. When she reached him the ground beneath them fell. She looked below to see a hole; she soon fell and when she hit the bottom she woke up jumping up. “Gosh Flame you seemed to be fighting a whole family of mountain lion in your sleep.” She looked at him “Oh sorry” She held his gaze for a moment before dashing out. Lizard had followed her “What are you doing Flame?” He asked looking at her. “Checking on the dogs you left out to guard, where is newbie?” She asked remembering she didn’t see him. “He left with Scout and Lily” Lizard replied. Flame stopped her quick pace “Where is Soul?” She looked at him. “Soul is in the medicine dogs den” Flame’s heart stopped for a minute. “He has stomach aches” Lizard looked concerned for a moment. Flame sighed “ok” She started walking again. Lizard and she had reached the entrance moments later. “You guys can go rest we will watch” Flame nodded to them. They seemed tired. They nodded thanks then left. Flame sat down and watched the entrance. Lizard sat down next to her and looked at her. “Flame something is bothering you…” He spoke calmly but he seemed worried. Flame sighed “Lizard I am fine” She looked at him. His hurt showed, Flame wished with all her heart that they would be friends forever but nothing more. Lizard shook his head and focused. She shivered and looked at Lizard “It’s cold this morning” He just nodded. Flame sighed and looked at the dens, they looked warm and inviting but she must watch her pack. Lizard yawned and looked at the entrance; it was gonna be an uneventful day it seemed. *a few hours later* Flame looked at Lizard. Suddenly they heard screams from the nursery. Flame dashed towards it, Lizard hot on her heels. She entered to see Crystal frantically searching. “What’s wrong?” Flame asked. “My pup! She’s gone” Flame and Lizard looked at each other. “We’ll find her just do not tell anyone else about this. Trust us, Crystal” Flame said. Crystal slowly nodded “Better take a Scouter with you” Crystal sat down. “We will” Lizard said walking out. Flame followed and she looked at him, only one Scouter was in camp. They walked to the medicine dogs den and looked inside. Sitting far away was Soul. “Soul! We need your help” Flame said. Soul looked up then dashed towards them. He seemed fine even though he was sick earlier. Flame looked at Lizard. Lizard told Soul what had happened. “Mama! She lost my little sister?!” Soul said, a bit annoyed. “Yes now help us” Flame said firmly. “What’s in it for me” Soul said looking at them. “Your little sister” Lizard told him. “Good deal” Soul muttered walking ahead of them. Flame and Lizard followed. Soul sniffed the ground following the scent of small. He soon scented Mountain lion too. Soul dashed off, growling. Flame and Lizard had to go at top speed to keep up. Before they got there they already knew what happened, they heard a sorrowful howl. When they approached Soul they licked his pelt, trying to calm him. Soul just shivered “Momma, Loud, Frost, and Ice are gonna cry their eyes out” He said tears filling his eyes. Flame kept licking Soul, not knowing what to say. She finally decided to look at the pup. Her eyes stretched as wide as they could as she saw the remains of a small pup. She growled “Soul, I will avenge her” Soul looked at Flame. “Just because you’re a warrior doesn’t mean you are better. I will avenge her, not you” He growled. Lizard looked at Soul “We never said we were better but Warriors fight Scouters do not”. Soul snorted “Whatever” He looked at Small’s remains one more time. “I will go get my mom you two can go back to doing whatever you were” Snarled Soul stomping off. “Someone slept on the wrong side of the nest” Lizard said. Flame looked at him “His sister died give him a break, Lizard” She spoke more harshly than attended. She walked back to camp, Lizard following. “I’m so-” She didn’t finish as Lizard growled and stalked off. “Great, I can’t say anything right” Flame muttered sitting down. Sky entered camp yawning. “Well, I don’t make a good Scouter” He muttered. Flame looked at him. “Tired already?” She asked smirking a bit. “Yes! They had me running around all day…I almost fell into a hole!” He said closing his eyes. Flame looked around. Red walked up to Flame. “I trusted you!” She growled at Flame. Flame’s ears when she yelled. “Flame I want you to clean out the elders den.” She growled stalking off. Flame looked at Sky. Sky opened his eyes and looked at her. “I can help you” Flame looked at Sky. “Thank you but I have to do this myself. It’s my punishment” She walked away towards the elders den. Lizard was talking to Sun. Sun looked at towards Flame as she entered. “Hello” She rasped. “I can get honey to help smooth your throat” Flame said. “Thank you Flame, and can you get me some new moss? These ones are becoming uncomfortable” Flame blinked and looked at Sun. She nodded and dashed out, straight out of camp. She was gathering moss near a tree when a vision appeared in her head. Soul was running past the tree, screaming at the others to catch up. Lily was following slowly. Scout was in front of her. Soul kept running until the ground vanished beneath him. She was jerked back to life by the sound of a patrol. She hid in a bush. “Lily…If you go I will but it isn’t safe.” She could tell it was Scout’s voice. “How can it not be safe?” She asked. “Well you see it can snow any day now. What if it snow’s the day we go out?” he said looking at the ground. Lily shook her head “I trust Soul with my life. I love him Scout” She looked at him. Scout took it like a bullet to the heart. “But Lily he-never mind. I am going with you” Scout said. He looked at his paws. Lily sighed and licked Scout on the head. “We’ll be fine, just trust Soul” She muttered walking back to camp. Scout chased after her. Flame got up and continued collecting moss. When Flame entered camp the sun was beginning to set. She walked to the elder’s den and sat down the moss. She put the old moss out of camp. She walked to medicine dogs den and got some Honey from Coco. She walked back to the elder’s den and gave the honey to Sun. Sun thanked her and Flame walked to the apprentices den. She laid down on her moss and fell asleep quickly. This time Coal was looking at her. “COAL!” Flame screamed running towards her. But she seemed to be getting nowhere. She ran faster and Coal looked at her. Flame stopped, Coal changed from herself to Soul. Then the ground beneath them vanished. She hit the ground waking up again. Lizard and Sky were outside the den sleeping. Flame sighed and looked around. She had torn up her moss. She looked outside to see the sun beginning to rise. Flame ran out, somehow managing to not wake Sky and Lizard. She dashed out of camp. She stopped near the border. She looked up to see the sun had risen. She panted and looked at the water. She licked some up and suddenly she heard someone speaking. “Um..Hello” She looked up to see who it was. She jumped up at the sight of Forestpack leader Bark. Bark nodded to her “So Flame what are you doing far from your pack?” He spoke calmly. (hope it doesn't do what it does on my old site!oh and thats not all

“Um Bark. Can I trust you?” She asked looking at the water. “Well it depends” He said. “Well um I’ve been having these dreams” Bark interrupted her before she could finish about her dreams. “You should talk to your father Flame. Not me” Flame nodded and dashed back to camp. When she entered her father was about to send a search party. “Flame! Where have you been” He licked her. “You worried me” Flame pulled away and looked up at him. She knew he wouldn’t understand. She felt alone, as if no one was her friend, she couldn’t confide in anyone. She sighed and saw Soul and them talking, she shivered. Only another half moon rested between Soul and his fate. She knew she couldn’t talk them out, and going with them will make them angrier. She sighed and looked at her paws muttering “Starpack why do you send me these messages?” She asked. Of course she got no reply. As she entered her den she saw Sky standing there sitting some new moss down for her. “You ready to go training Flame?” Sky asked looking at her. Flame nodded slowly, He smiled and dashed past. Flame slowly followed, her legs felt like rocks. When she reached the training area Red looked at her. “Nice of you to join us Flame” She said. Flame sat down looking at her paws. Red went on talking about different battle moves. Flame looked at Red “Um I have a question” Red nodded “Go ahead” “Well um what if a dog fell down one of those holes.” She shuffled her paws a bit. Lizard and Sky looked at Flame wondering. Flame shook her head and Red paused before answering. “It would be immediate death” Flame’s eyes widened and her pelt prickled. “Ok” Everyone could see her uneasiness. “Thank you Red” She said. “May I ask why would you ask that question?”Red asked. “Wondering it was nothing Red” She said looking straight ahead. She could imagine the small body of Soul laying still, his neck bent out of shape; she shivered. She remembered Soul always was the funniest and most interjected pup in the nursery. She almost shed a tear thinking of him dying. Everyone was staring at her. Flame’s pelt felt hot with embarrassment. Red barked at them to pay attention, she almost thanked her mom. Sky glanced at Flame. Lizard looked at her. Red had to bark three times to get them to look at her again. Red went on talking. Flame looked at her paws. She suddenly made a decision. After they got done training she walked up to the apprentices den. Instead of entering she sighed. She looked at the sky, the sun had vanished. She dashed off quickly. She stopped when she got to the lake, she stood in the water. She took a breath and began to swim; taking the normal route she would have met up with Coco, who was on her way back. She didn’t stop swimming until she reached a small island. She climbed onto it and crawled towards some water. She looked into it; the scent of the 4 medicine dogs surrounded it. She opened her mouth and licked some of it. She fell asleep; when she did she saw Coal, Soot, and Little. “Why do you come young one?” Asked Coal “I want to know why you keep sending me those dreams.” Flame said. “Oh, young one those dreams were sent because we know if you know you will know what to do” Soot had spoken. Little nodded and then spoke “They will continue until the day, you know what will happen. We send them for different reasons actually. It can’t be stopped but just remember where the hole is Flame. Next time you have that dream look around you” Flame didn’t know what he meant but before she could speak the vanished. She woke up and jumped up. She saw the moon had risen fully. She dashed back to camp, some new energy in her. She managed to sneak past the guards and sleep in her den. She dreamed the same dream, she looked at her surroundings, and it looked as if it was closest to Lakepack. She watched Soul fall, she ran off and stopped before she fell in, she looked below to see a mountain lion crouched before the body. She closed her eyes tightly as the mountain lion looked up. This is a dream! It can’t possibly see me! She thought. Soon the mountain lion climbed the ledge, leading up to the top. It stared at something behind her. She looked to see Scout and Lily. “NO!” she screamed as it jumped up. She woke up with Sky and Lizard glaring at her. “Um..” She said. “You screamed no before you woke up.” Sky said. Flame got up and looked outside. She took a small breath and exited the den. Sky looked at his paws. Flame looked around to see Scout, Lily, and Soul talking. Soul was acting like a hero. Scout was watching Soul with disgust. Flame sighed and looked at Lizard. Lizard was stretching and stood next to her. She blinked and walked away, to her father’s den. She sat outside. Red was speaking with K.O. “K.O..I am serous. Is this the prophecy?” He shook his head “Then what?” She said looking at him. “It’s the mountain lion thing. A pup has already died. I thought Flame and Sky were supposed to protect the pack, not make innocent puppies die” He said. “K.O it’s not their fault. The pup wandered off while they weren’t looking” Flame shook her head and K.O raised his head, looking toward her. “Hello Flame.” K.O said looking at her. Flame smiled weakly and entered “Hi I was just wondering if Sky has a position yet. He has nothing else to try” She said. “Oh yes” K.O slowly got up and walked out. He jumped on Cloudrock and howled a deep howl. Flame sat in the back, next to her was Lizard. Sky was entering camp; carrying moss for the elder Sun. K.O looked at Sky “Have you decided?” He asked. “Yes, I wish to be a warrior apprentice” Sky said. K.O nodded then spoke “Red, do you agree?” He asked. Red nodded. “Then I name you before Starpack a warrior apprentice. Serve your pack well Sky” He said before jumping down off of his rock. Flame looked at Sky. Lizard fluffed out his pelt, making him look twice his size. Flame laughed and walked away. Lizard smiled and laughed to, his pelt flattening. Sky returned from the elders den a couple of minutes later. Flame walked up to him. “Hey Sky!” She said smiling. “Hey Flame” He said picking some moss of his pelt. Flame knocks the rest off of his pelt. Sky nodded thanks. “So what are we gonna do today?” Sky asked. “Me and you?” She asked. “No Lizard and I. Yes me and you” He said smiling.
Chapter two Sky looked outside. He expected Flame to come running in from the patrol soon. He couldn’t sleep. The sun was beginning to rise. Flame dashed in and paused staring at him. Her fur was on end. “What’s wrong?” He asked looking at Flame. She looked tired, she had been up since the gathering the day before. “It’s some Scouters! They are gone!” Sky’s pelt was bristling. But something was hidden in his friend’s eyes. It sent a chill deep through his grey and white pelt. He got up and ran out with Flame. Red was saying how they would bring back the Scouters back alive. Sky looked towards Flame, Her eyes showed clear doubt. What makes her think they won’t return? Sky thought questions filling his mind. Flame spoke up. “I wish to lead a patrol” She sounded as if she was a warrior. Red looked at her “Flame your too young” Flame growled “Either I lead one or I run off by myself” Red had no chose but to let Flame lead Sky and Lizard. Flame looked at Lizard. Sky could feel an awkward silence. Red’s voice broke his deep thoughts. “It’s time for the patrol to name where they are going. Flame were shall you lead yours?” Flame spoke with confidence as she said “The territory near Lakepack” Red looked at her questionly then sighed. “Go ahead” Flame didn’t wait to see if the others were following as she dashed out of camp. Sky followed, hot on her heels. Lizard was running next to her. Sky took a breath and took a deep stride, catching up with them. Flame stopped them, up ahead Sky heard wails. Flame approached quietly. She peaked her head above a bush. Sky tried to see but Flame shoved his head down. Lizard snickered and Flame growled. Finally Sky managed to see what was going on. A mountain lion was tussling with Lily and Scout. Flame snarled and jumped out of the bush. Scout looked surprised to see his sister entering, and even more surprised to see Sky and Lizard run into the open space. Sky jumped onto Mountain lion, and Lizard bit its muzzle. The mountain lion knocked lizard away. Sky snarled and jumped down landing next to Lizard. “Dude you ok?” He asked Concerned. “Fine Sky” He growled and got up, refusing to show weakness he jumped back into the midst of the battle. Sky snarled and dashed back, jumping onto the mountain lion. It was small, something that worried Sky. Flame managed to break its front paw by biting super hard. The mountain lion screeched in defeat and ran to its den. Flame stopped everyone from chasing it. “Sky go down into the hole and get Soul’s body” She said. How did she know he came? How did she know he fell? How does she know he died? Sky was about to protest when Flame gave him a look that sent shivers down his spine. Sky walked to the edge, he peaked over it and saw Soul’s body. He felt queasy as he walked around the ledge and brought him up. Lily’s eyes filled with tear “NO!” She screamed running towards him, she buried her head deep into Soul’s pelt. Sky wondered if that had been him would anyone do that. Flame blinked and sent a short mournful howl, joining in was Soul, the Lily, then Scout, last was Sky. Their howl’s only lasted a minute. Soon they heard the scampering of paws. Red’s patrol had reached them. Sky expected Flame to puff out her chest with pride for chasing the mountain lion off but Flame hung her head low, her tears falling onto snow. Sky looked towards Lizard. He was crying too so was Lily and Scout. Red howled and so did her patrol. Then they hung their heads low, crying. Red’s patrol contained Grey and Short, both were brother and sister of Soul. Short blinked away several tears; she put her nose to Soul. Sky looked at Flame, she was uneasy again. She was muttering something’s into Soul’s ear. Lily had flung herself onto him. Scout just laid his tail on her and gave her reassuring licks. Sky shifted his paws uneasily. He hadn’t known soul for long. Flame backed away and turned to Red “He..He fe- fell d-down a hole” She said choking a bit, almost as if the words were stuck in her throat. Sky blinked and nudged his friend. Flame looked at her paws. Red looked at body and she sighed. Red began to choke up too as she spoke “We shall bury him at dawn. Lily I want you to prepare the thingy with the builders” She walked away crying still. Lily nodded slowly and she picked up the body. Lizard looked at Sky then Flame. He nodded a good bye to them and left. Flame began to mutter “I knew. I could have stopped him from running over the cliff” Flame padded away. Sky followed, Flame didn’t move quickly, taking her time. As they approached camp they heard howls of sorrow. Even Darkpack could here that” He said. “It is the way the packs know death has come. It’s a ceremony.” She replied. “How would they know what position?” He asked curious. “How long the howl is” She said. Sky nodded and realized the howl was short because he didn’t have a long life. Sky looked at Flame once more before entering camp. It seemed as if everyone had surrounded Soul’s body. Sky felt tiredness crash on him. Flame walked up to him. “We have to go to Lakepack territory and pick up some roses to put on his resting place.” She said, but before going walked over to Soul’s body and pulled out two tufts of fur. “One For Lily and One for his family” She muttered sensing him about to ask why. Sky nodded and he watched her carefully wrap the tufts of fur up in another piece of fur. “Doesn’t it freak you out that you keep a tuft of the fur around?” Sky asked. She shook her head “It’s all you’ll have left of them except memories.” Flame replied picking up the fur and walking away. Sky blinked and waited for her to return. He focused on the muttering of clan mates. “Are you sure that the pooch actually fought the mountain lion cub?” Muttered a voice to his left. “Yes! What if K.O lets him be a warrior? I waited moons to become a warrior and he just becomes one like that!” Replied another voice. “You don’t know that! K.O hasn’t decided anything yet” the voice that spoke first said again. Sky felt a pelt brush his and he spotted Flame looking at him “We should go” She said walking towards the entrance. Sky followed “Will the pack be back to normal?” He asked. “After the funeral we usually act normal” She said ducking her head under the bush that was the entrance. He followed her “So they forget him just like that?” Sky asked, questions feeling his mind. “No but he lives on” She said following a worn out path. He looked at her confused and she must of seen his look because then she said “He lives on in our hearts, as long as his memory is in our head he will forever live” Sky nodded and his tiredness vanished. He wanted to know everything and what if he was made a warrior? Flame sniffed around then stopped him. He looked confused once again and she kicked a stone onto the ground in front of them, it collapsed and a hole showed. He gulped and they moved around it “I thought warriors couldn’t sense holes” He muttered. “Well I can” She said sharply. Sky nodded and they headed to the border. She stopped at the border and picked up a red flower. “A beautiful rose” She muttered then she plucked it from its stem and sat it on his ear. His ear twitched and she laughed. “Pretty” She muttered picking up more. Suddenly a bush rustled and Flame turned towards it. “I knew it!” Called Lizard as exited the bush. Flame blinked and she looked at Sky. Sky looked between Lizard and Flame. “You said I couldn’t come because you needed your space. But look you brought the pooch!” He growled. “I should have listened to all those whispering dogs in camp!” Flame looked at Lizard. “We are just friends anyways we are APPRENTICES! It’s not like we’re becoming mates Lizard!” She