Lily, Chaos, Pups and Anarchy: Truth revealed

[©Lou Scarlet©]

The white femme padded slowly through the grass, head held high to take in the fresh spring air. She smiled and turned to watched the two cubs behind her frollic in the vegetation.

"I'm the oldest so I'll make a grrreat Alpha one day," Baby Pawz bragged, his head in the air.

"You?" sneered Red, wrinkling her nose, "You wouldn't even make and Omega!"

Baby Pawz growled playfully and lunged at his friend, toppling her over.

Lou chuckled and shook her head, returning her dark optics to the trees ahead of her.

"There you are," hissed a low voice, as a red muzzle pushed it's way slowly through the bushes, allowing another pair or dark eyes to get a better look at Lou, "all...alone,"

"Chaos!" snapped a voice and the red femme spun round to see a large grey female standing before her, a flower behind her left ear.

"Lily," Chaos said softly, "What is it you want now?"

The grey female glared at her, "You killed my sister," she growled dangerously.

Chaos eyed the other carefully, "Lily, it is a sun before your joining ceremony," the red female pointed out, "I'd advise you not to get on my bad side," she returned her gaze to Lou Scarlet who was now laying down in the grass.

Lily's face creased into a snarl, "Don't put it off, Chaos, I found out." and with that, Lily lunged, teeth bared, at Chaos.

The red femme was quicker and imediately leapt out of the way, sending Lily tumbling to the ground. "Fool!" Chaos spat before throwing herself ontop of Lily, "You want to go the same way as your sister? Fine!" Chaos raised a paw when suddenly, a flash of white galloped through the bushes and Chaos was thrown off Lily.

"Leave her!" Lou roared, teeth bared.

"Lou!" Lily cried happily, and the two friends embraced, "I'm glad to see you again! Is Anarchy here?"

Lou looked sadly to the floor, "Yes...but Stormflower-"

"I know," Lily said softly, "And I know who did it!" she spun round to face Chaos, eyes blazing.

There was a rustle of bushes and two small cubs poked themselves ont the scene.

"Pups!" Lou barked, "I told you to stay there! It's not safe!"

Chaos was looking at Red, a strange look upon her face, breathing heavily, "How can it be?" she whispered softly before turning back to Lou, the look gone, a smirk in its place, "So you're going to kill me? Go ahead, but I didn't know you'd reprive a cub of its mother, Lou?" she said, evily.

"What are you talking about?" Lou snarled angrily.

The thin smiled on Chaos' maw increased, "It's true, Lou Scarlet. I am Red's mother,"

[©Lou Scarlet©]

The area was silent of for a few seconds and then Lou spoke.

"It's not true!" she growled, refusing to belive it. But even as she glanced at Red she could see the strong resemblance. The red coat, the dark eyes...Lou sighed.

Chaos smirked, enjoying the effect this had on the white femme, "So. Could you do that to Red? Kill her mother?"

Lily was outraged. "HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT!" she shrieked, her hackles raised, "You hypocrite! You did exatly that!"

Lou couldn't take this all in. "What?" she asked, faintly.

"Baby Pawz." Lily said promply, which puzzled Lou even more. How did Lily kow his name?

A snarl apeared upon Chaos' maw, "How did you know?" she spat, "Did someone tell you? Who? I'll have their throat!"

"You already have," Lily hissed dangerously, "For it was Stormflower who told me just before she left to go for the meeting you called her to. But of course when she went to the meeting, she wasn't really going to a meeting, was she Chaos? She was going to her death!"

Chaos looked amused, "What a coincidence." she said evily, "Your sister dare tell you?"

"Tell her what?" Lou growled, "What is going on?"

Lily turned to her friend, "Lou," she said, calmly, "This is what Stormflower told me. She said that Chaos had had a child and had planned to abandon it with the indians, who of course were Chaos' friends. Chaos knew she could trust them. However, Stormflower, who'd just had a child of her own-"

"But Anarchy said the child died unborn when Chaos killed Stormflower!" Lou interrupted.

"Listen!" Lily said urgently, "Stormflower and her newborn cub came upon Chaos as she abandoned her own newlyborn child. Chaos was furious at Stormflower and forced her to abandon her own child too or else Chaos wouldn't let her leav alive."

