Chapter 3 Flame sighed her paws were tired and she couldn’t sleep, the constant muttering of her clan mates almost sending her over the edge. She could hear them mentioning how such an untrained warrior was their deputy, how she would send them into ruins. She looked out to see Lizard and Frozen sitting close to each other muttering softly to each other. When they saw her looking they got up and walked over to her. Lizard glanced at Frozen a bit nervous “Hey Flame” Flame nodded a hello smiling, now everyone was happy at least, Lizard had Frozen, Flame had Sky, Firechaser had Storm right? She sighed and looked at Lizard again “Flame, can you make a place in the nursery..Crystal told us to come to you” Frozen said. Flame looked at the young warrior noticing her rounding belly. Flame nodded and got up ignoring the throbbing pain in her paws. She walked over to the nursery and looked down inside wondering if she would ever enter the nursery, she had too much to do, she thought as she cleared a spot for the new queen. She then proceeded to put feathers, deer skin, and anything else she could put to make the queen comfortable. Frozen watched and when Flame left to pick up roses she was followed by Lizard and Sky. Lizard was walking next to her while Sky kept his distance. Flame entered a moonlit clearing yawning then she noticed movement out of nowhere two dogs jumped out. Lizard jumped in front of Flame but was knocked away by Sky. Flame noticed the orange and tan pelt. Was it him?! She then saw a dog with grey, almost black, fur and purple bands around its neck, paws, and tail. Could it be? She almost fainted, every male dog she ever talked to super friendly and maybe even flirted with was in the same clearing with her! She looked over to see Firechaser holding red roses in his mouth “Sorry Flame these are Storm’s favorite and with her expecting pups it seems like a nice present” Flame almost puked, was it true Firechaser had forgotten about her? At least he was happy right? She looked to Blazer her eyes blazing like a fire “What’s your excuse?” Blazer sighed holding some black flowers “These are Snipe’s favorite and she’s expecting my pups” Firechaser snarled “STORM is expecting my pups not yours” Blazer snickered “Wait till their born Firechaser, then you’ll see their black pelts” Firechaser’s claws dug into the ground. Lizard got up and stared at Flame expecting her to speak. “Well take this fight elsewhere” She said firmly no emotion in her voice. Firechaser sat down a red rose which got tanner near the top, he looked at her “For you Flame I can never repay you” He nodded simply and left. Blazer looked at Flame and tossed a black rose with a purple bow around it “Some humans left it lying around” Flame’s stomach churned as she realized she was blushing and her mate was in the clearing! Sky looked at Flame “Glad their gone, Lizard you should head to your mate” Lizard blinked and nodded dashing off. Sky’s face changed, it turned from normal to furious. “What was that Flame?!” He snarled his teeth showing. “I-I don’t know” She said her eyes wide. She looked at the tan and red flower was it a sign? She then remembered the red and blue roses attached together, that was the sign. She turned back to Sky who was pacing “Flame…do you love him?!” Flame was taken back “W-what?! N-No!” She stuttered feeling her face flush, here she had Sky, the most wonderful mate ever and she was dreaming about another dog! Sky looked her dead in the eyes. “Flame I love you and I will prove I’m better than him” Sky stalked off. Flame stood frozen and then heard a bush rustle. She looked over to see Firechaser climb out of it and put the rose on her then pick up the black rose with a purple bow. He sat it next to the other rose. He sighed and picked up one last flower, a blue one he sat it on her too. “Whichever one falls off last is the one for you” Flame’s eyes widened and the black one already fell. “One down one to go” Firechaser said dashing off. Flame headed back to camp her fur fluffed, then when she arrived the red and tan one fell she could almost hear Firechaser’s voice “Sky was yours all along don’t ditch him for a fantasy” Flame looked back to see if he was there but didn’t see him, she left back to camp her heart thrumming against her chest. Flame gasped, there in the middle of camp was Sky holding a mouthful of red and blue roses. He nodded back to the warriors den, Flame walked over to see red and blue rose petals scattered around, and for once in her life, everything felt perfect. She had Sky no longer imagining about her and Firechaser. She looked back to see Sky sitting the roses down and looking back to the warriors. “Flame, we never became mates again after our fight” He said muttering. “So Flame will you be my mate again?” Flame nodded “Yes” She said licking him. ************* Lily looked at Sky who was laying in his own nest across the den, of course he wouldn’t sleep next to her. She wished he would just forgive her for whatever she did. Lily looked back out then she saw a dog enter, It was Ripple. The female dog looked at Lily before walking past to lay by her brother, Drent. Lily glanced at Sky one last time before leaving to the clearing. The moon was shining on her pelt making it shine as if it were fine silver. She looked around to see her pups jumping up and down, just yesterday they were made apprentices. She looked back at the den to see Scout drag himself out. She noticed Sky’s pelt was neatly groomed, it looked to have been cleaned just minutes ago so that must mean Flame was about. She looked around spotting Noel sitting next to her apprentice then she found the familiar red pelt. She wondered If Flame ever dreamed of Soul, if his spirit ever contacted her. Flame still looked as if she hadn’t slept in days, was the pack that bad? Lily smelled a familiar scent wash over, it was Scout. She looked at him with wide pleading eyes. He seemed to stiffen all his muscles tensing as he looked back at her. “Lily you should sleep, just because the pups were just made apprentices doesn’t mean you should watch them” Lily nodded happy he at last spoke to her. She walked back to the den pausing a minute. “Lily go to sleep now” Lily sighed and entered the den laying down, maybe he still cared. ************** Sky watched Spirit clumsily try to climb a tree, his apprentice still needed a lot of training. Sky nosed his apprentice and helped him to the first branch. Spirit’s eyes narrowed and he jumped to another branch, he slipped, making Sky’s heart stop Was he going to lose his first apprentice? Spirit scrambled to get his back claws into the branch, when they dug in he climbed up sighing as the branch steadied. Sky’s heart thumped with pride happy his apprentice had lived. Sky jumped into a branch behind his apprentice before nudging him to the next branch “Before you can call yourself a Cloudpack warrior you must learn to climb, it’s a line of defense” Spirit nodded smiling. Then it happened, a loud howl. Sky jumped over to Spirit and shoved him into a hole in the tree. “Stay put” Sky jumped down his eyes narrowed as he looked around. The air was knocked out of him as a dog hit him. He looked over his shoulder to see Shadow snarling in his face. The leader still had all of her five lives left! Sky turned his head to see what seemed like all of Darkpack running in. He looked up to the tree where his apprentice was, he hoped his apprentice made a mad dash to camp but nothing his apprentice was still there watching with wide eyes. “RUN! RUN FAST SPIRIT ITS OUR ONLY CHANCE!” Spirit ran out of the hole and one of the Darkpack warriors swerved at him. Sky panicked as Shadow moved toward his throat “TAKE THE TREES! THEY CANT CLIMB AS EASILY SPIRIT RUN TO CAMP GET HELP!” Spirit dashed off, listening to his mentor’s commands. Sky had one quick flashback of his life, most of the scenes involved one young red dog. *************** Flame looked up the sun was rising as Spirit dashed into camp, the camp was just beginning to stir. Spirit ran straight into Flame “FLAME SKY’S IN TROUBLE SOME DOGS WITH DARK PELTS ARE SURROUNDING HIM!” Flame’s eyes widened, after all she did for Darkpack they still attacked! Flame looked at Spirit “Ok Gather the mothers, elders, pups, and builders. Make sure their somewhere safe” Spirit didn’t hide his look of unhappiness at the chore he had to do. “Come on if you don’t move them the pack could suffer greatly” It was easy to see Spirit brightened up at what Flame said, now it was no longer a chore but a task. “Ok I’ll do my best!” He said dashing off. Flame ran to the warriors den “All of you up NOW! We have dogs attacking Sky who is most likely at the training area!” Lizard nodded and began to wake the dogs who weren’t already up. Flame dashed out and ran to the Scouters den “I need all of you to stick behind the warriors, we have intruders and we might need backup” Scout nodded quickly waking the others. When Flame left she saw Lizard “YOUR IN CHARGE! WAKE UP THE SCOUTER AND WARRIOR APPRENTICES!” She called across the clearing, he nodded and Flame dashed out quickly. She skidded down the hill leading to the climb training place. She entered her claws coming out as she knocked the black dog away from Sky. She looked at Sky and quickly helped him up. Shadow didn’t smile she got up snarling “Flame!” Flame’s eyes narrowed “Why are you attacking us?!” Shadow looked up her eyes narrowed, “Please Flame, we need more territory and yours is perfect” Flame’s heart raced, Why oh why?! She soon heard howls and crashing through the trees was most of Cloudpack. Flame was even more surprised to see Forestpack running in, Bark leading them. “Flame we heard the howls, We came as fast as we could” Shadow glanced back and forth then stared at Flame her teeth still bared. “You better prepare…I’ll be back” She dashed off her pack following. Bark looked at Flame “You should really rest” he said simply in a fatherly tone. Flame snorted “I’m fine” She left nodding her head quickly to signal for her pack to follow. Forestpack left silently and Flame sighed when she saw the camp in sight, when she entered she saw the Builders, mothers, and Elders huddled under highrock, Spirit pacing in front of them. Ghost ran up to her brother smiling “Guess what?” He looked at her “What?” Ghost almost shouted “I MET DARKPACK AND FORESTPACK!” Suddenly Spirit’s face changed from pride to anger. “WHAT?!” He turned to Flame and Sky. “I wanted to see them!” He cried out like a puppy. Flame smirked “You can go