growled. Sky’s eyes widened, they were here to get roses for Soul’s resting place not to fight! Lizard narrowed his eyes, moving his head out of their sight. Sky could see a tear fall to the ground. “It’s either him or me Flame” He growled stomping off. “What just happened?” Flame asked. “Lizard is making you choose between me or him” Sky said, it all had happened quicker than he imagined. Flame looked at Sky. She took a breath then brushed the rose off of his ear. Sky’s paw froze to the ground. She picked up several roses then looked at him. “Good bye” She said running off quickly. Sky’s head spinned, all of this happened so quickly. He sighed and picked up some roses and followed her slowly. He entered camp to see Lizard near Flame, a fire burned in his chest, he believed it was anger. Flame was looking at him and waved her tail, he sighed and waved back. He didn’t know why but he felt as if something was up, something wasn’t right. Flame looked at him then at Lizard; she nodded to him before dashing up to him. Sky realized he wasn’t angry, he was jealous! Flame approached him and smiled. Sky backed away a bit his eyes dark. Flame looked at him offended. “I might be an apprentice but it doesn’t mean I can’t like you”. Sky rolled his eyes and left. He saw the soon to be apprenticed, Freeze playing with her brother Caller. Caller wasn’t focused instead he was making a small den with rocks. Sky sat down watching but then he heard Lily call out to him. “Come on Pooch! We don’t have all day” He realized he still had the roses. He picked them up and sat them next to Lily. Lily nodded then put them down on the vine made board. Sky’s tiredness came down more this time. He felt like he could sleep moons. He walked to his den and when his paws hit the moss he was asleep. He woke up still tired. He heard voices outside the den he strained to hear, it was moonhigh. “Come on we’re just apprentices Lizard!” He recognized Flame’s voice. “Yea but soon we shall be warriors. You know pooches don’t belong here, deep down you know you belong with me not that Waste eater!” Lizard growled. “He isn’t a waste eater first of all second, shut up!” He heard the sound of a body hitting the ground. He looked over to the entrance to see a green tail. Then he saw green paws kicking to get free. Next he saw Flame; she had grabbed Lizard by the throat. Sky’s paws itched to dash out, to run away to his owner. It’s dangerous here! These dogs are trying to kill each other and they’re in the same pack! He pushed the thoughts far away; he wasn’t leaving this pack even if his life depended on it. He heard the sound of paws, he recognized K.O, the leader, the dog who had helped him. K.O separated the two and he growled. Flame looked at her paws. Lizard was glaring at Flame, his eyes darkened. Sky heard muttering then he heard K.O walking away. Flame entered the den and laid down next to the back. Sky closed his eyes pretending to snooze. He soon fell asleep. He woke to the sun on his pelt. He looked at the nests both empty. He exited his den to spot Flame staring at the entrance of camp, focused on something he couldn’t see. He shrugged some questions and looked around. The sun was just rising and all the dogs had formed patrols and things. His heart almost came out of his chest when he noticed Noel and Coco. Coco was talking to young boulder. While Noel was walking up to the warrior apprentice den. She sat down her rocks and then went to work on the den. Sky realized the sun on his pelt was from a hole. Noel smiled as she continued working. Sky walked over and examined her work, his tail wagged a bit. He realized it was wagging a bit late; one of the little puppies snatched it up in her teeth. He flicked his tail away and blushed. Noel laughed and nudged the puppy back to the nursery. She then went back to work, not focused on Sky. Sky sniffed the den, wondering how she made it stay and how the rocks felt so smooth. He smelled the sweet scent of prey. He turned to see Flame entering, her head held high, she walked to the pile and sat her prey down. He looked at Noel; she was busy fixing the den. He bowed his head and began to walk to Flame but was stopped by Freeze and Caller. Caller’s pads were bleeding but he didn’t seem to mind as he stared at Sky. “what?” He asked looking over toward Flame. She had sat down next to Scout and Lily, eating a rabbit. “You don’t belong here! You’re a pooch!” Freeze had spoken. Sky looked at Freeze his eyes challenging. Freeze snorted and held his gaze. Sky placed his paws firmly on the ground waiting for her to jump on him. Freeze didn’t fight, for some reason she just stood there. Sky finally spoke “It doesn’t matter where you come from as long as you have the heart of a true warrior some dogs here are mean but they were born here. Would you show them respect?” He knew his words were true. Freeze was taken back she blinked and thought a moment before snorting. She walked away her nose high in the air and her tail straight up. Sky rolled his eyes then looked towards where Flame was. She wasn’t there, her scent soon filled his nose and he looked around. He spotted her not far away talking to some warriors. He approached and listened to her story. “He fell down the hole! Anyways me and Sky had arrived and fought the mountain lion off with the help of Scout and Lily” Flame was looking at the elder Sun who had arrived. Sky noticed she had missed one name. She had missed Lizard’s name! Lizard was lying in the sun near the fresh kill pile. He flicked his ear ignoring Flame’s story. Flame finished her story. Sun had nodded to Flame “Good story but don’t forget the story of greater dogs” Flame nodded and rolled her eyes. “Cant I have some of the spotlight for once?” She muttered. Sun’s ears must have been working well that day, Sky thought; because she had responded “Flame your time in the spotlight shall come” The elder got up and walked back to her den. Flame looked at Sun wondering. Sky felt a leaf crumble under his paw. He cursed under his breath as he saw Flame turn around. “Oh hi Sky” She replied normally as she walked away. Sky took a breath. He saw Red enter camp, her eyes glimmering. “It’s time for Shaken to become a warrior!” She called running to K.O’s den. Sky watched a dog soon enter after her. Sky remembered Shaken; he had seen him at the gathering. Shaken looked at Sky, nervousness showing in his eyes, and Sky smiled at him. Shaken smiled a weak smile and walked over. Sky watched Shaken, waiting for a snide comment. “Hi Sky, it’s nice to see you. I am becoming a warrior today” Sky nodded at what Shaken said. Shaken looked at Sky curiously. Then shallow entered her eyes glittering a bit. Sky rolled his eyes, Shallow had been Shaken’s friend since they were pups; at least that’s what Sky heard. Shaken nodded to Shallow then turned to Sky “So what’s up?” he asked. “Not much by the way how did you get your name” Sky asked. Shaken laughed a bit “When I was little my mom always said ‘He is shaking again’ so they named me after what my mom said” Sky nodded and looked around. His eyes fell on Flame, for some reason they always fell down on her red pelt. She turned around and he looked at her eyes, her mossy green eyes. He became lost for a moment, something that never happened to him not even when he liked Noel and Coco. Flame must have asked him something because she nudged him. Sky snapped back to reality “huh? Oh sorry please repeat what you said” he said looking at her. “I said want to go hunting? Me and you I mean.” She said shifting her paws. Sky glanced at the sky, making sure the sun wasn’t setting soon. He nodded and Flame led him out. They took a worn down path, Sky’s paws fell into the paw prints from past generations. His pelt tingled, he wanted to know about the past but no one told him. He thought about asking Sun but then he remembered he had ruined her nest. He then felt the ground suddenly head downwards, not expecting it he tripped and tumbled down the hill. Flame dashed after him barking at him, telling him that there might be holes. Sky landed on his paws but was lying down. His head spun, he saw three Flame’s. Flame put her nose to his pelt, feeling for any scratches. Amazingly he was fine Flame licked off some of the dirt. Sky sighed and got up when she was done. At this rate they would be out till dawn. Flame, taking no more time to help him, dashed off. Sky followed and gulped when he saw a big hole in front of them. Where did all these holes come from? The territory must be huge! He thought as he watched Flame almost glide across. When she landed she took no time and dashed off again. Sky took a deep breath and he jumped over it again. He felt his paws touch earth and he then felt himself running again. He had cleared the obstacle with no help. He stopped in some trees. Flame was crouched low. He suddenly remembered the scene in front of him. This was the same place Flame and Lizard showed up, he had been scared. Now he looked at Flame as if he loved her. So much had changed in such a short time. Flame spoke for the first time since they left “Well tonight is the night we bury Soul. He has stayed here too long.” Sky looked up confused. “See we believe they aren’t officially part of Starpack till their buried” She muttered sniffing the air. She then crouched low again. She dashed off; Sky noticed she had a hold of a deer. He ran over to help and he bit it. Flame and he both attacked its throat. They worked as a team to bring it down. Sky watched the Deer fall and collapse at his paws. He wondered what deer tasted like. He had only tasted rabbit and some other things but not deer. “Come on. There’s bound to be herd around but make sure to leave some alive. We need the deer to help us live” She muttered following the scent of deer. Sky followed her then he scented it. Deer was what he scented. “Ok be loud we need them to think we are older and there is more of us” She said. This was the first time Sky had heard about being loud while hunting. He then heard flame yip and bark. She was making a lot of noise. Sky did the same as her; breaking into a run when he saw one dash away. Flame must of seen it too because she was racing beside him after the deer. It kicked at them but Flame moved away so did Sky. The deer ran quickly but Flame closed the distance with a single leap. She jumped on the deer’s back and bit its neck. Sky jumped up and helped her. Flame and he worked as a team again bringing the deer down. Flame carried it to the other deer. Sky picked up the other deer and the helped each other bring it back. Flame and Sky then dropped it on the fresh kill pile. Sky’s stomach growled and he reached for a piece. Flame stuck her tail out to stop him. “See how much Fresh-kill is there? That’s for the feast today. We have it every time a dog dies. We call it the death meal.” Sky didn’t really jump at the idea of the death meal. He was hungry and all he wanted to do was dig into the pile. “It’s worth the wait I promise” She said licking him. Sky sighed and he walked away. Flame followed him for a bit but then kept straight when he turned to the elder’s den. He saw her disappear into the leader’s den. ******* Flame’s pelt bristled. She didn’t want to speak to her farther. She knew he would growl or something, she knew he wouldn’t believe her. “Hello Flame” her farther said off in his own place. Flame sighed and sat down “I knew Soul was gonna die K.O” She said not meeting his gaze. K.O took a sigh and spoke no longer in his own world. “How so?”(Still not all!)

He asked looking at her. Flame then looked up meeting her leader’s gaze. She spoke quietly “I had dreams. He was following down a hole in each one. There was no way to save him” K.O put his head on his paws as if holding it up was too much work. Flame forgot about what she had come to tell him and looked at him worriedly. She didn’t speak just watched K.O stare at a blank wall. She remembered how he was when she was younger, something was bothering him. K.O rose to his paws and he looked at Flame. “You must go young one. We can talk later but I need some time to myself” With that her father left, barely able to hold up his own weight it seemed. Flame sighed and looked outside, K.O was becoming more and more distant each day. ******* Sky sat down in the elder’s den. Sun was looking at a hole in the wall. Sky cleared his throat catching Sun’s attention. Sun looked at him, her eyes still showing no sign of sight but she seemed to be looking at him. He thought about what saying then he spoke his words carefully spoken “The past Cloudpack, What where they like?” He asked shifting his paws nervously. Sun seemed to think for a minute before saying “They were very smart dogs. They loved to be in trees. The agent tradition of hunting hasn’t been lost but it’s taught near the beginning of training. You haven’t tried it before because the mentors wish not to waste their breath. Ask an apprentice to help you” Sky didn’t get the answer he wanted. Still it was nice to know the pack was special like the others. Sky looked at Sun his eyes showing he wanted to know more. The elder laughed “You’re just like Flame when she was young” Sky’s pelt felt hot with embarrassment. Sun smiled and looked at him “You better hurry unless you want to miss out on the burial” Sun said in her normal raspy voice. “Aren’t you coming?” He asked looking at Sun with a serious face. “I can barely walk” Sun said looking at her paws. Sky nodded and left. He spotted Flame leaving the leader’s den. Sky saw Lily leading the dogs out. Scout was with her. Sky sighed; they had lost two lives now. He saw Flame approach him; he looked around acting like he didn’t notice her. She licked his head tears where in dog’s eyes again. He followed Flame out. They followed another worn out path Flame and Sky stayed in the back. Lizard watched them closely. Sky sighed and listened to his surroundings. He almost ran into Flame when she stopped. He saw her walk toward the center near Soul, Flame signaled him to follow. Sky approached her and sat down near the burial place. He wasn’t close to Soul so he felt uncomfortable being up close. They had lowered him in and where burying him when a deep growl filled the meadow. Dogs rushed to protect their mate and pups. Sky was surprised when Scout and Lily huddled together. He was even more surprised to see Flame pressing her pelt against him. He looked over to spot K.O guarding Red. He looked up to see mountain lion entering the clearing. He heard the sound of dogs whispering nervous yelping came out. “We are supposed to have peace when we have a funereal!” Sky heard from a Queen. Flame was the first one up and running at the mountain lion. Scout and Lily followed her. Sky saw the other dogs frozen with fear. He snarled and dashed up to Flame, following her. He spotted Lizard, his mouth opened wide. The world seemed to slow. He saw Flame jumping up in the air to land on the mountain lion. Then he spotted Scout and Lily biting at its feet. Sky jumped on its back joining Flame. Flame and he managed to rip at its ear. Sky got part of his ear ripped at. Flame’s tail was clawed deeply. Flame fell off the mountain lion so did the others. Sky fell beside Flame, licking her wounds. Flame licked at his wounds too and they heard a snarl. Lizard was spitting. K.O stood up his ear twitching. All the dogs where crowded together murmuring “Starpack promised no fighting during a burial!” Said a dog. Some pups yipped in terror. The lion retreated into the woods. The last thing Sky saw before he fainted was Flame resting her head on him. ******* Flame awoke in the medicine dog’s den. She saw Coco mixing herbs and Flame yawned. “Hello sleepy one” Coco said. Flame looked over to see Sky lying next to her. “He awoke before you and refused to leave” Flame forced herself not to wag her tail. She looked outside at the clearing. “I am surprised K.O is still putting off your warrior ceremony oh well K.O has seen many hero’s in his day” Coco said going back to fixing herbs. Flame didn’t care she liked to learn more battle moves before she became a warrior. She laid her head down and yawned. She was still tired. “Its nighttime sweety you might as well rest” Coco looked outside before returning to her den. Flame wondered why Coco was still awake. She didn’t think for long because she fell asleep again. ******* Flame woke up she looked around to spot Coco entering. Coco nodded to her smiling “Feel free to leave Flame” Flame stretched and left. She ran to her father’s den yawning. She peaked in and saw his nest empty. She spotted Red standing at the top of Cloud rock. OH NO! She thought racing to the front. Her panic raised and she thought to herself surely they would have woken me. But the thoughts didn’t help her calm down. “K.O has been missing for the past two days. We are losing hope of finding him and the mountain lions are certainly moving closer.” Red looked at Coco desperately as she exited her den. Coco shook her head no then moved on. Red sighed “Two more days. I give him two more days” She walked down Cloud rock and left. Flame searched the crowd looking for Sky. She spotted him sitting in the back. She ran over to him and nuzzled him. Sky looked at her taken back a bit. “We have to go looking Sky I know it’s been a busy moon or so for you but I can’t shake off this feeling” She shook her head and dashed towards the entrance. Sky followed quickly his mind spinning. Flame dove under some bushes near the entrance and appeared on the other side. Sky followed her but didn’t have time to rest as she dashed off again. Sky followed his paws aching, he had hunted earlier. He saw Flame turning and racing towards Tall trees. Tall trees grew closer and Sky’s heart raced. Flame watched the trees form around her. She jumped landing on a branch. Sky gasped. Flame jumped from branch to branch easily climbing the tree. Sky took a breath and followed. He took his time by the time he was half way up Flame was at the top. Flame took a breath and jumped to the next tree. She landed easily, not looking down. Sky followed he kept wondering how she was strong enough to do this. Flame jumped to the next tree and felt the branch sway underneath her. She didn’t panic just let it settle. She then looked down glancing around. She spotted a brown and white blur sitting in a clearing. She sighed and crouched low getting ready to jump to the tree a lot a tail lengths away. Sky began to panic, it was easy to jump from tree to tree that were only a few tail lengths away but that was a lot! He knew he wouldn’t be able to reach her in time. Flame jumped across, barely landing on the next tree. She sighed and continued jumping till she reached the clearing. Sky jumped down branch by branch and followed her on foot. Flame jumped down branch by branch when she got to the clearing. She looked at the brown and white dog sighing. “Father what’s wrong?” She asked approaching him. “Everyone believes your dead” Sky added walking up to K.O. K.O sighed and looked at Flame “Starpack let that mountain lion attack us” he said, Flame could see his sadness. “I am failing as a leader” He spoke again. Flame looked at Sky and sighed “You are not” She looked at K.O “You’re trying your best and that’s what matters. Some things happen” Sky looked at Flame, he seemed to be worried. Flame wondered why he would be so worried. Sky stood up and looked at K.O “You can’t just turn your back on your pack! They need you more than ever now K.O! Can’t you see that?” he asked looking at him. K.O sighed “What’s the point of going back Sky? The pack is better off with a different leader” Flame became frustrated as she said to him. “K.O! This pack needs you! You’re more blind than a vole!” She said her teeth showing. “Not just the pack needs you but your mate needs you! So do I and Scout!” She stood up her pelt bristling. K.O looked at Flame calmly “You have beaten up what? Two mountain lions?” he then continued to speak “Scout has Lily he has to help her. Red is strong enough to continue without me” Flame felt like ripping her fur out because of frustration. “K.O come back please! I want you to be there when I become a warrior also I want you to be the one who makes me a warrior!” Flame was panicking now, she couldn’t lose her father. K.O looked at Flame sighing “I guess I will return” Flame knocked her dad off his paws licking him. She felt like she would burst from happiness. Sky got up and pushed Flame off of K.O “We have to hurry back to camp” Flame got up and nodded. K.O stood up and shook his pelt. Panic rose in the three dogs as they heard the sound of Snarls, coming from the direction of camp. Flame ran off traveling quickly taking no time to pause and jump over things. She just jumped. Sky followed with K.O beside him. Flame was still in the lead when they reached camp. Flame pushed herself through the bramble and entered camp. Standing in the center nose to nose with Red was Lakepack leader Fish! Beside her were her warriors their pelts bristling.
