Shadows, book 2. Soulless puppet

Part 18

Bad Flower glared at Rose as she ran, "We need to find another way into the underworld." Ocean nodded her head in agreement with Bad Flower, "We also need no more traitors." Bad Flower started to pace in the spot the portal was at moments ago muttering, "If Sun is possessed then Nimrod must be." Ocean looked at Bad Flower slightly startled, "What do you mean?" Bad Flower stopped pacing and looked at Ocean, "They possess the weak. Look at Nimrod, his parents abused him. Sun losted his mate and a few friends in the war. Just think about it; they probably threatened HeavyDirtySoul with Overcast because everyone is weak in their eyes. It matters not who you're weak for or what happened that made you weak. To them weak is weak!" Ocean nodded her head thinking about it, "Bad Flower, that makes sense." Riptide looked at Ocean then Bad Flower, "So that means X-Ray may get possessed next?" Bad Flower looked at Ocean slightly alarmed, "Y-Yes" Ocean looked around, "We need to find a way in."

Meanwhile X-ray and Stitchez landed in the underworld. Stitchez looked around then muttered, "Remind me never to come back down here." X-Ray nodded his head in agreement, "Yeah." Stitchez heard someone walking close to them so he grabbed X-Ray and hid behind a pile of rocks. Stitchez saw what looked like Nimrod and HeavyDirtySoul in the dim light. They stopped in front of the pile of rocks as HeaveyDirtySoul said, "Nimrod, you know what to do Sweetie." Stitchez put a paw in his mouth to muffle his gasp. Nimrod looked around, nodded and then said in a bored voice, "Never call me that again but yeah whatever." When they left, Stitchez turned to X-Ray and whispered, "Did HeavyDirtySoul do what I just think he did?" X-Ray nodded, "I think he did." Stitchez closed his eyes, "He possessed Nimrod by using flattery?" X-Ray shook his head, "No. They're with Scorch. They have been traitors and spies from the beginning" Stitchez sighed but didn't argue. X-Ray looked at his mate, "Lets go." In the distance they heard HeavyDirySoul humming "Heathens". Stitchez muttered to X-Ray, "Remind me to tell Overcast to never sing or hum that song again." X-Ray nodded his head and muttered back, "Alright. Is there anything else you want me to remind you?" Stitchez gave a stern face before they crept along; they heard Scorchs voice ask, "Are they all here?" HeavyDirtySoul's voice responded, "Yes. The other one is around here somewhere. I smelt his and his mates' scent."  

Stitchez hid behind a huge rock, afraid to look and have the chance of being seen. "X-ray,You your echolocation or something" he whispered in a panic. "Alright" X-ray closed his eyes and pricked his ears, listening for their voices. "I want him alive. Once all three have been returned we can start the ceremony." Stitchez hunched over and turned to X-ray for their position. "There by the entrance to their camp, they're waiting for us." "Geez, you're good," Stitchez whispered back. He slowly crept behind a rock and saw Scorch walking away and HeavyDirtySoul Sitting in the front waiting for him. "We have to have a well thought out plan" X-ray whispered to him. A loud cry came from the top from the castle, It was Pipet howling. She raced to the balcony of the castle but was quickly caught, having nowhere to go. "NO!" she screamed as she was dragged back inside. The camp fell silent once more. "Where is she?" Stitchez turned to X-ray. "What?" "WHERE IS SHE?" He said once more. "I don't understand what you're talking about..?......wait.. Do you hear that?" Stitchez glazed up. "Sun?" Sun jumped from the huge rock and landed on Stitchez. "Stitchez!" X-ray called. He ran over and bit Suns torn cape, trying to drag him off. "ENOUGH" HeavyDirtSoul aporched. Stitchez laid on the ground before looking up at him. "ThIs HiM MaStEr?" Sun spoke in a weird demonic voice. "Ah!?" X-ray let go and backed up. "Yes, I will take him to the alpha" "WhAt aBoUt hIm?" Sun turned towards X-ray. "Kill him" "NOO!!!!" Stitchez screamed and shoved Sun off of him. HeavyDirtySoul quickly ran over and pushed him into the rock and held his jaw open over his neck. "Shh, it will be a quick death." "NO!!" Stitchez yelled back but he knew he could not do much. X-ray got up to fight for him but Sun ended the fight real quick, considering he was the quiet killer. Sun raised his paw over X-ray. "WAIT!" Stitchez yelled. Sun glazed over. "What?" HeavyDirtySoul growled moving his head high and placing his paw on Stitchez's neck. "I will go with you, and do as I'm told but you must let X-ray live peace" Sun lowered his paw and turned to HeavyDirtySoul. "Fine, we could use an obeying wolf for once," He growled as he banged Stitchez's head into the rock, knocking him out. HeavyDirtySoul turned to X-ray. "I'm a wolf of my word, besides you could be of use to me." He smirked.
