Claws and Fangs

Claws and Fangs: book 1: Blur

Cocoa slipped in the mud and crashed into a tree, the rain poured harder. "LATTE!" Spirt screamed. Latte turned a dirty look on him, "what?" She snapped.
"Think you can turn off the rain?!" Spirt bellowed. Latte shrugged and Cocoa slipped her claws to the mud and made a plant push upward to wrap around her sisters paws, "Latte- please? It's getting annoying! I know you're mad- but it won't help that we are all Miserable because of something you're doing!" Latte rolled her eyes and look at the Sky and Swallowed. The rain stopped and Latte looked at Cocoa "can you let me go" she asked with a sigh.
Cocoa let her sister go.
"Let's keep moving." Hazel grumbled and twined her tail with Spirt's. "HEY!" Yelled someone from behind them, "YOU'RE TRESPASSING!"
Cocoa turned and saw a blurry figure, "RUN!" She screeched. Hazel and Spirt bolted off, Latte right behind them, Cocoa closed her eyes and Concentrated on the plants around her, She will the power to come toward her in suddenly power Surged through her, the plants energy made its way to her shoulder blades and Cocoa felt a tingle. Something Sprouted out of Cocoa's shoulders. *YES! My wings!* Cocoa though looking back. The time seemed to stop. The blurry figure was now almost only a foot behind Cocoa. Cocoa's leaf shaped wings thrust her into the sky and she caught up with her friends in no time. "RUN FASTER!" Cocoa screamed. Suddenly Hazel and Spirt seemed to realize, oh- we have wings to! And they both flew into the sky too. Cocoa look up her sister. She was willing rain to come. "NO!" Cocoa yelled, "NO RAIN! THERE'S A POND UP HERE!" Latte nodded and ran faster right into the pond and then, two minutes later, Emerged with watery wings. Her wings were shipped that like but they were made of water that made her glide through the sky gracefully. Cocoa beat her wings faster to catch up with Hazel and Spirt. "YOU WON'T GET AWAY THAT EASY!!!" Cocoa heard someone yell from behind. "I WILL FIND YOU!!!"

~1 hour later~

Cocoa landed last, hopping down from a tree and letting the power slide from her wings to the trees. They grew a few feet. Cocoa's wings were now gone, so where Latte's and there was a big puddle beneath her. Hazel and Spirt were dragon-cats with wings and couldn't get rude of theirs, but Cocoa and Latte were Qwelzant Furries and could. Cocoa curled up and said, "what's for dinner?" Stars we're coming out.
"Um-" said Hazel, "Bear?"
Cocoa wrinkled up her nose. "I'm a vegetarian-"
Hazel sighed, "I know one second." Cocoa dug her claws into the ground and said "no need, I found blackberries." Suddenly a Blackberry bush taller than all of them combined sprouted in front of Cocoa. Cocoa smiled and plucked all the berries and put them all in a Pouch that was around her neck. She had five. One carried the berries, one Carried medicine supply, One Carries fresh water (the Pouches were waterproof) and the last two both Carried light butterflies (light butterflies are butterflies That emit light, [Cocoa found them dead] but even dead they can emit light)
"Well let's get some sleep." Latte said. Everyone agreed.
Cocoa woke with a start. Latte was staring at her in shock. Cocoa stood up quickly, "what?" She demanded.
Latte blinked- "you- your wings..." she said faintly. Cocoa looked over her shoulder and gasped. Her wings *were* there... but they were different...
They were still leaf shaped, yes, but they were made of feathers- like a bird. "Well- that's odd..." Cocoa said
"YOU THINK?!" Latte shouted, anger powering her voice. Hazel and Spirt stirred and blinked their eyes open. "What's going on..." Hazel murmured.
"COCOA IS KEEPING SECRETS FROM US!!!" Latte screamed. Cocoa hissed, digging her claws in the ground again. "I AM NOT! I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THIS COULD HAPPEN!!!"
"YEA RIGHT! I BET YOU DID AND YOU WERE PLANNING AND RUNNING AWAY AND LEAVING US' ISN'T THAT RIGHT?!"
"NO!" Cocoa bellowed.
"Yea." Hazel said. "Your names don't fit you..."
"SHUT UP!" Latte snapper at the same time Cocoa rolled her eyes and said "neither does yours"
Hazel nodded, "you're not wrong" She said.
"Told you." Said a silky voice. "Told you I'd find you!" A shape moved in the trees and Cocoa kept in the air along with Hazel and Spirt, "WHAT ABOUT ME?!?!" Latte cried desperately.
Cocoa looked around for water, the little in her Pouches wouldn't be enough.
The blurry shape leaped on Latte and she screamed, kicking out. Blood welled up around the fighting Qwelzant Furries (at least Cocoa though the blur was a Qwelzant Furry- it looked like by the way it was fighting and the body shape) Cocoa landed and bashed her paw against the blur's head. He screamed backed up. Up close Cocoa saw that it really was a Qwelzant Furry... but maybe a ghost? It was all blurry around the edges. It's fur was rough and Uncombed, all blobby too, it's fur color was black. Or a really dark blue, Cocoa couldn't tell.
Blur moved closer to Latte and Cocoa leaped at him banging his head against a tree, blood welled on her claws and she bit down on Blur's ears. He screamed leaped away out of her grasp.
Cocoa hissed and yelled "STAY AWAY FROM US! YOUR'RE JUST A BLUR THAT CAN ONLY DO I LITTLE DAMAGE!" Latte nodded, already back on her feet, her eyes wolf with anger.
Blur hissed and stalked away.

~10 minutes later~

Cocoa hissed, her tail lashing, "what a help you two were!" She snapped at Hazel and Spirt. "Like you would do anything in battle!" Cocoa rolled her eyes, "I TOLD YOU WE SHOULDN'T HAVE LEFT THE MOUNTAINS! IT WAS SAFE! IT HAD FOOD AND WATER! AND SHELTER!!!" Hazel looked down, "I wanted to see-"
"YOU WANTED TO SEE YOUR SISTER! BUT THATS DUMB! WILLOW IS DEAD!!!"
Hazel sobbed.
Spirt twined his tail with hers and glared at Cocoa. "She's not wrong..." Latte said. "Hazel, face it- you can't Willow. She's moved on" Hazel hunkered down and sobbed again.
Cocoa hissed and took a drink from her Pouch. "If only you could see that we have a great threat here that WAS NOT at the MOUNTAINS we're we should have STAYED!!" Latte snapped.
Hazel look down, "but she-"
"NO!" Cocoa hissed, "SHE'S DEAD! D-E-A-D- DEAD!!!"
Hazel Lied down and covered her face with her talons.

Cocoa layer in a tree while Spirt stood on his hind legs and yelled at Latte with Hazel Crouching behind him.
Cocoa rolled her eyes as the fight raged on. Then Hazel gasped and looked behind her...
It was the blur.
He was back.
And her brought friends
