Luna's POV
I hear a rustling in the bushes, causing me to wake from my sleep. My ears perk up as I strain for further detail on whom or what made the sound. I nudge Lupis awake. "Lupis wake up" I whisper struggling to hold in my fear as a hear a twig snap.
"What" he asks groggily, his eyes only half open.
"I hear something in the bushes" I say, failing to hold my fear in.
"Luna, this is silly. It's probably-" he yawns in the middle of his sentance, "-a raccoon or something, now go back to sleep." He huffs laying his head down again.
I hear a faint whisper. I can not make out any words or specific voices as it murmurs behind a clump of trees, but I stand and call out, "Midnight, if th-thaats you it's n-noott f-funny" I sit for a while expecting giggles or confession. After a while I lay down and drift off, still hearing crunching from the brush still thinking it was a stubborn Midnight.
Something tickles my whiskers so I open my eyes with a start. I come face to face with Rune wearing a cruel smirk. I scream tipping backwards.
"LUPIS RUN!" I scream at the top of my lungs trying to find my paws. He jolts awake, and stands facing Rune, terror in his eyes, frozen solid except for his trembling legs. I watch Rune open his mouth to strike Lupis and time slows down. I lunge forward and take the blow on my side before flying onto the grass. I struggle to breathe and blood pours from my wound, after fighting it for a short while I black out.
I wake up, my side burns and I hobble to my paws unsteadily for a moment before tumbling down. I rise again this time holding my stand, but just barely. I look around scanning my surroundings. I see a dark grey figure on the other end of the field. I hobble over to him my side aching.
"Lupis?" I whisper to him, sitting down beside him. I wait a moment for a response before nudging his side. Tears well up in my eyes burning my cheeks as the gently roll down small slopes "Rune" I whisper growling and crying at the same time. "RUNE!" I scream into the air.
Lupis' POV
I wake to Luna nudging me. "Lupis wake up" she whispers.
"What?" I ask still groggy from deep sleep.
"I hear something in the bushes" she says looking nervously around.
Somewhat annoyed, I said, "Luna, this is silly. It's probably-" I yawn, interrupting my sentance, "-a raccoon or something. Now go back to sleep." I drift off back to sleep.
I hear an ear splitting scream "LUPIS RUN!"
In a dazed state I stand and open my eyes. I freeze, every hair on my body stands dead on end, instinct screams at me to run. I feel my heart beat through my chest. I am paralyzed I can't even move as Rune opens his mouth to grab my throat and murder me.
I see a flash before my eyes, and before I even know what happened as I watch Luna slide on the snow in front of me, blood staining her side.
"Luna!" I scream rage piercing my heart. Tears streak down my face as I turn to face Rune, teeth bared anger surging through my every vein in my body. I lunge raking my claws across his broad muscular back, but I feel my leg catch in his mouth as he slams me down in the snow. My conscious fades before me as I black out.
