Losing Friends

"This is the prophecy." Cobalt stood before me. I swallowed. He had died in his sleep, or so Cobalt told me. "I'll save you the trouble of finding the wolves in your group and just tell you. The wolves are: Blake, Kya, and Galactical. You know there is a battle happening in the morning. You three will face- I can't tell you that. Now go!" The dream faded. Cobalt was gone. "WHERE ARRRRE YOU?" A loud voice boomed from outside. I changed into Sky and stood up on the bed. The window was open. I readied my hindquarters, and leaped, propelling myself forward. I rolled on the grassy ground. Five wolves were standing around me. "What do we do with em?" A brown and caramel colored one barked. "First we have to find out who this is, Snickers." "Gosh, Wiry!" Yelped another wolf who had grey fur and yellowish patches. "Oh, be quiet, Digger! I'm the leader of this group!" Growled Wiry. The other two wolves stood beside each other, both with ginger fur.  How did they get to be that color? "Look!" The dark ginger wolf said, ears tilted toward Blake's house. Blake was running straight at us! "Get out of the way! Flash!" The ginger wolf howled. "It's a wolf. We can take it down, Lotus." Flash sneered. "Just stop!" I yelped, watching Snickers, Digger, and Wiry stop fighting. Flash and Lotus just stared blankly at me. "Why are you all here?" I demanded. "We were told to fight four wolves." Sighed Digger. I saw that his shoulder was cut. "I was told to fight you guys." I said, starting to feel my fur rise. Almost instantaneously, I felt Blake's pelt beside me, along with Kya's and Galactical's. "Let's do this." Galactical said in my ear. I leaped at Snickers, teeth ripping into his muzzle. Warm blood dripped into my mouth. I let go, Snickers yelping and reeling backward. Scarlet drops of blood scattered, staining the ground. He turned tail and ran. I watched Digger go next, Galactical panting heavily. Kya had Wiry's scruff in her mouth and was throwing him into a tree. Wiry screamed and ran away. Flash and Lotus hadn't moved. "You defeated Wiry." Was all Flash said. Lotus stood still, her eyes glazed with pain. "Snickers is my father. We don't have healers in our pack. He's going to die!" Flash barked.  Lotus yelled, "Snickers never cared for me, nor my brother Flash. I suppose it's for the best." She stared down glumly at the floor. "I know what it's like to lose someone." I said softly, nuzzling Lotus's side.  "At least we didn't have to fight." Flash said softly. "I don't like bloodshed." Lotus went over to Flash and buried her nose within his fur. 

A rustle of movement caught my attention. I wheeled around and saw Autumn, Connor, Champ, and Shadow ready to run. "Guys, what are you doing?" Kya asked cautiously. "Where are you going!" Galactical barked. "We were sent our destinies." Shadow spoke up. Then, they ran off. "Lotus, Flash, I guess you're staying here tonight."
