Morning had broke out, I opened my eyes to see the bright light. My body felt weak, was it because of the attack.. or because of my greiving for my father? I had to get up, and when I did.. I noticed that the rock I had flown into was covered in dried-up blood. My head hurt, but I could think normally. I am thankful for that.
I looked down below from the cliff I was standing on, my wolf pack were still crying over their family and friends. I couldn't blame them. Thousands of lifeless bodies from the wolves of the pack, the black wolves and timber wolves, were laying on the ground. Never had I ever seen such a sight of blood and corspes. It was almost too unbearable to look at it. I looked back to where the boulder was, my father under it. Several of the wolves were trying to push the boulder off of Roberto. The last two siblings of mine were helping them.
My brother's name is Scarlet, for his golden pigment colour was a very dark red. He looks a bit like my father except his head, legs and tail were white. He is the oldest of my brothers and sisters. My sister named Jewel was completely white, but had a very stylish line that run from the top of her head to the tip of her tail. The rest of my siblings were killed in the tragic battle, they had odd colouring of orange and white too. Mother said she was an artic wolf, but my father had no idea what breed he was.
I heard grunting of cooperation of pushing, it snapped me out of my thoughts. The wolves were finally pushing the boulder off of my father. And when they did, I was shocked at
the resulting sight. My face grew disgusted, my father... was the only one who had a corpse that was the most horrid-looking. His blood and insides that were all squished smelt worse too. Quickly the others had to take his body away, to find a good place to put him in peace. I could tell they didn't liked it either.
I walked down the cliff, slowly with depression. I saw my friends, they were all alive. I was grateful as I wandered toward them. I passed alot of the remaining wolves, and my mother.. who was resting. She was very injured and sick. I felt like crying, but I didn't wanted to show my tears. Instead I looked forlornly at my mother and the others, espically the weak, sick and dead.
Jingle was the first to notice me. "Hello..." he calmly said. His voice didn't have much of doubt, but his eyes could tell me everything as he looked sorrowfully at the very few last pups. There was only three, and before there was twelve pups. Oxnard, Maxwell, Pashmina, Penelope and Snoozer greeted me. We kept quiet for awhile as we sat down, doing nothing at all.
I looked down toward the ground, the grass was trampled and still wet from blood and tears. It would take a long time for the dead grass to regrow. I turned my head around me, crumbled rocks was everywhere. Crystal Haven looked of in ruins, it didn't even look like it would return to it's former glory. Would our wolf clan have to go on the run for a new place to call home? Possibly. But it will be hard to leave since many of the wolves were born and raised here. Their first home. I laid down to the ground and closed my eyes in thought. The ground was as uncomfortable as it looked, it felt of my one speical place where I usually went to eat. Except it was everywhere and I couldn't escape from it, unless I left Crystal Haven. Then I difted off to slumber.
During my silent rest, I had a dream.
I dashed about the empty blackness, there was no beginning nor end. I rushed off here and there, I came to a sudden stop. I huffed and puffed, gasping for air as I franticly looked around my surrondings. But nothing was there, yet my ear ringed on with horrifling sounds of battle and killing. It sounded just like the fight yesterday.
Outside of my dream, I grunted. My friends heard me from afar. They knew I was having a dream... a dream that a pup would call a... darkdream. They watched almost as
they knew the fear I was having. My dream countiued on wihthout a stop.
I sprung into action again and ran west, yet the sounds of battle never did quiet down. Instead the sounds became louder and louder, I shook my head side to side looking
for an exit. This caused my eyesight to become burly, mixed in with the howling andy yelping of death. I couldn't bear it anymore as I let my weak legs drop me to the ground. I shut my eyes tighter as I swelled up in tears.
"...Taro?" Oxnard worridly asked me, he saw my eyes shut tighter then before. Penelope ran up to my face and saw the water dripping down from my muzzle. "He's... crying?" she timidly asked. The others caught up to her and saw that she was right. My body was reacting my dream, all on it's own. And I couldn't stop at all.
"...Why..." I weakly said to myself. I opened one eye, and the worst part that I feared was there. I saw Boss wrestling with my father, my darkdream was reacting the entire fight. The only difference was when Boss did the finishing blow to him by chomping brutely on his neck. I heard a large cracking sound and my father fell to the ground dead. "No.. not again... why in this dream..." I wailed. Boss looked up and saw me. He took one step and another. He kept on coming closer to me without any
stop.
Oxnard, Pashmina, Penelope, Jingle and Maxwell looked at eachother with caution. They heard me mumbling what I said during my frighting dream. Oxnard placed a paw on my backside and started to shake me left and right gently. "Taro... wake up.. please..." he asked me, as if I could hear him. But my ears was blinded by sudden deaf. I couldn't hear a thing in the outside world. A few of the other wolves saw what was happening and walked up to my friend's side. They started to watch me closely.
I locked my eyes on Boss' face. I heavly breathed in and out, was he going to do something far worse? Boss closed his eyes and chuckled. "You show alot of fear in your
face. A true wolfblood-born would never act like that. Get up fool." I stayed quite and still as the empty grounds below me. "Very well, you shall die as the under dog you ARE!" He beared his large fangs and pounced toward me.
My eyes shot wide open, I made a sudden gasp. I looked around, I was back. It was all a dream. I calmed down a little, then I finally noticed everyone crowding around me with confused and startled looks. "Taro are you alright?" Penelope chirped. I weakly stepped up and reasurred her. "I am fine now." I said. "My guess is that you had a darkdream." Pashmina added. "Yes." I replied. "It reacted the fighting... for the most part."
I completely settled down now and sat back down with my head high up to the sky. Then I realized something. My darkdream, did it have... a meaningful message? I looked back to my pack, I saw everything that I saw before. It didn't change, and it looked like it will never change. Seeing all this blood and tears swelled up sorrowness
in my body and soul. Then another shreiking image crossed my mind, what if Boss and his pack attacked again or other wolf packs out there? Boss is blood-thristy, and has to be stopped. I figured out the message my dream had.
I scrambled up the cliff and stood in front of everyone. "I have an annoucement!" I barked, as if my father would. Everyone turned their attention toward me. I breathed in deeply to settle myself down. "Boss had indeed betrayed us all yesterday night. My most recent darkdream had gave me a horrifing dream. We must all be prepared if Boss decides to attack, he may also attack other wolf packs aswell. So I will avenge the deaths of my father and friends by searching for his whereabouts. Me and a few others shall travel and attack him. We may day during our journey, or at the end. But we shall not give up."
Everyone shouted and nodded their agreement. "I leave Tigerscar in charge while I am gone. Please volunteer if you wish to travel with me."
Alot of the wolves started to discuss to see who goes and stays. Taro heard alot of wolves choosing to stay. Suddenly Oxnard jumped up and ran up the cliff, choosing to stand beside Hamtaro. Atlast he reached the top, panting and said. "Taro is my best friend, where he goes I will go. Roberto was also a good friend of mine." Then Maxwell, Pashmina, Penelope, Snoozer, Jingle, Scarlet and Tara came up too. They all declared. "We agree! And we shall go with our best friend Taro!"
