Chapter 10-
All the pups wers standing beside Ryder, smiling at Crescent. "Guys." She asked nervously. "What's with the freaky smiles?" "Your about to find out. Rocky?" Ryder said. Rocky walked forward and sat down infront of Crescent, somthing hanging from his mouth. It was a dark teal collar, with a silver tag that had a pickaxe on it. Crescent looked up at Ryder. "Why are you showing me this?" She asked.
Ryder chuckled. "Crescent. We want you to join as the PAW Patrol's newest member." Ryder explained.
Crescent's eyes widened in surprise and her ears folded back aginst her head. "Wh-what?" She choked out after several moments.
"We want you to join the PAW Patrol as our mining and exploration pup." Ryder said. Rocky put down the collar. "Come on Crescent. If you joined, we'd be able to see eachother every day. And You could keep teaching Zuma and I things that you learned in the forest. You'd be able to stay at The Lookout and have a home. We could do missions together! Please. What'do ya say?"
Crescent just sat there, her jaw hanging open as the pups and Ryder waited anxiously for her response. After several long minutes, Crescent shook her ead and said somthing nopup was expecting.
"No thanks."
It was the pups' turn to be bewildered. Rocky's ears drooped and he shook his head in confusion. "What?"
Crescent sighed. "I'm sorry Rocky. I barely know any of you, and I'm not just ready to leave my home yet. Sorry pups, but I can't accept." She sat up straiter and awaited their response.
Ryder sighed. "Well, we can't force you. If that's your descision, we'll just have to..."
"Woah woah Woah!" Chase interupted. "You don't wanna be part of the PAW Patrol? Who doesn't wanna be part of the PAW Patrol?" Everyone gasped, even Crescent.
She looked at Chase, who's eyes were blazing with rage. "I'm sorry, Chase. But that's my choise." She said calmly.
"But why? You'd have food, water, and you wouldn't have to sleep out in the cold. You'd have a family. Don't you want that?!" He snapped.
Crescent shook her head. "It's not that I don't want it, I'm just not ready for it. I've only just heard of you. I have no idea what you even do! I just don't want to make a commitment to somthing I've only just heard of. For all I know, you guys could skin cats for a living!" She told him.
Chase growled. "Your making a BIG mistake wolf-dog!"
That was the last straw. Crescent growled and leaped at Chase, pinning him to the ground. He pressed his ears back and yelped in pain and fear and the bigger dog held him down.
"Remember when I asked your opinion?" Crescent snarled in his face.
"Um, I uh..." Chase stuttered.
"Yeah. Me neither. So don't go around insulting people's breeds just because they don't wanna join your stupid club. Next time I see you doing that, I'll do more then just hold you down. Got that?" Crescent growled. She was muzzle-to-muzzle with him now.
Chase nodded vigorously. "Uh huh. I got it." He yelped quickly.
Crescent bared her teeth. "Good." She growled. Then she got off of him and walked back over to Rocky.
Chase slowly got up and shook his pelt. Then he blushed with embarrasment when he noticed the other pups staring at him. "He he. Um, wern't we talking about Crescent not wanting to join?" He said nervously. Rubble shook his head and Skye face-pawed. Rocky turned back to Crescent. "I-I understand why you rejected. I don't like your descision, but I respect it. Bye Crescent. You'll be missed." Rocky tried to sound professional, but tears leaked from his eyes and his voice cracked. Crescent flattened her ears. "Sorry Rocky." She whispered softly. Rocky just smiled weakly. "It's okay. Have a good life." He told her. Crescent smiled as well.
"Thanks. But, I figure It'l be easier for everyone if I leave now rather than in the morning. That way you can sleep." She said. Ryder and the pups nodded.
Crescent then said goodbye to all the pups, hi-pawing Zuma to cheer him up a bit. She even let Ryder pet her.
Then she got to Rocky, who was still crying. "Rocky?" She whispered. "Yeah, Moonbug?" He asked. Crescent's heart cringed with pain at the nickname. "I...I just wanted to tell you that..." She was cut off by Rocky pulling her into a hug. She hugged him back and finally let her tears loose. The two held each other for awhile, sobbing into the other's fur. Neither wanted to let go. But they finally did after a few minutes. Not a word was spoken. The pair just stared into each other's eyes, a sad smile on their faces. Then, after several minutes, Crescent stepped back, wiping away her tears. "Well. I gotta go. Goodbye everyone. Thanks for your kindness. I'll miss all of you. Equally." But even as she was speaking, her eyes drifted to Rocky. She then turned around, giving the PAW Patrol one last long look before racing away.
"Goodbye Crescent!" Skye howled sadly.
"We'll miss you!" Zuma yowled with her.
"Bye Moonbug. Have a great life." Rocky murmured. Then he turned around and was about to walk away when he was interupted by somthing.
A howl.
It was the most beautiful howl he'd ever heard. And he knew instantly who it belonged to. He turned around and saw his beloved sitting on the top of a hill quite a ways away. She tipped her head back and released a series of long howls. Howls of sadness and farewell.
Rocky then sat down and eyed her. He then tipped his head back and howled with her. Their voices painted the sky as the full moon shown down on them like a spotlight. They howled and howled. The others watching them, being seranaded by their beautiful song. Skye leaned into Chase's shoulder, her eyelids drooping. Chase noticed her and blushed a deep crimson. He put his paw around her and she snuggled into his fur as the two listened to Crescent and Rocky's howls.
Their songs finally ended as the full moon reached it's peak in th nigt sky. Crescent remained on the hill for a while afterwords though. Looking down at the only friends she'd ever had beside Sasha. Tears streamed down her face as her eyes met Rocky's. She gave them a last look befor turning around and running back towrds the forest. Leaving behind her friends and chance at a real life. For a purpose.
And she was running away from it.
A/N: So yeah. The End. Or not. You'll just have to wait and see. So yeah. Until next time! Or not. Bye! :3
