The Blood War
Chapter Thirty
Everything fell silent at once. The pain, the blood, Snowblind's crooked laughter; they all vanished in an instant. Everything was bright and shimmering, bright enough that Outlander believed it should have hurt her eyes, and yet it didn't. It was like a forest of stars, swaying in winds of a twinkling sky filled with what looked to be endless moonlight. The scene left her breathless, awestruck and lost in that one moment. She could stay forever.
Then she remembered what had just happened only a few heartbeats ago. The blood, the pain, the screaming. She had been murdered. She was dead.
The trees made of stars continued to beckon her, but she no longer wanted to go.
She backed away, startled by the feeling of her tail swiping over fur. She spun around met with the face of a stoic brown wolf. "Do you recognize me?" the stranger asked. Her voice was like a wolf's song, carrying through the forest up to the sky in a melancholy note. It was familiar, a voice that brought comforting confidence that everything would be alright. Outlander nodded, an involuntary smile filling her face. "Yes, mother."
It was difficult to recognize her without the deep battle scars and tired eyes, but the powerful she-wolf whose teachings had guided Outlander since her youth was still there, proud and commanding yet peaceful and patient. She looked her coywolf daughter up and down. While she had always seen Outlander's difference, she didn't point it out with malice or disgust, only with the intent of teaching Outlander the adjustments she would have to make to the teachings of a wolf. "You have grown strong, little robin," she remarked, using the nickname she had given Outlander for her red coat. "I'm sorry I could not see your first success in hunting. You know if I could have changed the past-"
"You would have shredded that mountian lion to peices," Outlander spat, bitterness against the cruelness of the world rising in her heart.
Her mother relaxed her eyelids and set her head up a little higher, the way she did when she was about to teach Outlander something. "Late in my life, there are few wolf traditions I believed in, but I have never stopped believing everything happens for a reason, little robin. If I had not gone, you would not be as strong as you are now."
Outlander wanted to retaliate, still believing it all to be unfair. Then sadness overcame her anger. "Have you come to welcome me to the Forever Grounds?" Her voice grew small as she looked around the starlit canopy above. Her mother gave a rare smile. "You know I have always tried to protect you, to make you stronger, but though I am your mother, I was by no means motherly. I thought you should be welcomed by a proper family member."
She turned, gliding through the trees like the silent spectre she was. Outlander passed behind her, not wanting to look at the evidence of the end of her life all around her. Her mother stopped suddenly, telling Outlander to look forward. There was a large open area before them, with a tall, sturdy tree at its center. A small figure lay curled under its shade. Even at this distance, Outlander recognized Scavenger's small frame. The real Scavenger. Tears threatened to burst from her eyes, but as she stepped forward towards the tree, her mother's tail stopped her. She looked up at her mother, crestfallen. "I can't see her?" she choked.
Her mother shook her head. "Not yet, but soon, I promise. You still have more to do."
Confusion and anger swirled through her mind. "I don't understand!" she shouted. In the distance, Scavenger's head lifted, turning towards the sound of Outlander's raised voice. "It isn't over yet," her mother said calmly. "Someday, you'll be brought back here, and she'll be waiting, but for now, you have more to do. Bone needs your help as much as you need his. He needs to be seen not as an 'it,' but a 'who.' You've given him some peice of his heart, a peice of real life, a peice he'll lose if he continues with the massacre he's about to start."
Outlander wanted to argue, but defiance had never been an option with her mother, and this time was no different. "I don't understand," she repeated quietly, her voice breaking with greif. The edges of her vision had begun to taper, flickering away like a burning flame. In the background she could hear the steadily growing sound of muffled shouting and growling, the sound of wolves in battle. "You will, my robin " her mother sighed, touching her nose to Outlander's. "I taught you to use anger as a tool. Now you must learn what I failed to teach you."
She continued to speak, but the sounds of wolves fighting drowned her out. The moonlight slipped away, and everything began to fade to black. Outlander called out for her mother, but her voice echoed into a shadowy, lonely abyss. The starry forest faded, and all was dark again untill she opened her eyes in a pool of blood and a world of pain.
Snowblind's eyes, cold and dead, stared back at her.

The Blood War
Chapter Six
Another waking nightmare, a wolf's skeleton, partially cloaked with dark, rotted skin.
He sat completely and utterly still, staring forward directly at Ashsky. A young, silver wolf stood before the beast, frozen by fear. Outlander looked around at the faces of her packmates to answer the question that had been coiling at the bottom of her stomach. The fear, the disbelief, the disgust ... that said it all.
This was no nightmare. This one was real.
Ashsky trembled a bit, clearing her throat before she barked, "Back away, Stormwind." Her quavering voice filled the still clearing. Outlander expected the beast to protest, the launch itslef forward, teeth bared, but it only stood, a silent, stone guardian keeping watch until the time to act.
"I can't..." murmered a small voice.
"Storm."
"I can't move. I can't," the poor young she-wolf whimpered. Her entire body trembled and she spoke in a whisper laced with terror.
"Please, Stormwind. Try. Please, just back away from it."
The word "it" sparked a flame within the skeletal statue. It tilted its head up slightly and as the sun shone on them, those eyes, once dead grey with boredom or exauhstion or both, suddenly shimmered a feirce blue. In one instantaneous motion, it shot the front half of its body forward, snatching Stormwind's neck in its bone jaw. Ashsky and the rest of the pack dropped into battle-stance immediately, ears pinned, tails lashing, and slobbering teeth bared, but none dared close in on the beast.
The silver wolf yelped, trying to break free of the beasts hold, to no avail. Every kick, every bite, every attempt Stormwind made had no effect, other than ruffling the beasts fur a bit. It's eyes shadowed, the blue flame that lit them dying out. It fell still into its statue-like state again. In a low voice that chilled the very air around them, emanating from some place dark and deep within, it growled, "Get rid of me..." The words didn't come out of his mouth. They didn't have to. Nothing about this creature made sense.
There was silence, then the voice boomed again, stronger ... angrier, "Get rid of me?"
"Stop this," Ashsky barked. "Let her go!"
The beast rose to its feet slowly, Stormwind still in its grip. It was a giant compared to the wolves.
Outlander had heard the stories coyote pups had scared each other with, about the death-wolf, the monster made of bones and skin that killed you if you were first to see it that day. Now realization hit her hard. Coyotes didn't bother with ghost-stories; monsters were real, and she was staring right at one.
The blue flame shone again, and the death-wolf lunged.

