Home Sweet Home...

shadow entered the den's ground he dropped the wolf down hard
even if he was misunderstanding he had still drawn war's blood he sighed and went back to wolf form and entered the cave to to watch over the pups and dusky as they slept and watched the unconscious wolf from where if this stranger woke up he wouldn't see shadow until he was on him.

War shook even though it hurt "Reno is my half brother he has always hated me from when we were born because i was always stronger than him. and when i killed my father and mother. He vowed to kill me but i almost killed him and he backed down but now......he is back" War said angrily thinking of Reno

when reno started to wake shadow pinned him down
stay where you lay
he said to reno
then to fell he said
go get the alphas and war now
fell scrambled to find the alphas and told them that reno was awake and shadow needed to know what to do with him.

Siren looked down at the strange wolf."Reno?What is he doing here?What is going on?"She said curiously sniffing Reno's unconsious body.

Brambleclaw looked up from where he was and ran over to the wolf."Who is that?What is he doing in the den?"

Brightstar heard the yelping from War and ran to her aid and saw that she was badly wounded.So she went and got some herbs and got a long thin leaf."Hold still War."Brightstar grabbed the herbs and set them on the deep wound and grabbed the leaf and wrapped it up."That will make it heal faster and keeps it from getting better."
Graypaw yawned a bit and stretched his back legs."*yawn*Ugh..Whats going on?" he questioned as a dew drop hit his nose.

Katasha put her ears down and headed to the den where Reno was.She had loveing feelings growing for Vahn but didnt know how to express them."Um..Uh...Shadow....I know this is not the time but...I wanna...a..ask..Vahn to b...I want to tell him I l...lo...v...v..ve...I WANT TO TELL VAHN I LOVE HIM."She blurted out at Shadows face."How did Dusky tell you?How did you tell Dusky?Tell me everything."Katasha cocked her head."Please."

Icetail was in shock at what she said."You love Vahn..."But then she turned her head towards Brambleclaw and thought....I love Brambleclaw...too.

Vahn began to calm down and turn back to his old self.

surprised by this question that was blurted into his face shadow shook his head
she never actually said it. i did.
he looked down at his paws
back in opaz she was my fighting partner and well i was always getting hurt and she would take me back to the headquarters for healing. well we where far away and it was so cold. i had a fever she was keeping me warm and well i sorta said it to her. but for a while after i didn't remember that i had said it and she was always walking away and was acting differently. when i asked a friend she hit me and said i was an idiot for not seeing she liked me too and well she told me before she died and before we came here
he paused
....dont wait till you die to tell him gradually ease into it sit with him hunt fight and try to help him out he will show it if he likes you back

Fell had come and told Light and Lark that shadow had talken Reno to the den.

Light helped war lie down in the cave.Everyone was gathered around. Whats everybody talking about? Light asked sitting down.

lark came up beside her and lied down so that his back fur mixed with Lights.

let them tell you what should i do with this
he said motioning at reno

War looked at Reno with fire in her eyes "Oh i know what to do" War grabbed Reno and threw him across the cave wall. He died within a few secends "Does that help?" she asked smiling

Katasha nodded her head at Shadows wise words."Thank You Shadow."She wagged her tail before turning to face Reno.

shadow stared at her in horror he had hated the look of reno but to kill him
he sighed and shook his head
i would like to go hunting alone if i may alphas
he didn't wait for an answer he then left he ran down the deer trail he and the pups had found

War yawned she was tired. War went to the deepest part of the cave and went to sleep trying not to think about her dead half brother

Vahn turned towards Reno.He then grabbed Bonechiller and stuck it into Renos body and sucked out his soul."Do what you wish with the body.I shall take this soul to the Spirit Well."He said turning towards the forest."Be back in a while."

Katasha immediatly jumped up."Hey Vahn.Could I go?"

Vahn looked at her."Follow me if you so choose."

Katasha smiled."Yes."

there they where a small herd of deer
he felt the twinge begin behind his eyes
he closed then opened them again
his hackles went up he lurched forward
when he regained control of himself he saw a young baby deer shaking in fear before this bloodstained wolf in front of it
shadow sighed if he left it with no family alone it would surely die with a snap of his jaws he killed it
he paused and herded up the deers souls brought them to the edge of the death realm
returning he grabbed some bodies and headed back to the pack

War woke up and took her brothers body to a tree and howled for she still loved him but he went mad and could not live. He would kill her if not. War put her head on Reno's soft thick fur and cried "I am sorry" She moaned. War knew that she had to do it whither she liked it or not.

shadow entered the clearing
until that moment he had forgotten one thing
and the faces of the others gave it away
he was covered in blood but only carried five deer back one in his jaws the others on his back
he didn't look at anyone in the eye but walked to the river to clean up dropping his kills near the den

War stood up and scared Reno, it was his family's ritual and she would carry it on she walked away and saw Shadow she limped over to him "Did you have a good hunt?"

no
he snapped then sighed
i don't know whats gotten in to me
he thought to himself yes you do but he pushed it back
want to sit by the river with me?
he asked war

"Sure" War said calmly

as he lay by the river he shivered
i'm sorry about your brother
he lowered his head into his paws
i know how it feels

War sighed "It feels like you are killing yourself" War looked at the ground all of her pride washed away to show her saddness she had bottled up inside her for so long you could see all the memories "He didn't deserve to die"

Brambleclaw twitched his tail as he looked towards Icetail."Wanna go for a walk with me?"He looked at Icetail.

Icetail nodded her head."Yes."As they walked out of the cave side by side.

Graypaw rolled his eyes and then headed out and said."I am gunna go hunting."

Siren came out of the cave and saw War and Shadow."May I join you?"

sure
shadow looked at siren
he paused then said
want to fight?
his question had a deeper meaning to him than most would ever know
it won't be a fight to kill just to relax the mind. it is harder to fight without hurting someone than it is to hurt them.
he looked up at them
you don't have to worry about hurting me i can heal faster then mortals. and you will NOT get hurt.
then he added
please i really need to do this

War was stunned and stepped back

Siren heard the word fight then immediatly turned into her godly form.Her fur was a beautiful blinding snow white color with shining strange golden markings from head to tail.She grew angelic wings and her eyes were amber."Yes."She growled.

thank you
he said his god form falling over him
you tell me when
