One rather dreary day, they both had slept well into the day, and
when they woke, a pack of fierce looking lupes stood in a circle around
them.
"What?" said Flame groggily and as he stood up, he saw the one face he never wanted or hoped to see again.
Lana looked into the direction Flame was staring and her jaw dropped.
"Dad?? What are you doing here?" she asked, a mixture of shock and fear showing in her voice, anger in her eyes.
"Saving you, my dear." He said carelessly, his eyes still fixed on Flame. "I told you to stay away from her!" he growled at Flame, "She does not need you. She never did. So leave. Now."
"Stop trying to run my life father! I love him and that's all I need. Not your over protectiveness and your stupid high ranking pack! Let us be!" Lana said defensively, her dark eyes filled with flames of fury.
"Stay out of this, girl," he told her simply, as he pushed her aside. "And as for you, dear Flame, leave my daughter now. And never try to find her again and your life will be spared."
"No."
The word echoed through the clearing, a look of shock on every lupe's face.
And her father lunged, taking Flame by surprise. Flame wasn't an extremely large or rugged lupe, and his opponent was. Lana rushed in to try and stop the fight, but she was held back by her pack members. She watched in horror as her father took the only one she had ever truly loved's life. It was over quickly, and Lana soon broke through the ranks of lupes to run to Flame's side as he took his final breaths.
"Flame, it's okay, it's okay," she said in a panic, "No, no, no, don't die, don't die, Flame, I love you..."
"Shh..." he whispered with pain, "It's okay, Lana, calm down...I'll – I'll be fine...I'll always love you Lana. Always..."
And he died.
Right there in her paws. Tears spilt down her maw as she looked up at her father. He was emotionless as he looked at the scene before him.
"Leave him Lana," said her mother gently.
"No." That was the last thing she said for a long time.
"What?" said Flame groggily and as he stood up, he saw the one face he never wanted or hoped to see again.