to the gathering, there you’ll meet Lakepack too” Spirit smiled “I can’t wait till the gathering comes around again!” he shouted running off. Flame looked over to Crystal, the mother was sighing and staring out. Soon the pack dispersed and left to their own dens. Flame rolled her eyes as some of the dogs left made patrols. She walked toward the entrance of camp then stared out, Why oh why did she have to lead this pack alone? **************** Lily looked around spying Scout walking carefully on a trail. He looked back at her sighing before continuing on. Lily looked around carelessly following him. She remembered the chase they had and all the fun then it all changed..She no longer knew Scout. She looked over to see Ghost following her mentor intently. Lily stopped and looked at Scout, would he ever be the same or were they not meant to be? She watched Scout a bit before turning and leaving, this had to end. ********************* Flame yawned stretching her weary legs, she finally fell asleep for a while… Sky let her. She looked out, the camp wasn’t lit in a blaze of fire, it wasn’t filled with stressed dogs. She sighed leaving the den and looking around, she spotted Sky staring at the clouds, Flame’s eyes then laid on the leader’s den, she hadn’t seen K.O in forever, she wanted her daddy back. She walked towards her den sighing then entered it her eyes filled with worry. She saw K.O laying next to Red his eyes on the wall. Flame’s claws slid out and then slid back in, this was her mom and dad! “K.O” She called out, K.O looked up only nodding a tiny bit to her. Flame wanted her father back, he didn’t even treat her like she was his special little puppy. “K.O I was wondering when I should send out the word the pack no longer has a leader” she said lying. K.O looked at her his normal bright shining blue eyes dull. “Well they already know that, what’s the real reason?” Flame sighed “Nothing” She turned to leave “Flame turn around” She turned to him, K.O sighed “There’s a reason I’m so distant..I want to see how well of a deputy you make” Flame’s pelt burned with anger “WHAT?!” She snarled “You put me through all that for some stupid test! You-You!” She couldn’t finish. She looked away and then K.O spoke the words that had he had hidden since she was a pup “The flame’s path will intertwine with the sky’s. Cloudpack will blaze like a fire” Flame looked at her father her eyes wide “W-What?” She said staring at him. “Before you were born that prophecy had come to me in a dream the sky was lighting with flames, I want you to remember that prophecy as you leave Flame” Flame looked away and walked out of his den, was it true? Flame looked up to see Sky talking to his apprentice Spirit. She shook her head to see Lily enter camp her tail drooping. Flame ran over and looked at her “What’s wrong?” She asked then remembered the problem “I’ll talk To Scout” She said glancing at her brother who was on Scouter rock talking to Blazer. Lily bowed her head smiling a bit then licked Flame’s ear “Thanks pal, by the way I’m sorry about making the pack mad at you for that short while” Flame shrugged and looked at Scout again “it’s ok See you in a bit!” She shouted over her shoulder running to Scout. “HEY SCOUT WE NEED TO TALK!” She shouted up to him. Scout looked down then sighed climbing down. “What?” He asked his tone making Flame think he was annoyed. “We’re border patrolling” He nodded and turned to call over some Scouters, Flame shoved her tail in his mouth. “Just me and you” He looked at her confused but he didn’t complain. They soon headed out of camp, when they were far enough away Flame spun in front of him. “What is wrong with you!” She snarled getting nose to nose with him. “What?” He said startled “You ditched your mate for Ripple! Lily is heartbroken” Flame said snarling. “She doesn’t love me she loves Soul still and Ripple! Ha we’re just friends” He snapped back. Flame bit her brothers neck then let go only to let him feel a little pain “She doesn’t love Soul anymore you’re her one and only!” Flame said her teeth showing. “Lies” Scout said stalking off. Flame looked back at camp, Now she could add brother drama to her long list of drama. ********** Sky walked out of his den yawning, he suddenly felt water pour on him “What the..” He looked up to see the grey clouds “Rain” He said simply. He looked over to see Flame, Her normal red pelt slick with rain and mud. Sky looked around to see Lily leave the Scouters den. Sky forced himself not to laugh, Lily had mud all over her face and on her muzzle. When Lily yawned mud slid into her mouth and she spat it out. Sky laughed and turned to walk over to Flame, when he got there he noticed Crystal looking around the nursery. When Sky turned to Flame she was looking at him “One of Crystal’s pups are gone. They’re 5 moons old and their ceremony was going to be today.” Sky knew why the ceremony was held back, the pups almost got themselves killed so the ceremony was held back a moon. “All Four?” Flame nodded “Kiyo, Bear, Death, And Grim” Sky sighed “Who should we send to find them?” Flame looked around the camp “Shaken, Lizard, You, and Me” She said simply before calling the names out. Soon they were all gathered and they headed out. Flame walked upwards to Crashing river. Sky followed and looked to see Crashing river flowing quickly normally a strong warrior would be able to live it, but barely. Now the strong current wouldn’t let the strongest go in and live, then He saw Grim slip into the water “NO!” he howled his eyes wide.
Chapter 4 Flame watched in horror as Grim and Death Slipped in, Kiyo following but luckily bear didn’t. Shaken looked out towards the water, his eyes wide but he looked ready to meet the challenge. Flame nodded encouragingly to him then jumped out not even thinking about what she was doing she jumped into the freezing water, rain still on it. She heard puppies barking ahead and a ringing in her head. When she looked around she spotted Grim, Death, And Kiyo gripping onto the same rock all squealing. Flame swam toward them ignoring the pain on her right side. She didn’t have to swim thought because she was sent crashing onto the rock. Flame noticed it was just Death and Grim on the rock now. She picked them up by their scruffs, it being easier to carry them in the water. She looked for Kiyo not seeing her anywhere, Flame struggled to not be crushed against the rock. She began to climb it she felt the pups weight weigh down on her teeth suddenly sending her crashing into the water and the pups being let go. She tried to swim but was just sent further under and farther away from the puppies, she knew she would soon be sent into the teeth like rocks ahead and probably be killed. She felt something grab her “Flame, I see them” The voice said pulling her out, Flame looked to see the pups going toward the rocks, ignoring all pain she got up and chased the river making it to them. She looked around quickly searching for something nearby, she finds a fallen stick and tosses it in holding on end “GRAB IT!” She screamed, Kiyo slapped her paws on the water missing it and sailing further down the river. Their howls of despair could be heard at Darkpack it seemed! Then she saw it, three Lakepack warriors running toward them. Flame recognized Beauty, Trout, and Wave. The warriors looked in the river “Wave go for one of the twins, Beauty the other, I’ll go after Kiyo” Trout said diving in, Beauty followed swimming toward Grim, Wave followed her normally blue-silver pelt becoming a more silver color in the water. Flame watched the warriors grab the pups and swim to shore making it look like a simple task. Flame walked over and licked the pups “Sorry Beauty it won’t happen again” Beauty just nodded her head and Trout looked at Flame “She isn’t leading the patrol” He said simply. “oh sorry who is?” She was confused, normally if a deputy was in a patrol they’d lead. Beauty looked at her paws as Trout spoke “I am” he said simply before leaving, Flame knew better than to go poking her nose in others problems but something was up with Lakepack and it might just change all the packs. She had a feeling about it. ***********

*********** Flame entered camp with the soaked pups, each barking excuses. Flame rolled her eyes; she watched Crystal and Coco run up. Coco licked the puppies faces “Are you ok?” She asked glancing at Crystal. Crystal shrugged and sniffed Kiyo “She seems fine” Coco nodded her head and glanced at Flame “Thanks for saving the puppies Crystal must be proud” Crystal nodded and Flame could feel something wrong Coco, she would have to talk to her too. Flame glanced at Crystal “Clean them, They’re ceremony is today” Crystal nodded and Coco padded to her den. Flame turned to the others “Gather all the dogs please” She said looking at Sky, he nodded and walked away. “You guys can wait or do something I don’t care” Lizard and Shaken nodded leaving too. Flame turned around and headed to the Medicine dog’s den near the entrance of camp. She stopped at the opening of the den “Coco may we speak” She called out “Yes Flame” Coco said not taking her eyes off her herbs. Flame entered the den and paused to see Flicker rushing past “Guess what Coco? I found some wild flowers they help with bad coughs” Coco nodded smiling “Very good Flicker I think it’s time for your apprentice to Medicine dog ceremony soon” Flame backed out, she wasn’t going to talk to Coco with her apprentice there. Flame turned to Cloudrock, she paused a moment before walking up to it and climbing it. She stood on Cloudrock pausing a minute “May all members of Cloudpack join me here beneath Cloudrock” She waited soon several warriors, Scouters, Builders, Queens, and the one elder entered. Flame watched Coco enter the clearing and sit in the center. Flame shook her head, she couldn’t think about that right now. “Today we will name four new apprentices Their paths are unknown to us so we shall ask each for their path, they must know that once this path has started they can’t leave it unless it’s absolutely necessary” The pups nodded. Flame glanced at Crystal then looked back at the pups “Then by the power of Deputy I wish to know your path Bear” Bear stood up and walked forward “being the son of a permanent Queen and Scouter has made the choice obvious I want to be a Scouter” Flame nodded and her eyes scanned over the dogs, Her eyes fell on his father Ice “Bear your choice will involve several dangers such as falling into holes or dying by Mountain lions to you except the path laid