Chapter 9: The rusted pistol

Siliva was curled up in pirate's cove. Archlight…Archlight is dead… Archlight is gone… she thought to herself. Siliva dried her long spilled tears as she sat up, her hands buried in her face. She felt a knock on her door and Vixy walked in. "Your brother is worried about you, Siliva. You know you can't stay here forever, she's dead. You need to move on." The white vixen said softly. Siliva felt her hands clench into fists as she began to cry again. "No, Vixen. You don't know. My best friend is dead now!" Siliva said sadly as tears spilled onto her clenched fists.

"I know. Bonna died too." Vixy said softly. But Siliva felt her anger hit a boiling point. "NO! BONNA DIED A HERO'S DEATH! SHE DIED PROTECTING HER BROTHER! SHE DID IT TO SHOW THEM SHE CARED! ARCHLIGHT WOULD BE HERE STILL IF BANE HADN'T KEENED!" she screamed, tears pouring down her face. Vixy looked in shock. "H-h-how do you know so much?" she asked. Siliva lowered her voice and said softly "Pack bonds… pack bonds are an eternal binding between a group or two creatures of ultimate trust. I-I made a pack bond with Archlight, and she had one with Bane, I think… they alert the other if someone from the bond is hurt, sick, dying or dead. I-I-I-I cannot describe the pain of the bond being severed. I felt like part of me was ripped away… it's a horrible feeling as you hear their finale screams and thoughts…" Siliva murmured as she stared at a wall. "Im sorry…" Vixy said softly. Siliva shook her head, still in a trance. Vixy looked to her and said softly "I'll let you be now…" as she left.

Siliva felt oil run down her muzzle as she walked toward a case, she opened it up to reveal a small box with a four letter combination on it. She cried as she entered in the code 1-9-8-7, a click was heard as she revealed a safe. She entered the name F-o-x-y in it and it opened to reveal a rusted pistol with a small box containing a single bullet. Siliva walked to the door and locked it. She felt nervous to hold the weapon, it had been 32 years since she had fired it, and the countless lives she had stolen with it. Memories flooded her as she held the pistol up to her head…

The sound of gunfire was close by as Siliva and Archlight hid in a dead tree, Siliva was breathing hard as Archlight told her the plan "you'll distract them and I will shoot them down. Ambush them." The wolf said. "Got it." Siliva replied as they leapt into the fray…

"A-Archlight…" Siliva whispered as she fell to the ground. Archlight ran to her and started murmuring words that Siliva could not understand. "Siliva!" yelled Bane as he ran to her. "Siliva…Siliva…im sorry…" Bane said as she shut off, oil staining the trio's suits.

Siliva felt a cold glare from Baby as she defied her wishes. "Enough you stupid fox! You and your wolf friends will die now!" she said. Siliva felt cold hands drag her down into that hatch that led to where she was locked away…

Siliva felt her hands on the now warm trigger. She felt scared now as her fingers drifted away from the trigger.She felt her sorrow weigh down on her heart, she repositioned the gun and took a breath. Her finger curled on the trigger.

Bang.

Siliva paused. Foxy's voice was heard from the other side, "Siliva, lass. I know ye be upset. Can ye let yer brother in?" the pirate said. Siliva tried to keep her composure as she said shakily "o-ok…j-j-just a few minutes Foxy… c-can I have a bit of time alone?" she trembled. Foxy growled under his breath and replied "aye lass… but I want ter be with ye now, im coming in…" he said firmly.

Siliva backed away as she heard the doorknob rattle. "Siliva? Now is not the time to play with me sister…" he said.

Bang.

"Siliva? Let me in." Foxy said.

Bang.

Siliva realized she had not loaded the gun and used her trembling hands to load it.

Bang, Bang, Bang.

"Siliva! Let me in. now!" foxy said angrily as he pounded on her door.

Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang.

The door creaked and flew off its hinges. Bonna, Vixy, Foxetta and Foxy were standing there as Siliva calmly put the now loaded gun to her head. "SILIVA!" foxy yelled as he ran at her. Siliva dodged and said softly "I-im sorry… the Bond is hurting me too much Foxy, physically and mentally… I can still hear her screams as Nixus killed her… Forgive me…" she said as she pulled the trigger.

The world went black…

~elsewhere~

Bane felt oil run down him as he fled to the forest. He held Archlight's body in his arms, shielding her as he ran. After what felt like ages, he walked up a slope, leading to a lit up parking lot. Looking in a window, Freddy, Bonnie and Chica were performing. He had no choice as he walked into the place.

The Manager looked in shock. He saw a dark wolf holding the lifeless body of Archlight. He had known something happened but from the looks of it. She was clearly dead. "Where is Siliva, Wesley and Bonna?" the wolf demanded. Everyone froze as two bots ran in the room. "Where is Siliva?!" he snarled.

Suddenly, Bonna started to cry as Wesley looked in shock as Foxy walked in, a look of terrible grief on his face. Bane felt his heart tear apart at what the fox said next. "You won't find Siliva anywhere. She's dead…" the red Fox said, his yellow eyes full of tears, his voice was empty.