Chapter 3
Sky’s pelt bristled at the site of Lakepack leader and her warriors. He walked up to Shaken, the newest warrior, and asked “What happened?!” He snarled how long were they gone? “Lakepack is saying we crossed the border!” Sky spotted Flame approach the pack followed by K.O. Red smiled happily at the sight of K.O but her smile faded as Fish snarled. K.O stepped in front of Fish who was snarling angrily. Sky felt as if the whole pack was going downhill. It hardly ever had a rest from trouble. Fish looked K.O in the eye “I thought you ran off, scared” She snickered. K.O stood his ground as he met her eyes “I didn’t run off scared” He snarled. Fish rolled her eyes “We saw your warriors cross our border!” Fish said her pelt still bristling. K.O smirked “Oh Fish didn’t you cross our border to get here?” He asked staring at her. Fish seemed dumbfounded “I-We are allowed” She snarled. “Then we should be able to cross too right?” K.O asked his smile getting bigger. Fish spat “Just wait K.O next time your warriors cross the border you’ll be searching for your pelt” Fish walked away followed by her warriors. Sky sighed happy no fight had happened. “Which one of you guys crossed the border?” K.O asked turning toward his pack. The pack members looked at each other then the newest apprentice Freeze stood up “I was chasing a mouse when it crossed the border” She said her head hung low. K.O’s tail twitched “Where was your mentor?” Shallow swallowed a bit before speaking “I was chasing a deer with some other pack members” K.O looked at Shallow and Freeze “My den. Now” Freeze and Shallow looked at each other before dashing toward his den. Sky looked around spotting Flame talking to Red. He walked towards the elder’s den to check on Sun. When he approached the den he spotted Sun sunning herself on warm rock, it laid outside the elder’s den. “Hi Sun need something to eat?” Sky asked. Sun raised her head yawning then staring at him with her blind eyes. “Sky is that you?” She asked sniffing the air. “Yes it’s me Sun want something to eat?” Sun stood up “No feed the youngster’s and queens first” She said sitting down. “They were already fed” Sky said remembering giving the queens food. “Fine Sky” Sun said yawning again. Sky left heading towards the fresh kill pile. As he picked up a rabbit he heard a familiar voice behind him “Hi Sky” Sky turned around to see Shaken staring at him “Hey Shaken, what’s up” he said impatiently. “Not much we were put on dawn patrol for tomorrow. Flame, Sheep, and Badger will join us” Sky nodded and hastily said “I got to go Sun needs to eat” He walked away quickly. He spotted Sun looking at him; it made him feel weird having the elder’s sightless eyes staring at him. Sun’s bright yellow pelt was now a dull yellow. He began to think of ways to clean it and then he thought he might as well search for ticks too. He sat down the rabbit and Sun nodded her thanks. “Hey sun if you don’t mind I want to clean your pelt and get rid of ticks.” Sun laughed a bit “You want to do that? Most dogs are forced too” Sky sighed “Can I Sun?” he asked thinking. “Sure young one” Sun said taking a bite of her rabbit. Sky ran towards the medicine dog’s den. Sitting on the outside was Boulder; he seemed to be talking to Coco. When Sky approached Boulder said bye and left. Coco looked up as Sky entered. “Yes?” She asked. “I need tick remover” He said sitting down. “Oh hang on” She walked away and returned with tick remover. She handed him the foul smelling herb. He walked away and ran toward Sun. He dropped the tick remover then licked furiously at Sun’s pelt, spitting out the dirt. He almost swallowed the dirt as he saw Flame enter; she had a flower in her pelt. Instead of having dirt all over her pelt she had a clean slick pelt. He wandered what the occasion was. Then it hit him, Flame was becoming a warrior! At least that’s what he thought. He saw K.O enter camp and head toward Sky. Sky quickly finished Sun’s pelt and walked to K.O. “Hello Sky. I know it seems very early but we need more warriors and you guys have proved to be good warriors” K.O then nodded to Flame. “Sky ask Flame to help prepare you” Sky’s heart raced as he ran towards Flame. He almost ran right into her. Flame smiled and sat down cleaning Sky’s pelt. Sky saw Lizard sitting far away; he almost felt pity for him. He had no one to help him prepare, Sky knew Lizard would become a warrior too. Lizard looked at his paws and shuffled them. Sky then felt Flame poke him with her paw. He looked at her and sighed. “It’s ok I got Freeze to prepare him, he’s shuffling his paws because he is nervous” Sky looked back to see Freeze enter her eyes shining as she cleaned his pelt. Sky sighed and licked his pelt nervously. He saw Sun looking up at cloud rock. Sky heard a deep howl. He saw K.O standing on highrock. He walked forward Flame following him. Lizard ran to catch up to them. As they passed the Scouter apprentices Sky spotted Scout nodding at Flame. Sky sat down next Flame, Lizard was next to Flame. Sky looked at Flame who licked a piece of fur that was sticking up on his back. Flame smiled and looked back up. “We have three new apprentices our need for warriors is high and they have saved some clan mates” K.O’s gaze rested on Scout and Lily. “Also they were there fighting the mountain lion that interrupted us.” Sky heard some low growls. Sky heard K.O bark to calm them. “Sky and Flame have proven their loyalty by searching for answers beyond the code. If it weren’t for them I, Scout, Lily, and maybe over half of you wouldn’t be standing here” Sky’s pelt burned with embarrassment when every eye fell onto him and Flame. “Lizard has proven his loyalty by doing what any warrior would do” K.O looked at Lizard. Lizard was obviously disappointed he didn’t get as much praise. “May Starpack light your path, for now you choose your own destiny” K.O howled a long cheerful howl. Sky was surprised when Sun was the second one to howl. Then the others joined in. Sky heard the howls die down. Then he heard Flame howl a lighter howl then the ones Sky had heard. Sky joined in howling a new howl. Then Lizard howled with them. Sky stopped when Flame did. Lizard was last to stop. Flame looked around camp the dogs were coming up to greet them. Sky stuck his head high in the air, he had proven he was a loyal warrior and now no one could deny it. He spotted Sun walking up to them and he smiled. “Young one I knew you would be a great warrior” The blind elder’s gaze fell onto Flame. “You show your father’s courage. Something many dogs don’t have” Then Sun’s gaze went to Lizard who was looking at something else. “You have had lost much yet you stand tall and stay sane” Sun looked back at Sky. “I want you to prove that were you come from doesn’t matter” With that Sun padded to her den. Sky’s paws itched to run out and explore the territory with Flame. “So” He said turning toward Flame and Lizard “We need to go explore the territory and return with a buck right?” Sky asked remembering what Shaken had done, it would be easier for them because there was three not one. Flame nodded and smiled weakly “Let’s go Sky” She walked ahead. Sky felt Lizard’s pelt bristle as he walked past. Sky followed them trotting up to Flame. He wondered when he should ask or if he should ask at all. He felt Flame press her pelt against him “Smell that? It smells like a pooch. Not you though you smell of Cloudpack now but come on” She walked her paws sliding into the old paw prints. Sky followed he had gotten so used to Cloudpack’s smell that pooch scent smelled nasty. When he entered the clearing he sighed and sat down. The scent felt familiar and his pelt bristled as his old friend appeared. Sky stopped himself from running over and nuzzling his friend. He was a warrior now not a pooch. Flame narrowed her eyes she must of saw something Sky didn’t because she was staring at Sky “You know this pooch don’t you?” She seemed to force back a snarl. Sky stared at Kira and smiled “yes I do we’re good friends” he was happy Lizard decided to stay back and hunt. “She’s a pooch” Flame growled. “Um may I speak to Sky alone?” Kira asked looking at Flame. Flame snarled and walked away. (not...all)

Flame looked around her hurt sank; Sky had shown something in his eyes that he had not said out loud. Flame sat down on a rock. “Hi Flame I am sorry about Sky” She turned her head to see Lizard. “I thought you hated me” She said forcing her sadness away. “Well you see I can’t hate you. I don’t love you anymore though. We can be friends right?” He asked sitting next to her. “Yea you waste eater” She said pushing him aside smiling. Lizard smiled too and crouched low “Then let’s fight you Fat furball!” He wagged his tail and tackled her. Flame laughed and knocked him off pinning him. She like playing with her friend again it was like when everything wasn’t confusing. Lizard kicked her off and jumped into the trees. “Catch me if you can!” He called leaping branch by branch. Flame followed laughing chasing his green tail. She suddenly rammed into him on accident and they fell out of the tree laughing. Sky entered with Kira, then it all returned to Flame her jealously bubbling over. “Kira wants to join the pack! How great is that Flame?” he looked at her making Flame look at her paws. She couldn’t admit how she felt she would seem like a love sick puppy “It’s great” she said almost silent. Lizard pressed his pelt against her trying to make her feel better. He muttered in her ear “I lost you to him now if he doesn’t see you’re meant to be I will make sure his face will never look the same again” Flame looked at Lizard wagging her tail as she stood up. Flame nodded to Sky “Fine but she must join as an apprentice that’s the rules, take her to camp to K.O don’t pause to answer questions or to catch up we need to catch that buck before Dawn” Flame put her nose in the air and held her head high as she walked past. Lizard followed and looked at Sky “You break Flame’s heart you’ll be searching for your pelt for the next moon” He then followed Flame. Sky’s ears twitched and he left. Flame sniffed the air waiting for the scent of Deer then she heard it the sound of pounding hooves heading straight toward her and Lizard!
*******
Sky entered camp and lead Kira to K.O’s den. He told K.O what happened and K.O decided to test her before he did anything. Sky nodded and left the den. Then he heard the sound of howls in terror, the clan was asleep by now they couldn’t possibly hear the howls. Sky dashed off his pelt burning as the brambles left scratches but he couldn’t possibly stop not with his Flame out there. Did I just call her my Flame? He thought but he pushed it away as he approached. He saw deer running past him dodging them easily. Then he saw it a mountain lion chasing them. Sky yowled and raced toward the lion snarling. It stopped and turned toward him. It smelled of milk no doubt it had cubs. He dashed off heading down the path but he didn’t head towards camp he headed toward the hole. He plummeted down but landed on a ledge the mountain lion plummeted to its doom. He watched it fall and his heart raced that had almost been him. Then finally it hit him, the lion wasn’t dead. But he couldn’t do anything about it now he had to make sure Flame was safe. He raced down into the clearing hearing barks of desperation. It hit him, the barks were Flame’s. Panic hit him as he saw her Red pelt. It was messy from the hooves. The last thing he heard from Flame was a groan then her eyes closed. He panicked more how could he have left Flame alone?! He spotted Lizard lying not far away groaning in pain. Sky licked Flame’s pelt wishing she would speak again give him the slightest bit of hope. Flame didn’t speak or move just lay still. Her slight breathing made Sky a tiny bit happy. Sky looked at Lizard then Flame. He shoved Flame onto his back and dragged Lizard away. ********* Flame woke up to see a grey pelt mixed in her red one. She spotted Sky sleeping beside her. She licked his pelt. Coco entered the den and looked at Flame “You’re very lucky. He has been here since he brought you in here. He wouldn’t even leave to get some food” Flame smiled slightly. She then got up and he fell down waking up suddenly. “You’re awake!” He said licking her pelt. Flame pushed his head away with a paw. Sky frowned but his playful smile returned and he tackled Flame. Coco laughed “Both of you warriors and you still act like puppies! Now go play outside. Wait, I need to talk to Sky” Flame nodded and left. ********* Sky looked at Coco. “You should do what you’re thinking” Coco said staring at Sky. Sky’s pelt burned “I don’t know” Coco rolled her eyes “Ok wait till it’s too late!”She said calling over her shoulder as she left. Sky sighed and looked outside. He spotted Flame playing with some pups. He took a breath and walked out. “Flame I have a question!”
