Chapter 15 : " Together We Are Stronger "
When everyone was eating Kalash was talking about how his sister found us.
"So yeah she was comeing to the area when i used to go at the nights back in the den but when she smelled rexes she knew we had to fall back, and good we did there was over 16 rexes there."
"Yes, and when i tryed to found your scent i found a rex that i think was doing the same think. So i killed it before it could call for help" added Darkee.
"Ah so you made that rex been disstressed heh" i spoked up swallowing the pice of meat.
"Yes i did" saied Darkee.
"Hard to not noticed you are siblings" i added.
"Indeed" saied Enna.
'I wonder if they alsaw share same habbits' i talked to myself as i continued to eat.
"So Sky can you tell me how you are here with this famil?" asked Darkee.
"Well its mostly thanks to Enna that she spared me and then brought me to the family den, but alsaw thanks to the fact that for some reason Kalash spered me as well like almost year ago before i even met Enna" i explained to which Kalash side-eyed me like if he wanted to say 'you made a grave mistake'.
"Ummm well thats ... interesting" sayed Darkee avoiding eye contact with her brother. I think i saied too much.
When we all fulfiled ouerself we went down to small clearing to lay down and relax a bit. I could not fully relax since i knew i mostlikely saied somethink i souldn't have.
Rest of the day was full of tension for me. I wasn't sure if that was another 'trick' Kalash and Darkee planed or if he realy wasn't happy about what his sister heard from me.
Unfortunately i didn't knew that my tensed body was so visible, and that got noticed by Darkee who had looked at me from the distance but now she slowly moved to me.
"Hey ... Sky" she saied to which i jumped from fear.
"AHH you scard me!" i yealped when i realise it was only her.
"Sorry did not meant to. I came here to ask you somethink." saied Darkee.
"What is it?" i asked confused and still shakeing a bit.
"Well i wanted to ask you about ypur family or pack or whatever you have been into because i bet you was not always a loner" she asked gently and she layed down somewhat close to me.
"I-i ... i had a family" i finaly spoke up as i was chokeing the words out since the memoris of the past came back again and i saw how my whole family was torn to pices by cursed rexes.
I could not stop the crys going down my face. I tryed my best to not show how painful it was for me.
"Its ok you are safe here" she reassured me.
"R-rexes had killed them all. I-i'm the only one left" i spoke up after i regain control over myself.
"Shhh its ok i see its painful for you, you don't have to tell me this. Me and Kalash know that feeling all too well. He know it even more then me since he thought i was gone as well. He was just like you. And i think thats why he spared you. He just saw himself in you. Helpless and alone ... maybe not in a same amount but still." she saied trying to comfort me.
"Thanks" thats all i could say while i was still whimpering.
She then stood up and walked back to Kalash. I layed there trying to put everythink together. I never suspected Kalash could have a painful past as well.
Time passed by ant it was almost evening. We started to get to where we sleep as Enna called me to her where Darkee and Kalash already layed.
"Yes what is it mom" i saied comeing closer unaware Kalash and Darkee were there as well.
"Aww so cute you call her mom" spoke up Darkee.
"Is Kalash your dad then ?" she asked mockingly.
"No!" me and Kalash nearly yeald at the same time.
"Hehe is see" she replied.
"Anyways Kalash wanted to talk to you" saied Enna.
"Tommorow we will go to look around the forest is serch of food and posible danger. Since we still dont know if area is safe we will go in groups. We know what is on the west north from here since we came from there. Me and my sister will go to the west, Baltier and Jaiden will go to the east while you, Orchid and Lynx will go up the hill to the south. Others already know about it. We will go tommorow after we finish what is left of food." explained Kalash to which i noded.
"Thats all unless you have a question" added Kalash.
"No i dont have any" i answered.
"Good now go to sleep" sayed Kalash as he and his sister moved a bit deeper into the woods to take a sleep.
"Mom could i saty here with you tonight?" i asked.
"Yes sure Sky i will jusy go get Maugrim and Roody here." she answered as she stood up.
I jusy layed down to wait for her no knowing that both Kalash and Darkee could see me.
When Enna got back with Roody and Maugrim we layed down to sleep. I of course took the spot under her jaw since it was how i was laying down under my mom when i was just a juvenile.I loved the warmth and her heart beat i was always felling asleep fast to this.
"They look so cute Together" wispered Darkee.
"Eh if you say so" replied Kalash.
"Look dont think i will look at you with less admire just because you spared him" saied Darkee nuzzleing her brother.
"Its not like this-"
"You think so huh? Look you maybe can fool yourself but not your own sister" she stoped Kalash.
He just did not respond to this as he layed his head in other diraction. Now not only was Enna suspecting somethink but alsaw his own sister knew exacly what he was hideing.
