Ashpaw was broken, its not something I had wanted or even thought would ever happen. He took my death as me abandoning him, and the fact that i chose to stay... It was to much for him. There was nothing I could do to help him, but I tried my best to guide him.

Chapter Twelve: Broken

Were is the howl coming from! Ashpaw heard his sister bark as they ran threw the trees. The night was dark but the light of dawn was peaking over the horizon. They continues running. They had heard the howl for help as they were heading back to there den. The camp had been in chaos when they had ran out, none of them knew what was happening of who it could be. They had knows instantly who it was and had left immediately. They had no idea what had happened but they knew Silversheen needed help. They heard the sound of several wolves up ahead and they both stopped just outside a small clearing. They saw several strange wolves surrounding Silversheen, there cent was unfamiliar was smelled fowl.

Snowpelt caught Silversheen's eye then darted around the clearing. Ashpaw stayed were he was and waited for his sisters signal. One of the wolves jumped at Silversheen and he sees his sister jump out into the battle. Ashpaw jumps out and takes down one of the wolves on the age of the clearing, taking him out with a surprise attack. He caught the wolves neck in his jaws and bit down till the wolves breathing stopped. He looked over and saw Silversheen grappling with the biggest of the wolves and his sister fighting with three smaller wolves. He ran over to his sister and jumped on one of the wolves. He watched helplessly as one of the wolves pinned Snowpelt. She struggled vainly against the wolf. The wolf looked at her smugly and got ready to finish her off. He opened his mouth when all the sudden light filled the clearing. A human vehicle had appeared out of nowhere and two men jumped out, one of them holding a gun. There was an explosion and the wolf on top of Snowpelt fell dead. Ashpaw starred shocked at the wolf, blood oozing form a hole in his side.

He didn't know what happened, it seemed to all play out so fast. The last thing he remembered was a gunshot, and the red stained pelt of his sister. He saw Silversheen stagger over to her and collapse. One of the humans ran over and grabbed her and put her in a cage.

The anger and sadness he felt was overwhelming. He turned and lunged at the other human, latching onto his arm and biting down as hard as he could. The human screamed and tried to shake him off but Ashpaw would not let go. Ashpaw finally let go, he had bitten to the bone and the human's are was gushing blood. The human ran over to the vehicle and hid inside. The truck turned and drove away. He saw Silversheen in the back of it, she was unconscious.

He ran over to his sister.

Snowpelt! He howled.

Other wolves flooded into the clearing.

What happened! He heard Blacktail bark at him.

He ignored his leader and laid down by his sisters body. His mind was numb and he drifted away from reality. All he could think of was the fact his sister had died, and it was Silversheen's fault. If she didn't go running off after Zorropelt this wouldn't have happened! He would not let her go unpunished.

I'm sorry Snowpelt. He wined quietly, then slipped into the trees.

No one noticed him leave in the chaos of the clearing.

He felt alone in the world, he had never imagined living without his twin. He didn't know were he was going but he refused to stop. He refused to stop and hunt or eat. The forest changed, the mist the usually flooded the forest dissipated and the air started to get cooler. He found the rode the trucks had taken and started following it.

I will find you Silversheen, and when I do you will pay for what happened to my sister.

Ashpaw.

The voice came from all around him. It was the voice of his sister he was sure. He was in a dark forest, he could smell human machines nearby but he could not see a rode.

Snowpelt! He howled into the night, his howl was full of his anger and sorrow.

A dim light filled the forest and he saw his sister walking towards him. She was almost transparent and seemed to glow faintly.

Snowpelt. He howled again softly.

Its good to see you Ashpaw, you haven't slept in days so I wasn't able to walk in your dreams.

I saw you die, I saw the life drain from you. He choked. The humans dragged Silversheen away shot you.

My death was... It was not what was meant to happen. I felt myself slipping away, but I refused to leave.

What do you mean? Ashpaw asked.

My spirit was bound to this earth, I will never leave to be with our ancestors. I will forever be a spirit of these woods.

Ashpaw stared at her in disbelief.

Why? Why would you do that? Its a curse! You will be bound here for eternity, unable to leave!

It was my choice Ashpaw.

It was the wrong choice! He growled, anger filling him, replacing his sorrow.

I must stay! I will not leave Silversheen to fend for herself!

But you don't care what happens to me!

I do Ashpaw, why would I have come if I didn't?

Ashpaw slumped to the ground, his anger gone.

Then why do you tread a path I cannot follow? The sadness in his voice stabbed into Snowpelt like a thorn.

I'm sorry. She whispered and faded away. The forest fell back into darkness.

If you were sorry you wouldn't have abandoned me.