out before you?” Bear nodded and puffed his chest out obviously trying not to wag his tail. Flame smiled “Then I will give you Ice as a mentor” Bear sat by his father smiling proudly. Kiyo looked at Flame her eyes showing determination. “I would like to know your path Kiyo, keep in mind this path will have bumps but no path is easy” Kiyo nodded standing up “My path is Warrior” Flame nodded and smiled “Being a warrior will mean risking dying in battle or falling in holes, do you still except the path?” She nodded, Flame looked around “Then I will make you a Warrior apprentice your mentor will be Lizard” Kiyo walked over to Lizard and sat by him. Flame looked at Grim who stood up and glanced at Death “what is your path Grim?” Grim closed him eyes a minute before looking at Flame and speaking with pride in his voice “My path is Builder” Flame was taken back, she remembered how close Grim was to Death the two brothers were almost interpretable, She knew Death wanted to be a warrior. She shook her head a bit “With this path you will risk dying from falling rock and cracked pads..Are you sure about this?” Grim nodded, She could almost hear Death’s cruel words to his brother. “Then I will give you Leon as a mentor” Grim walked over to Leon sitting down. Death stood up “Death, your path?” Death looked around his eyes shining and he seemed to be acting mature for his age “My path is Warrior” Flame nodded “Being a Warrior means you’ll have the risk of Dying by falling or in battle do you except?” Grim nodded “Then I give you Shaken as a mentor” Flame then waited for the apprentice to walk to his mentor. “One last unplanned thing that crossed my mind when I was giving mentors, Shaken your name no longer stands for who you are the name Shaken means You shake with fear in battle. But you no longer do, you stand courageous when faced with a new challenge. The name Shaken will be taken away and will be replaced with the named Panther for a Panther stands strong and brave.” Every dog greeted the newly made apprentices then the renamed dog. Coco stood up just as all the dogs where dispersing “WAIT! I have an announcement” Flame heard dogs whispering and returning, curiosity dragging them toward the center. Coco stood bravely “I want to be a Builder for I have broken the code, I’m in love with Boulder, our pups are Death, Grim, Kiyo, and Bear” Kiyo looked at Crystal who nodded “It is true I took the pups in to help Coco.” Flame could see Sky eyeing Coco with confused eyes. Coco sighed her ears going flat, Flame could see it was hard for her to say that. Flame stood up “Then you shall be a Builder if Boulder allows it” Boulder rolled his eyes “Of course you can be a builder” Coco nodded and looked at her pups who didn’t look back at her. Coco sighed and looked back at Flame “Tonight I’ll take Flicker to the Shiny pool where he will dream with Nightpack” Flame nodded and looked over the pack, the shock of their medicine dog having a mate and pups clearly shown on their faces. Flame could feel her pack collapsing more their trust vanishing. Flame hopped down and walked over to Coco who had her head down “It’s ok my friend I’ll be there for you in this rough time” Coco smiled and licked Flame. “Thanks Flame” she walked over to Boulder and Flicker who sat side by side. Flame walked over to Scout licking his ear “So you’re going to train Spirit right?” he nodded and licked Flame’s ear back whispering “I’ll see you soon” He then walked off to find his apprentice. ********** Sky entered the clearing glancing around, Spirit jumped up and snarled not mean just trying to look scary. Sky crouched down and tackled Spirit careful not to squash him. Spirit spat in Sky’s face blinding him for a minute then slid away jumping on his back. Sky fell on his back but Spirit jumped off before he fell with him. Spirit then pinned his mentor “Ha!” he laughed gloating. Sky knocked him off and pinned him, his face further away so he couldn’t be spat on. Spirit wiggled about trying to break free but he couldn’t. Sky took an idea of what an apprentice his age would do in battle, he carefully lifted him up and tossed him in the air. Spirit thought quickly grabbing a branch and climbing up. He then seemed to vanish in the canopy of branches, Sky shivered a bit the cold wind seeming to slice his pelt. Sky was suddenly knocked over onto his belly “HA!” Shouted Spirit gripping Sky’s neck “Good job now let’s see how you hunt” Spirit nodded running off quickly. Sky followed slowly not wanting to chase any deer away. He felt his paws fall into the old prints, even though it had rained that morning the foot prints remained forever in carved in the dirt below. He saw Spirit running at a whole herd of deer, panic rising he dashed off after him. Spirit bit the tail of a buck “No Spirit!” Sky knocked him away and was kicked to the ground below, the throbbing pain in his side wouldn’t let up but sleep wouldn’t welcome him either. He sighed, making him howl out in pain. He saw Spirit dash off then return minutes later with Flame and Flicker. Flame carefully picked up Sky by the scruff while Flicker picked him up by the tail. They carried him to camp then carefully sat him down a nest. Flicker looked at him “No sign of a wound on the outside but it’s clear you fractured a rib you’re going to have to stay in here for a while.” Sky could see Flame’s worry as clear as day without him Flame had no one to talk to about troubles in the pack. Sky looked at his paws, he could of stayed back but if the buck had kicked Spirit he would of died. Flame turned to leave “Wait Flame” Sky said, maybe he could figure more about the paw prints Sun had told him little. “Yes Sky?” She asked turning to him. “I was wondering about those paw prints, Who made them?” Flame sighed and sat down “See dogs rushing into battle made them” Sky still didn’t get the answer he wanted “their old right?” Flame nodded “They belong to the warriors of beginning Cloudpack.” Sky smiled, he had gotten his answer “Thanks Flame” Flame nodded leaving the den. Sky rested his head his eyes slowly closing. ************ Lily stood up and left the Scouters den. Lily spotted Scout talking to Ripple about patrols, Lily growled under her breath, she was suddenly stopped by Flame. “Lily Scout thinks you still love Soul” Lily’s eyes widened, this was why she got the cold shoulder “But I don’t Flame you know that!” Flame nodded “I told him that and he said it was lies” Lily shook her head, she did miss Scout but this was overwhelming. Lily felt a pelt brush against hers “Hey Lily want to go checking if any mudslides happened?” Lily looked at the dog to see Blazer’s son Milo. Lily nodded and they headed out. Lily spotted some kind of heap of mud “Must be a mudslide” She said walking over her eyes glued on it. Milo turned away “Lily be carefully” he said turning back and walking over. Lily nodded and sniffed at something that looked like a dog. Lily felt herself suddenly knocked over and sent tumbling down the hill. She landed on her back the muddy dog nose to nose with her. She recognized the faint scent quickly “Shadow!” Shadow snarled and knocked Lily away “You shall pay” Lily backed away crouching low. Shadow was smirking as she backed up “Lily!” Milo shouted knocking the dog on top of him away “Beware there’s a hole behind you!” Lily stopped taking a deep breath she heard a pebble fall into the hole and it made a crashing sound on the floor below. Lily stood up “You’re coming with us now” Shadow said picking Lily by the scruff and leaving. The other dog there picked Milo up and they left. Chapter 5 Flame took a breath, there had been no signs of Lily and Shilo for days. She stood up and looked at the moon, tomorrow would be another gathering. She felt the coldness of Death season. She looked out watching for signs of the missing dogs but nothing. She saw a grey figure walk towards camp, her heart skipped a beat at the thought of is being Milo. She calmed down when she realized it was just Scout concern in his eyes. “Have you heard any news about them?” Flame shook her head sighing. Scout sighed too “I wish I told her I did love her before she disappeared” Flame nodded wondering if Lily would want to hear it. “Tomorrow is the gathering so maybe another pack had saw them” Flame shrugged looking at the forest. She glanced at Scout “You won’t miss her when she’s back will you?” Scout shrugged “I do miss her but when she’s around I feel as if I am depriving her from her true love” Flame looked at Scout “You are, You are her true love and you leave her out in the cold as if she is nothing” Scout looked taken back “Soul is her true love” Flame sighed, why was she sucked into mate issues she was a deputy not some mate adviser. She got up and padded off the thought of the family of mountain lions filling her head, then she remembered the mother mountain lion she had killed when she was a new warrior could this be her kits? It must be and if Flame killed them she would get rid of them forever! She smiled forgetting about her falling apart pack. When she finally remembered she became frustrated she needed warriors who were like family not warriors who were strangers. Flame looked around camp to see Fawn and Tiger whispering back and forth when they caught Flame watching they got up and walked off their head close together as they continued talking. Flame looked around again to see Flicker talking to some pups. At least that was normal, Flame got up and walked over “what are you teaching them Flicker?” Flicker yawned, it was about moonhigh and the pups were still pestering him with questions. “I’m teaching them herbs” Flame smiled “Maybe you should also teach them about giant mountain lions” Flame puffed her chest out walking toward them doing her best mountain lion imitation she could do. One of the pups giggled Flame soon realized it was Pool’s pups. Pool was a quiet builder who barely talked the pups father was Bitter who wasn’t Bitter at all despite his name. Flame continued chasing the pups till they tackled her, Flame glanced at Flicker who thanked her with a nod then headed to his den. Flame shook the pups off making sure none where hurt then rolled past one’s jump. Flame laughed remembering how she felt playing with the warriors it was more fun than playing with pups as she recalled. Soon Pool walked over “Sorry Flame I went for a walk with Bitter they didn’t bother you did they?” Flame shook her head “no it was actually really fun playing with them” Pool nodded then gathered her three puppies