Hello peeps! I just decided to write this Scratch series called the Wolves of Obsidian and this is the next chapter. Enjoy! Cover by @squirrelflight1010! CHAPTER 20 Xgore/violence warningX Swiftflight gave a shrieking howl of pure terror. She tried to struggle away, but she couldn't move. Not even a foreleg. Bloodsight's terrifying pink eyes glared triumphantly into hers as she raised one heavy, powerful paw. Swiftflight closed her eyes, paralyzed. I am not afraid, she thought peacefully. I am okay. It'll be over soon and I'll be able to float away into Lupus' welcoming paws and- Her eyes snapped open to a yowl in front of her. Something had barrelled through the air, striking Bloodsight heavily on her now blood-smeared white head. Is that who I think it is? Swiftflight thought hazily. How in Lupus' name is it possible? He's lying in the Healing Cave right now, alone, how- It was Pheasant. The brown, grey and cream male reared up, his pelt looked glossy and untouched, his eyes not gunky and faraway but real, blue and sharp with pure fury. Swiftflight staggered to her paws, ears pricked, and lunged into the rolling ball of mottled tortoiseshell and deathly pale fur. She felt a sharp set of fangs - Bloodsight's - connect with her shoulder and a sharp bolt of pain flare through her. With an enraged screech, Swiftflight bit down hard on the first piece of flesh her fangs could find. Bloodsight's paw. She dug her fangs in deeper and deeper, and Bloodsight's eyes widened, her jaws opened in a silent scream of pain as blood spattered in a fountain from her paw. Over on the other side of the Jagged Cliffs, Obsidian and Ember were rolling in a ball of fangs and claws. Ember was winning. He put a paw on Obsidian's neck and prepared to bite. Swiftflight gave Bloodsight a sharp slash on her tail, and, in return Bloodsight whacked the side of her face with her muzzle, then nipped her sharply on the ear. Swiftflight felt Pheasant's silky, lustrous pelt brush hers as she shoved Bloodsight towards him so he could deliver a .bite The albino wolf didn't look so cruel and terrifying now she was desperately striving to attack them while being bitten, nipped and lashed the whole time she tried in vain to deliver and attack of her own. Her pink eyes had lightened in shade until they almost looked peachy-grey and Swiftflight could easily see the deep agonising sadness within them that any-wolf could see the albino was so desperately trying to conceal. Suddenly, there was a great flash of blinding light, and you could easily see the jagged, ominous outline of Ember and Obsidian at the other side of the Cliffs. Pheasant's eyes widened until Swiftflight was sure the deep, dark centres could swallow her up like a black hole. "Obsidian!" he shrieked, at once abandoning Bloodsight and streaking over to the two Alphas. Ember, who was in his awful demon-dog form, had his head lowered, ready to deliver the fatal bite to Swiftflight's Alpha's throat. "Nooooo!" Swiftflight yowled as well, lunging forward to strive towards the battling leaders. Just as Ember's jaws opened, gaping, displaying his yellowed, great fangs.... Pheasant sprang. Swiftflight reached a second later and she, too, lunged on Ember and sank her teeth into his raw, burnt flesh. The three legged monster staggered under their weight and let out a roar of rage, charging shoulder-first at a rock to crush the small, annoying wolves that were threatening his fight. Suddenly, a bloodied streak of pale fur rocketed through the air, bigger than Swiftflight or Pheasant. It was Bloodsight. "What are you doing, you fool?!" Ember roared, his yellow eyes sparking in a deeply unpleasant rage. "I am not the enemy! These DarkPack fleas are!" The albino's pinkish eyes had regained their disturbing pink glare. "No, Ember, I think you are mistaken," Bloodsight growled. "YOU are the enemy and YOU cannot win this fight!" With that, she drew a long, shining claw down Ember's leg stump where Obsidian's lava had sizzled off the forepart of it. The beast gave a shrieking roar of pure, utter fury and agony and bucked, flinging Swiftflight and Pheasant off. The world was spinning, spinning for a few seconds before Swiftflight finally landed with a shard of shattering pain on her side. The albino still held on, her teeth and claws buried in Ember's flesh. Why, why is she helping us? Swiftflight thought in a daze. Only a few minutes ago Bloodsight had been destroying DarkPacks and now... she was helping them. Finally, Ember managed to buck Bloodsight off and sprung on Obsidian, raking a claw down her neck. Swiftflight froze. So did Pheasant and Bloodsight. It's over. It's all over, Swiftflight thought, just as Pheasant tilted back his head and gave a choked howl of utter grief and terror.
