After their short exchange the human left, huffing, and the beast was left alone.
He hissed and snarled and roared but the prey was still there, inside their metal boxes, teasing him.
The bear above all the others seemed to be laughing at him silently, Sebastian the humans had called him.
The beast hissed at the thought of humans, always giving things unneeded names.
He knew he was being hypocrite by acting this way towards them, he was partly like them after all but they reminded him to much of Spin.
Tired, he stopped pacing and laid down refusing to acknowledge the sobs that rose up his throat.
He closed his eyes and memories started popping up in his mind.
Blood, roaring and human metal crushing wood and green.
He remembered Spin's doe eyes wide with fear and hurt.
Spin, he missed him so much.
Spin was his little brother, his sweet clumsy little brother, with fur softer than anyone's and a mischievous glint in his eye whenever he saw an opportunity for a prank.
The kit had always been more human than him; giving the streams they encountered names and cooking the prey.
Finally he fell asleep under the gaze of a hidden Bree.
-Page Break, Dream and Flashback-
He was sniffing the air, crouching close to the earth, searching for prey.
"Can I ask you something?" Startled, the older one jumped.
"What?" There were a lot of things he wanted to say but he didn't like to speak, it was a thing his little brother did.
"I want a name."The older one cocked his head to the side.
"A real name, for me. And then I'll give you a name and we'll call each other by the name." The oldest nuzzled the kit on the neck, marking him with his scent.
"Why?" The youngest responded in equal way.
"Because, I want an identity." The oldest licked his brother's ears.
"You already have one." The little leopard separated himself from the other one and looked at him with pleading green eyes.
"Please?" The older couldn't bring himself to refuse, it had been too little since the rest of the leap* had died and neither of them had fully healed yet.
"Okay then, what if I call you..." He raked through his memories and one of them popped up, he remembered the young one turning, spinning around trying to catch his own tail, at the time one of his litter mates had called him dog but now it was a fond memory for the oldest."Spin!"
The newly named Spin smiled and purred loudly.
"I like it, Chase" The other purred as well.
"Chase? And why is that?" Spin smiled deviously.
"You're it!"And then he ran off, Chase knew he was supposed to hunt but he could hear Spin's laughter from there and so, Chase chased his little brother.
-Page Break, End of the Dream and Flashback.-
Bree smiled when she saw the leopard anthro fall asleep.
She turned around, ready to find herself a first aid kit, when she ran into Owen quite literally.
He stared at the three long gashes in her skin.
"What happened?!"
-Page Break-
Please don't hate me! I was supposed to update on Wednesday but I had to go my friends' house and watch them play Xbox for the sole reason that I am the only girl of our group¬¬, it's times like these I wish I was a gamer. Sorry I'm rambling and then I just kept procrastinating and you know it ended.
Anywhoozies,
I know this was just filling and you must be wondering where was the plot but I had to write a little about Chase's back-story, please don't hate me messing all the family trees!
Love y'all,
Tamo ;)
*A leap is a group of leopards, Chase's consisted of his mother, father, Spin and all his litter mates (a litter of five) and Chase, their mother had had an older litter (a litter of five) but they all left to form their own leap, Chase had a litter mate who died at birth,it was a male as well. Elaborated much?:P