with a swipe of her paw. They barked in protest complaining and stating “I’m not tired” But Flame could hear them yawn on the way to the nursery. Flame looked towards the medicine dogs den wondering how Sky was. She entered and looked at him, he was lying down his head on his paws but he wasn’t asleep. “Hi Flame” He said his tail wagging a bit, Flame put her foot on it “Relax Sky I don’t want you to be more hurt” Sky sighed “I feel useless I bet you a moon of prey that the pack is talking about me” Flame shrugged “If they are they will shut up once your better” Sky sighed in response. “Anyways most of the pack is talking about the missing Scouters” Sky looked up at her “No scent trace?” Flame shook her head “There was one but it lead to the mudslide then cuts off” Sky looked back at the wall in front of him “So tomorrow’s the gathering whose all going?” Flame thought in her head “Well the warriors going are Lizard, Panther, Trigger, Cricket, Spirit, and Death” Sky nodded “So you better get some sleep” Flame nodded about to leave. “wait Flame” Flame stopped at the entrance “Please do forgive me for this” Sky got up wincing once then walked over licking her ear “Ok I won’t forgive you, when your better you dead” She said in a joking tone then she left. ************ Sky looked out to see the warrior patrols being set up then he saw Flicker walking toward the entrance blocking is view “Hey Flicker can you move” He asked in a nice tone. Flicker shook his head “Come on Sky time to go for a walk” Sky looked at Flicker as if he was crazy “what?” Flicker sighed “If you’re going to get better we need to walk now come on” Sky slowly got up glancing at Flicker who looked at him expectantly. Sky walked out stiffly he didn’t want to reinjure himself. Flicker nodded “ok so it won’t be awkward I asked Flame to walk with you and she said sure” Sky nodded looking around only to spot Flame walking over. “Thanks Flicker I’ll make sure he doesn’t walk far enough to hurt himself” Flicker nodded “If there’s a hole in the ground walk around it” Flame nodded, Sky looked at Flicker then when Flicker left he looked at Flame who was already walking away. Sky walked after her, every step was like a kick to the side…again. ************** Flame padded next to Sky smiling as their pelts brushed. “Hey Flame” Flame looked at Sky “Yea?” She asked, pausing in a meadow. “What do you think of pups” Flame’s cheeks burned, she couldn’t be talking about puppies with her mate! “I love them” She said sitting down and looking at him. Sky sat down next to her, wincing a bit. “Well every dog in the pack seems to be having them” He said awkwardly. “You want pups don’t you?” She asked putting her nose to his ear. He nodded “Yea” Flame laughed lightly and replied “Well when I know it’s the right time to raise puppies then we might have puppies now can we please get off this awkward topic?” She asked almost begging. He nodded “Can we see that mudslide where Lily and Milo vanished?” “Sure but be careful it’s kind of steep” With that they left to see the mudslide. *************** Lily looked out into Darkpack’s camp, she was confided in the leader’s den along with Milo, they were barely fed and when they were it was normally prey the pups caught like Frogs or toads. Lily could occasionally scent Shadow passing by. Lily closed her eyes, she had them closed for only a couple of seconds but when she opened them she saw Shadow standing in the entry way “You two are heading to the medicine’s dog’s den move it” They quickly were moved out and escorted into the medicine dog’s den where they met Shinta. Shinta was the medicine dog she had silver ears and paws then a brown body except for her muzzle which was dotted with silver. Shinta looked at them smiling a tiny bit before going back to organize her herbs. Lily sighed, tonight was the gathering hopefully Cloudpack would save them soon. *************** Flame climbed Cloud rock next to her was Boulder who would announce the Builder’s going then to her other side was Blazer prepared to announce the Scouter’s going. Flame stepped forward and looked out she could see a little group of dogs talking and glaring at her every now and then from the corner of her eye. She sighed speaking as steady as she could “Tonight is the gathering the Warriors and Warrior apprentice’s going are Lizard, Panther, Trigger, Cricket, Spirit, and Death” She watched the warriors nod and leave to the exit of camp. She looked at the others wondering if they would find out where the missing Scouter’s went hopefully they’re safe somewhere out there. She climbed down leaving to the front of the pack. ******************* Flame stood up and walked forward, Darkpack was late. She thought as she stood in front of all the other packs. They were also missing Fish instead Trout stood in her place. Flame steadied her voice “Cloudpack has been doing well we have gained two new warriors and Seven new apprentices. The two new warriors are Tiger and Fawn” She waited for the cheering to die down. “We have two new Scouter apprentices are Ghost and Kiyo. Our two new Builder apprentice’s are Death and Half. Lastly our three new Warrior apprentice’s are Spirit, Grim, And bear” More cheers, Flame then took a deep breath ready to bring the sad news “We are missing two Scouter’s has any pack seen any-” She was cut off as Shadow entered “I love making an entrance” The black wolf said her cold blue eyes burning into Flame’s mossy green eyes. “Also Flame we’ve seen your Scouter’s see” She pointed to a white warrior staring at Flame with her aqua blue eyes. Flame looked to see a grey dog looking around with big brown eyes. Flame’s eyes widened, she recognized the two Scouter’s from countless adventures as Pups, Apprentices, and Full grown dogs. She jumped down ignoring the sting in her paws. “Give them back Shadow” Shadow snickered “No Cloudpack is too full of themselves” Flame turned to Trout this would be something Lakepack would say, sure enough Trout was in front of her smirking. “Give us back our Scouters” She said turning towards them. “Oh come on Flame if you’re so mighty like I’ve heard you can get them yourself it isn’t against the rules” Flame sighed and jumped over Shadow tossing a couple of warriors aside gently careful not to hurt them and stood next to Lily “hey you ok” Lily shook her head, when Flame looked more closely she could see Lily’s ribcage she could also see Milo’s. “Scout take these two to camp” Scout nodded and lead them to the entrance when they got there two full grown warriors stopped then “By the orders of Fish you aren’t going anywhere” the other one nodded “By the orders of Shadow you aren’t getting anywhere” Flame recognized Sucker and Path. “Let us pass” Scout snarled his fur bristling. Flame looked to Bark for help who jumped down. Shadow smiled “Flame I would like to make a deal with you” Flame looked at Shadow “What would that be?” Shadow smiled “You join Darkpack as our new deputy and only work for us then I won’t mess with Cloudpack then we’ll let your dogs free” Flame looked at Trout “You must want some deal since your involved too” Trout shrugged “You’ll be working with our pack too” Flame’s eyes widened “But it says in the Code that there’s been Five packs” Shadow shrugged “Well the code is nothing Flame it just weighs us down” Flame snarled “What the name of this new pack?” Shadow smirked “We’re no longer a pack we’re called Darklake” Flame gasped, why didn’t Nightpack end this nightmare? She looked around no sign of a mysterious dog showing up. She was even more shocked had Nightpack lost power? Shadow looked at Flame “Well?” Flame looked at Scout who shook his head no mouth the words “We can take them” Flame shook her head turning back to Shadow, she couldn’t risk her pack but she didn’t want to fight for Darklake. She took a breath she would go in and bring the pack back. “Fine I’ll join you” Many gasps escaped several dogs most of them from Cloudpack and Forestpack dogs. Flame met Shadow’s eyes her head held high “Good” Shadow smiled and lead her…group out Lakepack well at least what was Lakepack followed her. Flame paused, she was then shoved by a former Lakepack member signaling her to go. Flame walked forward “Psst” Flame looked around the group, then she saw Aqua walking by Oceana and Shamrock. Flame walked over “What?” She asked still walking “Well see almost the whole pack hates Shadow’s idea so we’ve been planning to overthrow her but she has five lives and some of the pack behind her” Flame nodded “And how does this involve me?” Oceana smirked “See we’re going to go “Hunting” with you. Then you’ll take us to the border where we’ll meet Cloudpack, then you’ll take us to Forestpack."(Foxflame wanted me to tell you She plans on finishing this whole book by the end of the year(Making it where she's written 300 pages 3 books in one year) So she wants people to root for her Okz that's all)

(Fox woke me up this early just so she can scream "I HAVE 6 MORE PAGES LEFT I CAN DO IT" After a major headache(Which I still have thanks again fox Fox-Welcome Me-Oh great now I have your curse of typing what other's say irl) she forced me on and told me to please post her story...Which I am going to do
