Non-art book

Addie's first (third) ever story :,)

Book three let's a gooooo

I am NOT putting another character rundown, it's all the same characters plus the ones added here

TW for the same stuff, minus giving birth- actually wait that might happen idk I haven't read this in years- what was it with me and wolf romance. Also this was something of way-too inspired by a book series called Wolves of the Beyond, if my fellow WotB readers can tell by the poorly hidden references to the malchads (how do I spell that)

Chapter 1

Twilight

___________________________

The hot sands burned Blade's paw pads. The sun beat down on her fur. Blade was happy to be back in this environment, where she could get the moisture from cacti and prickly pears and splash in the clear ponds of oases with her brother, Fang. She kicked up some sand from the ground. Falcon's pups; Peony, Sophia, Diamondcrafter, and Arctic; pounced where it landed. They had traveled from the snowy tundra, back through the taiga, and to the southern border, and they entered the mesa from there.

Blade looked back at Fang, who was looking at a large plateau to the east, it's top flat as a table. In the distance was a labyrinth of tall clay spires, hoodoos. She marveled at the formations spiraling into the sky.

"Stop," stated Pebble, who was at the front of the group.

The pack stopped moving and listened. Blade sniffed the air for predators or scouts from the oasis near the center of the large mesa biome, which was not far from their position. Blade suddenly heard a swoosh sound in the sand that could not be the wind. Then, she saw her.

She was silver-furred, much smaller than her, and had black marks in various places. Her eyes were a ghostly blue. She looked very frightened. That's when she saw them. She tucked her tail and grounded the side of her face into the sand.

"Oh, I'm sorry for running! I should have stayed for my punishment! Oh, I'm. terribly, terribly sorry!" she exclaimed, grinding her face even more into the ground.

"What are you talking about? And why are you putting your face like that?" questioned Fang.

"Huh? You're not CactusClan patrols?" she said, confused.

"No! We would never! We're here to RIP THEM TO SHREDS!!!!!" Blade yelled. Fang joined her, along with Glitch, Grace, Forever, and Marian. That's when Blade noticed her paws and ear.

On the small wolf's paws were cuts and scratches. They had a greenish tint, showing its infection. As for her ear, well, it wasn't there. She had only one silvery ear that was churned into the ground.

The strange wolf looked up in surprise at the wolves and stood up.

"Well, then," she said awkwardly, "I'm Twilight. Some other Deform Wolf named Tear accused me of the STUPIDEST thing ever and they actually BELIEVED him. So now I'm on the run from a patrol they sent out to look for me. So, yeah, I'm on the run from some TOTAL DUMMIES that are believing a Deform Wolf with a missing NOSE. I mean, how is that POSSIBLE??"

"Calm down," said Tundra, who had stepped forward during Twilight's explanation.

"Alright! Alright," said Twilight, and she sat down. Suddenly, the shifting wind sent them a troubling scent.

"Patrols! Twilight, hide!" exclaimed Blade. Twilight ducked behind Reed.

Then, 4 wolves came around a barrel cactus, all with the same white mark on their shoulders.
