The New Light of Hope: Books I to VI.

Chapter VII: A Prey Thief.

Amethyst:

Date: August 7, 2020.

The next day came and we saw Summer once again after her time away to deal with Zachary's trial and a few other things before hand where she told us everything that happened Zachary was sentenced to six years to life, meaning that he wouldn't see the light of day again until 2026; if he made it through that long. Now, the thing that we were all shocked about is the fact that Zachary initially wanted Summer to take her own life on the night of the same day that was she was informed that Autumn had cancer. "Is he insane or something?" I asked. "He went so far as to try and blackmail the nurses and doctors into not telling your sister that she had cancer but did so anyway, and he wanted you to take your life?!"

Summer: "Well, when you put it that way, then yes. But all of it is said and done with now and I can rest soundly now knowing that that bastard is behind bars after all that he had done to me, my family, my sister, and everyone he hurt as well."

Sadie: "I'm glad that he's behind bars as well after hearing what he did to Mrs. Cromwell and those nurses as well."

Bellatrix: "You and me both, sister."

Commander Aurora: "I'm glad he's behind bars as well. But wait, wouldn't that mean that every business he created and everything that he had owned will be passed down to his son even though all of it was supposed to be passed down when he passed away?"

Summer: "Yes, yes it does."

Commander Aurora: "Oh, well, I hope he does a better job than his father."

Summer: "I know that he will."

After some talking, we then headed off to the Divisions were stationed in at the beginning, where something unexpected would then pop up and would then become a major problem for all of us.

Summer:

"Just what in the hell is going on?!" I heard a voice ask someone. I looked to see SmokeSplash and PuddleClaw outside of the camp, SmokeSplash's smokey gray ears were pricked up, his smoke gray tail was pointed up as well, and he bared his teeth at the bobcat. PuddleClaw arched his back with his fur sticking up all while hissing and making spitting noises towards SmokeSplash in return for his hostile behavior. "For the last damn time, SmokeSplash: I didn't do it!!"

SmokeSplash: "You were the last one who was at the prey pile to start with, so how am I wrong for thinking that you're the one who stole half o fthe food from the pile?"

PuddleClaw: "Because I didn't do it! Why are you accusing for something as stupid as this?"

SmokeSplash: "Because I know that you may have something to do with the lack of food in the prey pile!"

PuddleClaw: "No the hell I don't, SmokeSpla—"

Summer: "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Stop it, both of you and tell me what the hell is going on here!"

SmokeSplash: "Someone has been stealing food from the prey pile for the past three days now and it's happened once again! And I have every reason to suspect that PuddleClaw here has something to do with it."

PuddleClaw: "The only reason you think I had something to do with it is because I was once a rogue who was brought here one day by a patrol and you took me in! That's the only reason why you think I did something as stupid as stealing food which I didn't do!"

Summer: "All right, break it up! Timeout for a moment. SmokeSplash, can you show what they prey pile looks like right now? And PuddleClaw, once we're done inspecting the prey pile, I want to here your side of the story to see if what you're saying is true."
