The Dusk before Dawn

Branched Lovers

Sunpaw waited, and waited and waited yet Nightshade wouldn't come back. One fox saw him and climbed up the hill and sat next to him, Sunpaw looked determined. "Hello~" She said, trying to get his attention. "Not now." "I'm waiting for Ni-SOMETHING" Sunpaw added and pushed her off the hill. He stared at the tunnel leading to dusk, he stayed up all night and day and night again, He just decided to go find Duskpack. He ran off the hill and into the tunnel, Finally out of there, He ran into Duskpack territory and backed up right in front of the bootcamp, "Crap!" He said rescooting across the ground, trying to slow down. He ran just outside the territory because he remembered she's the medic, she has a herb route. So he wrote her a message reading: "Nightshade, remember that talk we had?" And ran and hid behind a boulder, Nightshade was still mad and was going to her her usual herb route and stopped right at the message. She looked down. She dropped her things and ran across hills and mountains instead of taking the tunnel, She was running 100 miles per hour. (Dawnpack and Duskpack are far away from eachother) Sunpaw ran into the tunnel and back out, to the hill. He waited about two minutes before Nightshade arrived, Panting. Nightshade ran up the hill and jumped on him, which caused them to topple down the hill. They both nuzzled eachother before Sunpaw's mom, Goldeen walked out to check on him (she was when he was waiting for Nightshade) They were in a awkward position When she walked up to them. They both looked over at her and realized how much of a awkward position they were in and got off eachother and sat next to eachother, both faces red. They both looked at Goldeen when her face was red....With Anger. Goldeen Bit Sunpaw's ear and dragged him inside. Nightshade was still sitting there with a red face when Goldeen Bit her arm hardly, as a warning. Nightshade was bleeding. "If you go near my son again I will tear your head off and eat your heart" Goldeen growled. Nightshade couldn't even talk so she whimpered and limped away. She went through the tunnel To Duskpack, She limped to the medic's den and just made a bandage/cast out of one huge leaf. Nightshade limped down to the fresh kill pile and ate a bird or two, and limped back up to the medic's den. But Midnight noticed her when she was limping up and stopped her. "What happened?!?" Midnight said nervously, "I got- I fell on a really sharp side of a rock" Nighshade added, lying. "I'm ok" Nightshade said. She limped back up to the medic's den and ate some herbs to ease the pain. Meanwhile Sunpaw was being scolded because of the awkward position and when he was done he sneaked out to the hill and sat there and waited. Nightshade went through the tunnel And went up the hill right after he sat down. Nightshade sat right next to him and they both looked at the moon, at it's fullest. They both howled and everyone howled, too. They both looked at eachother and rested their heads on eachother's necks and fell asleep. The next morning they both awoke at the same time and looked at eachother and smiled. "Wanna go adventure?" Sunpaw said, "Sure!" Nightshade added. So they both got up and walked away from the hill and just ran to a nearby territory. It was the shadow territory and they ran halfway back. They both decided to Go to the magical tunnel. So they ran back and ran into the tunnel and into the den-looking place. They both went over to the resting area in the place and they both got tired from running so they both slept. A mean wolf decided to stomp down the tunnel. Sunpaw woke up by the time the wolf was in the area. "HA! I guess I do get to kill a fox" The wolf said in a mean voice. Sunpaw and The wolf both growled. Sunpaw put some tranquilizer on his teeth, Nightshade finally woke up and got up to see what was going on, And she got up and growled deeply, baring her teeth infront of the wolf. The mean wolf pretended to whimper and laughed. "I guess I get to kill a wolf, too" Sunpaw jumped on him and was digging his jaws in the wolf's neck. The wolf was bleeding like crazy "HA HA HA HA" the wolf said, speech going down slowly wiggly "ha......h" the wolf said "I'm gonna go lie down." the wolf said, sleepily. He at least could handle it until he got out of the cave. "Let's get out of here" Nightshade said, looking down at some of the blood on the ground. Sunpaw washed his mouth using a big leaf and scooping some of the water from the pond. "Ok, I think it might be late out too because we slept for awhile." Sunpaw added. So they walked up the tunnel and went to the hill. It was 12:23 A.M. And they sat next to eachother. "The joys of being