artisticgurl-I'm sorry this is another long update! I said I'd do better and I didn't *Cries* I still need to update my other story as well! At least it's the summer holidays now! WOOOOOOOO! Remember, no matter how emotional things get, I do the killing! But if you have any ideas for the death of Charon, it's welcome but only if it's painful and dramatic! MWAHAHAHAHA!
(Zosla's P.O.V)
With every moment that passed, the pain only grew worse. But what did it matter? Rebel was alive. When Charon had attacked me instead of Rebel, I thought I had heard cries escaping Rebel. Not cries of pain though, it was a cry of love, anger and sorrow somehow mixed into one. I laid almost lifeless on the suddenly death cold ice. For a brief moment, Charon didn't seem to know what to do. After gaining his wits, he decided to use what had just happened to tease Rebel.
"I told you your girlfriend would try and play the hero." Charon's voice snarled. I suddenly felt very tried but I thought the urge to sleep for if I did, then death would take me as its own.
"Zosla? Zosla?!" Rebel's voice seemed miles away even though he was right in front of me, nuzzling my face. "You stupid girl Zosla. Why? You shouldn't of done that! Oh Zosla, why?" By this point, heavy tears were rolling down from Rebel's eyes.
"I'm... I'm fine." I managed a weak smile. "Just go. Save your self." As Rebel leaned over me, everything around us seemed to disappear.
"No! Why did you have to save me? You should of let me die if it meant you could live."
"Rebel, I'm as good as dead now... just go."
Suddenly, Rebel's words were a blur. I couldn't hear a word he said even though he was so close now. I wasn't even looking at Rebel as he nuzzled me again. My eyes were focused past him, on Charon. He was leaning in closer to Rebel and I realized what he was going to do. Death was at the doorstep.
"NO!" With a sudden burst of strength, I pounced onto Charon. We wrestled pointlessly for some minutes before he had me pinned down. I knew I couldn't beat him but I had to try. For Rebel.
"Stop playing hero, in this story there isn't one." Charon spit in my face. Unable to do anything else, I just sat tight and listened to his harsh words. "I'm the villain that going to win in this story. Too many stories have a happily ever after but not this time."
"Why? Why are you doing this?" I cried out.
"Revenge. Soto was like a brother to me. Now he's dead because of your family." Charon must have seen the confused look on my face because he dug into his story deeper. "Soto decided it would be best if we parted ways for the season just so we could get our lives back on track after an... indecent." Charon paused, as if thinking of old memories. "My mate, Lucy-Anne, wanted a family so we had Misty. The traitor she turned out to be." Charon scoffed before continuing. "They went out and got lost one day. It was about 7 years before Misty returned but it was only a 2 months before Lucy-Anne returned. She really got on my nerves, wanting to have another pup. When he arrived, I could tell he's be a failure.
"Lucy-Anne named him Aberthol, meaning 'sacrifice'. She knew I wanted him dead because of the shame he'd put on my good name. She mostly named him Aberthol because of the sacrifice she would have to give for him to live. She gave her life for the failure." Everyone was listening now, especially Rebel and Misty. I glanced over at Rebel but I couldn't see him well since Charon still had me pinned down. "When I tried to kill Aberthol the first time, she had stopped me but the second time I planned not to let that happen again. The second time never came. My mate had ran away with the failure, leaving everything she had behind. Aberthol had escaped death but Lucy-Anne didn't. I hunted her down, killed her brutally and when Misty returned I told her some fluff that her mother died by darkness. Misty actually believed me." Charon laughed harshly before a trace of sadness and anger found it's way into his eyes. "When I found out that Soto had died, I took over his pack and vowed to get revenge."
No one said anything for a moment after Charon had finished his tale. The storm had seemed to vanish, leaving blue skies ahead but the wind was still heavy. Rebel - or Aberthol now? - had tears in his eyes but they were soon blinked back when I gave out a sudden growl at Charon.
"It wasn't some fluff you told Misty. Her mother did die by darkness because you are the darkest and evilest creature I have ever met. You deserve to die." I snapped at Charon's paw, making his yell out in pain. Misty bit at her farther's body, making blood poor down onto the ice. I backed away as Rebel- no, Aberthol - joined in the fight. I was panting desperately, still very weak.
Against just Misty or just Reb-Aberthol, Charon could beat them easily but facing both of the siblings together, he was as good as dead. Everyone backed away to the edge of the ice burg so that Misty and Aberthol had more room to fight. The thunder roared in tune with the screams of the 3 wolves. Screams of anger, pain and death.
Charon was dead.