Flame looked at them, she didn’t like the sound of it but she needed to bring the packs back. She nodded “Ok but if we get caught?” Oceana rolled her eyes “It’s simple we hunt” She said rolling her eyes. Flame nodded again. ************ Sky walked stiffly toward the returning dogs he became panicked when he noticed Flame wasn’t with them “Where is she?” He asked Scout, Scout shook his head defeat shown on his face. Sky looked in the group to see Spirit “Spirit over here now” Spirit walked over “What Sky?” He asked his eyes also shown defeat. “What happened?” Sky asked wishing he was there already. “It started out like any other pack gathering but when Flame mentioned the missing Scouter’s Darkpack entered and Shadow told Flame to take the Scouter’s but she would need to fight. So Flame prepared herself but it all turned bad we were trapped in the place with Darkpack and Lakepack prepared to slaughter us. Shadow said she’d call the two packs off and not bother us if Flame joined as their deputy. Flame asked what about Lakepack and Shadow explained how the packs had formed together to form Darklake” Sky gasped but then nodded for Spirit to go on “Well Flame said she would join them so she left with them” Sky couldn’t believe what he was hearing “I have to tell K.O” He said stiffly walking toward the Leader’s den. When he entered K.O was up and standing Red next to him. “What’s wrong Sky?” Red asked worry all over her face. “Flame’s gone she joined Darklake” K.O shook his head muttering “No this wasn’t supposed to happen” Sky looked at K.O confused “what?” K.O didn’t answer “Sky we’ll help get our daughter back” He said simply. Red nodded “I will do anything to get my pup here where she belongs” Sky’s tail wagged, K.O and Red where getting involved in the pack again! Behind him he heard the sound of a dog entering “Scout you’re here good, Sky your temporarily our deputy get all the leader’s and deputy’s of this pack” Sky nodded stiffly walking out. ********** Flame looked at Shadow “I’d like to lead a patrol with Oceana, Aqua, and Shamrock” Shadow nodded “Very well be back soon or I’ll send a patrol after you” Flame nodded and left with the dogs. She walked past Lakepack’s former camp she expected to hear pups barking and apprentice’s laughing but all she heard was deathly silence. Flame sighed and continued walking, she would bring back the packs. She paused at the border in front of her stood a vast river. “I jumped this once I think I can do it again” She looked at Oceana who rolled her eyes, Flame backed up and ran towards it “FLAME!” Flame stopped abruptly falling head over paws in the water. She felt something pull her out then heard a whimper of pain “Sky?” She said looking at the dog in front of her. “Flame are you ok?” Flame nodded “I’m fine” She gets up “Sky you’re wound” Sky shrugged “It is better” Flame shook her head it hadn’t even been a month since his wound “It wasn’t broken Flicker checked it again and it just hit me a little so it bruised the bone” “ok Well we need to talk to K.O and Bark. I’m sending Oceana with you, the battle to help bring back the two packs is in a half moon be prepared Sky” She nuzzled him then heard the sound of dogs entering the woods. “Ok Take Oceana now” Flame said Sky nodded grabbing Oceana and walking away. Flame ran back to the dogs “We found nothing” She looked back at where Sky had vanished, she wished him the best of luck.
Chapter 6 Lily looked around to spot Scout talking to blazer, Boulder, Tiny, K.O, and Sky. Wait K.O?! Lily smiled happily he was back with the pack but she wondered how long it would last. ************* Sky looked at K.O nodding every now and then “So we meet up with Forestpack and the others tomorrow night?” Scout asked looking at K.O, He nodded and Scout glanced at Blazer who just shrugged. Sky felt the pack slowly forming together again that’s what they needed, a fallen pack mate who needed them. Sky looked at Cloud rock “So who’s going to announce it to the clan?” K.O looked at Sky dead in the eye “You my friend” Sky smiled he forever felt like he owed K.O for saving him, letting him join the pack, and just being there for him sometimes. K.O nodded slightly then stood up “We’ll save my pup, your deputy if it kills us right? No pack mate left behind?” Sky stood up nodding “No pack mate left behind!” Scout stood up “No warrior, Scouter, Builder, Apprentice, Queen, Medicine dog, or Elder left behind” Everyone laughed a bit at Scout’s long way of saying no leaving a pack mate behind. Sky looked at Scout both had a close bond with Flame but their bonds couldn’t be more different. Sky looked back in the center sighing. ************** Flame stood up her eyes dull she felt something pulling her to Cloudpack but she couldn’t return. Tonight they would visit them somehow though so she would have to prepare how to mention they need another patrol of Cloudpack warriors for the Mountain lion family. She quickly pushed the thoughts away as Fish approached “I still don’t like the idea of trusting you” Flame shrugged. Fish spat and continued walking. Flame watched her walk away then took a deep breath. She watched the sun set and the dogs settle down for the night, when the sun was gone and the moon was high Flame set off what looked like half of Darklake following her. She decided to take the quickest way which was across Darkpack’s former territory and toward Forestpack’s. Flame felt weird leading former enemies. She finally crossed the scent marker, entering Forestpack’s territory finally. She continued walking till she heard the sound of dogs talking she entered the clearing to notice several dogs sitting down the place looked crowded as it is but Flame still lead the dogs in. K.O was standing on the rock in the front of the clearing, Flame gasped her dad was back! She ran through the crowd forgetting about the dogs she had lead. She jumped on the rock and nuzzled her father. He nuzzled her back and Flame turned to the crowd “Do you want me to speak too?” K.O nodded and Flame sat down on the rock. “We have plans to bring the two packs back to us but it will take the courage of the strongest , the will of the fiercest, the sneakiness of the shadows, the power of the Sky dogs” Bark said naming each packs special strength. Flame nodded then Bark turned to her “Flame we have yet to come up with a plan maybe you would like to throw one out” Flame nodded and stepped forward “Each of us have our own special technique. I want a quarter of Cloudpack on one side the other quarter at the other side while the last quarter is in the center” K.O spoke up “But that leaves another Quarter” Flame looked at K.O “That Quarter will fight the mountain lion family” K.O didn’t question Flame just nodded. “Now I want the Lakepack dogs to be in the water while we force them into the center. I want Darkpack to be hiding in the shadows. Forestpack will be in the bushes then we attack” The dogs nodded and Flame stepped back listening to the dogs as they separated them into groups Flame was put with the Mountain lion patrol along with Sky, Scout, K.O, Red, Spirit, Death, Kiyo and some other dogs Flame couldn’t remember. Flame took a breath and watched the dog disperse. Flame jumped down and ran to Sky nearly knocking him over, Sky flinched feeling some pain. “Sorry” Flame said looking at him “But I need to say what I normally say before battle, I love you and I couldn’t of had a better friend or mate” Sky smiled and replied “I love you too and you’re way better of a friend then I thought at first I’m glad I gave you a chance to be in life” Flame smiled and licked his face once he licked her back then they went their separate ways. As Flame padded back to Darklake she had a feeling in her stomach that there was someone else she should of said she loved. ************ Sky stood up tonight he would head out with Flame’s patrol to finally kill the mountain lions. Sky stopped when he heard a voice. “If she comes back to our pack she’ll be dead meat she shouldn’t of gone running to Darklake and she thinks she’s all that!” said the dog “I know it’s so annoying I wish I could swat her face and make her watch herself die” Sky gasped knowing they were talking about Flame, he barked loudly at the voices and they hushed and let him be. Sky looked at his paws muttering coldly, how dare any dog say that about her all she had done all her intentions where to help Cloudpack! He shook his head and rested it, he need some sleep before preparing for the worse battle yet. ************** Lily looked out her den wondering if she had made the right choice to fight like a warrior. She would be one of the only dogs she knew really well fighting. She the remembered something Let’s take this battle outside shall we?” Asked the Lakepack leader. Flame didn’t answer she just knocked Fish through the bush covering the den then jumping out and landing on her “FISH I AM TIRED OF YOU!” Flame said biting the leader’s neck, Fish kicked out only to fall down on her stomach. Flame had a thing with Fish and she knew who would end it. For some reason the thought comforted her she didn’t know or how it even ended up there. Lily looked around before closing her eyes drifting into sleep. ****************** Flame felt like she had something she needed to do and it knifed in her stomach she had forgotten to say good-bye to someone. She felt as if it would be her last good bye to them but she didn’t know who! Flame felt empty as if the wind could carry her away if a slight breeze came she knew she would feel this way till she said good bye but that wouldn’t happen. She rested her head falling asleep. ********** Sky woke up to silence, he got up and walked out with a little limp. He looked around to see K.O standing near the exit his whole body trembling. Sky walked up to him and stood next to his leader “Where are the others?” Sky asked, K.O glanced at Sky then looked ahead. Red spoke for him “Their out preparing to attack Darklake” Sky noticed K.O mutter something but didn’t catch it. Finally they headed out following the way Flame showed them, when they got there they saw Flame standing there. ********** Flame then realized who she hadn’t said goodbye to, her parents! She ran over and nuzzled both of them licking them “I want to say if you don’t make it I couldn’t have wished for better parents” Red and K.O said at the same time “We couldn’t of wished for a better Daughter” Flame looked below and howled just loud enough for the mountain lions to here, there was around five of them. Flame looked at K.O then followed the path down. ************* Lily looked around her eyes focused on the dogs in the center now several where running towards it “DARKLAKE’S UNDER ATTACK!” Shouted a black dog with purple on its tail tip and paws. Lily noticed Shadow getting up and looking around Lily crouched lowly waiting for the signal barely controlling herself to not run at them. Finally she heard it “PACKS ATTACK!” Lily dashed out heading towards a familiar dog. **************** Flame gasped as a mountain lion cornered her “K.O!” She shouted the dog glanced at her “What?” He asked jumping out of the way “Go get help now” K.O nodded running off. Flame looked at the mother of the mountain lions jumping at her. She bit the mother’s neck digging her teeth deep down into its skin. ****************** Sky looked at the wall not far from him smirking he dashed off quickly then jumped at it pushing off with his paws, he spun a tiny bit landing on the fully grown mountain lions back. He dug his claws into it then bit it repeatedly. ******************* Lily dodged Shadow’s attack barely though she bit Shadow’s back tossing her away quickly “That’s for locking me up!” Lily snarled stepping forward. A flash of Orange knocked Lily away from Shadow “Sweet dreams Scouter!” ***************** Flame felt herself fly off