Chapter 2
I wake to the sound of claws scraping the ground.
My eyes flutter open and I squint as the sunlight catches my eyes.
Standing before me is Reed. One of my best friends in Ravensoul. Her recently groomed fur was glistening.
"Ugh." I moan as I get up
Reed notices me and stops scraping her claws.
"Oh sorry! Did I wake you?" She wore an apologetic smile on her face
I yawn and began to groom my gray fur.
"It's okay. Its morning anyways. As long as I'm awake, I might as well eat something. Want to come hunting? If Foxtrot shows up, I'll beat them until their nothing but bones." I grin wildly as I stop grooming my fur
Reed smiles back and walks over to the dumpster in the corner of our lot. She disappears behind the dark shadow cast onto the ground.
The dumpster is where Shade sleeps. Since he is at the highest rank, he gets the best spot. It is well sheltered from rain, wind and is cold when its hot outside.
After a few moments, Reed appears again. Her face was brightly lit with a smile.
"Shade says we can only go out until we get three or four catches. He wants you to save your strength for beating up Wolfspirit tonight."
I nod my head and we walk towards the entrance to our lot.
Shade's Point of view
As Reed leaves my sight, a splitting headache forces me to the ground.
I lie there not moving.
Images flash before my mind. Screeches and yowls burst into my ears, yet I do not move.
I open my eyes to see a forest. Trees with lush green leaves are all around me. I look down at my paws. I expect to see my black paws but no. I see gray paws. I whip my head around to a sharp, ear-splitting noise. I have never heard that sound before. My instincts take over and I run into the trees.
I can feel a presence behind me. Slow, lumbering steps send vibrations through my pads. I keep running.
I stop as I feel claws pierce my back. I fall to the ground but I cannot bring myself to look back at my enemy.
I can feel my fur ripping from my body. Teeth began to sink into my leg and I let out a pitiful scream. I yowl for help but no one comes.
I feel claws griping my neck and sharp teeth sinking into my throat.
I cough but only blood comes out. I can feel my enemy releasing their grip and backing away. I cannot feel a presence anymore. They have left me.
A pool of blood opens before me and I feel weak. I can see my life force ebbing away, piece by piece.
My head falls slowly towards the ground and all I hear is a cold echo of laughter.
A dogs bark brings me back to the present.
I know it is over but I still cannot control the constant blackouts. Ever since a few seasons ago, I keep getting glimpses of the future. This time was by far the worst. I actually felt pain this time. The other times only let me observe, but this time, I felt what was happening. Every time, I try to prevent it but it never works. That's what killed my sister. I tried to stop it but I was simply not enough. That's why I'm called Shade, to remind me that I will never be free from depression.
I get up slowly and walk to the front on the dumpster.
Who's paws were those? Who's eyes were I looking through? Who was chasing me?
Questions swarm my head as I walk out of our alleyway.
Hopefully things will clear up after tonight's battle.
