Chapter 4

            I don't need to battle you! Mei-Hong shouted as she prepared a full attack on Shui.

            Mother, stop! Huo yelped, jumping in front of Shui.

            You are a disgrace child! Mei-Hong said.

            I am not a disgrace! Huo said.  I want to finish her.  I was going to, before.

            Well, hurry up, and do so! Mei-Hong said impatiently.

            I need to finish her off outside!  I work better under the sun! Huo yelled, dragging Shui outside.

            Come back here with my daughter! Shui-Bing cried running after them.

            NO!  You shall stay, and fight me! Mei-Hong leaped in front of Shui-Bing.

            At the edge of the cave, Huo and Shui stopped running.

            Aren't you going to finish me? Shui cried, tears ran down her cheeks.

            No, you are important to your father. Huo proclaimed.

            As you are important to your mother. Shui said.

            My mother doesn't love me!  She thinks I'm a stupid fool!  A 'disgrace.'

            If she thought that, wouldn't she have killed you by now? Shui countered.

            No, I'm the next leader.  After father died life never seemed to be the same.  His head dropped a little, and Shui wept for him.

            My mother died, because your kind killed her!  Why do your kind kill?  They don't need us.

            I'm sorry about my mother.  She's very stubborn.  She kills for pleasure, and since she hates Sneasels so much…

            I feel sorry for you. Shui said as she gently rubbed Huo cheek.

            HUO!!! came a loud yell.

            My mother!  Hide!  She would think you're dead! Huo said and pushed Shui into a dark corner of the cave behind some rocks.

            Huo, we're leaving! Mei-Hong called.  Sneasels are such jerks!  He got away!

            Huo turned towards the direction of Shui.  Hope to see you soon.  When we're leaders, we'll make peace between our kind.

            HUO!  NOW! Mei-Hong shouted louder.  Huo left the cave with his head held high, as if he had won a great victory.

            'Peace, 'Shui thought, 'we'll make peace.'

So, what do you think?  Don't worry Part 1 isn't over yet.  More to come.  Soon, I hope; time is kinda limited these days. (^.^)