the mountain lion and land on a ledge her whole body stinging. Flame fell down not giving into the darkness but was thinking I can’t do this anymore I love you Sky, I love you Scout, I love you Mama and papa ****************** Sky watched the mountain toss Flame like a piece of prey. Flame was now laying on the ledge of the Hole. Sky snarled and jumped from his mountain lion to the other one but he was in mid air when a loud Scream was heard. ******************** Lily looked up at the Orange dog recognizing the dark green eyes of Fish. “GET OFF OF ME!” Lily shouted squirming “Not until you tell me where Flame is!” Fish snarled right in Lily’s face Lily coughed her breath smelled like fish yuck! Lily forced her puke down “Flame’s fighting a mountain lion in Cloudpack territory” A loud scream was heard from there, Fish turned her head towards it distracted for a second before dashing off into the crowd. Lily looked around for Shadow but caught no sight of the leader. ********************** Flame got up to see who had screamed a terrible throbbing all over her though. She suddenly noticed Red laying still blood pouring out she looked as if she missed fur on her whole right side! ******************** Sky turned to Red running over, dodging the fighting warriors and mountain lions. He sat down next to her putting his nose in the blood tears swelled in his eyes, he didn’t know Red well but she was technically related to him since he was mates with Flame. As if the thought had summoned her Flame limped over. Flame put her nose to her mother “I’m glad I said goodbye I love you mom and I hope your life in Nightpack is full of joy” She said tears still in her eyes. Sky nuzzled Flame blood still on his nose. ******************** Lily dashed around jumping over dogs she finally found Shadow walking up behind Ghost “Stay, away from my puppy you waste eater!” Lily shouted launching herself at Shadow. Lily missed barely because Shadow moved but didn’t give up there Lily tackled Shadow. “You should know messing with a mother’s pups cause dire consequences!” Lily dugs her claws into Shadow and bit her in several places on the neck. Lily felt the leader go limp, She knew Shadow had still had her full lives so she would have 4 left. ******************* Flame licked her mother’s wound ignoring the foul tasting blood finally all the blood was either on the ground or had been licked off. Flame saw tufts of red fur here and there then she noticed the long cut down Red’s stomach Flame almost gagged she was sure if she looked in it would show organs. Flame turned away “I’ll be back” Flame dashed off into the battle. ******************* Sky watched Flame run off then gulped. Sky then noticed it was four mountain lions instead of five. He looked for the other but caught no signs, his heart thudded in his chest fear all over him. He quickly jumped at a mountain lion using it as leverage as he jumped out of the hole and raced off. He made it to camp when he heard Squeals Sky entered the camp to see Frozen crouched over some pups then Sun snarling at a mountain lion. ********************* Lily waited for Shadow to come back when she did Shadow snarled “YOU WASTE EATING POOCH!” she said knocking Lily off and pinning her down by her neck. Lily’s head fell back she had never blacked out before but now she did. *********************** Flame dodged the mountain lion that came charging at her, it hit the wall of the cave falling down a bit. Flame jumped on its back tearing skin off of it. ************************* Sky ran towards them “SUN!” He shouted his eyes full of fear, he had grown attached to Sun. The mountain lion tossed Sky away before he had a chance to jump. Sun snarled and jumped at it her teeth digging deep into it, then jumping away tearing skin off, muscle showing. The mountain lion was bleeding terribly but it Jumped at Sun clawing her up. Sky got up and knocked the mountain lion away with a head butt. The mountain lion stumbled onto its side not getting up. Sky turned to Sun nuzzling her and crying what seemed like a river. “Sun please don’t go I love you like a pup does a mother” Sky said weeping like a puppy. He laid down next to her his head on her, tears seeping out of his eyes and onto her pelt. “Sky?” She said turning her head slightly to him. “Sun! You’re gonna be ok I’ll get Flicker he’ll take you to the medicine dogs den and-” Sun shook her head slightly blood still pouring out “Sky I was almost an elder when K.O was made a warrior my time in this world is ending.” “NO! YOU CAN’T LEAVE ME SUN!” he said squealing like a puppy losing its mother. “Sky calm down you’ll be fine” He shook his head “I won’t Sun not without you here you’re like the mother I never had” Sun shook her head this time “Sky you’re like the son I lost to a great battle, leaving you will be hard but remember I won’t be gone forever” He looked at her confused “I’ll see you when your time to join Nightpack comes, also Sky two things” Sky looked at her “I love you like a son and the path of the Flame’s will intertwine with the sky’s Cloudpack will blaze like a fire” Sun then closed her eyes, never to open them again. Sky let out a mournful howl, long enough for an elder. He then turned his head away, his tears finally drying. He got up and headed back to the fight with the other mountain lions. ************************** Lily woke up to see a grey dog next to her “Scout!” She said nuzzling him. Scout smiled “I had a bad feeling in my stomach so I left the battle I was in order to come here but I must return” Lily nodded “Scout I love you” “I love you too Lily” Scout left back to his battle while Lily stood her face red he still loved her! She felt as if she could walk on air but it soon vanished when she saw Shadow attacking Milo. Lily ran up to Shadow “You again!” Shadow snarled swatting at her. Lily barely dodged when she was over Shadow she bit her back and tore her fur out. Blood poured from Shadow’s wound “This time I won’t let you live” Shadow said pouncing at Lily. ************* Flame looked around to see Sky enter again. “Sky you’re here!” Flame walked over and licked him. “Have we killed any?” Sky asked, Flame shook her head no “No they’re stronger than they-” Flame was cut off by a Brown dog plummeting into the hole and landing on a mountain lion. She watched him attack it before screaming “K.O! YOU HAVE ONE LIFE LEFT DON’T DO IT!” Flame then charged at a Mountain jump off and landing on its back. She ended up getting it away from him. Flame watched as the mountain lion fell limp, her heart started to beat normal but then she noticed another coming at him Please Starpack no! She said tears in her eyes as she watched the last of her parents killed by a mountain lion. She went psycho and jumped at the mountain lion slicing at it and biting it repeatedly. It collapsed two left she thought jumping down walking over to K.O putting her nose to him ****************** Sky watched K.O get attacked, he jumped at a mountain lion. He bit at it, Clawed it, Tore fur, kicked at it. Finally it fell dead Sky looked around to see all the mountain lions dead several dogs either wounded or killed. Sky shook his head and walked over to K.O followed by Scout. ************************** Lily kicked at Shadow furiously trying to escape. She then managed to lift her head and bite her chest pulling her down then kicking her onto her back, Her fur in Lily’s mouth. Lily sat on Shadow snarling “You worthless piece of waste” Shadow squirmed “Call of Darklake then go back to being Lakepack and Darkpack” Shadow stared at Lily “Never!” “Fine we can stay like this forever” Shadow looked at Lily with narrowed eyes, snarling. *********************** Flame put her nose to K.O, K.O opened his eyes. Flame’s heart seemed to swell so much that it could burst any minute “You’re alive!” Her heart deflated when K.O said “Coal! Red!” He said a smile on his face, tail wagging. “No please Nightpack 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…”He mutters. “What means?” Flame asked. “The prophecy… 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…” Flame looked at Sky then at K.O tears in all of their eyes. Flame’s heart seemed to shatter and flutter away in the light breeze. She picked K.O’s body up and signaled the others to pick up other bodies then they left. ********************* Lily continued to sit on Shadow. Shadow squirmed more and Lily pushed on the leader’s stomach. “AH!” She screamed she was about ready to give up it seemed. ******************** Flame entered camp, the others were either preparing the burial or fighting against Darklake. Flame saw Fish sitting in the middle of the clearing “A sad day for Cloudpack It won’t even have a leader or deputy” Fish stood up smiling an evil twisted smile “Let’s end this Flame” Flame met Fish’s eyes “Fine with me” Flame tackled Fish knowing she had 2 lives left so she would need to get rid of both. Flame bit a hold of Fish’s neck snarling wildly. Fish kicked at Flame, bad mistake, Flame was kicked away tearing fur and skin with her. Fish knew she wouldn’t live through it but a smile crossed her face “If I die I’ll take you down with me!” Flame jumped at Fish kicking at her repeatedly to get her blood toward the wound. Fish jumped at Flame tearing at her skin. Flame shook her off and bit Fish’s wound digging her teeth down and pulling the soft muscle tissue out. Flame spit it away Fish growled and clawed at Flame weakly but she fell down. Flame looked at Nightpack “Am I forgiven?” She asked weakly. Fish twitched coming back to life once more but dying again. Flame dragged Fish out. ******************** Lily continued to sit on Shadow “Fine ok I give up!” Lily let Shadow up who climbed a rock “DARKLAKE STOP! WE MUST DISPERSE INTO TWO DIFFERENT PACKS AGAIN” Shadow gasped suddenly seeing Fish being dragged in, watching Flame toss her. Flame walked up to Shadow dodging bodies “Shadow we have lost two leader’s today Fish and K.O” Shadow looked at the rest of the dogs and howled. Soon every single dog was howling. Shadow looked at Flame “You’re new leader I see may you’re days be better than this one I am sorry” Flame looked at Shadow “Apology accepted now who’s the new leader of Lakepack?” Trout stood up “I am and I would like to say I will be nicer, Lakepack will be brought back to honor” Flame smiled and bowed her head “Now we must identify our warriors each warrior, Scouter, Builder go back to you pack leader’s stay behind to find your lost pack mates” The leader’s nodded and stayed behind.
