Looking for the Alpha

[~{Quoth}~]

Aim had done it, he'd managed to escape from the back of the truck as it had driven off. He was left with bruises all over his body and a pain deep within his ribs, but he was safe now.

Moonlight was another matter. He knew that she'd been captured, but with luck she'd have escaped herself. No thanks to him...

Aim snarled and clawed at a rock, leaving scores in its brilliant surface. If only he'd been able to resist the sound of music he'd have saved her...

Suddenly, something caught his eye. A black sypher seeming to be made of starlight. The black sypher smiled and laughed a bit. She walked over to Aim and whispered.

"There's going to be a war soon!"

Aim froze , shivers climbing up his spine. The Sypher laughed a bit more and disappeared.

[♥~*Moonlight*~♥]

Aim was knocked off the rocks as another sypher yowled.
"WHOA! Oof!"Moonlight gruntedd as she ran into Aim and tumbled down the rocks.

[~{Quoth}~]

Aim was winded as the alpha crashed into him. His bruised and battered body ached as he struggled to his feet. He was prepared to yip in annoyance at the sypher who knocked him over until he identified his alpha's face.

"Moonlight!"

He padded over, wincing at every step he took. He wished their tribe had a shaw but he'd have to do without.

"There.... You.... You're safe! There was this sypher and she said... She was.... A GHOST! She said... There was.... There was a WAR!"

Aim was excited, he was yipping like a maniac, jaws moving a mile a second. was practically bouncing with excitement, truth be told, if it weren't for his damaged state, he probably would be bouncing.

"Is it true? Is it?"

He wanted to know soooo badly. Aim prodded Moonlight with his paw and continued interrogating her with his eyes.

[♥~*Moonlight*~♥]

"No. Don't worry. We shouldn't wrry. We are the strongest tribe right now. And I just heard we're rid of the humans. Angeline let Haze go. They're gone."She mewed reasurringly.

[~{Quoth}~]

The black sypher reappeared, laughing at the game she'd started. She'd pull a few strings here and put a bit of pressure there... The war would start soon... She could feel it...

"Tell her, Sonata says that Deathclan will never forgive the crime she commited!"

Aim shivered, he'd never been able to hear ghosts before. This spirit, Sonata, seemed ever so slightly malevolent... And yet.... Kind? It puzzled him, but he decided it best to do her bidding, lest the spirit rain wrath upon him.

"So...Sonata says... Deathclan isn't going to forgive you..."

His mouth was dry and chalky as he spoke and he looked Moonlight in the eyes.

"Moonlight.. What did you do?"

Though as Sonata perched behind him, he began to understand...

[♥~*Moonlight*~♥]

"I killed Sonata. She wouldn't stop. It's no big deal, syphers fight all the time. It's life, now let's go Aim."Moonlight growled and started towards her camp.
"Touch my student and you'll find more than death."Moonlight growled.

[~{Quoth}~]

Sonata shook her head in amusement as the threat left Moonlight's mouth. Aim was such a fun young puppet... With a smirk, she followed the student into Moontribe Base. She knew no other syphers could see her, except for Aim, and possibly Moonlight. She snarled at the Alpha's name and cursed her to the depths of the Shadow lands.

Aim turned his head slightly to check if she was following him, seeing she was, he shivered. She remembered her first time conversing with spirits. She knew his pain. Sonata hovered closer to his ear and whispered.

"There's going to be a war and Moonlight knows it. Don't be a fool, stay on your toes!"

Aim nodded, he didn't want to dies. Though Sonata was from another tribe, though Moonlight found reason to kill her, he trusted her advise. A few questions burnt in his mind, the most profound danced on his tongue, begging for freedom. He couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Why me?"

Sonata smiled at him.

"Why not?"

Moonlight's claws unsheathed and her fangs bared as she continued to walk with her ears pulled back and her fangs bared.
"There are worse things than death. If you'd like me, Id gladly show you Sonota."She growled menicingly.

[~{Quoth}~]

Sonata bared her teeth, they bended light, they were light. At that moment, the moon caught Sonata's spirit at the right angle. She was beautiful, perfect, the essence of the god, only temproarily of course, but her appearance sent Aim reeling. Her fur absorded the light, sucking it into a hungry darkness, she was the void. Her eyes gleamed with the intensity of the sun, her teeth becoming fangs of starlight.

Aim was over-whelled. There was something about Sonata's current for that drew him in while nauseating him at the same time. After a few seconds, he couldn't take it anymore. Aim was sick and then fell over, unconcious.

Sonata turned and stared at Moonlight, malevolence in her eyes as they faded to their normal unearthly shade of gold. She returned to her average spirit appearance and hissed as her ears tilted back threateningly.

"Go on then!"

[♥~*Moonlight*~♥]

"Make me. This is my camp and I will defend it with my life."Moonlight growled and stepped towards Sonata.

[~{Quoth}~]

Sonata simply shook her head an odd ripple of noise left her mouth. Any sypher would have to ponder the unearthly noise before recognising it as laughter, but laughter it was. The shaw was fading away into nothingness, or invisibility as she liked to think of it as. It was rather disheartening to think of oneself floating in nothingness, invisibility was a more comforting term.

"I'd keep a close eye on your Student if I were you!"

[/i]

The voice was haunting, Sonata's and yet not Sonata's. It filled the ears of those listening and lingered, ripping at the mind in one torturous act to finish the night. If she'd been materialized, Sonata would've grinned.

~*~

Aim shook his head groggily and struggled to his feet. An odd ring filled his ears and he shook his head more fiercely in a futile attempt to relieve himself of the awful sensation. He looked up and spotted his alpha standing there.

Aim realixed she must've rammed into him harder than he'd thought! She knocked him cold! The student remembered the odd dream he'd had while he was unconcxious and thought it fit to tell Moonlight of it.

"Moonlight! I had the strangest dream! There was a ghost named Sonata and.... It was tooooooo creepy to be true!"

Aim chuckled at these last few words/ [/center]
