Sibling Rivalry
Celestial was lying in the cool nighttime meadows, Nick watching her just in case that fox came back. She sighed, it's been a while since she got to go out like this and just play. She used to go hunting with her parents before they died, always training to become an alert, stealthy ninja just like her ancestors. She stretched and yawned, it was time to go back and rest now. Just as Celestial was walking back, she felt cold metal touch her neck. Her blood went cold; she turned her head to find the black fox, giving her a vicious sneer. "Well, well, well, what have we here?" Zack whispered into her ear. "If it isn't the annoying white fox…you mind getting your cousin down from his post?" Zack suddenly felt a weight on his head as he was kicked several feet from his prey.
He turned around to find his younger brother, giving him a cold glare. "Well, hello there little bro' how's it going?" Zack asked in his cool tone of voice. "Long time no see, Zack." Nick replied with a little grin. "So, still angry over what happened to our aunts and uncles huh?" Zack muttered with a more serious tone. "Why are you doing this?" Nick asked. "Why are you killing our own family members?"
"Because…it's fun…"
"You're not the big brother I knew six years ago."
"Yeah, you're right…I'm much more deadly than I was six years ago."
And with that, Zack lunged for Nick, his younger brother and sibling, sword aiming for his neck. Nick blocked it with the fireblade, wincing from the pressure. "Celestial…go and get the others quick!" Nick cried, his brother's blade narrowly missing his head. "But…what about you Nick?" Celestial asked eyes wide with fear. "I can' just leave you…" "I said now!" Nick hollered. Celestial nodded and sprinted for the village.
Zack had an evil grin on his face, "Still the weak little brother I know from back then, eh?" Nick gave a low growl, Weak!? I'm…weak? Nick thought, rage surging through his body. He felt a sudden surge of pain go through his head. Don't get mad…don't get mad. Nick whispered to himself. Celestial quickly went to the door of Nick's friends, Jerry and Brutis. She slammed her fists on the door. Jerry came to the door, tired and dazed. "What is it?" Jerry asked. "What's going on?" "Nick…he's…he's fighting his older brother Zack!" Celestial cried. "You've got to help him now! I don't want to be left alone again in constant of Zack…" Celestial was getting more furious by the second, tears pouring from her eyes and matting the fur in her face. Jerry, startled by this, quickly woke up Brutis, who was sucking his thumb like a baby. When Brutis heard about the big fight going on between his best pal and his big brother, he quickly bolted out of bed. They quickly woke up Serena, Sly, Bentley, and Murray. "Nick's fighting his brother?!" Serena whispered furiously to Celestial. Celestial just nodded and wiped the tears from her eyes.
Nick quickly skidded on the ground, battered and bruised from his older brother. Blood was trickling down his nose and matting the fur of his muzzle. Zack gave a horrid smile. "Ah, I'll love to taste your blood Nick!" His eyes went pure white, his claws went longer and he slashed Nick's chest with blazing speeds. Nick choked, and spat up blood. He collapsed and clenched his wounded chest. "You're a monster, Zack…" Nick muttered under his breath. "Aw, that hurt little brother." Zack said in a sarcastic tone. He licked Nick's blood from around his mouth. "Like I said, you're still the weak, pathetic, brother I knew from way back. I don't know why our parents gave the fireblade to a stupid runt like you!" Nick's eyes went wide with fury and rage. "Shut up…" He whispered. "Why should I? If our parents didn't give birth to a pathetic excuse of a family member, I would have that blade right now." Zack said, with a darkened tone. "I said shut up…you asshole." Nick growled. The pain was coursing through his entire body now, he couldn't take anymore.
Everyone quickly came to see Zack dashing towards Nick, ready to serve the final blow. "Say good-bye to your pathetic life little brother!" Zack cried. Everything went silent, the blade came down, and Nick's heart was beating hard now, those words coursing through his head, weak…weak...weak…Nick grabbed the blade in his hand, Zack had a startled look on his face. Celestial and the others were staring in wide-eyed astonishment. Nick looked up to reveal his blood red eyes. His calm orange pupils had been replaced with deadly purple pupils. "I…am not…WEAK!" Nick roared. He gave a vicious slash at Zack's stomach, he gasped. Nick then plunged his demonic fangs into Zack's shoulder. He screamed in pain. "What's wrong with Nick?" Jerry asked. "I've never seen him so…vicious." Serena knew just what it was…