Chapter 7 Flame entered camp after the burial service she had talked to the dogs around camp and they all say one dog should be deputy. Flame walked up to Cloudrock thinking about her on her apprentice ceremony a tear slid down her cheek. She walked up it and knew tonight she would see them, because she would leave with her deputy and medicine dog to earn her 5 lives. She stood still her heart racing “Cloudpack join me beneath Cloudrock!” Cloudpack gathered around. “We have lost several dogs but we must remain strong I will head to Night pool tonight with Flicker and the new Deputy. So I must announce the new deputy. I asked around and it’s obvious who the choice is born a pooch hated by several dogs but growing up to be the best dog we’ve seen his name Sky” Several dogs chanted his name Spirit did very loud. Flame smiled but the pain in her heart remained, she walked down and looked back over her shoulder. She ran into the leader’s den throwing herself into the nest weeping, his scent still hung on the feathery thing. ********************** Sky ate the traveling herbs and they set out. Flame and Sky remained close enough that their pelts mixed. Flame seemed to be in a rush, Sky could tell by the way she raced ahead sometimes. Sky took in the sights, it was a peaceful night the day’s events seeming to have never existed. It was still cold but it began to warm up. Finally they reached the tree that lay between them and the large island. Sky walked across after Flame his stomach churning he knew Flame felt the same both wish they never would need to make the journey. When they reached the other side Sky yawned. Flame glanced at him then continued on her way. *********************** Flame stood in front of the pool stars reflecting off the image. Flame licked up some water and felt herself vanish but knew she was just falling asleep. She woke up in a beautiful place full of trees, it was a clearing. She saw no stars in the sky though, which surprised her. Suddenly five dogs appeared in front of Flame. Flame recognized K.O, Red, Cloud, And Soul but she didn’t remember the other one. “who are You?” She asked staring at him “Ah curious are we? I’m Night the leader of Nightpack” Flame gasped, she felt honored to have such a strong dog give her, her one of her lives. K.O stood up staring at Flame “You’re first life represents who you are” Flame knew they would name talents from the dog. K.O touched Flame and Flame felt as if she was soaring for some reason. Next was Red “This life stands for your courage” Flame felt as if she could stand up to any challenge with no fear. Next was Soul “This life stands for your kindness” He touched noses with Flame then whispered “Thank you for helping my Lily move on” Flame nodded to him as he walked back. “This life represents your strength in battle” Cloud touched noses with Flame saying “Thank you for saving my pack” Flame nodded smiling. Last was Night who stood up “This life represents your uniqueness” Night touched Flame’s nose then the dogs disappeared well all except Night. “What?” Flame asked staring into his eyes “The prophecy has had a fix, it will end with six” Flame looked confused but didn’t speak she just nodded. Night smiled and vanished, Flame woke up her eyes a bit wide she looked at Sky who was yawning a bit. Flame got up and left walking off. Flame felt her eyes fall on the water below. She kept walking until she got to camp there is where she collapsed into sleep. ******************************* Lily and Scout were walking together when Flame entered. “Hey Pal what’s wrong?” Flame shook her head “Pups” Lily looked at Scout then back at Flame “W-What?” She asked her eyes a bit wide, it had been half a moon since the battle and Flame had already gone crazy. “I’m expecting pups!” She said howling out, Scout walked over talking to his sister in a hushed whisper Lily strained to hear but caught nothing. She sighed and waited for the talking to stop Scout glanced at Lily “Can you talk to her? I’ve got to go” Lily nodded and Scout left. Lily turned to Flame “It’s not too bad..” Flame shook her head “It is too already dogs don’t approve of me!” She said tears swelling in her eyes. “Sky can take over it’ll be easy don’t worry about what others say Nightpack approved of you that’s all that matters right?” Flame shrugged “I guess but…” Lily looked at Flame “But nothing ok?” Flame nodded slightly “Pups are a beautiful thing and are something you’ll love till the end of time” Flame kept nodding “Now have you to told Sky?” Flame looked at Lily “No I won’t either he’ll be disappointed and leave me” Lily cocked her head to the side “What? Sky’s nicer than that!” She said standing up and putting her head up “Come on Flame listen, Sky loves you and will love the pups!” “What about you and Scout’s relationship it fell apart after the puppies!” “But Look now he’s fine!” Flame looked at Lily’s clear blue eyes she sighed “Ok but these better not ruin my life if they do you’re in the most trouble Lily!” Lily looked at Flame with the you’re kidding me right? Look. “I’m not kidding!” Flame said staring Lily straight in the eyes. “ok then” Lily left Flame soon followed her. ***************** Sky slipped into the water his fur fluffed up, for some reason water calmed him. He closed his eyes and put his head under the water then brought it back out shaking it, he hadn’t had a conversation with Flame since a half and quarter moon ago but when he turned around there was Flame sitting there staring at him. “um” was all he could say shaking his pelt as he exited the water. Flame continued to stare at him “You’ll need to be leader for a while” He looked at her as if she was crazy “What?” Flame looked at him too “You’ll need to be leader while I’m in the nursery” Sky’s tail wagged uncontrollably “Pups!” He said smiling and nuzzling her Flame didn’t meet his eyes. Sky wondered what was wrong “Flame do you not want pups?” Flame didn’t answer just looked away. “You don’t do you? I’m sorry Flame” Flame shook her head and “It’s not your fault..I chose this too” Sky shrugged “Now come on let’s find you some moss bedding.” “Wait can’t I still sleep in the leader’s den? I mean it wouldn’t do harm” Sky looked at her thinking “Sure Flame but if It becomes too much…” “It won’t Sky” *********** Flame was laying in the leader’s den looking at the wall when she heard the voice “the prophecy has had a fix it will end with six” Did they mean puppies? Or was Flame just going crazy? Flame didn’t really care much she continued to think about it when Sky entered with a rabbit “Here Flame I already ate” Flame glanced at Sky then ate pieces of the rabbit. “So how are you doing?” He asked Flame had only told Sky a day ago about the pups but now he was already asking if she was uncomfortable. “I’m fine Sky why?” Sky’s paws shuffled a bit “I just want you and our pups to be comfortable” Flame nodded “I’m fine” Sky paused at the entrance “By the way you have a visitor” His voice sounded cold now “want me to send him on his way or let him in?” Flame looked at Sky “send him in” Sky muttered darkly to the dog outside the entrance. The dog entered the den, Flame remembered him immediately “Firechaser why do you always show up around here?” She asked in a playful tone. “Because I’m always dreaming about something” Flame sat down last time he had talked to her about one of his visions it involved her father being killed “Go ahead and spit it out” Firechaser stood up and walked over “There was a white dog sitting in a cage she had Sky’s eyes” Flame looked at him “Of course this couldn’t be his sister for this dog had the body shape of you” Flame knew it was one of her pups “Then I saw a brown and white dog next to a black and purple dog but then a line cracked between the pair” Flame wondered if this meant one of her pups would be in a forbidden relationship “Next there was a blue dog with one mossy green eye and another sky blue eye. He seemed content as healer but wanted more” Flame knew this was her pups future so she listened intently. “I Saw a black dog next she had fiery red eyes she seemed to be struggling with a dark secret” Flame nodded “Go on” There had to be two more left “Then a bright pink dog with something that looked like a purple vine down her back she was being bargained with then lastly a dark purple dog in a pool of blood” Flame’s eyes widened the last one was the most shocking, a pool of blood! She really hoped he had the wrong dog! She looked at Firechaser “Thank you for the information” He nodded “yes now how have you been?” he asked looking her up and down obviously knowing about the puppies. “Well my dad and mom died making me leader” Firechaser sighed “That’s really sad I’m sorry Flame” Flame shrugged “Then I’m expecting pups” Firechaser nodded “I saw that coming from a mile away” Flame rolled her eyes “So any other reason you were sent here” Firechaser slumped down “Yes can we talk?” Flame nodded smiling “Well this dog I like had another dog’s pups” He said staring into her eyes “I mean Stormfighter” Flame looked at