Chapter 4 Flame looked up to see Sky approaching her. Fawn looked at Flame with her green eyes making kissy noises. Flame laughed and pushed Fawn down. Fawn laughed her cute little laugh. Flame felt Sky pull her aside. Sky looked at Flame’s eyes. Flame smiled “You had a question?” Sky snapped out of his trance again. “Flame well we’ve been through a lot even though I haven’t known you forever I would like to have you around-” He was stopped by Flame putting her nose to his. “Stop you’re rambling and say it” Sky said it quickly looking at her nose which was still touching his. “Will you be my mate?” Flame suddenly pushed him down. “Yes” She said licking his cheek. Sky smiled and knocked her off. “You know what Flame? I knew you would say yes” He said smirking teasing her. “Oh really, what makes you think that pooch” She said teasing him back. Sky smiled “It’s pretty obvious you like me” Flame rolled her eyes and knocked him back down walking away to Fawn. Fawn jumped on Flame and Flame swayed around falling down. She made it quite dramatic as she fell down. Sky then approached Flame. “That wasn’t funny” He must of landed in some bushes because he had leaves and mud all over him. Flame forced herself not to laugh. Fawn of course burst out laughing. Flame then burst out laughing too. Sky narrowed his eyes smiling “Want to laugh huh?” He picked Flame up, throwing her onto his back. Then picking up Fawn and tossing her onto his head. He walked over to the bush. “NO!” Flame screamed trying to get away. Sky got on his back paws and Flame slid into the bush screaming. Fawn giggling as she fell onto Flame. Flame pushed Fawn into mud. Fawn laughed more and Sky laughed too. Flame smirked as she tackled Sky “Come on Fawn let’s get the mountain lion!” Fawn ran up to Sky and nipped at his ears. Flame pinned Sky down with her muddy paw. Sky squirmed underneath trying to get free. Fawn bent down and jumped on Sky’s stomach. “I’ll get you mountain lion!” She squealed. Sky roared trying his best to sound like a mountain lion. Fawn puffed out her chest and nipped at his nose. Sky knocked Flame off then shook Fawn away. Fawn ran back jumping on his face. Flame smiled then saw Freeze run in quickly. She then saw Shallow chasing after her. “K.O, Lakepack ambushed us!” She screamed. Freeze’s pelt was bristling. Flame looked at Sky then Fawn. “Fawn we have to go, we’ll play later” When she and Sky were out of hearing she muttered “If we return”. Lizard exited the warriors den, he must have woken before me, Flame thought. Lizard ran to Freeze “You ok?” He asked. Freeze nodded smiling “I gave one a bite he won’t forget!” Flame’s head was spinning. All of this happened fast, as usual. Flame saw K.O approach them “Take Flame, Sky, Lizard, Shaken, Grey, and Short” Grey and Short approached them nodding. When everyone was gathered they dashed off. Flame reached the border first. She spotted Fish wrestling with Caller. He’s a Scouter not a warrior! Fury raged in Flame as she knocked Fish away. “Keep your fishy paws away from him!” She snarled. Fish landed in the stream. Flame jumped into the water pushing Fish under. “Let’s see if Lakepack can breathe under water!” She said growling. Caller hid in some bushes, scared to death. Flame let go of Fish, who came up gasping for air. Flame snarled again and jumped out of the river dodging all the fighting dogs. She crouched next to Caller’s bush and checked him over. She found a deep gash in his side. Caller swayed a bit before falling down, fainting. “Freeze, I need you to get Caller back to camp, NOW!” Freeze looked at Flame dashing over. Freeze snarled her eyes darkening as she looked at her brother’s deep gash. She dragged him away. Flame looked for Fish, anger boiling over again. She spotted Fish slipping further into the territory. This isn’t a regular battle! They are trying to get to our camp! Flame looked into the trees, spotting a close branch she jumps on it. She crouches low hiding beneath the leaves. Fish was crouched low passing the branch. Flame howled and jumped on Fish. Fish yowled in pain as she collapsed. She bit deep into Fish’s ear, Fish made a mistake by yanking her head away. Flame looked at Fish’s torn ear. She smiled proudly and pushed Fish away “Call off your warriors or else” She snarled. “Or else what?” Fish asked. Flame didn’t have time to answer; she heard a squeal from the border. She spotted Fawn struggling in a Lakepack warrior’s grip. Flame looked at Fish then the Lakepack warrior. “You’re a no good crook!” She snarled dashing off. Flame heard another squeal. She spotted Frost, the white puppy’s pelt stood out. Then Fawn’s little brother, rabbit. Flame didn’t make it in time, the dog’s had crossed the border and where dashing off. Flame looked around spotting Sky dodging a dog then saw Lizard battling a warrior with Freeze, who must have returned from camp already. “Sky, Freeze, and Lizard come here!” Sky, Lizard, and Freeze looked at her before dashing over. “We need to save those puppies. Now you can either stay here fighting a distraction or come save the pups” Freeze and Lizard looked at each other before responding “We’ll go” Lizard said speaking for Freeze who was nodding. “I will too” Sky said looking at Flame. Flame didn’t smile, she was worried. “Ok let’s go now” Flame dashed off, Lizard, Freeze, and Sky following. Flame followed the smell of Fish and trees. She then stopped when she heard the sound of pack life. Flame muttered “Stick together and we’ll ambush them” They all nodded and Flame looked for some trees. Luckily the camp was surrounded by them. Flame jumped in the nearest one. She landed on a branch that swayed under her. She jumped to another tree’s branch. Freeze followed then Lizard. Last was Sky who was still nervous about being in trees. Flame followed the tree’s branches till she could see the camp. Flame jumped up landing on a higher branch. Lizard and Freeze stayed below her but Sky climbed next to her. Freeze looked for a signal, when she saw it she jumped down. Flame landed next to her, Sky landed next to Flame, while Lizard landed next to Freeze. Flame howled loudly making the queens back away. Flame looked around howling again. Then she heard a howl respond, it was tiny but she could tell it was from the leader’s den. “I’M COMING FAWN!” Flame called dashing straight toward the leader’s den. “Lizard, Freeze I need you to guard” Flame said dashing into leader’s den, Sky following. Flame saw the pups not guarded but shivering. She picked Fawn and Frost up while Sky picked up Rabbit. “So nice of you to join us” Said an ice cold voice. Flame turned to see about four Lakepack warriors, they tossed Freeze and Lizard in. “Now I hope you enjoy your very long stay”. The warriors turned around to guard the entrance. Flame looked at Fawn, Flame’s panic reflected in the pup’s eyes. Flame growled not going to give up. “Sky do you think we could charge them” She whispered. Sky looked up still holding Rabbit, he nodded. Flame looked at Sky and nuzzled him “If we don’t live I want you to know I have believed in you the whole time, I just never showed it” Flame then looked at Lakepack dogs. “I love you Flame” Sky said staring at her. “I love you too Sky” She replied. She spotted Freeze and Lizard saying their good byes if they didn’t return. Flame picked up Fawn, and gave Frozen to Lizard. Flame managed to say “CHARGE!” through the brown fur of Fawn. Flame ran off her heart pounding. The Lakepack warriors separated from surprise as Flame and the others dashed pass. Flame ran quicker and jumped onto a branch. She followed the branches to the border smiling. Fawn was teasing the Lakepack warriors following them on foot. Flame saw the river and took a breath she was going to take the largest leap and fall she had ever taken. She pushed off with her back legs and she felt the world slow. She could see all the other dogs fighting at the border still. Flame landed with a thud on the other side. She looked around spotting the others. She took a deep breath ignoring the stinging in her paws she dashed back to camp. She felt the bramble tug at her pelt as she entered the camp. She fell down her heart racing. “We did it!” She howled a howl of victory, putting Fawn down first. Sky joined in sitting Rabbit down. Lizard sat Frozen down and howled. Crystal and Song stuck their heads out of the nursery. “My pup!” Crystal exclaimed happily running to her pup. Song ran over licking both her puppies. Flame finally felt the pain in her side, paws, and almost everywhere. She collapsed not fainting though. She closed her eyes, still not fainting. Sky sat down next to her, but then collapsed landing on her. Flame could hear voices around her “Is she ok?” “She looks fine” “They saved the puppies!” “So young too” “I heard Flame made a large leap” “Should we wake them?” “No not yet let them rest Flame woke up only an hour ago from her coma” “Coma? What’s that mamma?” “It’s when you sleep a long time to heal.” “Oh” “Should we take them to the medicine dog’s den at least?” One voice stood out, “You saved my little sister, and I owe you a lot Flame.” Flame still had her eyes closed but she saw Soul staring at her. “I hope Lily still loves me” he muttered. “She needs to move on Soul, she has Scout now” Soul snarled. “Scout doesn’t deserve her he controls her, he tried convincing her not to go exploring for the mountain lion with me!” He proclaimed. “She almost got killed Soul” Flame snarled “Scout and her are better than you and her you know why? You would of killed you, her, and Scout” Flame then vanished. She opened her eyes to see Sky sleeping next to her in the warriors den. Flame licked Sky on the head and he opened his eyes “Its moonhigh Flame, you should sleep till morning” Sky said closing his eyes again. Flame put her head on him and closed her eyes. ************* The next day Flame woke to the sound paws outside the den. She looked up to see Fawn yawning, and pacing outside the den. “What?” Flame asked looking at her. “I’m gonna be a warrior apprentice soon! Guess who I suggested to be my mentor?” Fawn asked wagging her tail. “Red?” Flame asked getting up stretching, her muscles showing as she did so. Fawn gasped “Will I be as strong as you when I get older?” She asked looking at Flame. Flame shrugged and sat down yawning. “Who’d you request to be your mentor Fawn?” Flame said quickly changing the subject. Fawn wagged her tail, it thumped on the ground. Her eyes shining as she spoke “You! And Sparrow, Frozen’s brother asked to be Sky’s apprentice!” Flame’s tiredness washed away, her eyes sparkling. “You sure K.O would agree?” She asked trying to keep her excitement hidden; some of the warriors who had been warriors for a couple of moons didn’t have an apprentice yet! “Yes, you and Sky have saved the clan before and me” Fawn smiled. Flame rolled her eyes and looked at the den. She spotted Sky shaking his pelt. Flame told him the news and his eyes sparkled like hers. “Finally you two are awake!” Called a voice, Flame turned to see Zing running over to them. “We need you guys to patrol the borders” Flame nodded and looked at Sky. Sky smiled and nodded. Flame dashed off Sky following her, his pelt against hers. When they reached the border Flame sniffed around. She felt the blood of dogs on her paws. She then heard the sound of paws. Scout and Lily entered quickly panting “YOU LEFT WITHOUT US!” Scout said between pants. Flame looked at them “Sorry I’m full of energy” Scout nodded and shifted uneasily. “Hey did you guys here we are Scouters now” he gave them a fake smile and licked his fur. Lily shifted her paws too and nodded. “That’s great!” Flame said wagging her tail. Lily looked up and asked Flame “Can we go talk?” Flame nodded and they padded up stream together. Flame looked back and saw Scout talking to Sky. When they were far away Lily spoke. "I think to myself maybe just maybe if I close my eyes I will open them waking from my nightmare, not just that but I won’t be in constant torture. I love Scout but my heart was given to Soul and he is refusing to give it back" Flame looked up from sniffing the border staring at Lily. "He's not refusing to give it back, your refusing to take it. Lily you’re the only thing standing between you and Scout's love. I understand it’s hard to move on but you must know Scout is not leaving you nor is he going to die. Soul's gone" Flame tried to stop the last two words from escaping. Lily looked at Flame tears rolling down her white fur. Flame sighed, how could she convince her friend that Scout was her soul mate? Soul would have gotten them killed in a heartbeat. Flame felt helplessness return. She felt a pelt press against her. Flame turned to see Soul his dark green eyes shining. "Flame tell her I want her to move on, that I can see we weren’t meant to be" Flame looked at Soul; he was fading soon all that was there was a breeze. Flame sighed and stared at Lily, she had to say what Soul had told her. The only question was how. Lily sighed and looked at the sky. Flame spoke trying to sound confident “Soul wants you to move on Lily, he understands” Lily looked up “He told you that didn’t he” She said her eyes shining. Flame nodded and Lily looked around “If I could say good bye to him I would be ready to move on” Flame stood up waiting for his eyes to show up. Soul stood in the clearing. Lily must have seen him because she rushed over and pressed herself against him. “Move on Lily we aren’t meant to be” Lily looked at him, her eyes wide. “Good bye Lily” Soul said looking at her eyes. “Good bye Soul” She said but it was too late the space that once occupied the dog was hollow nothing there but grass it wasn’t flattened either. Lily stood up and Flame looked at her. “He returned my heart and I accepted it, now I have to give it away again” Lily said looking at the ground. “You don’t have to give it away Lily” Flame said. “I want too I love Scout” Flame remembered hearing that certainty when she was younger, when Lily told Scout she loved Soul. Flame’s paws shook she knew Soul was gonna die and she did nothing, did Soul blame her? Did Starpack? She had to tell someone she knew deep down she needed to. She then realized Lily was still standing there. “I need to say something Lily, I can trust you right?” Lily nodded. “I knew Soul was gonna die I didn’t do anything either” Lily stood frozen deep in thought almost trying to process what she was told. Lily then stood up staring Flame dead in the eyes, if looks could kill Flame would dead. Flame’s pelt prickled and Lily snarled “You killed him!” Flame’s eyes flashed full of anger. “NO I DIDN’T MAYBE YOU SHOULD LISTEN MORE!” Lily spat and looked at Flame “I am going to tell the whole pack you’re a freak and a killer” Lily dashed off snarling. Flame stood still her eyes widened, so much had just happened. Sky dashed in to stop the fainting from shock Flame from falling. Flame closed her eyes. ********** Flame woke up in the medicine dogs den. Coco was laying down “You seem to be in here a lot” Coco Said. Flame looked up to see Sky pacing outside. Flame struggled to her paws and walked out. She saw dogs glare at her their eyes dark. She managed to hear one say “She doesn’t deserve Fawn as an apprentice, She’ll just see her death and ignore it” Flame’s pelt prickled. K.O stood up staring at Flame. Flame shifted uncomfortably her father’s eyes burning into her pelt she wondered if he was angry or sad or didn’t care. Flame looked around and her only comfort was Sky exiting the warrior den yawning. His smile made her feel a tiny bit better. He walked over to her and licked her face looking at the other dogs challengingly. Flame listened and she heard no other voices speaking of her. Sighing she stood up and looked at Sky. Sky smirked and nodded toward the entrance of camp. “I have a present for you out there” Flame looked at Sky questioningly but he said nothing just smiled and stood there. Flame muttered under her breath “Everything moves so quickly know don’t you think?” She said moving toward the entrance. Sky followed smiling bigger. Flame dove under the bush and felt a tail go over her eyes. “No peaking let’s move” Sky said moving forward. Flame followed only tripping over every little thing on her way there Sky’s way of apologizing was telling her to move quicker. Sky finally stopped and Flame ran into him. “Stop moving” He said. “Thanks” Flame muttered sitting down. Sky removed his tail and she gasped.
Chapter 4 Sky smiled and looked at Flame’s reaction. Her eyes were glittering with delight. He puffed out his chest; full of pride. Lizard exited his bush Freeze next to him “what do you think Flame?” He asked. “It’s-It’s beautiful!” Sky looked back to the roses that were scattered across the ground and the one sky blue rose that was intertwined with the flame red one. He had found it near a rose bush already intertwined. Flame smiled and looked at sky “What do those two roses stand for?” Sky had a feeling she already knew but wanted to hear it from him. “It means my path is intertwined with yours” Flame nuzzled him and licked his pelt. Sky remembered when they were younger and how almost every word Flame said to him was an insult. Sky then fell over, Flame knocking him down. She smiled and laughed. Sky rolled his eyes and knocked her off. Flame snorted and pushed him away with her paw “Pooch” she said. Gasp escaped the dogs their mouths wide open. Flame looked at them “Seriously, you guys can’t take a joke” She muttered. Lizard looked at Freeze and she shrugged. Sky rolled his eyes again and looked at Flame “Joking are we waste eater?” he said in a joking voice. Flame smiled again and nodded “Of course small brain” Flame told him looking at the roses again. Sky smiled and licked her head “Shall we head back?” Lizard nodded and walked quickly away with Frozen. Flame’s ear twitched and she smirked at a thought. Sky wondered what it was but didn’t think long as Flame stood up and walked away. Sky followed his paws slipping into the paws prints. An image flashed in his mind. He was no longer seeing through his own vision but some other dogs he could even hear its thoughts. It was listening to an empty sound, a hole. Sky never could hear this well! The dog’s eyes opened suddenly and Sky noted that the ground was not covered in paw prints; it was just a clear path. Snow was lying near the side of it as if some dog had pushed it away. He also saw a red and white dog streaking across the path his red pelt standing out against the dirt and snow. Sky soon felt the dog running faster and faster its thoughts a blur of images. Sky made out a light tan dog with dark green eyes she was in the dog’s memory! The only question was who was she? He snapped back to the image and he saw the dog leaping above the small red dog. He felt his paws land on hollow ground. He saw the snow crumple to give way to a hole. His heart lurched and he could hear the dog yowling out “I LOVE YOU HONEY!” As it fell down the hole, time slowed down and he could make out the hole, its curves and every ledge. He felt his paws land on a ledge, excitement surged through the dog. Sky felt the dog’s tail wagging, but it didn’t last for long as the ledge gave away the dog clawed its way up trying it best. Sky stared at the dog’s claws they were blunt and his paws where Black. He spotted a brown dog rushing down the side towards them; the dog gave up all its strength disappearing as it fell plummeting down. He saw the dog twist and make itself falling straight down. Sky felt the wind pierce his pelt making it hurt worse but the fall wasn’t far. He saw the ground and he hit it. A sharp pain went through him something that felt as if a hundred mountain lions were tearing him apart then it all vanished. He was standing on the path his paws still in the old paw prints. He saw Flame streaking across the dirt toward camp, he howled and Flame stopped kicking a stone before her. The almost melted snow fell collapsing. Flame gasped and turned to Sky who was looking at the sky. His pelt bristled and he looked at the ground. He gasped when he saw a pair of black paws and a pair of honey colored paws. “I am honey” Said the honey colored dog, also could be described as a light tan dog. The black dog, he remembered him he was the dog who had fallen! “I am Snake we are part of the very first Packs.” Honey nodded “We have come to warn you! The greatest danger is the most common!” Sky stood still his paws frozen to the earth. The dog’s vanished and he looked around to see Flame staring at him. Sky shook his head and walked back to camp. When he entered he noticed all the dogs where getting together. “A gathering is tonight!” Frozen called. Sky nodded and looked at K.O who was sitting outside his den discussing something with Red. Boulder and Blazer, leader of the Scouters, looked at K.O “ready to go?” K.O shook his head “I can’t go, I feel Sick” Red nodded “Me too!” she said. Everyone gasped “A gathering without a speaker?” Called a voice, Sky’s stomach clenched and he wondered what the other packs would think. K.O stood up “I know a loyal dog that can go for me. Flame you can go!” Sky heard a snarl of protest from the back.
