Nightmares and Comfort
It was night and the herd was happy that Victor, Carlotta, and Leo are gone. Everyone was resting peacefully throughout the night except for Toby who was suffering from the nightmares of Victor.
=Dream=
Toby was alone in the dark woods where no one is around.
"Hello? Anyone there?" Toby nervously said as he looks around the area.
"Aaah!" An agonizing voice said.
"Huh? Marcus?" He said as he runs towards the direction of the scream.
Toby reached the area where the scream was heard and had a horrified look at his brother on the ground dead.
"Foolish little brat! You deserved to die!" Victor said as he stares at the dead wolf.
"YOU MONSTER! HOW DARE YOU MURDER MY BROTHER!" Toby retorted as he charged at the wolf and bit his side.
Victor violently shook the wolf off of him and stood over him.
"Heh, you're pathetic…" Victor said as he raises his claw.
Tory slashed at Victor's right foreleg and it made him wince in pain.
"I'm gonna avenge Marcus if the last thing I do!" Toby said to the wolf.
"What's gotten into you Toby?" Victor said in Diego's tone.
"Diego?" The wolf said as he narrows his at the wolf.
"Wake up, Toby!" Victor with Diego's voice said as he walks over and shakes the wolf.
=Reality=
Back inside the cave, Diego was stilling shaking the young wolf.
"Toby, open your eyes, it's me Diego!" Diego shouted.
"Huh? Oh, Diego… I- *gasp* I'm sorry…" Toby said as he notices the wound he gave to Diego's right fore leg.
"It's OK, Toby." He said trying to reassure the wolf.
"No it's not! You say it's OK, but it isn't!" He said as he runs out of the cave crying.
"Toby! What's wrong…" The saber said sadly as he follows the wolf.
Toby reached the grave of his brother, Marcus and wept over it.
"It's my fault… It's my fault that Marcus died because of me!" Toby yelled at himself while he cries.
"No it isn't, Toby…" Diego said as appeared right behind him.
"But he… I miss him… I want him back!" He demanded while crying.
"I'm sorry… Your brother wanted me take care of you remember?" He reminded him as he hugs him.
"Diego… I…" He was cut off from the saber's reply.
"Listen, Marcus may be gone, but have us. We're family and I'll take his place to keep you safe, understand?" The saber comforted him.
"Yes… Diego… You're still my brother, right?" The wolf asked him.
"Yes, Toby… We're brothers til the end." He replied.
"Thank you, but…" He stopped half finished.
"But what?" He asked his little brother.
"Do you think Marcus is watching us?" He asked back.
"Yeah, he is and he's happy with your mother." He reassured him.
"Thanks Diego…" He said.
"No problem and let's back to the cave and get some sleep." The saber said.
"Yeah, I'm pretty tired right now." The wolf said as he walks back to the cave with Diego.
On top of the trees where the grave is below them, an older wolf ghost watches the saber and wolf leave the area.
"Thanks for taking of my brother, Diego. He's a lot happier with you than with me." Marcus' ghost said quietly.
"Marcus, time to go my son." Brenda's ghost said as she leaves.
"Coming mother…" He as follows his mother.
"Toby's life will be a lot happier with his new family she said to her ghostly son.
"Yes mother, he will have a great life…" He said as he looks back as follows his mother.
