A Life Of Bloodshed (ON HOLD)

Chapter 1

^Revengepaw / Winterpaw is the Header Art

A green wolf stood at the edge of a clearing, his tail swishing softly. Milky Way leads his pack towards the exit of the clearing.

"I'm guessing we are free to go now, Pentagon?", Milky Way asks the green wolf, who lifts his head, sorta startled by the cream wolf. Pentagon nods, and steps away from the exit of the camp. Milky Way turns his head back to his pack mates, swishing his tail to them to follow.

Milky Way steps out of the camp, walking down a long path leading into a large field. His pack mates file out behind him, Rocky, an adult now, following in the back. LynxTail walks over to Pentagon as Rocky's flank disappears into the shadows.

"You think they will be fine by themselves?", she asks. Pentagon turns to her.

"Yeah. I know how Milky Way is. He's smart. He knows how to survive in this strange world made of shapes. His pack knows how to survive here just as much as he does".

Bloodpaw looked around the clearing from on top of the Alpha Rock. Sunpaw and Firepaw were play fighting in the middle of the camp. Autumnpaw watched them calmly, smiling. Shadepaw stared at them with dark, angered eyes. Winterpaw, Shimmerpaw, and Brownpaw played together near the edge of the camp. Bloodpaw sighed. Me, WinterKit, Shimmerkit, and Brownkit were all made into apprentices after Rocky was kicked from the pack...

"Pack mates, please join around the alpha rock for a pack meeting!" Blood Moon's voice beside him startles Bloodpaw. Blood Bird steps out of the Alpha Cave and joins her mate on the ledge. Wolves step out of the dens all around the clearing. The apprentices stop what they are doing and sit in the clearing.

"I believe it is time for our many apprentices to become full pack mates. They have show great progress in hunting and fighting, and I believe they are all ready." Blood Moon announces, and Winterpaw's face alights with excitement. Blood Moon and Blood Bird turn to Bloodpaw, who smiles at his parents.

"I will now name off the apprentices that will be gaining their full names today", Blood Moon calls, looking around the clearing at all the wolves watching. "Bloodpaw, Sunpaw, Firepaw, Autumnpaw, and Shadepaw", Blood moon speaks after a few silent moments. Winterpaw's excitement is wiped off his face and turns to disappoint, sadness, and shock. Shimmerpaw sees her brother's shock, and tries to lean on him to comfort him.

"Uhm... Winterpaw. I know you want to be a full pack mate soon, but we ARE a bit too young still", Shimmerpaw whispers to her brother. Winterpaw brushed her off. "I know, but why Bloodpaw! We have just about the same experience that he has, so why is he given his name before us!?" Winterpaw snarls. Poisonbreeze shushes them, and Winterpaw glares at her.

"You shush Poisonbreeze! You don't know what I'm going through!" Winterpaw yowls at Poisonbreeze. "WINTERPAW" Blood moon snaps from the Alpha rock. "Are you done bickering?! I have apprentices to name!"

Winterpaw glares at Blood Moon with rage and hate. "So... Your new names will be! Bloodpelt, Sunfur, Firepelt, Autumn Leaf, and Shadeheart!" Wolves call out the names all around the clearing. All the wolves then disband after a few seconds. Winterpaw leaves the camp, quickly followed by Shimmerpaw and Brownpaw.

"Shimmerpaw, Brownpaw. Do you think...", the white and black apprentice hesitated for a few heart beats, but then he continued, "we could make our own pack together?". "Our own pack?", Brownpaw exclaimed, shocked at her brother's statement. "Yeah, our own pack, a better pack!", Winterpaw continued. "That would be crazy, but it would be nice..." Shimmerpaw muttered.

"Start your own pack, you say? Can my group of wolves join you, then, if you go through with your plan?", a deep voice asks from the trees. A fox looking canine steps from the trees, followed by a big brown wolf with long claws. "Who are you, first off?" Winterpaw questions. The Fox looking wolf smiles, "My name is Fox, and this wolf here is Claw". Claw smiles at the three apprentices. Winterpaw grins.

"Sure, but I need a new name", Winterpaw growls, still annoyed at Blood Moon. After a few moments, he grinned even more. "Revengepaw!" Winterpaw suddenly barks.

Fox smiles. "I will tell my wolves about you, Revengepaw. We will join your pack, if you do follow through with your plan", Fox says before turning and exiting the small clearing. Claw follows after. "Perfect. I hope he has many wolves!" Revengepaw barks, excitedly.

"Stupid Blood Moon won't know what hit him!"
