The Chronicals Of Darkness: Tainted Water

((...You do realize that she's my sister, right? She can get on just as much as I can; she just never bothers to visit often.

Also, Neon, Cross sent a boulder down towards Lazor, so he should react.))

Eclipse collapsed. She was weakening.

Zero watched them go.

Venice raised her head. The wind blew around her due. She stoode on high cliffs above the fighting wolves. She couldn't be seen. (Her element is Fire and darkness..... She hasn't recover her element yet xD Neon, I got a question xD)

(0_0 I never did notice.... I only noticed that you both where twelve.... I didn't notice that you were related....)

Venice glanced at Echo and dipped her head as she sat down, curling her tail around her paws. "Go on."

Eclipse's eyes glowed as she made a weird sound as images flashed in her mind. The cave world vanished. She heard the worlds Dashers Daughter. She couldn't make out the images. What....?

Venice looked sharply at Echo. "Dasher's daughter?!"

Venice's eyes clouded. She sorta liked Dasher, but not like Eclipse and Cross did. "Unknown mother....."

Eclipse shuddered as her eyes slowly stopped glowing and she fell limp, eyes sqeezed shut in pain.

Zerrin looked at Eclipse, his eyes widening. "She Sences something.... Something wrong!" he barked sharply, padding up beside Neon.

((ooh, sounds like competition~ I actually did dream about Cross, though... ah well. We'll see; I always have Nightclaw.))

"Yes! We can defeat you!" Cross suddenly snarled, leaping at him. But it was a fake-out, and she then jumped to the side, aiming her claws ferociously at his side. She thought she heard ominous words spoken by something, almost as if the cave were talking, but she couldn't make them out. Whatever they were, though, they gave her strength and she attempted to plunge her fangs into Dark Dasher's shoulder. She gave a fierce battle cry as she attacked.

Nightclaw's ears pricked; she had gone out alone, to search for the others. But now she thought she was getting close to something. Quickly, she began running. But it seemed that the source never got any closer.

(Go Cross!)

Eclipse lie there, head wheeling. "D-d-d.... " My pelt shuddered as I went rigid, images bursting in my mind. I didn't understand.

"Aagh!"

Cross yelped in pain, sliding back for a moment as the blood on her shoulder, fresh, seeped into her blue fur, staining it a purplish scarlet. She decided against shaking herself off, then slid her paw against the ground, causing a few rocks to fall at Dark Dasher's paws; she hoped to immobilize him, if not for just a moment, so there would be an opening to attack.

Eclipse bared her fangs. Zerrin entered her mind, and made her pain slowly faded away. He closed his eyes. "Go. Help them."

Eclipse staggered up, swaying /as her mind wheeled. He made herself water forward, and she gained a burst of energy. I bounded silently and jumped on Dark Dasher rom behind, her jaws locking on his scruff as her fangs sank in and she clung to him, growling.

(Venice replied to Exho on page 34 :3 §)

The male toppled on tip pd Eclipse. She gasped, her breathe squished out of her lungs. Her paws scrambled as she tried to get up, when her paws stopped moving as she froze. She had helped kill the one she loved. She made a strangled Boise.

Venice fell silent. "We must find out who she is....."

"Dasher. i loved you so much...Why did you have to die?"

((Come on, UE, read this topic!))

Cross froze for a moment as the wolf's body started to stay still. For a moment, a huge grin began to grow on her face. They had done it! She gave a jump of joy, then remembered... where was the real Dasher?

"Dasher?" she called. But then the blue wolf's heart jolted. Wasn't he.... dead?

Sucking in a lot of air, she gave a deep, mournful howl that rang across the stone edges of the cave and out into the sky away from them.

---

Nightclaw stopped midstep. There it was again -- a howl! And it was Cross's! She kind of saw the blue and black she-wolf as a mother, since she had taken care of Nightclaw after Aqua died. With a faithful burst of energy, she tore across the ground like a swooping falcon, slipping towards the front of the cave. But immediately, she jumped to the side and pressed her ear against the outside wall, not wanting to interrupt.

Cross listened intently to Winter's voice, pondering the options. Dasher was more important to her than anything. "Yes," she said, her breath stifled by pain and relief at the same time. Her fur was allowed to lie flat again as the enemies faded away into nothing, even from her memories. She wouldn't ever have to think of them again.