Chapter 5 Flame turned to see the eldest of warriors, Shatter looking at them. “She can’t go in your place K.O! You need a professional warrior like me” He said looking at Flame directly now. Flame’s pelt bristled and she approached Shatter “Only a foolish warrior would question his leader” She met his eyes and held his gaze. Shatter snorted and looked at Flame “Want to Fight Flame? You don’t scare me!” Shatter challenged. Flame snorted “Again only a foolish warrior would fight on New moon!” Shatter bunched his muscles together and knocks Flame down reaching for her throat with his teeth. Flame didn’t want to fight so she just tried to shove the warrior off. He was too heavy, Flame fought for breath. She soon couldn’t breathe, her panic rising as she opened her mouth trying to swallow air instead she couldn’t her energy began to fade. She heard a yowl from Cloud rock. “SHATTER! GET OFF OF HER YOUR KILLING HER!” Shatter backed off snarling. Flame gasped her breaths feeling like claws. She kept gasping until she could breathe easily. She got up and stumbled over to Sky who caught her before she fell. Sky smiled and let her lean on her shoulder. “You may stay behind and do apprentice duties” K.O said staring at Shatter who looked down ashamed. Flame glared at Shatter before walking to K.O “Want me to go still?” K.O nodded “Any dog questions you remind them of what you have done” Flame nodded and walked away. She stopped near the entrance and looked around. She saw the Scouters standing behind her ready to sniff out danger. Behind them laid the Builders then last were the warriors waiting for their chance to run up and protect the builders. Flame sighed and slid under the bush. She heard other dogs follow. She dashed off fast, crossing over the Lakepack border and paused to look back at her pack. She took a breath and ran faster not slowing down until she heard the dog’s up ahead. She ran faster then stopped before she fell down the hill. She slowly made her way down into the moonlit clearing. She smiled noticing all the dogs talking as if they were clan mates. She spotted Fish eyeing her then she saw Shadow standing proudly near the edge of Pack rock. She looked for Bark her eyes caught him in the center of Pack rock looking down on the dogs. She walked over and sat down. (not all...not even end of first book)

“Red and K.O couldn’t make it they have decided to send me in their place” She said looking at them. Bark and Shadow nodded but Fish glared at Flame refusing to show her approval. “Just because I stole our puppies back doesn’t mean you have to be evil” She muttered climbing onto the rock. Shadow smiled being friendly with Flame. Flame relaxed as she sat down next to Bark and Shadow. Fish stood up and howled when everyone turned to face her Fish looked at Flame smirking “I would like to go first” Fish said. All the dogs in the clearing nodded. “Not much to report except Cloudpack is full of thieving Waste-eaters!” Flame’s pelt bristled, her teeth forming a snarl. Fish smirked “we had some puppies hiding in my den as we were brutally attacked by Cloudpack. Bark if I were you I would watch my border those mangy waste eaters have neither code nor mercy” Fish continued. Flame couldn’t hold her tongue anymore she knew it was disrespectful to talk while a leader was talking but she couldn’t let her pack be shamed! “You liar, you fake attacked us then tried to steal our puppies! When we went to get them your warriors trapped us in your den! You were gonna make us your slaves Fish this is intolerable!” Flame said stepping to the edge of Pack rock. Mummers of agreement rose from Cloudpack. Fish snarled “Flame you little waste eater! You think you’re all that well this might make you think differently!” Fish crouched low her teeth showing. As she jumped Bark stepped forward, she rammed into his shoulder and fell down her nose bleeding “No fight shall happen tonight! Fish you may stay here and be quiet or go” Bark said growling. Fish stood up not willing to go she sat down snorting. Bark nodded to Flame and stepped back. “We lost a Scouter apprentice thanks to a hole in our territory, we hope the weather will warm up and the snow will melt. Hunting is fine and there has been a spotting of Mountain lion on our territory but nothing out of the normal” She stepped back nodding to Bark. Bark nodded back to her and stood up standing near the edge. He still had some of Fish’s blood on his shoulder. His brown pelt lit up in the moonlight when he stood up. He also looked a lot bigger Flame began to wonder what would happen if she went into battle with him. She shivered and then began to focus on what he was saying. “Forestpack is doing well no reports of mountain lion and also all the holes where found by the Scouters before any dog fell” Boulder nodded to Shadow who nodded back and stood up. Flame finally noticed the matted pelt and Shadow’s rib cage. She felt like shivering again the leader looked skinny and defenseless. “We need more territory! My pack is starving from loss of prey; we lost a litter of puppies because the queen couldn’t give them milk. Please I am begging you Bark, something I hardly do!” Shadow’s eyes were mad and it was easy to tell she hasn’t slept in a while. Bark stood up and looked at Shadow “You may have the territory with no trees it’s useless to us” Shadow bowed her head “Th-Thank you B-Bark, My pack owes you!” Bark looked at Shadow “You owe us nothing without four packs there would be fights” Shadow nodded and stepped back. Flame felt uncomfortable, had she seen Fish’s eyes light up when she figured out Lakepack was weak? No it mustn’t be true Fish wasn’t even that heartless but still she would keep her eye on Lakepack leader. Fish looked at Bark “This meeting is dismissed” She said jumping down and running off. All the Lakepack dogs followed. Bark nodded his goodbye to the rest of the packs and left with his pack. Flame ran to Shadow before she ran off “If you ever need help come to our pack, I know you don’t want to look weak but I think Fish has plans for your pack” Shadow didn’t speak just stared at Flame and nodded before leaving. Flame dashed to the front of her pack and lead them back to camp. K.O looked up from where he was laying down when they entered. Flame looked at her paws scared to tell her father about what she told Darkpack. K.O said nothing just rested his head and closed his eyes. Flame took a breath and walked up to Sky who was sitting outside the warrior dens thinking. Flame smiled a fake smile and licked him on the head. Sky smiled to her and she could tell something was bothering him but she didn’t say anything instead she leaned on him taking in his scent. He still smelled of pooch but Cloudpack scent mixed into it. She closed her eyes, an image flashing before her. She was running fast to the Darkpack territory. She was there when she heard a yowl from Sky “What?” She asked, “The mountain lion is attacking!” He said. Flame’s heart pounded against her chest, no, no this can’t be happening! She saw Sky dash back to camp. Flame yowled at Scout to head to Darkpack territory. The image faded and Flame opened her eyes to see Sky snoring lightly beside her. She smiled slightly and rested her head on him falling asleep. ***** Flame woke up to see Sky looking around. She pushed her pelt against him the air was icy cold. She wondered if any dog had caught Death cough yet. She shook her head and got up yawning and stretching. She took a breath and walked away she saw a couple of warriors huddled together. She looked around and sighed. She left through the exit and kept walking stretching her muscles more and more. She then picked up speed dashing quickly towards Lakepack. When she entered she heard an odd silence. She sniffed at the border, it hadn’t been marked today. She panicked sniffing the air trying to sniff for Lakepack but she caught no scent. She closed her eyes and listened. She heard dog’s moving quickly through some undergrowth. Near Darkpack border, she opened her eyes quickly. She dashed off her paws not carrying her fast enough in her opinion.
Chapter 6 Sky took yawned waking up. He stretched his muscles and looked around camp. He had saw Flame leave camp and didn’t bother to follow her assuming she wasn’t doing anything. He shook his pelt fluffing it out, he saw Shatter cleaning up the elder’s den. He smirked happy to see him doing apprentice duties. He spotted Lizard talking to Frozen their pelts brushing each other. Sky looked around spotting Sun laying down on hot rock. He walked over and put his muzzle to her face. The elder looked up at him. “Hello young one, do you seek help?” She asked. “No Sun” He said. “Then go away and let me rest” She said laying her head down. Sky laughed and prodded her with his paw. Sun snorted and shoved him away. Sky frowned and sat down. The elder must have been grouchy today. He looked around again trying to see if Flame had returned. He saw Flame running in from the entrance; she was a flash of Red as she ran towards K.O’s den. Sky could feel anxiety in his mate. He shook his head and ran after her. He entered the den, a blast of warmth hitting him as he entered. He looked around and spotted Flame quickly telling K.O what had happened. He caught a couple of words “Darkpack…Lakepack…attack” Was all he heard. He knew what it meant too Lakepack was ambushing Darkpack! His pelt bristled and he looked at K.O waiting for the leader to give him a command. K.O looked at Flame “I didn’t tell them I would help you did. You must help them Flame, command the warriors to do what you say” Flame nodded shaking, most likely nervous. Sky put his pelt to hers and she looked up, surprise showing in her face. She then dashed out her heart racing. Sky walked out slowly. When he got out he spotted Flame leaving with a patrol of dogs. Sky walked out of camp and looked around. He looked around and sniffed for Flame’s scent when he was far away from camp he heard a growl. He turned towards camp. He dashed off his heart racing. When he got to the entrance he heard a howl of terror. He entered and saw Noel laying on the ground blood pooling around her. Sky shook his head and howled deeply wishing Flame was here. He need her, he dashed off to go get his mate! ********* Sky felt branches slap his pelt as he dashed through the trees toward Flame. He jumped out of the trees and landed on the ground outside Darkpack territory. He spotted a red pelt talking to some dogs. Sky took a breath and raced toward the red dog. He almost ran into Flame, but he stopped just in time. Flame looked at him he could tell she knew what he was gonna say. He finally thought of what he heard from Shadow, the most common enemy was Mountain lions! He shook his head shaking the thought away “Flame-“ He was cut off by her commanding Scout to go over the border and help Darkpack. “Let’s go now Sky!” She yowled running off. Sky followed his heart racing. ******** Sky panted as he jumped out of the trees and into camp. He fell down next to Noel listening to her heart. He closed his eyes blacking out. ******* Flame watched Sky black out and she dashed at the mountain lion nearing the nursery. She hit herself against its shoulder. It stumbled sideways and collapsed. Flame jumped on its back and bit its neck but it had gotten up and knocked her away. Flame fell in a heap on the ground. She got up and ran at the mountain lion. Instead of Slamming against its shoulder she slid under it and bit its stomach. The mountain lion got on its hind legs and clawed at her. Flame dodged its blows and pushed off its stomach, she fell away holding skin and fur in her mouth. She spit it out and bit the mountain lions muzzle. It lashed out at her, she saw it coming and she swung herself onto it. The mountain lion growled frustrated as it clawed at her more. Flame took a breath and lunged at its neck. She dug her teeth into it then pulled at it tearing its neck open. Flame fell down beside the now fallen mountain lion. It’s blood forming around her paws. It was dead, it was all over.

Warrior dogs book two! By Elizabeth Ingram
Prologue A red dog sniffed around her mossy green eyes sparkling. The dog paused she sneezed and shook her head. She sneezed again, she looked around and the trees vanished turning into a vast land full of Sand! She looked around panicking she was no longer in her territory! She saw a light purple dog with hair in its eye running around chasing a rabbit. The rabbit escaped and the dog cursed under its breath. “The pack will go hungry!” The dog said troubled by the thought of her pack dying. The red dog walked forward towards the dog. The dog didn’t seem to notice her as it dug into the ground. “I must find some food!” She shouted out loud panicking now. The Red dog sniffed at the dog, it scented strongly of sand, making her sneeze more. Two packs in need, which one will succeed, One falling into ash to be found in the past. The red dog shook her head trying to make the words disappear but instead more came. Dessert these packs live which dog will give? The flame shall be their one to care. Sky shall follow Frozen to be full of sorrow. Lizard shall come, the packs becoming numb. Soon all shall lie in the hands of four before the start of a war.
Chapter 1 Flame woke up yawning, she looked at Sky who was sleeping soundly next to her, and it had been over 3 moons since they had fought off Lakepack and defeated the mountain lion. She sat her head on him and thought for a moment. She heard the sound of the pack waking up. She nudged Sky who growled once before waking up. Flame rolled her eyes “let’s go hunting Sky!” She said getting up shaking her pelt. Sky yawned and moaned closing his eyes again. Flame growled and tackled him “COME ON ITS WARM TIME!” She said pinning him now. Sky just lay still snoring lightly. Flame growled lowly and dragged him out of the den. Sky whimpered like a puppy. “Mommy is that what mates are like? If so I don’t know how you put up with Daddy” Said a puppy staring at them. Flame looked up to see Crystal’s pup, Kiki, She nodded to the pup then was knocked away from Sky by a blur of Brown. “GAH” Flame screamed as she fell down on Sky. “HELLO, CAN WE TRAIN?!” Fawn shouted her eyes sparkling. Flame stared at Sky who was struggling under their weight, Fawn must have been heavier since the last time he picked them both up. Flame stuck her tongue out at him then turned to Fawn “Um we were about to go hunting, I guess you may join...” Flame said not wanting her to join really, she hadn’t had time alone with Sky since K.O and Red became distant from the pack, now instead of walking to K.O the pack came to Flame, she had been to the last three gatherings in their place too. She got up and looked at Sky who was wide awake now getting up. Flame turned to Fawn waiting for an answer. Fawn looked at Flame then spotted Tiger in the corner talking to his mentor Panda. “Um I can join Tiger!” She said her eyes twinkling. “You like him don’t you Fawn!” Flame said teasing her apprentice. “N-NO! Why would I like that um- grr I have nothing tease me all you want!” She called the last five words over her shoulder. Flame rolled her eyes and looked at Sky “We haven’t spent time with each other in a long time” She licked his forehead making him jump up. Flame held back a laugh as she left her tail wagging as Sky followed. She was half way to the exit when a dog got in front of her. “Um Flame we were wondering who was on today’s border patrol” Said the dog staring up at her with wide eyes, it must have been a newly appointed warrior because it wasn’t Flame’s height. “Um I am sorry but I was about to go hunting get someone else to set up the patrol” the dog looked up thinking before speaking “I could will you back soon though?” Flame nodded and the dog ran off. Flame looked at Sky who had caught up and was now next to her. Flame sighed and exited camp, when she got out of camp she dashed off quickly taking in the fresh air. She let the wind blow through her hair as she picked up speed smiling. She saw a hole and jumped over it easily full of energy. She felt as if she could run all the way around the lake. She kept running until she could see the Forestpack border. She paused and looked around waiting for Sky. She spotted him a couple of seconds later. Flame nodded to him and Sky looked at the border “A border patrol will be here soon we said we would go hunting” With that he padded towards the area where deer are common. Flame followed itching to run faster. Sky looked at Flame when he scented deer, waiting for her to give a command. Flame snarled “Can’t you do something on your own?” She snapped at him, his ears went down and Flame sighed “Sorry just For STARPACKS SAKE CANT THE PACK LIVE WITHOUT A LEADER?!” Sky looked at Flame. “You’re kidding right? I mean the packs they’ve always had a leader.” He said looking at her. Flame shook her head “The stress is horrible!” Sky sighed and sniffed around scenting deer. Flame looked at her paws and then she saw something, something she only saw in her dreams. She saw a puppy running at full speed after some creature she hadn’t seen before. A dog yowled out as the sharp end of the creature pierced the puppy’s pad. The puppy fell down, having a spazzim. The mother howled a mixture of sadness with pain. The puppy looked up at its mother, its eyes growing dull. “Mommy, I didn’t catch it!” The puppy wailed, its voice sounding like a girls. The mother looked at her puppy “aren’t you scared? Death is near you.” The mother said sadness showing in her eyes too “No mommy because the Sand chasers will welcome me won’t they?” The puppy looked up pleading her mother to say yes. “Yes the Sand chasers are most likely proud of you, putting your pack in front of yourself, not many dogs do that now” The mother rested her head on her puppies. The puppy smiled and looked at the sky “Mommy I will watch over you, I promise!” Then the puppy closed her eyes, a ghostly figure appeared next to the puppy “Bubba!” The ghostly dog shouted hugging the dog’s feet. Bubba stood still staring at the body “Welcome Sparkflyer” He looked at Sparkflyer, his eyes showing sadness “Why did you chase it?” He asked “Because, Pricklycactus, the pack needed food and I didn’t know it was poisonous!” Pricklycactus sighed and looked at Sparkflyer “Come on time to head to the Sand chasers territory” He muttered. Sparkflyer looked at her mother one more time before turning away, disappearing. Flame snapped back to reality and she spotted Sky cursing under his breath “Why didn’t you help me catch that deer?” Flame shrugged and looked around, she spotted a deer eating something. She bunched her muscles up and jumped into a tree. Sky jumped into another tree and they headed towards the deer following trees. When they were in jumping distance she jumped down landing on the deer, it shook around but then Sky jumped down grabbing its neck. Flame felt it shake a bit before falling down, dead. Flame looked at Sky who was staring at the deer. Flame heard footsteps and she turned around to see a puppy smelling of Forestpack staring up at her with wide wondering eyes. “I found Flame guys!” Shouted the little pup, soon three more puppies entered their eyes wide and wondering like the other puppy. Flame stood still staring at the puppies questioningly. “We heard stories about you from the elders, is it true you became a warrior because of your-” The puppy stopped and its eyes gazed towards Sky. “OH MY LOOK GUYS ITS FLAME’S MATE!!!!” Screamed the puppy jumping on Sky, Flame began to back away slowly. “Is it true your becoming Pack leader?” Flame looked at the pup to scared to answer, afraid it might be true she didn’t want it to be she wasn’t doing a good job as the helper how would she be as leader? The thought made her scared. “Did you fight two mountain lions before you were a warrior? Didn’t you fight kill a mountain lion as a warrior? Didn’t you help Darkpack when they needed more warriors? Didn’t you hate Sky, your mate, when you were younger?” The puppy asked questioning Flame. Flame just sat still staring at the puppy. She heard some rustling in the bush behind the puppy then a silver dog entered her pelt cleaned recently. Then Bark entered his brown pelt had been cleaned recently too. “I told you that if you came you have to stay with us!” Growled the silver dog, her eyes full of anger but then she calmed and licked her puppies. Flame stood still, they were going to enter their territory anyways weren’t they! She stared at Bark who was looking at her already. “Are you leader yet?” he asked his eyes showing he wasn’t lying. “What!” Flame said jumping up. Bark stared at Flame then his mate, trying to decide what to say most likely. Bark shook his pelt and looked at Flame again his eyes burning into hers Flame felt weak for a minute like a puppy becoming an apprentice; she tried to break free of his spell put she was frozen in place, not able to neither move nor speak. “You have been running Cloudpack he’ll have to step up or you will take his place I know it’s hard to face the fact Flame but you must understand he won’t be leader for ever and you’re guaranteed to take his place” Bark said speaking carefully each word Flame hung on to. She took a breath “I know but Red-” She was caught off by Bark “Red is just like your father Flame, we just wanted to make sure everything was running well” Bark said picking up two puppies and leaving through the bushes. His mate followed carrying the other two. Flame looked at Sky, who was silent, frozen to place it seemed. Flame took a breath and picked up the deer leaving quickly. Sky followed his paws thudding against the ground. Flame sat the deer in the pile when she got to camp and looked at Sun who was sitting in the center, she suddenly remembered the elder had declared there to be elder day and today it was. She walked up, puppies already crowding the front. Flame had to shove her way through to meet Sun. “You can sit on Cloud rock” Flame suggested knowing the dogs in the back couldn’t hear. Sun nodded her thanks and Sky helped her onto Cloud rock. The puppies sat up front, Apprentices next, then Scouters, warriors, and last Builders. Flame took a spot near the front but off to the side. Sun was now sitting comfortably on top of Cloud rock. “I wish to tell the past of a dog, one you all know and respect. Now this dog has made sure to change your lives at one point you hated the dog but after the dog saved the pack again you respected it, I am talking about Flame” Flame felt her pelt burn as all the dogs looked at her. She took a breath and waited for the elder to speak again. “Flame started out as an excited trouble maker puppy, like all of you” Sun added staring at the puppies up front. “She got into some trouble but not to major then she became a normal apprentice, until she met Sky who is a pooch but I do not judge him” Sun looked at Sky and nodded to him “That stirred up problems because Lizard used to Like Flame but Flame liked Sky. Anyways they fought a lot then Flame supposedly had dreams of Soul dying” There was a howl in the back, Flame turned to see the soontobemother Lily howling. Flame shivered and looked back up not willing, she soon felt herself hallucinate. A dog sat on a sandy rock “We must form the packs!” It called out desperately. Another dog stood up “Starfighter it’s not worth it I know you lost both your pups but reason, Dessertpack refuses to join us.” The dog stood there meeting Starfighter’s eye, making her step back. “The packs will be torn up if this keeps up” muttered a voice in the back, Flame felt some eyes go to her “What do you think Firerunner?” Flame felt a voice speak for her “I think we should form the packs together” Starfighter nodded her approval. Flame looked around and sniffed the air sneezing once. “Flame you dozed off there, the meeting is over” Sun said staring down at her. Flame nodded and left to her den. She laid down next to Sky who was already settled down. “We need to leave soon” Flame said looking out “What?” He asked staring at her “there are some packs in need of help” she said not meeting his eyes. “We can’t leave and that’s that” Sky said forcing a growl away. Flame looked at him helplessly wanting him to say ok “I am going Sky when I know which way to go” Flame said staring at her paws. “Fine go by yourself Flame go on your silly little hunt for a clan in need” Sky turned away from her at that point and Flame stood up “Good bye Sky” She said tears in her eyes as she left the den crying. She sat down outside and looked around wishing the tears would go away but they didn’t her tears still filled her eyes, Sky was her mate he needed to support her. She swallowed her tears and ran out of camp not looking back.
