Chapter 10

            Farla, this detail stuff is very hard.  I've gotten 70s on essays, because I lacked detail.  Do you know how that makes me feel?  I'm not going to write 5 whole pages, but I might as well try…

            Mei-Hong peered at her son every night after she was sure he was asleep.  She never meant any harm to him, just wanted him to be the best leader.  The only harm she ever meant was the harm that was done to her.

            Huo had some connections with the Sneasel leader's daughter, but she didn't know what.  She was breed to be the perfect leader.  She had the speed and claws of her mother, and the cleverness of her father.  Mei-Hong had been watching the Sneasel for as long as she could remember.  She enjoyed to watch their every move, that way she would know how to destroy them. 

Huo was weak.  He was not like Shui-Bing's daughter.  He was nothing like what she had planned him to be.  Sometimes, she wondered what Huo's blood tasted like.  She had tasted Houndoom blood before, but would his blood be like theirs?  He was, after all, apart of them.

All her life Mei-Hong longed for power, but when she got it she hated it.

She was tired, and decided to go to sleep with the rest.  She didn't like sleeping; her same nightmare came to her.  It was familiar.  She was behind some trees watching the Houndoom couple and their son.  A happy couple they looked, laughing together, while their son leaped in front of them happily.

Her breathing was heavy.  The male suddenly stopped in his tracks.  Mei-Hong knew what was going to happen, and she tried to turn away.

Mei-Hong woke up with a joint.

Mei?  Good you're awake. one of Mei-Hong's servant girls said.

What's the matter?  Why'd you wake me? Mei-Hong shouted in rage.  She didn't like to be woken up, but was secretly glad.  The nightmare…

Sorry, Mei.  Your son was wailing, and he cried for you.

Mei-Hong knew that Huo wasn't wailing.  He never did.  She knew that he didn't call for her either.  Huo solved his own problems.  She knew, yet accepted this answer.  She was the one that was wailing, and calling for something.  Well, don't come get me when I'm sleeping!  You can help him!  I'm just here to train him to be a suitable leader!

Of course, she gave a little bow of the head and left.

Mei-Hong went back to sleep.  The nightmare picked up again.  The male was becoming dizzy and fell.  The female saw and ran to his side.  She saw that his eyes were eyes of the insane.

The poison…. she said.

He began to attack her.  Wildly.  Hoping for a bite in the neck perhaps.

At this moment, Mei-Hong ran out from behind the trees.  The son seemed to be lying down.

The poison must affect younger ones differently….

The next thing she knew she was covered in blood.

MOM!!! the pup shouted.

MOM!!! Huo shouted again.

Mei-Hong opened her eyes.  What do you want, fool?

You just were late for breakfast.  You're never late.

So, are you saying I can't be late?

Yes.  That's what I'm saying.

Mei-Hong was annoyed, yet glad.  Huo stood up to himself when he was in the mood for a good fight.  Alright, then.  I'm up.

Mom, you have blood on you?  Are you alright?

The nightmare must have affected her body, not just the mind.  She wiped the blood from her nose.  I'm in the mood to go kill some Sneasel.

Again?  Perhaps, we should give them a break…?

We don't give our enemies breaks! she shouted.  She also wanted to say, are you friends was the Sneasel?  Why are you always to nice to them?  If you are I'll kill you too.

I guess I better not be yours. Huo muttered.

'You already are.' she thought.

Farla are you happy?  Was that long enough for you?  It was longer than usual.
