The Forest

Silvermask padded gentley through the area of Forest. She could see the Hunting grounds ahead. Her mission was the find the missing hunting party. Forcusing her eyes, she entered the North Hunting Ground.

Featherkite landed. The others weren't here, but she didn't want to go to the clan, yet.

Kooneria landed.
"What are you doing, Featherkite?" she asked her friend.

"You'll be leaving Moonriver" Featherkite's shoulders dropped.

Kooneria shook her head. "Tsuruya is, but it is mum's wish that I remain Moonriver. I'm staying. But I will visit mum and dad every so often!" she grinned. "I want to stay with my best friend!"

Featherkite looked up in facination.
"Even after what I did?"

"Well everyone makes mistakes!" Kooni laughed. "I accidentally hurt people inside alot... though it's nothing to be proud of, I want to let you know that even though I don't understand what you went through, I think I slightly understand what it feels like." she gave Featherkite a lick. "So, where are we going, capt'n?" she laughed.

A smile crept onto Feather's face.
"Fancy going exploaring or somat? We could find something intesresting? Or we could go to the Stream?"

Kooni nodded.
"Sure, Feth!" she agreed, making up a nickname for Featherkite.

"Kooni - Mind If I call you Kooni?" Featherkite looked back at Kooneria.

Taron stepped in.

"I'm sorry for butting in, but I got a little lost." He gave a weak smile.

Featherkite rolled her eyes. "Go back to camp -please!"

Taron frowned, snarling and ripping a leaf.

Featherkite swished her tail emtionlessly

Taron snarled and tore away.

Featherkite nodded simply.

"Sure!" Kooni laughed in response to Featherkite's question. "So, are we off to the stream?"

"Yeah!" Featherkite grinned. Her ears pricked at a yowl. Her blood ran cold, "Chessru's in trouble!"

Kooneria nodded and took off towards the sound.

Featherkite's eyes flashed unhappily.

Chessru strood through the brush and sat down with a thud. The place was farmiliar to him, yet he wouldn't tell. He was happy right? He had a mate, pups? But Chessru knew that is all honesty, he wanted to fight again. The engery was building up - and Chessru knew that one day the truth would be told. Chessru just wasn't ready yet.

Chessru pricked his ears, the low sound of whistling was lost in the air.
'Chessru, Chessru, Chessru' There was laughter, and a flash. The dark form of a female wolf moving forwards in the grass.
"Sunlit" Chessru muttered dryly.
'Chessru' She responded.
"Your playing a dangerous game Sunlit" Chessru hissed. Sunlit twitched her tail.
'The Timeline is messed up as it is' She shrugged, 'Neon's dead and I don't see her tryin' to come back or no-one else cleaning up this mess'
Chessru raised a wolfen eyebrow.
"Congratulations on knocking Starcliff back to the start-post" Chessru retorted sarcastically, "Although you got yourself killed again"
Sunlit rolled her purple-tinted eyes.
'Tynoka was just another form. I can create many more. You see, while Neon is a lazy tart, I tap into her powers. May-aswell use it for somethin'
"Why'd you come here anyway?" Chessru finally asked, his blue eyes glowing with defiance. Sunlit gave a wry smile.
'You made too many deals my friend'

Chessru growled.
"You want me to help you now do you?"
'You promissed' Sunlit pointed out. She circled him like prey, before taking a claw and slicing his face, letting the blood on her claw drip onto a flower.
"So I'll help you and you run off. I get it" Chessru muttered.
'But I don't break deals either' Sunlit added.
"Great, what did I want" Chessru half cursed. Sunlit smirked.
'Your first-born...'
Chessru's stomach lurched.
"What have you done?!"
'Featherkite will be just fine. But only if Creekstone finds her...'
Chessru didn't hear the rest. The blacked out as Sunlit picked the flower.

Tsuki padded through Moonriver territory casually. Ducking under branches, stepping over twigs. The Moonriver forest was small, but a direct route to the main camp. He spotted something white in the grass and his ears flopped with half-irritation.
"Not another one" He grumbled.
When he got nearer, he realised it was Chessru.
And he looked like he'd been beaten. Tsuki gave the white fluff-ball a nudge, and Chessru woke with a start.
"Woah, woah...Tsuk?" Chessru jumped to his paws, shaking the mud from his white pelt.
"Chessru" Tsuki commented. Chessru took a deep breath, looking at his surrondings.
"Sunlit is up to something. And...aren't you dead and what are you doing here and..."
Tsuki raised a wolfen eyebrow.
"Sunlit and her paln to screw with time" Tsuki sighed, "Yeah, I died, I'm back, I came to visit and hope none of you like Brook"
Chessru blinked. "I...but Taiyo..."
"Ohyeah, well..." Tsuki looked over Chessru slowly, "Is it visiting hour?"
Chessru gave a slow nodd.
"I can remember the day I met you. Sunfire and Silvermask might be pleased to see you, even if you did run off to Starcliff"
"Family ties Chessru" Tsuki pointed out.
Chessru shrugged, "Well come on then. I'd like to get back before Sunlit turns up again..."
His voice suddenly contained a look of horror.
"I've completely forgotten what happened! What she was going to do! It's like..."
"Neon. Sunlit's drawing her power. She's wiped you. She don't want no interuptions"
Chessru bristled.
"Well the clan cave it is then! She better leave Moonriver alone!"
Chessru broke into a run, and Tsuki followed suit.