Aberthol backed away from his dead farther while Misty stayed close by him. She roughly clawed at his face one last time to make sure he was dead. And he was. I expected to see tears in Misty's eyes but there was only anger. I had almost forgotten that Misty was a warrior; a brave and fearless warrior. She circled the dead wolf, her steps muffled by the howling wind.
"I regret nothing." Misty hissed as if Charon's spirit could still hear her.
Aberthol joined his sister's side and winced at all the blood. He wasn't ever one for blood. I suddenly thought back to Brandi and the days where we would roam the island, playing our imaginary games. Even though she was a coward, Brandi had a good imagination and could always make the dullest of things come alive. All of those good memories were gone now. I wasn't so innocent and pure after my quest, my quest for my family. I had seen blood, death and much more. My thoughts and the silence were soon broken when Charlie began to talk.
"So, do I call you Rebel or Aberthol?" Typical Charlie always trying to bring out the best of the worst.
"Um, Aberthol I guess. It has a nice ring to it, Rebel was never the best of names. But it was, uh, unique?" Aberthol grinned up at Charlie.
"I was only 6 when I found you, at least I didn't call you chuckles or fluffy." Everyone laughed at this, even Aberthol seemed to have cheered up a lot. 'Seemed' being the key word there; I knew better.
"Uh, the body... what do we do with... it?" Onami asked aloud, reading most our minds.
"Throw it over board?" Mother suggested.
"Tear it into tiny pieces?" Misty said eagerly.
"Leave it to rot." Aberthol muttered.
"EWWWWW!"
"Just brainstorming..." Aberthol shrugged.
"Let's do a vote. All in favor of leaving it to rot, say 'EWW!'" Onami grinned. Everyone stayed silent. " All in favor of tearing it to tiny pieces, say 'YESSS!'"
"YESSS!"
All eyes turned to Misty.
"Well why not?" Misty asked innocently. Aberthol rolled his eyes and Misty pulled a face at him before they were both grinning at each other.
"All in favor of throwing it over board, say 'OK!'" Everyone (but Misty) agreed to this and anyone passing by on another ice burg would probably have wondered if we were some sort of mentally ill group of bandits that enjoyed the presence of the dead rather than the living.
After a little bit of arguing, it was decided that Misty would push the body into the ocean. The young warrior did this task very happily and after she even went up to Onami and started to talk to him. After the body was 'disposed', everyone just started to chatter and keep look out for land. When the sun began to set, I had a idea.
"Let's sing!" I called out happily to everyone.
"Um, sing?" Misty's expression was priceless.
"I know just the song! Did Diego teach you 'We are family'?" Mother grinned.
"Yes! Okay everyone, just join in!"
"We are, we are
Not your ordinary fami-mily
But we can all agree that
We are, we are
Close as close can be" I started.
"So it don't matter what it looks like
We look perfect to me
We got every kind of lover
We're so lucky indeed
They can keep on talking
It don't matter to me cause
We are, we are family" Mother sung perfectly.
"We are are are are
We are are are are
We are are are are
We are, we are family, family, family
We are, we are family"Onami sung happily.
"So what?
We don't look, we don't act
We don't walk, we don't talk
Like you do
So what?
If we hang just a hang and no shame
We both do what we want to" Misty sung, her voice surprising us all. Who knew she'd be so good at singing?
"Cause we come from everywhere
Searching for ones to care
Somehow we found it here
We found us a home" Charlie danced around, his trunk waving crazily in the air as he sang.
"We are, we are
Not your ordinary fami-mily
But we can all agree that
We are, we are
Close as close can be" Everyone sung together.
"So it don't matter what it looks like
We look perfect to me
We got every kind of lover
We're so lucky indeed
They can keep on talking
It don't matter to me cause
We are, we are family" This time Misty and Onami sung Mother's verse together.
"Ok, so the links in our chains makes us strange
But really they make us stronger
And no one would replace not a thing
Sister or Brother
Cause we..." Aberthol and Misty laughed as they sung together, changing the words 'Mother' and 'Farther'.
"Cause we come from everywhere
Searching for ones to care
Somehow we found it here
We found us a home"Mother, Charlie and Aberthol all sung.
"We are, we are
Not your ordinary fami-mily
But we can all agree that
We are, we are
Close as close can be" Everyone chorused together.
"So it don't matter what it looks like
We look perfect to me
We got every kind of lover
We're so lucky indeed
They can keep on talking
It don't matter to me cause
We are, we are family"Me and Aberthol sung together through my blushes.
"We are, we are family!"
Phew, it was actually quite hard to get the lyrics right because a lot of the websites I looked weren't the same so in the end I just made a wild guess. I tried to match each character to a verse(s) that suited them best but you can tell me what you think in the reviews. I hope none of you mind that I didn't detail Charon's death. It made me sick just imagining it (bloody injuries freak me out...)