Chapter 2 Scout stood outside of the nursery yawning loudly, it was sun rise and his mate Lily was sunning herself beside him. He waited for Flame to enter and tell dog’s what to do, he had grown accustom of it. He didn’t see her enter and instead he saw Sky. “Flame is gone her scent trail leads to the river then disappears she most likely swam” Sky reported standing tall not seeming sad his mate might be gone forever. For some reason Scout felt like digging his teeth into Sky’s throat. Sky turned around and left. Scout stretched and Lily looked up at him “I want to go scouting” she complained “I just became a Scouter a couple of moons ago” She yawned and rested her head. “You need to stay here my love soon you may Scout when the pups are old enough to be apprentices about 4 moons” Lily sighed and looked at her paws. Scout’s stomach churned all he wanted was to make Lily happy, he knew how hard it was to move on. ********* Sky stood still taking a breath, not wanting to tell people about the night before, it couldn’t possibly be his fault Flame is missing. He shook his head he was sad his mate was gone he wished he had joined her. He then saw something from the corner in of his eyes. He turned around to see Flame standing still her paws shuffling “Sky I need help and-” She cut herself off screaming loudly “I NEED YOU! PLEASE YOU’RE MY BEST FRIEND!” She fell at his paws. Sky widened his eyes then smiled slightly “Flame do you really think I would leave you? I was just grouchy” he said looking at her as he helped her up. Flame looked at him about to tell him how much of a liar he was but said nothing. “We need Lizard and Frozen” She said staring at him. “WHAT!” Sky said his fur bristling taking warriors away for some Kinda hunt?! Flame stared at him “We need them” She repeated. Sky shook his head “Flame I am sorry but here’s a deal find me some evidence and I will come with the warriors you need” Flame seemed happy about that as she dashed off, Sky rolled his eyes but was happy to see her in her normal mood and to know she was safely secured in Cloudpack territory the last thing they need was a crazy leader. Sky turned away and left to camp his pelt bristling. He stepped in seeing Scout was staring at him he shivered and looked around trying to spot Flame. He saw her nowhere and he sighed he had lost her. He left again and entered tiny pines. The trees were small but where sheltering him from the hot sun. He walked up to the water then gasped when he saw Flame swimming toward him carrying water in a rock curved into a dip. Flame climbed onto shore and sat the water down “Drink” She commanded. He licked at it then fell into a deep sleep. He spotted a dog standing still looking around “Good bye Firerunner!” The dog howled his eyes dark. Sky stood still waiting for the dog to vanish; the dream had to end soon. “Starvation is killing us!” The dog yowled out his eyes becoming dull as he passed out on Firerunner’s body .Sky woke up at night Flame staring expectantly at him. “It’s just a dream, a nightmare” Flame snarled spitting at him “You’ll never believe me!” She cried out. Sky shook his head and left her. Flame looked up “Goodbye Sky I don’t think me and you are meant to be I hope you realize that..You shouldn’t discourage me your own mate!” She stomped off. Sky spat “Good bye Flame I can’t wait till you come crawling back” He howled stomping off. ********* Flame looked around tears in her eyes as she sniffed around. She saw Lizard and Frozen walking in a clearing, her chance. She jumped out and looked at them. “Hey Flame” Lizard said smiling. “Lizard and Frozen” She nodded before quickly speaking “I need your help. This is going to sound crazy but there are some packs, they need us to help them” Lizard looked at Flame it seemed ages before he answered “Flame who are these packs?” He asked carefully choosing his words. “Dessertpack and some other pack” She said “They’re right past our territory that way” She nodded “A long walk but worth it” Lizard’s ears perked up “Sandpack, that’s the other packs name I’ve been having dreams about them so has Frozen but instead she sees two rouges what’s there name? Snipe and Blazer I think” Frozen nodded “They are watching the packs carefully waiting to attack!” She called out getting on her hind paws and falling backwards. Flame wondered why Sky didn’t dream of the packs; maybe Starpack was playing tricks on them. Flame shook her head then spoke again “Are you willing to travel with me?” She asked hopefully. Lizard looked at her “I can’t let a pack die” He smiled. “If I help will I become a warrior?” She asked. “Maybe young Frozen prove to me you are worthy. You must stay strong and act happy” Frozen nodded smiling. Flame looked at Lizard “We need Sky” She said her paws itching to leave “I think I know how to get him” Lizard said running off. Frozen looked at Flame “I like Lizard, do you still love him? If so I can back off…” She said her voice trailing off. “No it’s fine you guys are cute together and I think Lizard loves you” Flame said smiling. “No he doesn’t all he mentions to me is how good of friends you guys are” Flame sighed and looked at the ground “He just is a good friend and he realizes we aren’t meant to be” Frozen shrugged and looked around searching for something. Flame shifted her paws uncomfortably waiting for Lizard to return. Lizard returned a few minutes later with Sky, Sky looked at Flame then narrowed his eyes. “Lizard said we were going to explore the territory more” Flame nodded “yep now come on” Flame began walking towards Tall trees. Sky growled a protest but then shut his mouth and followed. Flame looked around breathing in the fresh air. Flame kept walking then she heard an argument from behind. She turned around to see Sky and Lizard nose to nose snarling. This was going to be a long journey. ****** Scout laid his head on Lily tiredly his eyes closing. Lily looked at him her blue eyes shining in the dim moonlight, it was late at night and they had gone on a walk, they were no resting in a clearing with flowers. Scout wagged his tail and smiled at her. Lily got up and looked at him smiling “Let’s see who would win in a race a soon to be or a Scouter” Scout smiled “Me of course!” He crouched low waiting for her to say go. Lily wagged her tail and howled telling him to go. Scout ran off faster than he ever had but Lily was right on his heels. Scout looked at her then took a sharp turn around a tree Lily followed quickly not slipping instead she passed him! Scout gasped in surprise and rammed into a tree. Lily ran over holding a laugh back as she helped him back up. Scout sneezed blood, great his nose was bleeding! He put his paw up to his nose trying to hide it. Lily put her head to one side, smiling. “Now does little Scout have a booboo?” Scout frowned “Just a nose bleed” He replied “Let me see.” She commanded staring at his face, Scout reluctantly showed her his nose. “Oh well nothing rest want heal” Scout rolled his eyes “Really? I could have sworn I was doomed to death” Lily lightly pushed him down and pinned him, licking his cheek. Scout looked at her “Lily I can’t kick you off of me because you are expecting are puppies if I could I would and I would most certainly act like a puppy by play fighting.” Lily laughed and jumped off. Scout got up and wiped the rest of the blood off his nose. Lily looked around sighing; he knew she was thinking of Soul, her first love. “I’m sorry Lily” He said looking at her. Lily shrugged and walked toward camp. She stopped when she saw Flicker near the entrance his orange pelt blazing like a fire in the moonlight. Lily walked over “Flicker what’s wrong?” She asked. “I need a mentor, the Lakepack Medicine dog died from a stampede of deer” Flicker shivered, Lily sighed. “Coco will be pleased to have help at least” She muttered showing him inside camp. Flicker looked around then ran to Coco’s den. Lily rolled her eyes and waited for Scout. Scout entered camp a few seconds later, looking around before walking to her. Lily and Scout walked to the nursery and slept outside of it.

Flame shivered, it was a warm night but she felt like crying she no longer had Sky’s pelt pressed against hers. She turned over to see him snoring in a tight little ball a couple of tail lengths away. She sighed and looked at her paws, she remembered everything they had gone through, so many fights so many troubles that had bonded them but now he hated her again. She felt as if she would fall to pieces. She sighed a shaky sigh and closed her eyes falling into a dreamless sleep. ******* Flame yawned waking up; Sky tossed a rabbit at her then turned away. She pawed at it then took a bite then more until she was full. She got up and looked around to see Lizard and Frozen waiting to leave. She followed them towards the dessert remembering it was a long way away. She wished she could be a newly appointed warrior that first day, or the day her and Sky fell in love just any day where it was perfect where things where normal. She remembered being a puppy, she wished she could still be one the only worry was if your friend beat you in play fights. She wished but she knew it would never happen. She walked faster breaking into a run not caring if the others where following, she wished she could run so fast that time would run backwards, she could be a puppy again play wrestling with her brother Scout or Lizard or…Soul. She shivered at the name, his memory burned into her mind. She kept walking trying to make it vanish. She looked at Sky seeing he was content in his own thoughts. Sky looked at her then sighed turning his head away, Flame could clearly tell he wasn’t going to apologize. Well two can play at that game she thought to herself swirling her head around then slamming into a tree. She fell down in a heap whimpering. Sky walked over “You ok?” He asked staring at her concern in his eyes. She, still trying to prove she wanted him to apologize first, got up and walked dizzily forward. She saw the trees spin around her making them blurs she saw Lizard press his pelt against her helping her stand on her own four paws. She soon sneezed and she tried her best to focus. She saw a vast land of Sand in front of her. Her eyes widened and she dashed forward diving into the sand sniffing around “WHERE ARE THEY?” She howled her panic raising “its ok Flame we won’t find them right on the spot” Flame turned to see Lizard had spoken. Frozen nodded then they spotted at dog with a band around its shoulders, it looked soft one was on tail then one on each leg. He was standing tall his blackish grey pelt shining in the sunlight. Beside him stood a ginger dog with glimmering Brown eyes she was looking at the black grey dog with love in her eyes. Frozen dived behind Lizard shivering “It’s them” She barked her eyes showing terror. Flame looked towards the dog meeting his eyes his clear blue eyes reminded her of Sky’s making her weak at the legs just like when she looked into Sky’s eyes. She tried to stand tall and strong “We are searching of the packs that live here” She said. The dog snarled “What packs?” ******* Flame stood rigid, the packs they were too late! “Dessertpack and Sandpack” Lizard said staring at the dog with narrowed eyes “You mean the group of skinny dogs starving themselves to death and fighting? Well they’re that way” The grayish black dog nodded towards an empty place. “Names Nike and” He looked at Flame smiling “I could guide you there” “That would be very nice” Flame said calming down. The dog nodded and started walking Flame walked beside him aware of the glares from the female dog. “That’s Snipes my friend” Nike said walking faster. Flame followed him “So Nike how have you been” Flame asked smiling her normal smile. Nike looked at Flame “Well I’ve been doing fine but the packs as you call them are killing themselves basically” Flame nodded. Sky’s pelt was bristling as he walked up to Flame. Flame wondered what was wrong but shook the thought away. She felt the sand between her paws sighing she imagined being back in the forest, but this image was tainted not a happy image. She spotted Scout snarling at some Lakepack dogs beside him were other Scouters. Fish was standing there her normal Orange pelt was matted and she looked like she was starving. Fish yowled out “Lakepack attack!” then Flame saw what looked like almost all of Lakepack jump out of the lake and walk toward Scout’s patrol now they were surrounded. Scout’s fur was bristling as they moved in closer then Scout disappeared, lost in the attacking Lakepack. She saw Blazer the leader of the Scouters howl before disappearing. She watched in horror as the fight wore on. The Scouters where doomed! Flame snapped back to see Nike slow down and finally come to a stop. Flame sniffed the air and sneezed Sand entering her nose again. She spotted a dog enter its pelt was covered in Sand but she could see a little purple on it. She saw the dog had hair covering its eye most likely to protect it from Sand getting in it eyes. It shook its pelt sending Sand scattering about. Flame crouched low seeing the dog enter a cave, it looked to be made of Sand and rock. Flame got up and without warning dashed toward the cave sending Sand up into air. Nike tackled her and held her down “No Flame you must not enter empty handed. Take your friend Sky to hunt and I will lead Lizard and his companion to the other pack.” With that Nike tossed her gently at Sky then signaled Lizard, Frozen, and Snipe to follow him as he left. Flame shook her pelt and Sky seemed to be trying to move his fur in front of his eye. Flame sighed and moved some of her fur in front of her eye before dashing off. Sky followed and Flame crouched low listening for some kind of animal. She glanced at Sky her fur in her eye making it hard to see him but she spotted him shaking his pelt. Flame spotted a rabbit hopping around. She got so low her belly was on the Sand. She smirked and dashed quickly up to it then biting its neck making deep teeth marks into its skin. It lay dead in her mouth and she sat it down. She turned around to see Sky chasing a skinny mouse. He caught it and walked towards her. He sat it down and Flame sighed. The prey was skinny something that made her worried. She picked up the rabbit and walked toward what she believed was Sandpack. She entered the pack’s little camp and entered the Sand den. When she entered she felt a coolness hit her. She turned to see some dogs sleeping skinny and frail. She walked quicker and stopped in the center of the cave, it was big and roomy. She saw a crack in the wall big enough for a dog to squeeze through. She sat the prey down and paused before howling out. A dog exited the crack and stared at her with suspicious eyes. Then from another crack entered some smaller dogs, most likely apprentices. She saw some bigger dogs enter then last some frail old dogs entered. She spotted a couple of queens and puppies a little fatter than the other dogs but not by much. The dog with a sand colored pelt that had exited the first crack looked at her “What are you doing here!” it growled “Your part of Dessertpack aren’t you stealing from us you thieves!” Flame felt something sniff her and she turned to see a skinny black and white dog. It looked at her then at the Sand colored dog “She doesn’t scent of Sand she scents of water and trees” Flame looked at the Sand colored dog who’s mouth was making an o shape. “Y-You aren’t p-part o-of t-t-th-the p-p-packs are you?” He asked. Flame shook her head and decide to speak “I come from a far away pack called Cloudpack. We have traveled far to help you we hold here an offering to stay for a bit. We were sent by Starpack to help you” The Sand colored dog looked confused “What is Starpack and My name is Firechaser” Flame nodded “Starpack is our deceased ancestors they live in the stars my name Flame and this is Sky” She nodded to her companion. Firechaser looked at them confused “Just Flame? I would of named you Flamerunner and you Sky would be Skystopper” Flame nodded “Just Flame anyways don’t you have ancestors?” Firechaser nodded “The Sand chasers I got the name Firechaser because I am leader and only the leader can have then name somethingchaser” Flame nodded again and looked around “You need help don’t you?” Firechaser sighed reluctant to say yes. “I guess you may stay for as long as you want” Flame smiled “We’ll stay till you dogs are formed into a strong pack” Firechaser’s eyes lit up immediately happiness showing in them. He nodded and padded to his den “Make yourselves at home your going on a patrol at Dawn” With that he disappeared in the crack in the wall. Flame sighed relieved and sat the prey down. She walked over to an empty spot and laid down. Sky laid down next to her their pelts touching. Flame looked at him “I don’t feel comfortable near the others” He said making a quick excuse. Flame rolled her eyes and closed her eyes yawning. ********** Scout watched Flicker train. He sighed and left camp wondering where the 4 missing dogs are. The pack was falling apart! Flame their back up leader is gone and K.O the real leader refuses to talk to pack! He looked around spotting dogs in groups. Lily was cleaning Kiki, Crystal’s pup. Scout knew something was wrong, Lakepack was quiet something that wasn’t normal. He looked at some Scouters. He saw Blazer pacing around. Scout then heard a dog run into camp panting. “Flame and the others were headed out of the territory!” Scout froze staring at the dog it was Shaken. Shaken fell down panting. Scout walked up to Shaken and got him to his feet. “Which way?” He asked curiously. “Up towards Tall trees. I stopped following it after that” He said “Get Shaken some water and food” Scout said looking at the nearest dog. It nodded and dashed off. Scout was shaken, Cloudpack was doomed to fall to pieces! ********** Flame looked around yawning for a minute she thought she was in Cloudpack then she remembered where she was and her stomach churned she was home sick. She wanted to go home she wanted to see the familiar faces of the dogs she came to know. She wanted to hunt in the territory she was raised in. But she knew this pack needed her more. She got up and knocked Sky over making him wake up. Flame shook her pelt and saw two thin dogs walk up to her. She recognized the purple one. “I am Dessertrunner this is my friend Rabbitcatcher.” Flame nodded “We’re the patrol you’re going to be on we are going to go the border with Dessertpack let’s hurry” Dessertrunner said walking out of the cave. Flame followed Sky right behind her Dessertrunner was running quickly now Flame dashed after her then abruptly stopped, Dessertrunner was staring at some dogs. Flame’s heart lurched when she saw Lizard and Frozen with them. She didn’t care what the other pack did she ran over to them and wagged her tail touching noses with both of them. She saw the dogs with them looking at her curiously. Flame looked at Sky who was next to her. Flame smiled slightly and bowed her head. Dessertrunner and Rabbitcatcher ran to them but stopped quickly before running over the border. “You can’t just run over the border!” Dessertrunner said her voice rising “Didn’t your pack teach you that?!” She asked snarling a bit now “They did but we are from the same pack Lizard and Frozen are my packmates” Dessertrunner looked as if she understood but her question made Flame jump a bit “Why didn’t they join you coming to our pack? Why would they want to help a pack full of Thieving-“ Rabbitcatcher shoved his tail in Dessertrunner’s mouth. “They went over to help Dessertrunner” Flame said her tail no longer wagging instead it was drooping and Flame was snarling a bit. Dessertrunner nodded then looked at the two Dessertpack dogs “Make sure not to cross the border” She spat and turned around stalking off. Rabbitcatcher rolled his eyes and followed her. Flame looked at Lizard then whispered in his ear “Meet me and Sky where we met Nike tonight. Bring Frozen” Lizard nodded and walked away with his patrol. Flame dashed off after Dessertrunner and Rabbitcatcher. Sky followed her Flame felt weird the sun was directly on her back she was used to the trees blocking the sunlight and a little sunlight would seep through the branches. She saw Dessertrunner digging in the ground. “No sign of food yet” Dessertrunner said digging deeper. Flame looked at Sky “Why not hunt like this?” Flame asked stretching her legs first. She crouched low and stalked up to a large bird. She jumped at it and dug her teeth into it. The bird tried to fly its wings fluttering battering at her. She continued to dig at it shaking the bird. The bird laid limp in her teeth. She tossed it at Dessertrunner who caught it and looked at her. Dessertrunner sighed and sat it down muttering. “Next she’ll show us how to fly” Flame smiled “yep I will get your wings ready” Dessertrunner looked at Flame with wide eyes. “Just kidding now come on let’s return to camp” The group nodded and headed back. Flame watched Dessertrunner sit down the bird. She saw Firechaser enter his black paws thudding against the ground he stared at Flame. “They came close to the border Nike doesn’t know when to back down.” Flame froze “Nike? He lead us to you guys” Firechaser paced around now “He’s evil he took Stormfighter” he looked up sadness glittering in his eyes “I miss Stormfighter deeply!” He cried out falling down. Flame stared at Dessertrunner for help “Stormfighter, he loved her with all his heart she is now known as Snipe now.” Flame nodded and watched Firechaser bring himself off the ground. He stared at Flame “Nike must be killed and Stormfighter must return!” he growled. Flame slowly backed away Firechaser stopped and turned leaving into his den. Flame sighed and glanced at Sky. Sky went to the entrance of the cave and left. Flame looked at the others and followed Sky. She felt her paws burning on the sand, it was scorching hot! She looked up to see to figures in the distant, the sun was setting and the dogs looked like shadows. She ran faster and faster until she reached them, it wasn’t Lizard and Frozen it was Coal, Soot, and a strange dog she has never seen before he had a big pelt that was white and its eyes glowed blue. “My pack is falling apart” He said sighing. Flame’s heart raced, had she been stupid? This was Cloud the first leader of Cloudpack and her pack was dying! ************* Scout stared at the Cloudpack leader, he was exiting his den tears glittering his eyes, he had just heard the news about Flame. It was weird for Scout to see his father cry oh he felt so sad for K.O he must be heartbroken like Scout. Scout looked around to see Coco training Flicker some more, he seemed to be learning a lot which made Coco smile. He sat down watching Lily closely the puppies where due any day now it seemed Scout had refused to let her go out which made her mad. Scout stared at his father again a pain going through his heart, his dad seemed to look as if he was being forced to kill his pack! He was crying now looking at the ground Red and him now murmured back and forth, then returned to their den. Some kind of secret was shared by the leader and deputy making the pack more tense. Then Scout heard a snarl he turned to see a senior warrior and apprentice nose to nose. It was Fawn and Emp fighting! Emp jumped at Fawn the young apprentice was no match for her! All the dogs in the pack stood rigid not doing a thing but watch. Scout’s mind screamed to run forward but his feet seemed to be planted to the ground, panic was whelming inside of him and something else, was it fear? He couldn’t tell he watched like all the other dogs. Fawn was struggling her brown tail slapped the ground as she tried to heave the warrior off herself. Emp pushed with all her might crushing Fawn! Fawn gasped for air barely getting some then her air way was cut off by a pair of teeth. Emp snarled as Fawn struggled but it was useless as Scout had thought earlier Fawn was no match for Emp. Emp lifted Fawn up and tossed her into a bush snarling the words “Don’t come near my kill again” Emp then picked up her piece of prey and left. Glitter ran over sniffing Fawn over “SOMEONE GET HER MOTHER!” She called, Scout watched dogs run quickly towards the warriors den. Coco walked up with Flicker following. Scout shook his head and left quickly thoughts bubbling in his mind, first was how could Cloudpack survive? (far as I have gotten on this book...)

