"Hello, Love-birds..." A voice snarled. I quickly turned around, to see alpha standing behind Falme and I.

"What do you want?!" Flame snapped, whirling around to face alpha. Alpha chuckled, and shook his head.

"Simple, I want Misty dead. She doesn't belong in this world, Flame. You shouldn't trust a winged wolf."

alpha growled. Flame shook his head. "Your wrong, alpha. Misty belongs here just as much as we do." I

stood by Flame's side, my head resting against his body. Alpha snarled, and started circling Flame and I.

He was followed by some other wolves of sunset pack. "Well, I guess you'll go down with her..." Alpha

smirked. Flame stood in front of me, my body pressed up against his. The group of snarling wolves

blocked out any way for us to escape. "You can kill me, but you can NOT touch Misty!" Flame snapped at

alpha. Alpha pushed Flame back, and nodded to his pack. "Sunset pack, ATTACK!" In a whirlwind

of fur and fangs, everyone leapt at us. Flame swiped his paw at a black wolf, knocking him away.

I growled, biting some wolf's leg. We all scrambled around, biting, kicking swiping our paws.

Sunset pack piled on top of us, but all I could see was fur and blood. I felt pain in different parts of my

body at some points, but I ignored it. I bit into a gray wolf's side, and knocked a black wolf off

Flame. The fierce battle went on for awhile, before alpha joined us. I felt paws pressing down in my chest,

and saw alpha pinning me down. I growled and shoved him off, getting a glimpse of the Flame being

pushed towards the edge of the rock over-hang. I snarled, my wings folded against my sides.

"STOP! NO!" I snapped, watching Flame get closer and closer to the edge.

Mixed emotions swirled around in my mind, as I bit and battled like I'd never battled before.

Flame looked down, his eyes filled with fear. I tore through the pile of wolves, blood on my muzzle.

Time seemed to suddenly stop. Flame stared at me, covered in blood. "Alpha! Stop this!" He snapped.

Everyone stopped. "And why should I stop?" Alpha snarled. Flame sighed and looked away.

"I have a deal for you..." Flame mumbled. "A deal? What deal?" Alpha asked.

"Listen..." Flame said, a sad look in his eyes.

"I love Misty, and I wish for her to live..." I felt like I was blushing and crying at the same time.

Alpha growled and gave Flame a wound on his face. "But wait!" Flame cried out.

"You... You may push me off this cliff... As long as you let Misty live in peace. Let her live across the

valley, let her have her own territory... That's all I wish for." Flame almost choked on his words.

I felt a huge lump in my throat.

My eyes started to tear up, and I felt like my heart had just been teared out.

"FLAME NO!" The words poured out of my mouth.

"I'm sorry Misty... Please..." Flame muttered. I cried out.

"NO! FIRST MY MOM AND NOW YOU? DON'T SACRIFICE YORUSELF!" I was in tears.

Flame shook his head. "As you wish, FLAME..." Alpha spat the word 'Flame' like it was poison.

Tears streamed down my cheeks, and flame gave me a last minute kiss.

"I love you, flame..." I sniffled. "I love you too..." Flame sighed.

Alpha chuckled. "Misty, GO!" I whimpered and slunk away.

Flame looked away. I couldn't bare to look. I heard Flame whimper and looked back.

I saw alpha chuckling. Flame wasn't on the ledge anymore. More tears rolled down my face.

"Flame... He's gone..."