Lou was dazed, "So...so Baby Pawz...is Anarchy's son?!"

[Taint]

A large shadow fell across the confused scene as Bullet emerged from the bushes. The ebony brute haulted and his orbs flicked from Lou to Lily to Chaos to the cubs, then back to Lou in a nano-second. The emerald pools were clouded with confusion as he looked upon the wolves. Noticing his sister's hate, he growled softly.
Stepping forward, he put his large bulk firmly next to the white wolf and glared down at Chaos, although he did not speak, his eyes spoke for him.
How dare you come back and torment my sister.
He bared his teeth at the red femme before turning to Lily and frowning, who was this wolf? What was happening?
He turned to Lou and his orbs harboured hurt, what had she been keeping from him and Jewel all this time, what was hidden inside his sister, where he could not reach, he could not go, not unless he let her.

He sighed and turned his gaze on the pups, his eyes warming considerabley as he managed a weak smile at Baby Pawz and Red.

-Taint, Lily doesn't have a scar! -

bic: Chaos rolled her eyes as Bullet appeared.
It's that brute again she thought.

"So that's the story," Chaos said, "Does everyone understand? Or should we go through it again?" her lips curled into a wicked smile, "Red is my cub, Baby Pawz is Anarchy's cub. End of story," the red femme was very impatient. But she enjoyed winding them up.

Lou wanted to run and tell Anarchy the news. She looked at brother and smiled warmly at him, glad for his company. Lou kew that Chaos wouldn't hurt the cubs. And even if she tried to, she was outnumbered.

"Red," Chaos barked and the red cub wimpered softly. "Don't worry, it's your mother. You real mother,"

Red looked wearily from Lou to Red. She knew that the fae in front of her was her real mother and her heart was swelling with joy. But why was her mother so nasty? Red gulped and with her ears flat against her head and her tail between her legs she slunk towards Chaos as if she was about to be scolded.

Lou made a sudden movement as if to stop the pup but knew she had no right, and recoiled her paw.

Chaos smiled and touched Red upon the head with her paw, "That's my little whelp," she said softly.

Neither Lou nor Lily had seen Chaos act like this and to two faes watched in awe. Baby Pawz shuffled closer to Lou, unsure what was happening.

"What are you going to do with Red?" the white fae demanded, her dark eyes glaring at the red femme. She didn't want to leave Red with Chaos. And neither did Baby Pawz. He bared his teeth and growled softly.

Chaos said nothing but leaned forward and picked the red cub up by the scruff and with a sudden burst of energy vanished into the vegetation.

"Red!" Lou yelled and lunged at the bushes, but Lily held her back.

"No!" Lily hissed, "Don't. She probably has a whole gang of wolves waiting for you to do exactly that."

Lou sighed. She knew her friend was right. "But what if they hurt her?"

"I don't know," Lily muttered, "But let's get Baby Pawz to Anarchy first before we do anything else,"

The white femme looked at Bullet, "Brother," she asked, "Are you coming with us?"

[Taint]

Bullet looked around, confusion plastered across his face. He snarled as Chaos took off with Red and made to go after her. How could a cub be left with cuch a monster? It was ludicrous! But his sister's voice snapped him back to reality. Chaos was Red's mother, he never realised 'till now that Chaos was a she-wolf, maybe even one with a mate. Sighing, he nodded and waited for his sister to lead the way.

But his emerald orbs still contained hurt, although he tried his best to hide it. His younger sister, one he had cared for and protected, was keeping something from him, something huge. Perhaps Lou though he couldn't be relied on? Perhaps she though he would sneer or laugh. But he wouldn't.

"Sister, you must tell me what's going on. I need to know so I can help. Who is this Chaos? Or Anarchy? What happened while you were away from me?"

[Taint]

ooc: Erm... -runs off to modify post-

The white wolf looked into her brother's eyes. She sighed and looked at Lily, "Bullet deserves the truth," she told her, "but I may need your help on this one,"

Lily nodded and Lou turned back to her brother and took a deep breath. It was time for the story to come out.

"As you know, I was about one and a half when I left you," she began, "I was young and foolish but I managed to survive, picking up many hunting skills on the way. It was one fine day that I bumped into a family of passing kerls who had two children. One was a year older than me and was dubbed Lily. The other, about my age, was named Stormflower.