(ok other books still working on) K.O's destiny K.O ran to the hole. He looked below to see some dogs fighting a family of mountain lions. He saw Red laying still. Tears filled his eyes. He growled and jumped into the hole, something that would have caused immediate death. He landed on a mountain lion. He snarled and growled ¡§For you Coal, my loving sister, and for you Red, my mate love of my life¡¨ He soon bit the mountain lion, digging his teeth deep into its neck. Tear filled his eyes he heard a scream. ¡§K.O! YOU HAVE ONE LIFE LEFT DON¡¦T DO IT!¡¨ Flame had spoken she was charging at another mountain that was coming toward him. She jumped off and landed on its back, she got it away from him. K.O felt the mountain lion fall limp underneath him. He saw another one come at him, it slashed his neck and he fell down. It all went black. When he woke up he saw dead dogs and mountain lions around him. He saw Flame press her nose to him. ¡§You¡¦re alive!¡¨ She said happily. But her happiness evaporated as he spoke to a starry dog. ¡§Coal! Red!¡¨ He spoke happily. Flame shook her head tears filling her eyes. Flame pressed her nose into his pelt again ¡§No please Starpack don¡¦t take such a great warrior, Father, Mate, and leader¡¨ She muttered. ¡§He would be one of the greatest losses today¡¨. K.O shook his head and looked at his daughter. ¡§You¡¦ll be a fine leader now I know what it means¡K¡¨He mutters. ¡§What means?¡¨ Flame asked. ¡§The prophecy¡K the flames path will intertwine with the sky¡¦s. Cloudpack will blaze like a fire. It means you Sky, your destiny is with Flame, and you were a match made in Starpack. Also you guys will make Cloudpack stronger than ever¡K¡¨ Flame looked at Sky then at K.O tears in their eyes. K.O closed his eyes, never to open them again till he joined Starpack. His whole life flashed before his eyes.
K.O¡¦s destiny By Elizabeth Ingram Love all my fans!!! ƒº
K.O looked at his mother then spotted Coal playing outside. He snorted loudly. Coal was a popular pup. She had a black pelt and she had the prettiest blue eyes in the pack. K.O was just a regular pup. He had a grey and white pelt. His eyes were Blue but neither pretty nor handsome they were regular sky blue eyes. Coal was playing with Red. Red was red dog with mossy green eyes. Her paws where white so was her stomach. K.O knew soon they would be going to their ceremony. Today they would leave the nursery and become warriors or Scouters or Builders apprentices. K.O wanted to be a Warrior he didn¡¦t know about the other pups. K.O saw Coal tackle Red. Red wiggled free and knocked Coal away. K.O¡¦s mom, flower, approached them. ¡§I can¡¦t wait to get some sleep¡¨ She said her tail wagging. K.O rolled his eyes and looked at his mom. His mother¡¦s eyes widened at the sight of the pups. ¡§You have dust all over you!¡¨ She said licking K.O frantically almost panicking. K.O sighed and looked at his mom. She had finished his pelt and was licking at Coal¡¦s. Red¡¦s mom was washing her too. Then they heard it, the howl of the leader, Xavier. K.O was pushed near the front, his father, Kopa, sat next to his mom. Red sat next to him smiling, her white teeth showing. K.O smiled slightly and looked up. ¡§Today we name three new apprentices they go by the names of Red, K.O and Coal. They all have decided to follow the path of warriors¡¨ He looked at him. Xavier¡¦s eyes were shining and K.O could see a secret lurking in them. Xavier got up and nodded to K.O and the others before continuing. ¡§Red¡¦s mentor is Cinder. K.O¡¦s is Scar. Last Coal¡¦s will be Half.¡¨ K.O could notice Coal¡¦s disappointment about getting the half blind warrior. She was blind because her eyes were different colors, one green the other blue. The blue one was the one she couldn¡¦t see out of. K.O looked at Scar. The warrior had a dark scar on him. K.O shifted his paws uncomfortably. The warrior had millions of stories to tell, more like a story telling elder than a strong warrior. Cinder was a reasonable warrior he had blue eyes and a cinder colored pelt. K.O wanted to have Kopa or Flower or some other warrior as a mentor not Scar. At least he didn¡¦t have Half. He watched Coal walk over to Half. Scar walked to K.O and licked his head. ¡§Let¡¦s go exploring young one¡¨ Scar walked towards the entrance not. K.O followed but they were stopped by Half, Coal, Red, and Cinder. They asked if they could join. Scar just nodded and they headed out. K.O felt his paws slide easily into the old paw prints. He knew how they formed, from dogs rushing into battle during storms when the packs where just beginning. K.O loved the feeling of the paw prints. He got distracted and fell down a hill. Scar looked up suddenly watching K.O tumble down the hill. K.O landed on his back, Red and Coal ran down the hill watching their step though. Red nosed him to his feet while Coal looked around.

Inspiration! I am gonna say my inspiration is from Erin hunters series, warriors. Now I keep writing because I like to think someone will fall in love with my stories! I want to say THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS ENCOURAGED ME YOU ARE LOVED ļ
Falling in love again Told by Lizard I loved Flame but gave up when she fell in love with Sky I even protected her. Then I started to believe love was only meant for other dogs. One day Frozen and I ended up talking a lot I can remember it like I remember camp. ¡§So what¡¦s going on Lizard?¡¨ Frozen asked. I replied acting normal ¡§Not much I¡¦ve been better though¡¨ I had muttered sniffing for some Deer. Frozen was annoying to me just a sheep inside a dog¡¦s body, what I mean by that is she acts un dog like. Well Frozen was talking about deer now, and then she heard a noise a loud one too. She warned me that it was deer and I ran away turns out that pup told me the right thing she had saved my life. Well afterward I hung around her a lot not by force but not quite happily. (As far on that one there is another but it is off by some things...)

(This is part of the Lost pack book about 2 post ahead of this one!) ******* Flame snored lightly in her den, tired had swept over her. She was standing in Cloudpack camp staring at her was a dog, it ran in and Flame heard a cry from the nursery. She spotted Scout running towards it limping horribly the dog raced quicker then it hit Flame the dog was Soul! Soul stopped outside and yelled at Scout who seemed to not hear “Scout it’s Lakepack! They’re attacking go run!” Scout just sat down licking Lily as she gave birth to their puppies. Flame then spotted another pair of eyes, amber ones then she heard a yowl, Fish ran out of her hiding place and made a dash for the nursery “Your time is now Scout!” She called jumping on Flame’s brother. Flame watched a bunch of dogs enter the camp all reeking of water and fish. She saw Fawn being ganged up by two warriors, Fawn looked more like a new born puppy than an apprentice. Flame turned to see Fish leaping at Lily, this was enough she thought. She ran towards Fish and jumped at her knocking her away. “You’re back, just in time for you death” Fish said smiling as she got up and snapped her jaws around Flame’s neck. Flame woke up with a start, she was sweating a lot even though it was a cool night. She shook all over and when she looked at Scout she could tell his dream was a nightmare too. Why can’t Lakepack bother Darkpack while I’m gone? Flame thought to herself but she knew Darkpack would be torn to pieces if they had fought. She noticed a pup missing; she got up and stretched her muscles weary from traveling the night before. Flame padded out of the cave and listened, she heard a loud squeal. She dashed off following the sound, and then she saw Nike. He was standing over a small puppy Flame remembered the pup at once its name was Shymoon. Shymoon was the littlest puppy and youngest in Sandpack. Shymoon was looking at Nike holding a little mouse in her jaw, she dropped it at his feet “there you go sir” She said smiling “You can keep it I am gonna hunt more” Nike nodded then looked at the mouse “So where’d you get the mouse?” He seemed curious. “Over there” Shymoon nodded towards the sand behind Nike. “You crossed the border puppy, this is my territory” He said snarling. “No I didn’t this is our territory-” She didn’t finish, Nike jumped at her digging his teeth into her neck. Shymoon spotted Flame “HELP!” She screamed, Flame jumped up and dashed as fast as she could at Nike but it was a fail attempt, Nike had snapped the puppy’s neck by the time she got there. Flame jumped at Nike and knocked him away from Shymoon. Flame ran to the puppy placing her head on her pelt. Shymoon was a beautiful silver puppy her pelt changed colors in the moonlight right now it was purple. Shymoon’s neck was bent at an angle. Flame began to cry. She forgot about her pack all she wanted to do was help Sandpack and Dessertpack. ******** Shymoon’s burial was soon after, Flame had told them they should tear off a tuft of fur for the family, they agreed on it and now Shymoon’s mother had a tuft of her fur. She stood still now she was in the cave watching dogs pace around. “Dessertpack isn’t the problem it’s that Nike and Storm- I mean Snipe” Firechaser said staring at his pack once more. His eyes fell on the same dog for the fifth time Flame. Flame sighed and looked around then padded out of the den taking a deep breath. She wished she could see her other friends who were over the border. She walked toward it then ran faster tossing sand onto her pelt. She paused next to the border and walked down it sighing. She heard a whisper and she turned to see Lizard staring at her his amber eyes glowing. Flame looked around before padding up to him “Yes?” She asked staring at him “How has your pack been? Mine is falling apart more Today two warriors fought over a skinny mouse!” Flame tried to bring up the puppy but she couldn’t she secretly thought it was her fault since she was the last one to see her, Flame knew she could of stopped Nike before he got to close but… She sighed and looked at Lizard “um A pup died by a um Vulture!” Lizard looked dumbstruck but didn’t ask any questions matter of fact he left her standing in the dirt with tears in her eyes, had she now lost Lizard?
