Shupple
Everything had been peaceful and quiet enough to eat until the wall to the dining room hall burst through with foundation flying everywhere, including with food. I just blinked. Everything from a perfect, nice, and actually enjoyable night with dinner turned into disaster. It wasn’t what I had in mind, especially since I was sitting beside Mear.
Lupe was starting to freak out and some people rushed in to help fight off the small Houndooms and siblings of Hoom and Hon, but it wasn't making me any happier. It made me worse. Standing up from my position, I could see people winning and losing and Hoom leading her father, or really making sure to, into the forest. Just seeing that made me madder than a hornet. This was pretty much a nice night until now and it was obviously the father’s fault. That aura I had sensed from him earlier fit him to a T. There was no denying it.
“Where are you going?” Mear asked as he stood up and looked at me and I pursed my lips in anger.
“To help with the fighting, I guess,” I told Mear and he just looked at me.
“Okay… I kind of want to stay here… if that’s okay,” Mear asked uncertainly, and I could tell that his aura was different. He was worried about his masterpiece that he made and his drawing problem that he was having. I could tell he didn’t really want to be involved, and I guess I couldn’t blame him. I gave a small smile and did a small nod.
“I can tell you’re worried…” I left off quietly and he just nodded. We both turned around at the same time and walked off but I couldn’t help but worry about Mear. Was he going to be okay? I mean, I was really worried and everything…
He looked back too and we looked at each other for a moment and then walked off. Once I got out into the open field, I hurried over the forest and tried to stay in much darkness as I could. I knew what move I would use to help Hoom. There were so many family problems with Gijinkas… why did it have to be so troublesome?
Seeing Hoom in trouble, I looked at the shadows and then at the man. It wasn’t much sunlight… but I was mad enough to summon the shadows. And pretty much do anything.
“Shadow Sneak,” I whispered under my breath and took control of my own shadow and grabbed Hoom’s father’s.
“What the-” Hoom’s father spat as he looked behind her as he took his bite off her neck and I struggled to keep his shadow under control. He was powerful… but so was I, and I was mad and let it fly. “You Little bastard! What are you doing?!”
“Well let me say you I was enjoying this evening so much and what really pisses me of is that you destroyed it! I don’t Fuc**ng give a damn about it! And less if you are hurting my friends! You should just die!” I let loose and he let go of Hoom for a mere few seconds. Anybody who hurt my friends was going to get hurt… badly.
“Heh! Interesting Look Hoom! Your friend seems to care about you! I must admit it is the first time I get trapped by a Shadow Sneak; you seem powerful, little girl.” I scowled. I hated it when people called me that… Especially if it was a fatherly figure that wasn’t my own.
“Don’t f***** call me like that!” I yelled at him and he just laughed and started to get out of my grip. There wasn’t much sunlight here… I knew I was going to lose either way, but if it helped Hoom, then I was going to be fine… hopefully.
“Do you think this attack would stop me? How foolish… ” He chuckled and that’s when my breath stopped. Anything that happened to him would happen to me… and just this broke my breath.
He literally dug his claws into his stomach and I didn’t gap open my mouth. It just opened a little and dripped blood off of it. Damn it! Him stabbing himself in the stomach was an effect on me, which meant that I had also been stabbed in the stomach, and god, did it hurt like hell!
I didn’t really seem what was coming next as I tried to concentrate on the shadow but I was losing more and more power as Hoom’s father threw an Ember at me and it caught to the ground around my own shadow. I could feel myself burning as my shadow did and I completely lost control and fell to the ground. I hadn’t fought in a long time and this was an effect… How… pathetic.
Holding my stomach and stomping out the fire at the best of my ability, I laid down on the ground as Gil ran past me and knocked out the father. I spat up a little blood as I listened in on the conversation a little as a splitting headache came into me and I could hear my heart beating loudly with me trying to catch my breath.
“Can you move?” Gil asked Hoom and I kept my breath steady as I could. It wasn’t a fatal wound, mine, at least, but it was good enough to make me pass out for a good while. Hoom looked beaten and torn up as I looked at her through my hazy vision. God, I was dizzy…
“Is Shupple all right?” Hoom asked instead and Gil sighed and looked at me.
“OIIIII!!! Forgive me for this rude way of asking but Are you fine?” Gil asked and I looked at him, just moving my head slightly.
“I’m fine! Just a little dizzy….” I told him so that Hoom would hear. I guess she was worried… In a way, I guess I did really save her life…
I didn’t really hear anything else except footsteps heading this way, they seeming to be Lux’s, and Aberius’s, possibly. I couldn’t tell if it was Aberius or not. Feeling the blood seep through my clothes slowly, my eyelids got heavier and I felt my consciousness slowly slip away into the darkness.

Gray
I had barely gotten into the dining room, clean and actually looking nice when the whole wall burst through and little Houndooms and a whole family practically starting to attack the house and the people inside it. They looked similar to Hoom and Hon and that’s when I suspected they were probably related.
That’s when I saw Shupple run off towards the forest towards the main guy that was leading the whole attack. Knowing she wasn’t going to be in the right of mood, I hurried past Mear, who got a bare glimpse of me, and hurried over to the forest, avoiding attacks that weren’t thrown at me but just by me.
When I got there, Gil was already there talking to Hoom and Lux over near here. I couldn’t hear what they were saying but I saw Shupple lingering to stay conscious. Once she passed out as I got over to her, I picked her up with Lux helping Hoom up and Gil carrying, I think the father of Hoom and Hon and we all started to head out of the forest as the fight ended.
“You overdid it this time, Shupple,” I muttered as she stirred slightly and then just passed out once more.

Welp, I tried to include Gray! XD Shupple will wake up soon, but not at the moment from that wound. If she gets in the dark, it will slowly heal her, but would be not likely. If she gets the wound wrapped and she wakes up, she'll be fine. ^-^