When sun show itself above horizon most of family woke up. Only Kalash, Darkee and Chaos were still sleeping as i just woke up.
I went to eat some food and then planned on waiting for rest to woke up as we were suposed tp go and look around the area. I was ready to go but we still were waiting for Kalash to wake up and give us some advice before we would start looking around.
Soon after we all ate Kalash and Darkee had woke up and walked to eat what was left and we started to move.
For most part of ouer walking up the hill me, Lynx and Orchid stayed silient. Behide the mountain was a large forest with small clearing from time to time. We walked down to search for any sign of predator or prey in the area, but we found nothink so we keep going deeper.
After houer or so we found somethink we did not wanted to find. Footprits of the predator, a big predator.
"Sis i think we should go back" i saied to Orchid as i started to back away.
"Shh i think i heard somethink" she wispered looking around. I backed away even more.
"Guys lets go back i beg you" i beged them.
Then out of nowhere somethink hit my left side and send me flying and hitting the tree.
"Shit!" saied Lynx as he turned to see adult rex who cut ouer way of escape.
"Not good" saied Orchid.
"There is other one behide us" she added when whe looked around.
"There is third one behide Sky!" saied Lynx.
"Oh no! Sky get up! Get up and run" yeald Orchid.
As i stood up and dodge the attack i runned to Orchid and Lynx.
"I told you to run away not to us!" yeald Orchid.
"I wont leave you behide. I cant lose anothr family" I saied as i stand in circle with Orchid and Lynx each of us faceing one rex.
"You will lose it anyway if you die" saied Lynx.
"At least i will die as a fighter not a coward" i respond roaring at the rexes with Orchid and Lynx afterwords.
We were ready to fight and die there. I knew i will see my mother again.
Rexes started the attack. I succeeded with hitting one of rexes head with my claws, Orchid as well as Lynx alsaw were puting a grate fight even if the rexes they fight with were bigger then the one i fight.
Unfortunately with time we started to lose a fight, but just when we were about to die we heard a frightening roar. The rexes stop the attack and looked in the direction of the roar.
'Thats it thats the chance to get this one' i talked to my self as i lunched at the youngest rex toping him over and biteing his neck.
When olders saw that they wated to help him but they got stoped by noone else then Enna, Kalash, Darkee and Baltier.
Whie they fight the younger rex kicked me of and i hit the giant rock and pass out.
"Sky! Sky wake up please!" i head feamale voices around me.
I fealt somethink pokeing my side.
"Ouch m-my head" i spoke up as i tryed my best to open my eyes but i bearly saw anythink because my eyesight was all blurry.
"Pfff you are alive" spoke up a female voice but i could not tell who was that since my somethink in mh head was peeping and i could bearly hear anythink beside it.
"W-where am i ?!" i asked scared and confused.
"In the forest we were before rexes attcked us" saied Orchid that i could finaly see cause my blurr starte to fade away.
"What happend ? Why am i laying here" i asked trying to calm myself and seeing three dead rexes on the ground.
"You were about to kill the rex but it kicked you off and you passed out after hitting your head" explained Lynx.
"Don't worry Kalash and Baltier are already looling around if there are other rexes" saied Enna.
"How long was i unconscious ?" i asked.
"Not long. After Enna started to licking you, started to regain consciousness" saied Darkee giggleing.
"Oh ... Thanks mom" i saied nuzzleing her cheek.
"Wow you look so cute" saied Darkee.
"He realy fit into this family" she added shortly after.
"We are back and there is nothink there. Those rexes were alone" saied Baltier walking up to us with Kalash.
"Good let move before it will get dark. Ad take those bodys we will at lest have food" saied Enna to which i try to stood up and fell down to the other side with a yealp.
"What the ?!" i asked confused.
"My legs are fine! Why cant i walk ?!" i added starting to panick.
"Shh ita ok your body is still in shock you will feel better soon" saied Enna as she lowered herself over me to pick me up.
I looked so tiny in her jaws, even if she was only three times bigger i wasn't a problem for her to be picked up.
"Lets go back" added Enna as we moved down hill to ouer new home.
Soon we arived and i got putted down on ground as Roody and Maugrim runned up from Haute who took care of her nephews.
"What happend ?" asked Haute when she saw us.
"Is Sky injured ?" she added.
"No i'm fine we just got attack by rexes. Good that They came in time we were about to die there" i explained.
"Rexes ? Again!?" asked Chaos surprised.
"They are dead. Wont be a truble anymore" sayed Kalash droping a body of a dead rex down.
Everyone in the den gone silient. They were amused but happy at the same time that they are safe at least for now.
"Ok thats it we can talk more tommorow" saied Enna.
"Its already night" she added as she layed down.
Soon after others prepared to sleep i was still surprised i'm still alive. I could not belive my luck, but those thoughts faded quickly as i fell asleep next to Enna.
