StarCrossed

Chapter Two

Mocha's eyes shimmer as he cowers subtly, feeling overwhelmed by the amount of hyenas around them. Antoni looked down at Mocha with sad eyes. He growled at Mocha, not wanting anyone to see him cower. Mocha gazed up at Antoni, then slowly rose standing tall. Seven stood tall, with a smirk of victory plastered across his muzzle. Meanwhile in the cave, Kip still lay, hurt and petrified. Riptide lay next to him, protective of his friend, but one thing he couldn't take his eyes off of. She's back. Oh my god... Riptide's gaze went straight to one of the figures standing near Seven. His heart pounded in his chest, knowing that the whole army they had set up was going to try and demolish the small being. What if she gets hurt. I miss her. Vixen... Vixen snarled, ready for battle. She looked hungry, as if she had been waiting too long,and looked as if she were starting to get antsy. She smacked her jowls, ready to feast on whatever came near her. She had gone totally feral it seemed to Riptide. His eyes stung, but knew that he had to stay in the cave with his pack member. A thought sprang into his head, and now he had a choice to make. He had to make it fast, for the bloodbath was now beginning. Seven made the slightest movement of his head, and all the hyenas dropped down from cliffs above and enclosed in the sides while if you heard over the growling just right, you'd hear a defiant

"Be ready!"

from Antoni himself. Mocha was reverting back to his old self. The self in which he has no reason to fight a single being. It took awhile to settle in when he realized his pack members were needing him. Rita was fighting off two hyenas on her own, while Vanilla and Bailey were both working on one together. He looked around some more, seeing a member from Nova. his name was Cole, and he was fighting with another member next to him named Iris. Melody, another pup on the Nova, was being strangely protective over Iris. Iris was a mostly blue pup, with transparent violet hair, much like Cherry's. She had two black rings like Antoni's around her ears. Melody was a sunflower gold, with a dandelion yellow ring around one eye. Cole was a icy blue, very handsome to most. Although, his sights were on only one pup. That explains the fire in his eyes when he stares at Seven, and that he is seeming to not quit against the mounds of hyenas. Cherry however, seemed to not be fighting at all. She seemed torn, as if she were trying to pick a side. Mocha growled, and began to fight. He slashed a hyena right on the chest, and the hyena bit his ear hard. Mocha felt a warm liquid seep out of the new wound, and he clenched his jaw, right down on the hyena's neck. The hyena let out a whimper, and clashed him hard right in the back. Mocha went flying onto the ground sideways, dust spurring up around him. He didn't move. Antoni was fighting, clamping, scratching and biting anything that stood between him and his pack. Cole was fighting as hard as he could, which is quite a ruckus, considering he is one of the top pups in the pack. But he felt a sharp pain, tingling all the way up and down his back, he yelped and turned around, his first instinct to gnaw the victim's head off, his eyes dilated. He stops. Cherry stared back at him, her muzzle tight, her pupils appeared almost gone from dilation. She had chosen her side. Even so, Cole could not bring himself to fight the love of his life. The one he had known for ages. Cherry would rather go off with her evil mate, than protect her true family. Pathetic. He clenched his jaw, as if he were preparing for fight. Even if he wasn't gonna do it, he still played the part. But as he was hung up on Cherry, her face went back to her normal, sweet self. Except a few words Cole would never forgive her for. Her eyes turned to sorrow.

"I'm sorry Cole." Her voice rang through his ears, while a ear piercing yelp rang through hers. She looked tired and weary, but no tears came. It's as if she really and truly didn't care about him. He hit the ground. Cherry sighed. She had enough action for the day. She ran up to where Seven was, just standing where he had always been. All the surrounding hyenas has kept the not so big packs now occupied. She padded up there, with a sad smile.