Chapter 3 Sky sat up stretching his muscles he shook his dust covered pelt and scratched behind his ear “Urg, dust is sure itchy!” He said to no one, he remembered Flame was mad at him and he knew no dogs in the cave. Sky shivered, he knew he could lose Flame to Lizard or some other dog. Sky sighed and remembered the night after the fight with the mountain lion Kira was staring at him her eyes twinkling “Sky I love you, I need you in my life I know I haven’t known you for long but I know your still the same Sky, you want to return with me and live happily with your owner like good old times right?” Sky shook his head “Flame, she Is my love and I wish us to stay together till the day I die” Was he right? Did he really love Flame? Yes he wanted her back he knew it, his heart yearned for her warmth her scent and her sweet voice. He knew she was out hunting now he wanted to apologize but he couldn’t bring himself to it. He sat down licking his pelt he wished he could hear the soft mummer of clan mates, the sound of the wind brushing the leaves a crisp fresh smell. His stomach clenched, he was homesick. He could almost smell his pack for a moment making him sicker, he whimpered and laid down. His nose soon was filled with a familiar scent, Flame. She smelled of the forest with a slight scent of roses. Sky’s stomach filled with butterfly’s, he tried to remain calm and cool but he couldn’t he jumped up and tackled her smiling. “Sky get off of me” She said kicking Sky onto the ground. Sky sighed “Grr she’s still mad how can I play fight with her?” He smacked his face on the ground and closed his eyes. He was traveling slowly through the forest Flame next to him their pelts touching. Then he saw it, up ahead was a dog lurking toward Cloudpack camp, then a yowl out. Flame was already running quickly. Sky followed his paws burning he entered camp the brambles clawing his side but he ignored it as he turned towards the elder’s den. He raced faster and faster when he reached there he saw Sun, the elder stared at him drowsily. “Can’t I get some sleep?” She said. After a long pause of silent that seemed to drag on forever he heard barking. He stuck his head out to see Lakepack running in. “Can’t they leave us alone?” He muttered running towards the deputy, Beauty. Beauty turned towards him and grabbed Sky by the neck. She then proceeded to toss him into some nearby bushes. Sky landed with a thud but he wouldn’t let that hurt him. He got up and dashed again feeling some pelts brushing him. He looked to his side to see two Starpack warriors next to him! ********* Scout stretched his weary muscles spotting most of the dogs sleeping in groups instead of their dens. Scout knew something was wrong with the pack, they seemed to be splitting up. He walked to his dad’s den, he saw Red first, she was staring at K.O. K.O was looking at his paws “Is Flame dead?” He asked someone Scout couldn’t see. “She’ll be back? But will it be in time to save Cloudpack?” He listened a bit longer before hearing the sound dogs waking up. He turned and walked to his mate. He saw Shiver discussing patrols, that was good. He wondered where was Flame? K.O knew where and he wouldn’t say. ************** Flame paced back in forth in front of the dogs. “Let’s get down to business we need to defeat Nike and Snipes” She stared at them “You might think you could defeat two dogs but they might have back up!” Flame said snarling. “So today I am teaching you the ways of the packs in the forest” Firechaser stared at Flame with narrowed eyes. “I’m scared” Said an apprentice to her mentor. Flame spun around to face the apprentice “Don’t be scared be strong!” She snarled as she began to pace around again. “Say good bye to those who knew me” Said Firechaser to his deputy. Flame smiled “First off Cloudpack’s power” She nodded to Sky who stood up and padded up to her. “Speed is the greatest thing Cloudpack has beside being tree dogs” Flame nodded “ok on the count of three I want you to run to the border and back” Flame said. “what?!” Said a dog with a black and white pelt. “You heard me you must be fast, you wouldn’t survive in Cloudpack it seems” Firechaser stood up “I’m ready to go!” Soon after he said that several dogs stood up saying they were ready. Flame smiled a pure smile. “ok then 1-2-3” She howled and the pack took off. Flame turned and chased after them watching them run and pant. She ended up in the front of the group, she was full of energy and she wasn’t willing to slow down. She smiled when she heard a dog say “I’ll never get to catch my breath!” She nodded as she raced faster. She saw the canopy of trees, where they had came from. She never realized how close home was, she fought herself, trying her best to not run into the trees. She paused and slid on the sand her paw touching the end of Dessertpack territory. She dashed back quickly, racing past the other dogs. She looked behind her to see Firechaser, the leader, chasing after her with a look of pure determination. He was being strong for his pack, just like K.O was. Flame looked ahead and tossed Sand up as she raced faster toward Sky. She kept racing heart beat accelerating. She soon jumped, a mighty jump across the finishing place. She turned to see Firechaser crossing it, he was panting. “Next is another Cloudpack technique, it’s what makes us who we are, high jumpers it helps us into the trees.” A queen Flame believed was named Fastriver spoke up as soon as she heard it “What good would that move do?” A lot of dogs nodded in agreement. “It’d help you jump on your enemy from far away, I know its normally used to jump higher but it can also help you jump further” Firechaser nodded “We’re up to the challenge” Many dogs stood by their leader’s decision other were soon convinced. “Ok now you need to learn to jump like this” Flame crouched low then nodded for Sky to go far away. Flame jumped once and made it half way which was still a long a jump. Then she jumped again landing on Sky “That’s how it works crouch low bunch your muscles together then push off with your feet!” Firechaser stood up and walked to where Flame was standing. He crouched low and his tan sand colored fur fell in his eye. Flame watched Firechaser jump across, his small frame making him go over half the way across. He jumped again this time he rammed into Flame and fell down, Flame was stronger. “ok the rest of you guys can jump at once” The pack nodded and stared ahead. “One-two-three!” Flame howled and then watched all of them jump, landing less than half way. Firechaser sighed and walked forward “Flame we can get back to this let’s continue” Flame nodded. “Next is Lakepack” Flame heard a mummer in the pack “This sounds fun” there was sarcasm in the voice, Flame could tell. She smiled and sat down, “Where’s the water Firechaser?” Firechaser got up and the group followed him. Flame noticed they were heading towards “Nike’s territory” She knew the water didn’t go into the territory though, because she remembered where Shymoon died. Flame looked towards the border between Sandpack and Dessertpack to see a green shape heading to the water but instead it was on the other side of the border. Flame knew it was Sandpack and Lizard. Flame heard Firechaser calm his group. She nodded her thanks not even realizing the dogs had an uproar. She looked at the water and took a deep breath, she knew how to swim she could do this. “Ok like this!” She called out jumping into the water sending up droplets. Flame took another breath and waded deeper.

(I am trying to finish this book so I can put it in the game I am making!) Soon she couldn’t touch the bottom. She swam and swam pushing each paw forward. She looked back at the other dogs as she reached the other side. She nodded to Sky who swam across to her. Flame stared at the dogs then signaled for Firechaser to begin. He bunched his muscles together then jumped into the water. He swam, barely keeping his head above the water, to them. Everyone went and Flame forced a laugh away as a dog screamed out “I WISH I KNEW HOW TO SWIM!” Flame jumped in and dragged the dog to shore. “Ok silent entering and exiting!” Flame said entering the water and silently and swimming across, her paws staying under. She slid out barely making a sound. She turned to see Sky was following. Sky smiled and signaled the other to cross. Lots of splashes sounded out. Flame stopped them “Start over” She called. Half a hour later Flame had them swimming perfectly. She smiled and looked at them “Ok I am gonna re in act a battle scene, the moves will be needed for small spaces Forestpack specializes in this” she said crouching low. She moved quiet tightly around Sky landing a blow on his neck. Sky growled and they had close compact. Firechaser stopped them then told his pack to try. The pack did surprisingly well. The by far best was Firechaser. Flame nodded approvingly and she saw the sun was setting. “What’s left?” Asked a voice in the back of the pack. “We try Darkpack’s technique which is fighting in darkness” Some dogs nodded and Flame smiled. She stood still her eyes adjusting then she tackled Sky. They tussled for a while before Firechaser stopped them again. Firechaser nodded to his pack “You saw them not to work!” He called. Some dogs where already fighting while others were scared. Flame tackled Firechaser snarling then she heard it dog snarling and they tackled her pulling her fur out. She smiled knowing they were prepared for whatever Nike threw at them. Flame yawned her paws tingling soon a fight would happen and the packs would realize they had to work together. Flame left to her den not prepared to think about it. *********** Flame yawned and stared outside. All the dogs where eating peacefully and Firechaser was telling them to hurry up, second day of training was beginning. Flame padded out staring ahead the sun was just rising. She nodded a hello to some warriors heading out to hunt, only the dogs who did excellent on training hunted. Flame looked at Sky was just entering. Sky sat down “ok we need a training course” He looked at Flame. “How about they run to the border, jump across a large hole then swim silently through the water so we won’t hurt them. Then slide silently pass us and they must be close. Then it should be night time by them and they have to play fight basically” Sky nodded and he stretched his weary muscles. Flame sighed and headed out putting everything together. She started digging a hole working her weary muscles a lot. She finally had it settled and perfect. She was covered in dust looking more like a Dessertpack warrior as they call them Runner. She looked over to the den to see Sky talking to another dog. She padded up to them and looked at Sky “I want you to be watching them as they train” Sky rolled his eyes then nodded. Flame looked at the dogs in the cave. She had known them for only a short while yet she had drawn an attachment to them as if they were her second Clan. She took a deep breath wondering how she would settle back home without them haunting her thoughts. She turned to the training course and ran out stopping at the starting point. A few minutes later the pack was gathered around. She nodded her thanks to Firechaser who had rounded up his pack quickly without complaining. Flame howled to get their attention. “Ok you start here then run to the border run back. You will then jump over this hole. You will turn towards the river where I will be standing. I want you to swim silently across then weave yourself away from me. Afterwards it should be dark and we will try night practice got that?"

The dogs nodded and Flame smiled. She nodded and howled. The dogs sent up sand as they ran off. Flame nodded approvingly and turned around closing her eyes letting her ears listen. She saw some images flash through her mind Scout was staring at the rage of battle. He looked desperately around. He then spotted a red pelt dashing in, FLAME! He then realized Cloudpack was no match for the well organized Lakepack. He then watched as Fish jumped at him, he was saved by Flame but she couldn’t escape her struggle growing more feeble. Scout looked out then at Lily his panic growing. He then summoned all his courage and knocked Fish away not caring if she killed him all he cared about was protecting his family. Flame snarled at Fish too her teeth showing. Scout sneezed as a bit of Sand went up his nose. He shook his head and saw Coco running over Flicker trailing behind. Oh no, what would Fish do if she realized her new medicine dog was helping the pack she was fighting?! Flame felt a pelt whisk past her, the dogs where now catching up. She felt another and another not hearing any sounds of dogs leaving the water and rushing around her. Her heart pounded as she saw a new sight. “You have no chance of living Flame, you traitor!” Flame saw Nike jump at her biting into her neck. Flame then felt his head jerk away as he tore skin and fur away. Flame fell down watching Sandpack and Dessertpack fight with all their might. She then saw Snipe sneak up behind Nike. That was the last thing she saw because then the image faded. Flame didn’t realize all the other dogs where waiting on her. When she opened her eyes she saw the shivering shapes of dogs, the night was cold. She nodded wishing she hadn’t made them wait “You did well now I want you to fight each other in the dark” The dogs nodded and paired up soon fighting but not killing or leaving marks. Flame smiled and wagged her tail happily, they were destined to win it seemed. She had spent a short moon with this pack and had already whipped them into shape! She walked back to the cave tiredness creeping up all over her. She told the dogs to head back to the cave. Sky stayed behind then stared at Flame “We might as well check on Lizard, I must say we can’t stay here forever no matter how much we wish” Flame nodded knowing he meant discussing battle plans. Flame didn’t like thinking the dogs she came to know and care for would die. She walked slowly to the border her paws feeling like stones, she just couldn’t escape the thoughts rummaging through her head. She spotted a green shape sniffing around the border a white blob next to it jumping up and down. She picked up speed not slowing down. She soon could make out Frozen and Lizard’s shape. Lizard looked up and nodded to them his tail giving his happiness away, it was wagging. Flame yipped happily as she touched noses with Lizard then touched noses with Frozen. Flame sat down looking at her paws. She remembered seeing the dogs fight with all their strength not giving up, they were willing to believe. Flame wished she shared their wishing but she didn’t she wondered if they would truly live. She shook the thought away and looked at Sky nodding to him to speak. “Well the battle should be soon I know how much we wish we didn’t have to send the packs we grew attached too to their dooms but it’s in the prophecy!” Flame nodded solemnly . “I don’t want to send Soulchaser into war he reminds me of Soul. Soulchaser is the leader of Sandpack if you didn’t know” Flame looked at Sky who was just nodding his head. Flame sighed and decided to speak “I will not send Firechaser” Sky sighed. “We must!” he looked at them his eyes shining in the pale moon light his fur blowing in the wind making him look bigger “Their life is on our shoulder’s don’t you see that?” Flame stared at Lizard her sadness reflected on him. He seemed to be haunted by the image of Sandpack dying just like Flame was haunted by the thought of Dessertpack dying.

Flame stared at Sky again an idea sprouted and she smiled “We can talk to Nike, reason with him!” Sky looked at her as if she went crazy but then bowed his head in acknowledgement. They headed separate ways soon after, Flame was stuck with leading Dessertpack to Nike. ********* Flame yawned and stared outside the cave the scent of Sand filled her nose she no longer sneezed. She closed her eyes before getting up and leaving to Firechaser’s den. Firechaser wasn’t there. Flame squeezed out of the den and looked below to see him staring into the water. She followed the narrow passageway to him staring at the ground the whole way down. She approached him and stood next to him. “So any signs from you ancestor’s?” She asked, he shook his head and splashed the water “I feel abandoned” He muttered. Flame sighed and looked into the water licking some up. He stared at her then watched her faint. She woke up in a clearing in the dessert she looked around spotting a dog staring at her. “Flame, my pack is ready they need to form with Sandpack, they will no longer be two packs. They will be one but the dangers are the same. They must ward off Nike and his pack. You can only get them ready, you will fight once with them but that’s all” The dog vanished and Flame woke up in the cave. Firechaser stared at her his eyes wide. She looked at her paws not meeting the leader’s eyes. She got up and muttered “I am gonna borrow some runners is that ok?” He nodded and she left quickly not bothering to look back at him. When she got up the top she spotted Smallrunner, Dessertrunner, and Rabbitcatcher. She approached them and sat down “I need to borrow you guys come on” They rolled their eyes and got up. Flame padded out and stared at the border focused on that and only that.
Chapter 4 Scout yawned and stared at the entrance of camp. He saw Blazer pacing around then Blazer shot a glance at Scout “Get your butt over here” He snarled. Scout walked over and he stared at Blazer. He noticed all the Scouters where there. “We are going on a patrol” Scout nodded and they headed out. Scout was tired and his muscles where weary. He stared at the border and sniffed. Scout spotted some matted dogs across the border, was it Lakepack? Scout snarled at some Lakepack dogs beside him were other Scouters. Fish was standing there her normal Orange pelt was matted and she looked like she was starving. Fish yowled out “Lakepack attack!” then Scout saw what looked like almost all of Lakepack jump out of the lake and walk toward his patrol now they were surrounded. Scout’s fur was bristling as they moved in closer then Scout disappeared, lost in the attacking Lakepack. He saw Blazer the leader of the Scouters howl before disappearing. He watched in horror as the fight wore on. The Scouters where doomed! He suddenly saw it, a blue pelt disappearing in the crowd. He pushed the dogs aside to spot Oceana fighting the Lakepack dogs, of course this seemed ok to the unseen eye but Oceana was young, too young to be a Scouter apprentice. He felt a jaw snap around his leg, he yowled out in pain falling down, his eyes beginning to close. “NO!” Shouted Blazer jumping over the dogs and jumping over Scout, his former apprentice, feeling the dogs claw and snap at him trying to get to the weak Scouter. Blazer looked to the side to see the deputy of Scouters fall into the water, swept away by the current. Scout was now awake watching in horror as Rose was swept away. He slid away from Blazer and ran/limped up to the warrior who had knocked her in. He grabbed the warrior by his neck and tossed into a tree. The warrior slumped over and then he felt something heavy fall on his back. He fell down collapsing under the weight he saw a flash of Orange then a mix of Brown, red, and yellow knock the dog off. He looked over to see Blazer and Fish tussling not willing to let go of the other one. He fell down once again he was no match for the great battle, where was Flame? Was all he managed to think about he knew his pack wouldn’t be separated if Flame was here. If K.O was here the pack would of fought with all their might but he wasn’t instead he was insane resting in his den. He then heard it, howls from dogs far off. He saw several Cloudpack warriors enter knocking Lakepack back. He closed his eyes, when he reopened them the scene had changed he was now in the healing den where sick and hurt dogs stayed. He looked around to spot more than half of Cloudpack in there. He looked over to spot Blazer staring at a wall deep in thought. He then stood, walked to the big rock in the center and climbed up. “Today was a fearful day, we lost our deputy Rose in the current she hasn’t been found sadly. We need to remain strong we must have a new deputy for the Scouters. This dog fought with all the might of Mountainpack, the legendary supposed to exist pack full of pure bred wolves. They are reasonable and must of learned a lot as an apprentice. Anyways Scout, I wish for you to be our deputy do you expect?” All the dogs looked at him and Scout felt his burn. He didn’t know how to be a deputy! He took a breath and looked up meeting Blazer’s eyes, Scout’s full of determination. “I will” Blazer nodded showing his appreciation. Scout looked down wondering if he would make a good deputy. He then remembered how well his sister did when she was temporary, she did excellent and he would too. But one question haunted his mind. Would he vanish like her? ******** Flame looked at her paws, the mission had failed only one last way to get rid of Nike. She looked at Firechaser who was standing next to her “Let’s go talk to Sandpack” He said and she nodded leaving. The sun beat down on her back and she had already grown used to it. She stared up, not a cloud in sight. She continued walking as they approached the border she spotted a black and silver dog standing next to Lizard. Flame sat down at the border and bowed her head to the leader. When she lifted her head she saw Lizard staring at her. She sighed and sat down watching the leader’s talk. “We should form together Firechaser but for how long?” Flame suddenly said “Forever” the dog’s looked at her with wide eyes. She quickly explained what she had heard “Two packs in need, which one will succeed, One falling into ash to be found in the past. Dessert these packs live which dog will give? The flame shall be their one to care. Sky shall follow Frozen to be full of sorrow. Lizard shall come, the packs becoming numb. Soon all shall lie in the hands of four before the start of a war.” She stared at Firechaser who nodded sadness in his eyes. “We are prepared to join together. But there will be two leaders” Soulchaser nodded his head in agreement. Flame smiled and looked at the leader’s. “The battle shall be tonight, I hope you’ve learned how to swim, run, jump, fight in small spaces, and fight in the dark” Soulchaser nodded and he looked at Lizard. “We owe you our life young one If you ever need help we will be there” Lizard smiled and nodded. Firechaser looked at Flame and said something different “Flame my pack was falling apart but then you came along and gave them something worth fighting for, their pack. We are no longer a loose group of dogs living together we are now a pack. If you ever need our help we’ll be there in a heartbeat. We are no longer just loyal to our pack we are also loyal to you. I hope you understand all of all that because I don’t feel up to explaining” Flame smiled and pressed her nose to his “Thank you Firechaser for such kind words” Firechaser smiled a true smile and looked at Soulchaser “Let’s meet here tonight” Soulchaser nodded and left with Lizard. Flame walked back to the cave smiling today they would train one last time before running into battle against Nike and maybe several other dogs. She looked inside the cave to see Sky staring at the wall. Flame sighed and walked over before she could get out what she wanted to say Sky said “Flame I am sorry can you please forgive me I love you with all my heart and if I lose you in this battle without saying this I would die of heartbreak” Flame didn’t say anything just nuzzle him and lick him on the head “Sky I love you too and I forgive you” Sky smiled and they sat there the last few minutes between battle talking about the past. Soon they heard Firechaser howl and he turned to Flame and Sky “Let’s hurry up this battle must happen now” Flame nodded and looked at Sky. Sky walked out with Flame following. They did the same obstacle course as before. Flame sighed and closed her eyes she soon saw the dogs fighting. She flashed them open to see Firechaser giving his pack a pep talk. The battle would be soon.
