serious," she said looking at me as if trying to find some kind of sarcasm.
"I'm serious, look at all the parents, there claws are sharpened, and you can see some of them starting to snarl there muzzle slightly"
Leva began to notice the same things I was, you could tell. She began to snarl herself a bit with a smile. "Suppose we join em' them?" Just as Leva had asked I was cut off from an answer, it had begun. A wolf in the very front leapt at the elder wolves taking them out with a simple rip of the throat. The other parents also charged from the crowed to fight off the few guards that surrounded our group. The guards were beaten on the ground continually, fangs and claws drove into their bodies, there blood flooding the ground below and showering those who beat them.
Most of our group ran at the sight of such brutality, others stayed to enjoy the sight. Those who ran were cut off from our path by the Arson's soldiers. He stood in front of his entire squad snarling angrily. As the parents completed their task of taking out the guards they stepped to the front facing Arson ready to take him and his soldiers out. It seemed to be completely silent for an eternity as the parents' eyed Arson as he did the same to them. To my surprise, Arson lifted his head up and removed himself from his attack ready position, and smiled. "Your surrounded completely rebels, you’re out numbered," Arson snarled.
"Who are you kidding Arson you know the only soldiers you have are right there behind you, you've been too stupid as to surround yourself with more protection" my father growled in response to Arsons threat.
"Oh, really" Arson laughed, "look behind you." It was then I realized he meant us. "Attack them! You mutts!" Arson shouted in command towards our group. Most of the group responded by entering their attack positions eyeing the parents', others stood fearful at the command after seeing what the rebels had done to the guards and elders. I had no idea what they could have possibly been thinking. I knew then that most of these pups around me were taken right at birth unable to be nursed and raised to size by their mothers' and fathers'. However, I still thought they should recognize their own parents when they scent them.
The parents immediately turned to face their children with soften eyes, saddened from what they saw. And then, the attack began, of children pitched unknowingly at their parents. The parents howled in agony as they were torn apart by the fangs of their own pups. As much as they begged and confessed themselves as their family the group struck them down. It was a horrible sight, watching the parents' suffer the same fate as the guards and elders. Beaten and mangled, bodies littered the ground, and Arson could only. The fighting began to die down to snaps and growls as the group surrounded a small group of wolves, which included my parents.
Arson swerved through our group towards the circle containing the remaining parents. He smiled at walked up to my father and eyed him down. "Well now, you wretched rebel, how’s it feel to be covered in your comrades blood." My father snapped at Arson who simply dodged it then smashed my father back to the ground with his paw. With intending, I let out a small yelp, which in the silence seamed to echo through the whole territory. Arson quickly turned in my direction and shot glances at all the wolves near me. "Who did that?" he growled as he walked in my direction. I stood my ground as best as I could but felt like I was the only wolf Arson could see he headed towards me. "You" he shouted pointing his muzzle, not at me, but Leva.
"M... M-me?" Leva questioned putting her paw against her chest.
"Yes, you, you idiot," he snarled. Leva bowed her head as she walked to Arson and stood in front of him. He growled then sunk his teeth into the back of her neck and threw her to the ground. "How dare you yelp at such a good thing?" He continued to beat her digging his claws into her flank several times.
"Stop this, I'm the one you heard," I shouted as I stepped towards him. Arson could only smirk devilishly and he turned away from Leva and at me.
"Oh really" he said, "and why is that? I honestly wouldn't expect such a thing from a male like you." As he spoke he eyed me curiously as if he had seen me before. He turned his head towards my father then back at me and realized where he in fact had seen me. I was almost an exact copy of my father, minus a few extra markings on my right flank. Arson snarled promptly then gripped my scruff in his jaws and threw me across the ground into the circle at my father’s paws. I stood weakly then after a quick worried glance at my father turned to Arson. "Kill them, all of them" he growled as he gestured at the remaining parents in the circle.
I stood trembling my tail sunk between my hind legs as I faced my father. He did his best to keep a hard look, why, I don't know but I knew he was doing it to help me. "Well, what are you waiting for mutt? Kill them, no rebel deserves life" Arson said as he gave me an evil smirk. I turned my head away from Arson and back at my parents. My father looked at me and showed me his throat gesturing for me to tear it, making it easier on the both of us. I looked back at Arson who was beginning to look impatient, and then I made my move. I immediately jumped on my father and caught his throat in my fangs. But I only pinned him to the ground, there was no way I was going to kill my own father, so I just stood on top of his throat in my mouth.
"Enough!" growled Leva from behind Arson, who quickly turned to face her.
"What did you just say you little she-wolf," Arson snarled.
"This isn't punishment for Kay, he's done nothing wrong, and you know as much as I do what your making him do right now" This caused quite an uproar in the pack but it was quickly silenced by Arson's shouting.
"Silence! All of you!" Arson turned his attention back to Leva and began to walk towards her threateningly, but she kept an attack ready position, "so who do you think you are to command a Higher such as myself?"
"I am Leva, and I believe you are no better than I am" she snarled
Arson laughed sarcastically but turned it back into a growl. "You fool!" he yelled and he grabbed her throat and threw her directly at me. My jaws, still around my father’s neck, were torn away by Leva's impact into my flank. As I skid to a stop I began to taste blood in my mouth. I stood as quickly as I could and ran right for my father. I looked down at him, ashamed, I saw him choking on his own blood, for the tear wasn't significant enough to kill him instantly. I put my paws on the wound trying to stop the continuous blood flow but it went on. My tears fell mixing with his blood as I heard the last of his life being choked away. I almost fainted, but knew if I did I might have been killed too. I took a glance at Leva, Arson, the group, the soldiers, everything began to blur into one thing. My head felt like it was spinning uncontrollably and there was nothing I could do.
In all the blur of my vision, the sound began to blur as well, the cries of the rebels, my mother and some of my group, the laughing of Arson and his soldiers. I didn't know what I was doing anymore; I just turned for my clearest point of vision and ran. The sounds began to fade but my vision began to blur even more as my tears stung my eyes. I thought Arson would have a group of soldiers after me at anytime, but all I scented was one wolf, and it wasn't a soldier, it was Leva. Even knowing it was her after me I still ran, as fast as I could. I finally came to a stop as I fell into a ditch looking up into the sky. The blur of my vision began to mix with the blackness of unconsciousness. The last thing I saw was a wolf standing at the top of the ditch I toppled into.