him “Their Nike’s aren’t they?” Firechaser nodded tears coming into his eyes. Flame walked over and licked the tears off her friend “Well talk to her, she might love you but you don’t know, Stormfighter I mean” Firechaser nodded but then shook his head “No she doesn’t I’m a lost cause Flame. Stormfighter thinks I’m uptight.” Flame smiled she had found a way.. ****************** Flame looked at Firechaser trying to explain “No, no I mean be a little more fun like go hunting and turn it into a play fight” Firechaser looked at her “But that will get our pelts full of sand!” Flame hit her head on the cave wall several times “Firechaser listen, you need to be more fun you’re boring the crud out of my and I’m your best friend!” Firechaser sighed and leaned on a wall “I can’t be fun it’s not in my blood” Flame looked at him and then lead him out to Cloudpack territory. She paused in a clearing “Now tell me what do you think this is mostly used for?” Firechaser shrugged “It’s beautiful” Flame nodded “ok listen take her to a place like this in your territory and do what your instincts, not your stuck up self, ok?” Firechaser nodded looking around then wagging his tail a bit smirking. “Oh gosh what now?” Flame said, Firechaser gently, careful not to hurt her pups or her , pinned Flame “Like this?” Flame nodded “And she’ll act like this” She carefully knocked Firechaser off smirking. Firechaser rolled his eyes “Show off” Flame shrugged and pinned Firechaser using her new weight as an advantage “Crud will she be this heavy?” He asked panting, Flame slapped her friend “She won’t but if she is don’t mention it or do a thing k?” He nodded and stared up at her with his wide amber eyes “Can I be let up” He said using his charm. Flame narrowed her eyes “Nope” “W-What? B-But the charm?” Flame laughed “If I had fallen for that charm before I would of left Sky for you” Firechaser smirked “You know you want too” Flame gasped acting “Oh you know everything Firechaser” He winked “You better believe it Flame” Flame rolled her eyes “and I’m a rabbit” Firechaser looked at her now it was his turn to gasp “You are?” Flame looked at him sarcasm in her voice “yes I am I’m a murderous one too since I kill rabbits” Firechaser’s mouth formed a O shape “You’re crazy!” He said. They both ended up laughing at each other’s jokes. Flame looked at her friend he looked at her with his amber eyes still trying to work his charm. Flame got up for a second then plopped back down “Nah I’m too lazy to move you’ll need to carry me to camp” Firechaser’s eyes widened “I’d die by then!” He said looking Flame dead in the eyes. “Well It was nice knowing you pal” Firechaser tried to get up but fell back down panting “baby” Flame said smiling “Me a baby? You’re the baby!” Flame smiled “Yea I am” She began to squeal like a pup crying out “Momma!” Firechaser looked at Flame “Want to wake the whole camp?” Flame nodded smirking. Firechaser shook his head no Flame continued to nod yes. “Grr you’re evil” Flame shrugged “It’s my hobby” Firechaser shook his head.
Chapter 8 Flame yawned waking up, she remembered her and Firechaser had gone on all night fighting it turned out Flame won by just sitting on him. Firechaser was sleeping silently when Flame lifted herself Firechaser shivered all over “It’s cold now!” He said turning over “Wait I can turn over” He opened his eyes to look at Flame. Flame shook her pelt yawning again. Firechaser got up and shook his pelt “I think my paws are broken” Flame looked at him “I could just go back to crushing you…” Firechaser shook his head quickly “No thanks” Flame got up and headed towards the lake “Coming?” Firechaser followed her. The two friends stood side by side. ******************** Firechaser visited Flame once every week to see the pups birth. Flame noticed that each time Sky looked darkly at Firechaser why would he hate him? He’s her friend… he couldn’t possibly still think she liked him? Flame thought as she waited for Firechaser to show up. Flame suddenly felt as if her pups were coming… ****************** Lily looked at Scout mentoring Ghost. Ghost was one of the best tracker’s Lily had seen. Ghost crouched low and tackled Scout “Found you I’m the best ever!” Lily laughed ******************** When Firechaser arrived Flame had already had the six pups, Flame was sleeping from tiredness. Sky just nodded to Firechaser. When Flame woke up he was next to her sniffing at them “They smell weird” “You don’t smell good yourself” Flame said in joking tone. Firechaser smiled rolling his eyes. “So what’s their names?” He asked looking them over “That one is Whisper” She pointed to a white puppy “That one’s Thrush” Points to the Brown one “That one is Shay” Points to th black one “That one is odd” Points to the blue dog. “That one is Flutter” Points to the pink one with a purple vine pattern. “Lastly Flower” Points to the dark purple pup. Firechaser nodded looking them over again “So you do know they look like the ones in my dream” Flame nods “I know I just am so worried each future seems horrible” Firechaser nodded licking them. He heard a growl from behind him “Oh sorry Sky I was just cleaning them” he said not meaning to upset the dog. Sky shrugged narrowed his eyes then left. “What’s got his fur in a knot?” Asked Firechaser, Flame responded with a shrug

She shook her pelt and rested her head everything was a blur. She looked at Firechaser “You’re welcome to sleep here but over there if Sky finds you near me he might lose it” Firechaser nodded yawning and laying down. ****************** Lily had heard the news of Flame’s pup’s so she checked on them to make sure they were all there. When she knew they were she heard Sky snorting “Hi Sky” Lily said “Why does he try to take her from me?” Lily watched him “he isn’t he’s a good friend of Flame’s” Sky shook his head. “I know he wants her but he can’t have her” Sky left. Lily looked after him then looked back at the puppies they were pretty then Lily noticed Firechaser stretched out not to far away from Flame. She rolled her eyes leaving. ************************ Sky looked out onto the lake trying to think of a way to get Flame back. He couldn’t think of any way besides showing her the rose wait…His path was intertwined with Flame’s why was he so jealous? They were a match made in Nightpack but of course he had jealousy it made sense. He sighed his thoughts becoming more jumbled than ever. He stretched out his claws slide out he yawned and laid down closing his eyes. *********************** Flame woke to Firechaser snoring loudly. She walked over and shoved a piece of moss into his mouth then headed back to the pups she licked each her eyes slowly falling. She shook her pelt again then licked the pups again. She rested her head and glanced at Whisper who was cuddled up next to Thrush something about Whisper intrigued Flame… ******************** Lily walked around with Scout and their three pups each bragging about their training. Well at least two were Half was deathly silent as they padded along the trail. Lily wondered what was going through her mind ************************ When Sky entered camp he was ambushed by two apprentices “When can we see the pups?” Asked Death “Yea I want to see them so bad!” Replied Grim. Sky knocked them off “Soon enough when they can walk and run away from you guys you can see them” They smiled and ran off. Sky looked at the leader’s den wondering what was going on, when he entered he saw Firechaser sleeping with moss stuff in his mouth and Flame was sleeping too. Sky’s jealousy faded Flame was just Firechaser’s friend. ************************** Lily broke the silence between her and the one pups “How was your day Half?” Half looked up “I rebuilt the elder’s den but of course no elders” Lily smiled “Cricket will be one soon” Half shrugged “I also cleaned up the fight…” Lily nodded smiling. *************** Flame yawned waking up again Whisper squirmed then sneezed lightly. Flame stared at her then glanced at the other’s each had a fate Flame wouldn’t wish on her worse enemy let alone her own pups. Flame closed her eyes again but sleep didn’t come. ***************** Sky looked around camp spotting some warriors “Ok let’s go on a hunting patrol” They nodded and Sky left with them. ********************* Lily looked at Half something was up with the pup. Lily looked at Scout and whispered “Hey take care of those two I’m taking Half for a walk” Scout nodded “Hey let’s see who can scent me down and catch me!” Scout ran off the pups following. Half looked at Lily “nice plan to get rid of those two” She said shrugging. Lily sighed “What’s wrong Half?” half looked to Lily “Bear doesn’t notice me ok?” “But he will someday” lily pointed out. ************************* Flame fell asleep and dreamt The prophecy is over Flame the six have been born but another is born “Six was the fix now the clock will tick down to the pup’s fate one will be filled with hate” Flame woke with a start. (Fox found out the chapters were on the same pages so she fixed it so this is most certaintly 100 pages