So it was that I began to travel with this family, bonding very well with Stormflower, but, because of her age, Lily always seemed a little distant towards us.

Anyway, we had been traveling for many suns until we came across a beautiful waterfall and we stopped and Lily's parents made a den for us all to rest in. It had appeared that we had found our home.

However, Stormflower and myself enjoyed exploring the forests which surrounded the waterfall and it just so happened that we came across a young brute of two summers, his pelt a light grey and a scar across his left eye. We discovered that his name was Anarchy and soon him and Stormflower became very close friends.

It was soon to be revealed that Stormflower and Anarchy wanted to become mates and that Stormflower was now pregnant with Anarchy's children. I found myself to be qute jealous of them as they always went off on their own into the forests but I didn't know where.
It just so happened that one day, I wanted to go up to Anarchy and tell him how I felt of him taking away my best friend, so I followed the duo to a clearing in the forest, where, to my amazement I saw what I thought to be a pack, the red femme Chaos sitting in the centre, smiling menacingly at Anarchy and Stormflower as they entered. To tell you the truth, I was frightened. So frightened that I backed away and stood on a twig which cracked and told Stormflower of my presence. Stormflower beckoned me forward and it was, for the first time that Chaos and I were introduced. Chaos told me that I had arrived just in time for Stormflower's joining ceremony and to join the circle.

I had no idea what she meant, but did as I was told and placed myself between to burly black brutes who I noticed both had scar's across their left eyes, exactly like Anarchy's. I studied them curiously, but was snapped to the presant (sp) when I heard Stormflower cry out and I gasped as now, she also bore a scar."

Lou looked at the floor the memory of what had happened clear in her brain.

"Chaos then invited me forward to join aswell," the white femme continued, "but I ran and ran back to the waterfall. I told no one of what I'd seen, too frightened to speak.

When Stormflower returned home, her parents and lily were very curious to know why she now had a scar across her eye, but Stormflower told them that she had tripped, making them worried for her unborn cubs. But Stormflower assured them that all was well. She didn't speak to me agian that evening.

That night, as I slept, I was awoken by a noise. I realised that Stormflower was no longer in the cave and had left. I convinced myself that she had just gone for a drink and tried to get back to sleep. When I awoke next, it was morning and neither Stormflower, nor Lily were in the cave. I ran out, looking frantically around for my friends and suddenly, a grey figure grashed through the bushes, tears streaming down his face. It was Anarchy."

Once again the white femme paused, unable to continue for a few moments. A single tear trickled down her face."He...he told me that he had seen...seen Chaos m-murder Stormflower and the unborn cubs and that I should run. I was distraught and asked Anarchy if Lily was still alive. Anarchy told me she was and urged me to go. So, with one last look in the cave, I turned and ran. I ran until I found Misty Moors..."

Lou finished.

[Taint]

Bullet nodded slowly as the story unravelled. He was silent throughout its telling, his plume drooping to the ground as it neared the end. He swalowed hard as his sister finished and looked her in the eye for a moment, going over the facts in his head.

Chaos... she murdered Lou's friend? And a cub? Anarchy's cub?

He snarled, the death of an innocent cub enraging him far beyond his usual tempermant. Breathing deeply, he calmed himself. There was nothing he could do now. Nothing but help his younger sister and, well he supposed Anarchy too.

Stepping forward, Bullet pressed his cranium up against Lou's for a moment, then licked her maw. He glanced over to Lily and smiled sadly, before turning abck to the white wolf.

"Lou, I-I'm sorry. If Chaos ever returns, we'll get her. We'll stop her. Perhaps the pack will help us? We'll get the cub back and everything will be ok again."

He smiled reassuringly, although he did not believe a word of what came out of his jaws.

Lou smiled warmly at her brother.

"Bullet. I don't want you or any of the pack involved. Chaos is a dangerous wolf. I don't want anyone hurt,"

She looked at the floor as if ashamed.

"Lou," Lily said gently, "We should be getting Baby Pawz back to his father," the grey femme picked up the remaining pup in her jaws. Baby Pawz whimpered, sad at the loss of his friends.

"Don't worry about Red," Lou told him, "We'll get her back,"

She turned to her brother, "Come, let's go find Anarchy"
