After Gray had killed the bear we could all relax. No one was really injured just small stuff...Not something to slow us down. Seeing everyone ok I went outside the cave. "The moon is up...A full one too..." I said to myself. May be I was wrong thinking that we could get to Harmony...
I pulled off my long finger glove and traced the scare that was up and down my arm. memories flooded back....
*Sky's memories as a kid*
"Ha got ya Dusk!" I glanced over to see Moon, my oldest brother pounce on Dusk. "heh! Get off of me!" Dusk said trying to push him off. "You know your bigger than him Moon." I looked over to see Star, my older sister. "He and Sky were born in a different litter so not too rough." She came over and layed by me. "Come on Sky!" Dusk called to me. "Sure!" I started to run over when Star cought me. "Come on Star! Let me play with them for once! Or all never be able to fight!!!" I wailed.
"No Sky. You know females don't train to fight." Star said in a stern voice. "Bu-" "No buts Sky. Now come on!" She said and grabbed my by the scruff of my neck. "Well I guess I'll see you latter!" Dusk called after me.
"Star!!" I started to whine. "Why can't I train with Dusk! This is soooo boring! I hate cooking, sewing, and all that other crap!" I hissed "We don't use that word Sky." She said not even looking at me. "You hear me!" She said her eyes like ice. "Yes..." Said and looked down at my paws.
*latter that night*
I heard hissing and smelled blood. I jerked fully awake when Star poked me in the side. "Come on Sky! Get off your lazy butt!" She pushed me up and pushed me to the door. "Wha-what's happening Star?" I asked still out of it. "Its an attack! Come on this way!" I smelled smoke. "Why is there smoke!?" Now all the way awake. "They must have set our house on fire! Grab my tail and come on!" She pushed ahead of me and I quick grabbed her tail.
I heard her scream cut off. I looked up to see a dog half breed with his jaws around her neck. I started to back away from him. "Sky! Sky where are you!" I heard Dusk calling me. "D-Dusk...? Dusk! Over hear!" I screamed as loud as I could so he could help me. The dog lunged at me. I got out of the way but the claws racked my arm. Blood started to come out of it quickly.
"Sky!" I heard Moon race up behind me. He hissed and started fighting the dog half breed. "Sky this way!" Dusk called me I turned around to see mom with him. "Come. We have to run...Far away and not come back." She let me lean on her as we started to get out of our house. "What about Moon!" Dusk asked and kept looking back. "He will stay and fight." My mother said softly. "Then I will too!" Dusk turned around. "No! Your not trained enough to fight yet." She said and lead us out into the woods.
All I can remember from then on is going to this human place and having the person put this wrap around my arm. I was out for a few days and woke up next to this strange cat. He said his name was Cody and that my mother left me and Dusk here. He said I had been out for a week. "I-I'm sorry Sky but your mother took in to much smoke...She passed with in a day after bringing you here. And your brother Dusk...He told me that he would be back soon. I assume that he went back to your home..Ya know to see whats left. Its been afew days...He's not coming back...I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this.
He layed his head on mine and I pressed my face into his fur....
I blinked and looked over to see Ariel coming out. I quick put my glove back on and just gave a small nod. I would tell her latter....But not now. She seemed to understand and sat down next to me.
continue?
Sky
PS I know in my profile that I said nothing about the fire, half breed dogs, or Sky's 2 older siblings...Sorry! I kinda just made it up now ;P But I guess I would have to say that she dose not like to remember stuff like that and likes to forget about it. The battle reminded Sky of when she could do nothing to help Moon or Star. And she never learned how to fight properly because her family was sexist. Guys went off to learn to fight. Girls sayed behind and learned to cook, sew, etc.