a kid" Nightshade said. They fell asleep shortly after. The two Cloaked wolves Came up again and one picked up Sunpaw the other Nightshade. One of them dragged Sunpaw to their den and put a earring clip on him. "Try to find you lover now." The cloaked wolf growled, quietly. The other took nightshade on top of a mountain and wrapped her up in vines. "Heheh, once you wake up, you'll fall, once you fall, you'll be dead." The other cloaked wolf said, so quietly Nightshade couldn't even hear them. Nightshade woke up the next morning, tied up. She didn't fall, yet she looked over and chewed on the vines and got out. She was full awake and aware. She was standing on a ledge, when the ledge started to break. She jumped off the ledge right when it broke off. She was now on the mountain hanging off, she climbed up. "Wow! How did I get here?" She said. She looked over and saw Lawless bootcamp and decided to go and ask where she is. She walked up to some wolves "Hello....Do you know where I am?" Nightshade said. "Uh.. You're at Lawless bootcamp, like, duh." A wolf said. "Specifically the area. Not where I am right now" Nightshade said. Some of the wolves giggled and walked away there was only two wolves, and one fox left. "Ugh......How far am I from Duskpack territory?" Nightshade said, "Not far." The fox said. The fox walked up to a ledge and the wolves followed by his side. "Come" The fox said. Nightshade followed and one of the Wolves moved so she could see. Both of the Wolves backed up. "There." The fox said lifting his paw up and pointing, There was Three mountains infront of them (and some plains right infront of them about one or two miles long) "It will be a long journey" The fox said "We'll go with you.". "We must prepare. Stay here" The fox said. Half-an-hour later They came back with swords, a lot of big bags, and some water. They gave some of the few things to Nightshade. "Here." The fox said. "My name is Abben, Abben the fox by the way." Abben said. "This is Lefty" Abben pointed his head to the wolf on the left, "Hi." Lefty said. "And this is Righty" Abben said pointing his head to the wolf on the right "Allo!" Righty said. "We'll Leave at Dawn" Abben said. (It was 6:00 A.M. it was still really dark out) So they all sat at the ledge. Abben went to get some more things right before sunrise. "It is time." He said while the sun was rising. They all walked down the mountain. Meanwhile, At dawnpack, Sunpaw woke up mindless. He walked To the fox from earlier "Hello." Sunpaw said. Sunpaw's Father walked up next to the fox from earlier. "Meet Auburn," He said "She will be your mate. You will marry tomorrow.". "We Shall." Sunpaw said mindlessly. Sunpaw's father (the alpha of dawn) Walked away happily. Auburn smiled "Let's go do whatever I want!" She said. "Yes, Misstriss." Sunpaw said. "C'mon!!" She said. Auburn ran into a nearby forest and Sunpaw followed her by her side at the same pace. "Catch me something yummy, and make me something soft to lay on. this rock is disgusting!" She said stepping on soft wet dirt, "Hmph". "Yes Misstriss." He said. He caught a rabbit and brung it back and (skinned?) it and lied the fur on a rock (it was a big rabbit) "pff" She said. Sunpaw found four sticks and stuck them in the ground surrounding the rock. He then found some aloe ripped it open and used the gel as a adhesive and put it all over the top of all the sticks and put a gigantic leaf on top acting like a canopy. It started raining shortly after "EW! It's all humid now and gross and wet!" She said. "Do not worry, I will cool you down. Misstriss." He said, he found a big leaf and waved it back and fourth infront of her "Much better, slave." She said. "Wait...Isn't it autumn? It's cold out!" Sunpaw said in his mind "Why am I tending to this fox?! I should be finding— wait, who is she?! I've grown up with her since I was a pup!!" Sunpaw said again in his mind "I-I can't move!!!!". "I'm cold now. Slave make me a blanket and some lunch." She said. Meanwhile back with Nightshade, They went down the mountain to a little groove behind some vines. They walked through to find A wolf, "IceHowl, Were on a journey And we would like for you to come with us." Abben said. "Ok, Let me just get my stu—" IceHowl (the wolf they found) Said, taking a glance dat Nightshade, "Uh, stuff.". IceHowl got some of his stuff and he put on a wizard hat and his sword and etc on. IceHowl put some stuff in his bags, "What are those?" Nightshade said. "Oh these? I call them B.O.M.B.'s Beware Of More Blasts." IceHowl explained. "Cool" Nightshade said. "Everyone ready?" Abben said. Everyone nodded. "Okay. We shall be off then" He added. Abben walked out being the lead, with