The Blood War
Chapter one
Sunlight laced itself through the wisps of white cloud in the sky, the broad blue expanse high above the treetops looming wide and welcoming. A cloud of dust whirled upward from Bone’s feet as he walked, sockets grinding together as he pressed weight onto his unprotected bones that he walked upon.
“Hungry again,” he rumbled to himself in a deep voice, no more worn than it had been six years ago. Or fifty. Or four hundred. “Nothing I can do about it. Unrepentant rats…” he spoke the last part in a menacing tone, swinging his head around to stare piercingly back the way he had come. Behind him, over the broad stretch of dusty, rocky desert which reminded him of his time with Journey, lay a low inward dip, trees and earth cascading into itself to form a protected valley, where a wolf pack had settled. Apparently ungrateful to have a connection with their ancestors, they had forced him to leave their territory.
He paused his walk as he reached the shade of a twisted, scraggly tree, inhaling sharply, causing air to whip into the hollow cavern of his skull and tasting the scents that danced upon his tongue. “Time to find a new forest,” he said in fake elatedness, jaw clicking and sending a tremor through his rib cage. “Or maybe…” As he turned to look back the way he came, he let out a gentle huff. “Flesh of my flesh, ripped from my bones,” he breathed to himself. An image of the small coyote he had found a long while ago wavered into his mind. “That was a… nice place. And not… too far from here.”
Bone spun in a slow circle, thinking. “There was a wolf pack nearby. Hm, hm, yes, a wolf pack nearby. And that coyote pack…” The involuntary motion of drawing his tongue across his upper lip escaped him at the thought. “Flesh and torn body. Hmm.”
With a swish of his battered tail, he turned and set off at a quick lope in the direction of the forest his mind had dare remind him of. In the direction of wolves who appreciated him; or, at least, pretended to. In the direction of a coyote pack he had stalked nearly two years prior.
In the direction of blood and flesh.

The Blood War
Chapter Eighteen
She wanted to attack, she wanted to run, she wanted to scream, but all Outlander could do was watch. The remorse and sadness in Bone's eyes was gone, the small bit of normalcy within him set ablaze and burned away till all that stood was his blind rage and bloodthrist.
"And you'd almost made the mistake of trusting him ... of pitying him," growled a voice in her mind. It was Scavenger's. "Don't forget who he is. Don't forget what he's done."
Bone looked up from Snowbank's corpse, his eyes meeting hers. She tensed, preparing for the monster to attack, but the fire disappeared and the remorse returned.
Don't forget, Scavenger's voice echoed.
"I," the beast started to say, but he was cut off by a long howl. Outlander looked back at Snowblind. The now sole heir called out in the night, and soon his voice was joined with a chorus of howls in the distance. He lowered his head and looked down at Bone. There was no anger, no sadness, just that same cold calculating look. "My pack," he said, "Is just a few bounds away. If you want to waste time attacking us, go on, but when they catch you, they will not make the mistake of letting you get to your feet again."
Bone seethed at the threat before looking at Outlander. "I didn't want this," he murmered.
Don't forget.
"Leave," she growled. "If I ever see you again, I will give my life to make you suffer."
There was hurt in the eyes of the beast, and he opened his mouth to speak, but another break of howls, much closer this time, prodded him to turn and dash into the bushes. Outlander felt her own anger begin to fade away.
"He followed you?" Snowblind's voice in the sudden silence startled her. She looked at him. No concern for his brother was there, leaving Outlander to wonder if he even had a heart.
She thought, choosing her words carefully. If Snowblind thought Outlander was working with Bone, he might blame her for his brother's death. He would kill her, torture her even. "He followed all of us."
"But he came to speak to you."
Outlander swallowed, her heart thudding, but she was spared the trouble of answering as Snowblind padded over to his brother's mutilated corpse. Heads poked out of the bushes, and Phantasm's face fell immediatly as she shot out of the bushes and ran to her son's carcass. "The beast was here, mother," Snowblind sighed. "Snowbank attacked it foolishly."
The alpha looked up coldly, her tear-filled eyes meeting Outlander's. The coywold resisted the urge to shrink away from the alpha's gaze. It would only have been incriminating. Phantasm turned to face the pack. "The hunt is over. I've lost my son. We're going home."
