Wolpy's Dream

Description

Wolpy's eyelids were drooping as he curled up to get some sleep. The moon had been up for quite some time, but he hadn't had much time to rest. Between the mad dash with the caribou, to the cheers and questions from his pack mates, Wolpy had had a long day. He cracked a huge yawn, pointed teeth glistening in the moonlight. Wolpy' head plunked down onto the soft, powdery dirt and he bagan to doze off. His half conscious mind was disturbed by a second body curling up next to him. He lifted his head again and tried to blink away the hazy sleep that was clouding them. It was Dawnsoul. She smiled apologetically.

"Sorry, didn't mean to wake you."

"s'kay." Wolpy mumbled.

"That was an impressive catch today. The whole pack is talking about it. How did you manage to bring it down? You never actually told me."

Wide awake now, Wolpy smiled halfheartedly. "Oh, you know, it was nothing really."

"But it is! You brought down a whole caribou, all by yourself!"

Wolpy swallowed the lump rising in his throat. He didn't now how to explain the kill that he never actually did. He couldn't lie to Dawnsoul, she was too nice to him.

"L-look, I'm really tired right now, and I don't know if i could explain everything properly to you." He stammered, although he didn't think he could sleep now. Guilt was rising up in his throat like bile.

Wolpy saw sadness flash on Dawnsoul's face for an instant, making him feel even worse.

"Oh, okay then, good night." Dawnsoul replied, trying to mask her disappointment.

Wolpy closed his eyes and listened as Dawnsoul's breathing slowed into sleep. He finally dozed off for a few minutes, waking up fitfully and feeling as edgy as every. Wolpy shivered, feeling suddenly cold as ice. He opened his eyes, seeking out Dawnsoul's reassuring warmth, but the sight that greeted him was not of the warm forest night, but of cold, pitch black darkness as far as he could see.

Wolpy jumped up and whipped around, looking for someone, ANYONE, even Urten. But there was no one anywhere. He crouched low to the ground and shivered, partly from the cold, partly from the thought of being completely alone in this dark, icy blankness. A sharp wind nearly blew him over, bringing with it a high pitched cackling. The fur on his spine shot up and he turned his head slowly. Coming out of a hazy fog was the red-brown she-wolf he had seen earlier today. Her mouth was split in a huge grin, and she was the one laughing.

"H-h-hello?" Wolpy cried out, eyes wide.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! What a weakling! Pathetic. Cowering in fear! Ha ha ha ha ha!"

Her words stung like Sansenite's had used to, when he had first began teasing Wolpy as a pup. Wolpy tried to control his quivering body and, with great effort, stood his ground.

"I-I'm not a coward!" He said, his voice faltering painfully as he began.

"Oh no? then why must you steal prey from someone else instead of catching it yourself? Weakling! Coward! Pathetic tick!"

She started up her rapturous cackling again. Another figure began walking out of the mist; sansenite. his eyes glowed with a cold fire; a mix of rage and mocking.

"Stole it? Of course. I knew a worthless Omega such as yourself could never take down a live caribou all by yourself. You can only loose the DEAD ones!"

The she-wolf's mocking laughter grew louder at Sansenite's comment. Wolpy stared in horror at them both.

"I didn't....... I mean, it wasn't......" he choked out, suddenly finding it hard to breath. The icy wind burned in his lungs. He looked around wildly, seeking an escape from the cold hell. Wolpy suddenly felt he was being watched, and turned to see a pair of bright green, cat-like eyes watching him from the darkness. They bore into him, chilling Wolpy down to his bones. the she-wolf's laughter echoed in his mind, and even if he closed his eyes, he could still see the image of those terrifying green eyes, getting closed and closer......


AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wolpy's tormented screech carried through his dream world to the real world. His eyes bolted open, his heart racing as though he had just run over the mountains, and even farther. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his frayed nerves, when he saw Dawnsoul looking at him, a worried look plastered to her face.

"Wolpy!! Good god, are you okay?!? I heard you scream and thought that some terrible creature had gotten you!"

"Y-y-yes..... I'm fine....." he gulped, glad for the breeze of warm air that stopped his shivering. Dawnsoul shifted closer to him and gave him a long look.

"Are you sure?" she asked.

"Yeah, I am. just a bad dream, is all."

"Okay then.... if you're sure."

Wolpy nodded and smiled what he hoped was a convincing smile. Dawnsoul curled back up and fell asleep again after a while, but Wolpy couldn't bring himself to try. He was to afraid of seeing the terrible icy blackness and being stuck there. He touched his muzzle to Dawnsoul's flank in an attempt to banish the terrifying memories of his dream. Of his enemies.

I loved that part where Sansenite says "Stole it? Of course. I knew a worthless Omega such as yourself could never take down a live caribou all by yourself. You can only loose the DEAD ones!" hahahaha! it was so like himself! ;)