Righty and Lefty right behind him And Nightshade following, With IceHowl behind Nightshade. They all walked through the plains and entered a forest where A Buck was wanting to challenge them. "Is he challenging us???" Righty said. "COME AT ME BRO" The buck said. "Just go back, we do not plan on hurting anybody." Abben said. "COME AT ME" The buck insisted, "We might as well have breakfast, so....." Lefty added. Abben sighed, "Alright." He said. -everything goes into fighting mode- Buck used his horns on: Lefty. Does 9 damage. Abben used maturity on the Buck, Does 20 damage. "DANG, MATURITY IS MY WEAKNESS!!" The buck said. Nightshade used skip turn, does 0 damage. IceHowl used B.O.M.B. , does a whopping 50 Damage. Righty used her sword, does 30 damage. The Buck's health is 70. Lefty used bite, does 20 damage. The buck used Backup, Four other bucks went up behind him, does 50+ Shock. Abben used give IceHowl his turn "Wait we could do that?!" Righty said. IceHowl Howled one of the Melodies a spirit taught him. A avalanche Occurred and while IceHowl was howling the melody Nightshade's ear's went straight up. "We need to go......NOW" IceHowl said. Abben looked up and saw a bunch of snow falling down from the mountain they were beside. "RUN" Abben Growled. They all ran except the Bucks, "pfft run from what?—" the Main buck said as 10 pounds of snow crashed on all the Bucks. "Luckily we got out of there so fast!" Righty said, "Yeah!" Lefty added. They all started walking through the forest and over one mountain by the time it was dusk. IceHowl made a campfire with one of his potions and some stuffz he grounded up. They all sat by the fire and started plotting how they are going to get to Duskpack bootcamp the fastest. "Uh, Righty and I will be right back" Lefty giggled. "Yeah we'll be back" Righty added. Righty and lefty walked away far, far, away from the camp fire. Abben sighed, "They're at it again". "Ugh." IceHowl said "They just can't stay away from eachother". "...", "I have some leftover meat...." Nightshade said. "Great!" Abben said excitedly. Abben grabbed two sticks (using his mouth) and put them on the sides of the fire and he put rocks all around the fire (to make a shield-ish thing) and he took out a iron rod (from his bag) "give me the meat" Abben said, "Ok" Nightshade said, giving him the meat. "That is a lot of meat, wow!" IceHowl added. Abben stuck the rod through the meat and "hold the rod" Abben said, giving it to Nightshade. Abben grabbed some vines and tied them to the sticks and grabbed the rod Nightshade was holding and making a cooking station. "Wow." IceHowl said. "Dude you can build greatly" Nightshade added. "Food will be done by the time Lefty and Righty are done ✖️" Abben said. Nightshade giggled a little looking at Abben's face. Abben decided to catch some fish (there was a river right behind them) and put them on the rod as well. Half an hour later Righty and Lefty came back exhausted and everyone stared at them disgusted "What?" Righty giggled. Righty and Lefty glanced at the food cooking "OH MY GOSH YAY YOUR COOKING!!!!" Righty and Lefty both said excitedly. "Yep. And it's ready" Abben said. Abben took off the meat from the rod. "Ok who wants what?" He said. "I WANT FISH!!" Righty And Lefty both said. "Ok ok!" Abben snickered. Abben gave Righty and Lefty some fish "I would like some of the deer meat." IceHowl said reading his book of bliss. (Bliss was a amazing wolf named bliss) "Same here." Nightshade added. Abben split the deer meat in three so himself, Nightshade, And IceHowl, get to eat deer meat. Nightshade glanced at IceHowl and he glanced back. "It can't be him" Nightshade said in her mind. They all ate and then Abben made some sort of tent for everybody. "Alright, I have three tents, one for the girls one for the boys and one for me." Abben explained. "That's not fair!!" Lefty said, "Righty and I should have the third tent!". Abben sighed "Yeah right you guys will just be doing it all night long." Abben said. Lefty growled a bit at Abben, "Shush.". "I think I should have the third tent, I might be up later than you think." IceHowl said. "Alright fine, You can have it Ice." Abben said. "Thanks" IceHowl said. "Okay, it is resting time. Everyone go to your tents." Abben said. Everyone went to their tents and slept- accept for Ice, he was up reading his book. The next morning the birds were chirping, the flowers are (not) blooming, on days like this, Nightshade would howl a melody on the first highest point she sees. Everyone was still asleep when Nightshade climbed up a tall hill and howled. IceHowl woke up when she howled. His ears went straight up, he climbed up to see Nightshade. "Heh." He said.
